Watch McDonald's Ads With Customers and Staff From 1955

Here are the three sweetly nostalgic documentary-style ads featuring a former McDonald's employee who tells the story of how the job led to him meeting his wife, a man who stumbled upon the burger shop on its first day of business, and a couple of the restaurant's first regulars.
