1937 - This person was only 6 years old when on May 28th, the San Francisco Golden Gate Bridge opened to cars. Taking 5 years to build, the 4,200-foot-long suspension bridge was an engineering marvel of its time - 11 men died during construction.

First released in December 1937, it was originally dubbed "Disney's Folly" but the premiere received a standing ovation from the audience.
