Spare a few minutes to let Jimmy Stewart’s dulcet tones guide you through this 1954 public education short, featuring kids from Garfield and North Phoenix High schools driving around in those little cars the Shriners use. Some nice incidental footage of what looks like Central Ave, but the real joy is watching the utter chaos of the kids driving around before they learn the rules, and then sulking when their ‘licenses’ are suspended! Plus ça change…

Nice find/post. I’m pretty sure the incidental footage you’re refering to is Palm Dr just from 7th Ave toward the coliseum.
