What a waste of bandwidth.
Wow! Nice. Imagine the cost of doing this clip.
I looked for the 1939 Worlds Fair and GM was predicting the future:

Bold predictions. 🙂

Gen Z?
#1: Sort of like your post.
and they still built their autos the same way today… no wonder chrysler went banckrupt…
Well, AdmFubar, I doubt that, the robots might have something to say about it. But what a clip! And I’d love to have that factory fresh Chrysler right now, I’ll bet it’s worth a little more than the 1939 sticker price. My grandparents had one, or a ’40, it was a fine automobile.
I wouldn’t mind driving a Plymouth Prowler for a week. Maybe a Viper.
It doesn’t seem to be an efficient way of building a car…
On Coast to Coast ( art bell) they said that this a prediction of how in the future the Japanese would build cars by robots
Thus this all foretold and predicted the current problems of the auto industry
Now I understand why their transmissions suck.
Amazing how car technology has changed… And, in some ways, it hasn’t changed.
And not a UAW cardholder in sight.
Loved the 3-D effects though (watch out for that bumper!)
#2–Jag==nice links. Yes, interesting they underestimated the growth in technology AND the need to reduce consumption. They also assumed USA superiority in all things===and kept that up until just about last week?
Neat film. Looks like an early work of George
Pal who did stop action cartoons. The Polaroid
3d presentation probably was done originaly
with polarized images which required Polaroid
viewing glasses. I first saw this demonstrated
in 1942-43 when the Army Air Corps used it for
3-D arial photo mapping.
Those Chrysler products sure look ugly now.
