1950 Chevrolet Promotional Film - (b&w) - Titled "The Way You Want It", this film captures that period between
post-WWII and the extravagance of the mid-1950's. A great film that also shows how the Chevrolet Service Department
Technicians were like doctors for your car back then, wearing white lab coats, and treating your new Chevrolet like it was a
patient. Also some footage of vintage Service Department equipment, the Parts Department, etc.

1955 General Motors Promotional Film - (color) - Titled "Achievement U.S.A.", this General Motors promotional film
celebrates GM's 50 millionth car produced in 1955. GM pulls out all the stops with stage shows, a massive parade through
Flint Michigan (complete with walking AC-Delco Spark Plugs), a golden GM diesel train is seen, open houses at each
division office, etc. It's such a massive celebration that even high school kids are let out of class early! The ending is quite
surreal, as we see thousands of people milling about as the huge parade ends. Originally shot in color, but through a gold tint
lens to match the "gold" anniversary theme.

for this film, it is believed to be lost.
