From Monterrey to Mexico City, a 1940 Tour of Mexico | 16mm Film Scan

Travel through 1940 Mexico in this beautiful silent Kodachrome home movie filmed by coal magnate L. Russell Kelce. Covers a fairly wide swath of Mexico, traveling by car from Monterrey to Mexico City and surrounding areas, including Teotihuacan with a view of a pyramid (unsure if it is the Pyramid of the Moon or Sun)

Footage was really quite excellent, only lightly color corrected/post processed.
