This B&W clip shows POV driving in the American South during the 1940s, and appears to be centered around Kentucky & Arkansas.

Begins with driving up and over the Irving S. Cobb Bridge, a narrow, steel-grate bridge that spans the Ohio River and connects north-western Kentucky with the southern tip of Illinois. A roadside sign says, “Route 45.” This is followed by a slow, pan-right shot of the bridge in its entirety.

The remainder of the clip shows driving through a sometimes hilly and sometimes curvy two-way street through rural, sparsely-populated parts of the South. Images seen include: on-coming traffic; occasional street signs, mail boxes, and telephone polls; trees leaning over the street; isolated homes; and the hood and hood ornament of the car being driven. 

At one point, the car passes a sign for the “Johnson County Fair,” a fair that would have happened in Johnson County’s Clarksville in the state of Arkansas.

The final shot is upside-down and short and shows people getting out of a car.
