Hey, I am glad you liked it.🙂
Wow!! Great vids. My dad (RIP, age 90) had a robin’s egg blue Corvair. Haven’t heard that name in YEARS! Nice memories. Thank you!
Omg look at all the racist satanically indoctrinated scum in this video

Back then, they sold cars. Today, they sell payments.
That is the truth.
That’s exactly right. And in doing so, they’re selling you a car you can’t afford!!!
When financing creates more wealth and profits than selling one car, US Capitalism shall prosper. The invention of payments allowed many to afford a car. It’s a win-win for all, until car companies created death traps which generated safety engineering which increased the cost which increased the payments and financing costs. Ironically, the safety improvements created a false sense and drivers go about recklessly which causes death and injuries and wrecks cars which means more cars are needed at higher prices. It’s all documented.
@@Rhaman68
That is exactly right. I couldn’t have said it that well. But everything you said is absolutely true.
General Motors created GMAC Finance in 1919.
My Dad restored a 1941 Ford. I saw it when it was a huge rats nest in a barn. After he was done we went for a ride from North San Diego County to Long Beach. It was both fun, and frightening at the same time. I was proud of my Dad because that car was a brand new beautiful car when he finished it. The gloss black lacquer paint finish could be used as a mirror. I sure do miss my Dad.
A couple of modifications;
Disc brakes
LED headlights
Seatbelts
Radial tyres
Alternator
Octane rating adjustment to 91-93
.... should be about ready then.
@@neville132bbk How would an older car run without an alternator?!?
@@markgunther2502 they had generators. They didnt charge well if you were stopped idling. Also some early cars were 6volt, much easier to repair or "hot rod". Fun fact, air cleaners had an oil bath to help filter dirt out of the intake air...and you know an amateur if he doesnt pull the starter crank up. Easy way to break an arm pushing on the down stroke of the crank.
@@nickv1008 Oh ok well generators and alternators served the same purpose.
@@markgunther2502 generator mostly recharged the battery that powered the lights and starter motor(if there was one. Ignition was a magneto)..alternator powers the computer ignition system, air conditioning and heat fans, the lights, the navigation system, cameras, and internet, oh, and charges the battery, but yea, about the same.
Saw the ad and immediately ran out and bought a 1935 Chevrolet. This ad speaks the truth. It is a well-balanced automobile that suits all my needs!
I want that RV!
Thanks for coming through the time traveling machine and posting the message :)

@@analogman9697 hmmm, this thing is from the 30's.
Me too! Mine's blue.
These would have been shown in movie theaters, as there was no TV yet.
Interesting

And to be shown for New Car Salespersons.

Also too long for TV.

There was no tv in 1935! this was a movie reel intermission film
Love it. So typical of the day too. Took six minutes to get to the punchline and today you can hardly hold an audience for 6 seconds. Awesome seeing those big trucks and motorhome in their heyday too. Really cool.
Extremely short attention span. So sad 😩
I found it amazing that not once was the brand ( Chevy) or Chevrolet mentioned. now it's all they say.
Especially the motorhome! LOL
These are movie theater shorts.
Sales then was all about the product. Today product specifications are irrelevant, its all about the emotional appeal, jump for joy and happiness the purchase will bring to the buyers
Jam Handy was a pioneer in producing industrial films. They were NOT produced for television, as "commercials" or "advertorials." They were made especially to run in movie theaters, as a "short" before the feature. Jam Handy was the semi-official film production company for GM for 50 years, maybe more.
I have a good story about when Handy lost the GM account to Bill Sandy (yes, it rhymes.) Handy was getting rather senile, and when the Sandy film was run at a corporate event, Handy yelled, "Stop! Stop! We have to make changes!" He hadn't realized he'd lost GM. Everybody felt so badly that they did stop it.
I used to work with Handy veterans, and I heard that from Ed Zelinsky.
Especially as tv didn't come into serious play til the 50s.
@@Tittlemouse69 Remember newsreels? I do.
My papa (died in 2013) was born then. 1935. Love him dearly. Greatest man I’ve ever known. I was named after him. Can’t see anything without it reminding me of him
My papa died in 2008, born 1936, Love him dearly too..
Jesus Christ is the greatest Man I've ever known. My father was an alcoholic enabler to an abusive mean narcissistic wife (Mommy Dearest).
@Reese Daniel : Most of us have fond memories of our departed parents. Let us enjoy those memories. Why there is always some partypooper around?
This was an excellent presentation on the need for tradeoffs in design. But that !930s motorhome was the best thing I've ever seen!
it has a shower bath. not the other kind of shower I guess?
This commercial emphasized that the 1935 Chevrolet was the optimum blend of all desirable factors. This concept is appealing even today.
It would be nice if auto makers today, did this optimum blend of factors.
And made in S Korea
According to the commercial...why should I buy a Chevy over a Ford? I don't know. Actually, at the end of the commercial, I wasn't sure which car I was being sold...I thought it was a general motors car...but it could have been a Ford for all I knew.
@@michaelcolfin8464 The implied message was that Chevrolet gave a better balance of those features than other car makers.
One concept the overlooked: how long an advert should NOT be.
I had a 1950 Chevy 4 door Deluxe. Loved it with all my heart
I'm sold, I want a brand new 1935 Chevy right now.
That's gonna set you back about $575 my friend
Resto mod?
There's one for sale in my town....$45,000 and it's yours!
will try and buy one for you once i get my time machine ready and working..the flux capacitor in it is not ready for that yet..
My grandpa raced a 35 Chevy 3 window coupe on the dirt track, back in the 50’s. I’m building a pre-war coupe painted up to look like his. I miss him so much.
I remember everything in this video. Even the horse drawn milk wagon. That 1935 Chevy was so easy to repair. My first car, at 15, was a 34 ford coupe with a "rumble" seat. I was working in a gas station during the war. I felt like a king.
I think the world has moved on in the wrong direction....
I liked this video.
It was educational.
And now I know why my left knee doesn’t work anymore.
I gave 6 children and 10 grandchildren that same knee action ride.
Jam Handy films are always great!
I have a 1937 Chevy Business Coupe /// They were such great, solid cars back then ! Great video, thanx for sharing !~
I have a 1938 Chevy Business Coupe. Mine is a retromod but the body styling is still the same. I love these cars!
@@JohnnyThrobber Yes indeed, beautiful cars they are ! Hang onto yours, long as you can...I am selling my '37, but not much choice...Enjoyed it for many years tho !
( They are getting harder to find, all steel...most got stripped/tubbed out in the 60's for the drag strip...Happy Motoring!
@@olvinyldude Thank you my friend. I'm sorry you're in the process of selling yours. The cars are rare but so are guys like us that love them! I love meeting people like you as I almost feel like we're family. LOL
@@JohnnyThrobber Yes indeed ! Love to see them still, all over...go to carshows!
I love it how the horse just stops when the milk man jumps out of the wagon to deliver the milk!! Smart horse!
The horses know the route !
Trained horse.
I was going to comment the same thing smart horse
My grandfather was a baker in the 1930's and his horse knew which houses to stop at for deliveries. His mates used to joke it could beat him at poker!
That milkman jumps out and runs up the sidewalk like an Amazon driver!
A really good elderly friend several years ago gave me a ride home from church in a car that isn't much Newer than this, I think a 1940 is what it was. It was so much fun to ride in a car from back then, felt so good and the ride was surprisingly smooth.
I remember my dad used to work on these types of cars, from this era. What I really like, is the styling and attention to detail in the design. They really wanted to make things look good as well as work good, back then.
Visit Cuba. The old American cars are everywhere, many in mint condition. The really nice once are used as tourist taxis for those of us who enjoy riding in a classic! We toured in a 1940 Ford. Great place and lovely people. Been 13 times.
Everything was made in America back then, with pride in their work. That's why everything was BETTER back then. Food was better and not full of garbage toxic franken chemicals as well. Which is why nobody was obese back then. All of these things have been done to us stealthily over time and on purpose but people are too distracted and brainwashed to see it. There are malevolent forces behind every single institution, we are the slow boiled frogs in a pot being boiled by a dehumanizing slow rolling monster that can't be stopped because the other frogs think it is a jacuzzi.
If you are wondering why an automobile commercial spans over six-and-a-half-minutes? Probably for the time needed for the film projectionist, in the movie theater, to switch film reels on the film projector back in the era of "double-features."
Years ago I found out that those classic cartoons, such as Bug Bunny [which have endured well in the television age], were originally produced for movie theaters releases, with running times around seven minutes. The reason why for that running time? According to Mel Blanc's autobiography [the voice of Bugs Bunny], it was to entertain the audience for that allotted time so the film projectionist could switch film reels for the double-feature program in the movie theater.
Good story, although untrue. A "reel" couldn't be less than 540 feet of 35mm film (out of 1000'.) Producer Leon Schlesinger told his directors to exceed that as little as possible to save money on prints. The Disney shorts tended to be longer (say, 700 - 800 feet) as Disney wasn't so cheap. A projectionist could get a reel mounted quite quickly, probably under a minute.
Its amazing how far technology has come in 90 years, but its nothing compared to far society has fallen in the same time.
Sad but true. I hope we can Make America Great Again!
Notice how car ads used to talk about the practicalities of the car. Modern ads are all about screens, Bluetooth and color schemes.
Yeah, and they’re boring!
I love the part at 3:30 where the announcer says the driver takes all precautions before he drives and then puts on the little cloth/ leather hat.😂 I can see my grandfather delivering the milk which helped support our family during the depression. Great stuff.
That was Sir Malcom Campbell; a legendary land and water speed record driver. At the Daytona Beach run he did in 1935, his two-way average was 276 mph/444 km/h.
Campbell died in 1948, at age 63, from chronic health issues.
Yeah and they failed to mention that the milkman's horse can walk himself down the street without a driver and also can auto park. Let's see the Chev do that.
Yep, raised in upstate NY I had an uncle who drove a milk truck door-to-door on a morning route. Though word was that he somehow managed to afford a new Cadillac every year on a milkman's salary.... by doing a little 'side work' as a Bookie, so it wasn't always just 'milk' he was delivering! ;-)
Milk was so much better back then. You could put it on the front porch, in direct sunlight and it would stay fresh and sweet! Must have been the glass bottle. I 😉
@@bloqk16 We wonder if Sir Malcolm had a Chevvy in England? Our milkman was 'Buddy" Alcorn.. Owner of "The Alcorn Mercury". A Barris "Kustom".
I am a child of the next generation of this car.. But, I love this presentation..! None of this applies to now.. Who cares..!
This is a wonderful presentation of America's automotive past.. I love it..!
Call The undertaker... I think I died of boredom.
That Race Car was Wayyy ahead of it's time in Styling.. very interesting!!
Looks like an F body design, like a Corvette or 90s Camero
I guess I’m old. 😬😂 We still had a milk man when I was a kid. I just love these nostalgic videos. 👌👍🇺🇸
We still had icemen (men who delivered ice for ice boxes)
I remember milk man for about 1 year, then it stopped.
Then of course we had the Ice cream man also. When that Icream truck came around the corner playing the loud speaker song. 👏👏🕺🏻🕺🏻🍦🍦
@@mr.roaddogwade7107 The thing is with the ice cream man is that you have to be in new neighborhoods with young kids. When I was in Taneytown, MD just last year, there was an ice cream man. It was a new neighborhood with houses still being built. A ton of young kids out playing in the summer. When those kids grow up and become teens, it'd make no sense to keep circulating that same neighborhood.
In fact, when I grew up in the 1950s, I remember a green vegetable delivery bus that would deliver to the home.
Cool commercial. Looks like a good product. Can't wait to go to my local dealership and buy a 1935 Chevrolet.
Even though filmed in the midst of the terrible Great Depression, this ad depicts a wonderful time to me. The style, the courtesy people showed each other .... we have really lost this in America today.
makes you wonder if it was really that bad, those were some pretty sweet homes
It was no doubt good for some, but also a terrible time for others.
We have not lost the Courtesy of US society, you have seen the wide spread adoption of other social norms. A smaller segment of US society still embraces the ideologies of yesteryear which are rarely seen today.
That was a horrible time. People starved to death and lived in hobo camps. Glorifying poverty and pollution is mind bogglingly stupid. I will never understand people who think the past was a fun time.
If there is some restrictive law today you think ruins society, change it without reverting our entire quality of life to the depression. All those old people who have or had silly habits they picked up during a depression were trauma victims from a terrible era in america.
My Grandmother died in her 90's...she used to say, " the good old days weren't that good"... when she died she still had calluses over each nuckle from using a washboard. Some of the stories she told were a bit depressing...as for courtesy, well it depended on whether you were part of their social group...they were farmers, and I'll never forget going to church with her and having to sit in a specific area....the wealthier sat in front...and the " poorer" sat behind them.
This is actually a very good commercial. Now, I want a 1934 Duesenberg Model J Murphy Towncar.
Way back in the day I bought a 1935 Chevrolet EA coupe ( 1950s) The Chevrolet engines had babbits instead of crank bearings. The EA coupes had front axles instead of knee action front suspension. . The engine was toast. I bought a totaled 1955 Ford Thunderbird and stuffed the V8 it into the EA coupe. Kind of an instant "Little Deuce Coupe'. Pulled the engine and restuffed it into a 39 DeLuxe Sedan. Traded the EA for a 1937 Willys Coupe. Sold that to a local drag racer and with a few bucks and a little more horsetrading I bought a Cad/Allard (Caddie Flathead) Next was a 1947 Chevrolet business coupe with a 302 CI GMC innit. This was big block #2 . #1 was out of a sprint car and was a litte rough on trannies . Present ride, a 66 Mercedes with a Chevvy small block and a very reliable 2004 Impala..
Had a 2000 impala, but not built and reliable as my Vietnam Era 1971 chevelle sedan with a small 307. That 307 was a tank!
These old commercials are so much more interesting to watch imo. Simple, practical, straight forward and no frills. Simple ads in simpler times (comparatively) .I get tired of all the loud, flashy, weird nonsense that today's ads throw at you along with all the socio-political agendas that are subliminally tucked in to them. Sometimes I don't even know what they are advertising until the very end! 😀
Once I was watching a commercial, and a show came on!
@@woodhonky3890 But when I think it's a show, it turns out to be another commercial!
I agree with you.
Well, this ad didn't get around to naming the product until a few seconds before it ended, either. Some things never change. 🙂
It's a comm3ntary by today's standards
What a beautiful car!
I think cars looked better then. I love the look- the vertical grill, the external headlights, fenders, running boards, split windshields- They had tons of character. Also, that was an interesting shot of Daytona Beach back in '35. That pier is still there with that restaurant building on it.
I remember an old auto engineer who had work for various auto makers all his life being interviewed. He said up until the 1980's you immediately knew what make a car was from the radiator grill design or the shape of the tail lights. But now, even he couldn't tell what make most cars are as many have morphed into a 'world car' design.
Sounds like your living in the past
@@clairevero Someday you will too 🥴
Today's shapes have to do with fuel economy. Vertical doesn't work well with that.
@@caelachyt Negligible.
Malcolm Campbell was a beast. So was his son Donald, who once held the land speed and water records at the same time--and then very shortly after he was killed at over 300mph on a lake in England.
I find it interesting that even way back then, they were talking about the fuel economy of the car.
Yes it was a thing for sure. People just get used to paying whatever for a tank of fuel so if one car gets 20% better economy it was a talking point long before OPEC price shocks etc.
Well when gas is 5-cents a gallon, you need to watch your budget.
And the fuel economy is still the same on a lot of the vehicles sold, which is insane.
This was during the depression, most people didn’t have much money
FYI: The 1935 Chevrolet five passenger sedan came with an inline 6 cylinder engine with either 74 bhp or 80 bhp. It weighed 2,700 pounds and was priced at $500. And there was a total of 42,049 produced for that year.
Lol, and it had all the power anyone would ever need...... according to this commercial.
My Aunt worked for 25 cents/hour during the Depression. so a $500 car at 25 cents/hour = how many hours?
Imagine paying $500 for a car nowadays. 😆 Monetary Inflation is the worst.
@@ElectraFox Especially when inflation has far exceeded wages. The average car in 1970 was 25 to 50% of an average annual salary, now it far exceeds the average annual salary. 36 months was maximum on a loan, now it's up to 8 years.
$500 back in 1935... the Depression
That Jam Handy was quiet a successful ad film guru.
He was also was a Olympic swimming and water polo champion.
Jam Handy created the Polar Bear Club, which was guys who swam in the Detroit River in the middle of winter. He also may have invented the "filmstrip," although I think J.R. Bray also made that claim.
My dad had one of them. When I was about 5 he took me to town with him one cold winter day for groceries or something, and I remember being so cold I thought I was going to die! I'm 76 yrs old now and I don't think there was a heater available in that car! I remember the pain I felt back at home thawing out. Ron
Heaters were optional in some cars until the '60s.
@@garyszewc3339 As were those new fangled radio things. LOL
@@BlondieSL and then it was a single speaker in the dash AM radio.
Very interesting, thanks for sharing. DM.
Such an intelligent presentation of all of the options available in the automotive world and why their product, that offered the best of all worlds was a good buy. By comparison car commercials these days are so dumbed down. It's almost as though thinking for yourself was something that was valued in the US in 1935.
Those were some rather fine looking houses it drove past...
Did anyone notice how clean and well-maintained everything was? Even during the Depression...
There is another Jam Handy film somewhere on UA-cam where I could plainly recognize Lake Shore drive in Grosse Pointe. And yes those are some nice houses. I didn't recognize any locations from this film though.
I found the clip if you're interested an if you're familiar with Detroit you might recognize it around 8:30. ua-cam.com/video/JOLtS4VUcvQ/v-deo.html
0:25: Those horses were so used to their route, they didn't have to be reminded where to stop! Note slack harness straps to prove the point.
Those are the reins.
Yes, our milkman had a couple of boys to help, the horse was an essential part of the team. When they changed to electric delivery vehicles about 1967, the milkman took longer to complete his round, as he had to drive it himself.
So many stories of retired delivery route horses that became depressed and grumpy once no longer working. Some guys would take them out for their "route" now and again as a pick me up. The loyalty went both ways with a good human/horse team.
I’d love to see a restored motorhome from that area like the one that they showed. I don’t think I’ve ever seen anything like that anywhere even on TV or on places like American pickers. That thing looks awesome.
Looks like a sturdy tank
"English pigmy cars" LMAO
They prefer to be called "inbred people".
Carroll Shelby took one of those English pygmy cars, the AC, stuffed a Ford 289 V-8 into it, and called it the Cobra.
The rest, as they say, is history.
1:40 That 1935 Chevrolet going down the road was a really nice looking car.
LOL, 4:14 when the guy pumping gas at the gas station wears a lab coat, you know he's legit :)
What a great window into our automotive past....
*People won't believe it now, but when I was 4 & 5 in Dearborn there were still 'vegetable trucks' that were 'open' and HORSE-drawn with the back-portion flat and a man on a bench calling 'Raspberries!' 'Strawberries!' 'Sweet Corn!' for sale...then in '59 or '60 it was a straight-truck w/engine & cab and a loudspeaker on top of the cab*
*1960 was the last time I ever saw the 'Veggie' Man*
( *The horse for that flatbed was GIGANTIC!* )
____________
*it tripped a memory when I saw that 'milk-wagon' in the first part of the video*
( *Our house had a 'milk-box' built-in to the side and a 'coal-chute' that was already out-of-date when I was still a 'diaper-butt* )
*The milk-box was galvanized metal w/an outer & inner door...milk was still all bottles then w/a waxed-paper flat lid*
*You could also order eggs, cheese, and bread!*
that would actually help these days, if the women could be home with the kids
Excellent Commercial.
Just think, some of the audience watching this were Indian fighters, Civil War vets, grew up with candle light and outhouses, had only horse and wagons as transportation while as a kid, and so on.
The change in technology must have been astounding to them.
My dad saw the 1st cars and airplanes AND sputnik ,the moon landing.....When he was a child most people used horses for transportation....He was shocked by sputnik....
Yes, but still not as earth shattering as the technology changes we are about to experience today: artificial intelligence will change everything. It doesn't make me happy to contemplate it.
Wow this is a great ad. I want one now!
I was hoping that would last a little longer. I enjoyed it. Love that motorhome!
Excellent presentation!!
Save ONE thing missing -- glimpses (to the MAX, not just a flash here and there) of the INTERIORS of the vehicles...
Well, this was edited almost 90 years ago, and i presume they didn't think there was much to the interior to show off at the time.
Love it on so many levels! Thanks for posting. From a time before customer-focused subliminal advertising.
Indeed John Graves - Advertisements used to provide information rather than only portray the desired image.
@@lifelonglearner56 Well I hope the 1935 Chevrolet comes with a leather hat for safety!
@@wolfshanze5980 Well, I guess no domestic-use car comes with head protection ... but it's obscure as to how that relates to the focus on image rather than information in modern advertising.
I am glad you enjoyed this blast from the past. 🙂
Wow! My church is shown at the 4:26 mark. Thank you for sharing this so I could see that!
THESE WERE BEAUTIFUL CARS!!
Showing Great War era FT-17 tanks in a feature from 1935 illustrates the woeful condition of the U.S. Army in those years.
When World War II started, the United States had something like the 17th largest military in the world. The idea of using Minutemen militia may have worked in the 18th Century, but for modern mechanized warfare it takes a little more preplanning.
In an Aussie so I'm not the best authority on this but - before WW2 the U.S. had pursued a policy of isolationism and, understandably, wanted nothing to do with anymore European wars. They had no need to project power and only planned to defend against invasion. After Pearl Harbor that idea went out the window and the Japanese had no idea how fast the yanks could industrialize their war effort.
@@every1665 - You're right - except that a lot of the groundwork was laid in the months preceeding Pearl Harbor. The changes that occurred (by putting a couple of the right people in the right positions) from 1939 to '40 to '41 were absolutely amazing.
For anyone interested there's an outstanding video on UA-cam titled "Preparing the US Army for WW2" by The Chieftain. It covers not only the industrialization but also the reorganization of the Army - things like "An Armored Division might be useful, but let's not tell anyone else in the Army what we're doing or they'll try to stop us."
@@dougearnest7590 Interesting. Thanks.
My favorite part was finally learning the proper term for the "knee action ride."
The 1935 EA Coupes had solid axles.
This is a neat old film. My grandparents were born in the early 1900's from 1904 to 1926 and it's interesting to see these old films that show what it was like and what they were living through.
Loved it. Since there wasn’t television in 1935, I assume this was shown in movie theaters.
Times were sure different back then. 👍🏻
Back in those days people had the patience to sit through a 6 minute commercial.
These commercials were shown in movie theaters before the main movie. You could hardly get up and walk out. What you are saying is anachronistic; a mixing of eras, or comparing bygone times by today's standards
Somebody will SNAP one of these days...
Gotta love those split rim tires, easy to repair, and didnt kill as many tire changers as you would think. 👍👍
"You can build high speed in any passenger car today, but by doing so you'll sacrifice safety, comfort, and economy." Dodge Challenger Hellcat - Hold my beer.
Damn 1935 car commercials. If it was much earlier it would be like, "Sick of riding horses? Check this contraption out..."
"Get a horse!" was a popular saying, in the early 1900's.
Looks like the NEW 1935 Chevy was driving on Lakeshore Drive (Lake St. Clair would’ve been on one side) past the Grosse Pointe, Michigan mansions. I’m here for that!!❤
I thought the same thing. It would make sense.
I asked my Chevy dealer about getting a 1935 Chev and he said they were sold out of that model. Not sure when he'll be getting any more in. These supply issues are driving me nuts.
There's a bright side -- if and when they do decide to make some more, they won't be at the mercy of China.
Almost as long as some UA-cam commercials. 😊
This is as relevant now as it was then. Excellent and enjoyable commercial.
When choosing your vehicle of choice, it is good to have all of the best aspects of safety, economy, and comfort. I agree. I am glad you enjoyed this. This is the type of content I enjoy, and I wanted to share it with the world.
sure beats their sickening ads today
And the dangerous Dodge racing ads.... fatalities are up. Nhtsa used
To ban these ads.
Another wonderful Jam Handy production!
This is a remarkable video of life in 1935….
and vehicles that you don't want.
Where were all the homeless people?
It was a "film." Look up "film" on Wikipedia. And you won't be able to imagine this, but nobody had big-screen tv's.
A very nice commercial with lots of information. However: No Sex. Very little brand identification. No hidden manipulation. Its refreshing to me.
Yup, I really really needed a 7 minute advert from 1935 to tell me that we need more crossovers
What.. 87years? Man-o-man, one generation. It's hard to comprehend the extent to which this country has evolved in sooo many ways in such a short span of time...and how many ways it hasn't changed at all.
The world! Not just "this" country!
@@BlondieSL yes! But to be honest you'll have to agree the world, for the better part, followed this country's lead.
03:05 Holy sh!t its an 1935 Pontiac Firebird!
Even back then you could get yourself a sports car, for 1930s standards at least.
@@ElectraFox You couldn't get yourself what is shown at 3:05, not unless you were very wealthy anyway. That one of the Blue Birds made for Malcolm Campbell, custom made for land speed records.
The first "Kitt" from Knight Rider!😂
I thought EXACTLY the same. That front-end, no? 50-years, or so, before?
Made a lot of sense. Not like today where the advertise singing in the car or how it looks. Nothing about the car but how much fun it is.
The length of that commercial would cost 50 billion dollars these days
and at the superbowl?
Hermosos tiempos esos !
Comfort, Safety, Speed, Economy.. 1935 was a radical Citroen Light 15 with a monocoque chassis, front wheel drive, torsion bar suspension, low slung... Incredible roadholding ...
Ab Fab! Thank you for posting this piece of history.
That car that was racing on the beach at 4:00 - I think I had a Matchbox of one of those, or something like it anyway. Boy I'd like to see the various vehicles shown in this film today, like that 10-ton truck for instance, or that RV they were riding around in. This was really cool, but I wonder where such a long promo film would have been shown.
In a theater.
Would love to see a Mystery Science Theater riff on this
MST was overrated. Never found it particularly funny.
Okay, I am convinced. I want a 1935 Chevrolet!
I was 5 yrs old when that commercial was made
I think the milkman got it right.
I liked how the horse knew to come to a complete stop and wait simply because the milkman dropped the reigns and stepped off the wagon. Of course the milkman said something too, but just the same, the horse didn't have to be checked. it knew what to do.
One attribute curiously missing from this film is reliability.
The Japanese invented that later on.
Also conspicuous by its absence was any mention of price. No reference to affordability for all those features they touted.
@@randallulrich if you have to ask the price, you can't afford it. Cars in the 30s were for an elite.
@@thomasburke2683 FORD?
In my dad's day you bought a new car and prayed it wouldn't turn out to be a "lemon."
Jam Handy! My old friend!
Still impressive today. Yesterday’s hypercar
Many of us thought they didn't have ads in theaters until recent years! This ad was hardly shown on television in 1935!
The television was first developed in the 1930's. *Broadcasting had begun in 1939 at the New York Worlds Fair.*
One year later there were 23 television stations and over ten thousand homes had a television in them.
If was 1935, interestingly enough, when televisions change from the spinning wheel type (flying spot) to "electronic" television.
I love the history of television.
no one watched them in the theaters, it gave to time to get popcorn and fizzy pop before the movie started
Walt Disney's first movies were ads for Kansas City theaters, I believe around 1919.
nice to see not one car bursting into flames that cant be put out.
no worries of an emp back then 👍
you just described the EV cars potential fire hazard of today!
It's perfect. When I drive down dirt roads, I just roll up the windows.
It was neat to see Daytona Beach back then. I have spent many lunch breaks in my car near the peer. Always wondered what watching a race looked like.
Get a thrill out of a knee action ride
What you get when management allows engineers to lead the creative effort.
No,engineers are not concerned w/buyers.
If this film is from 1935, my dad would have been about the same age as that kid being bounced on that guys knee. Too wild.
The ONLY AD I HAVEN’T SKIPPED
I wish I had $535 to buy one of those snazzy new Chevrolet jobs.
Now I see, Ron Popeil didn't invent the thing called infomercial, Chevy did. And Chevy only needed less than 7 min to do the job, instead of 30 :)
I met the Pocket Fisherman, he was a High Energy, Positive guy. RIP 🙏
In the old days before TV, when you could only see moving pictures at a theater, they would show infomercials like this between movies, cartoons, newsreels, etc. as a sort of filler.
Love the design of this car. I wonder if some day car companies will be able to custom make cars from any era via 3D printers. 🙂
