| General Motors Promotional Films : 1970-1982 |
The first film on this DVD is titled "The Bodybuilders from Fisher", and traces the assembly process of various
GM cars at the Fisher Body plant, circa 1970. Within the film, we see several different body styles being
assembled, painted, etc. including some footage of the Pontiac Firebird, Chevy Monte Carlo, and Chevrolet
Chevelle. A great film if you're interested in how Fisher Body built and assembled GM vehicles before they were
shipped to various General Motors plants for final assembly. Quality : VG+ (25 minutes)
The second film on this DVD is similar to the one above (another GM/Fisher Body promo), but this one is from
1981, and is titled "The Innovators". In this film, we can see how heading into the 1980's, Fisher Body began
using PC's, IBM 370's, and magnetic tape drives during their design and production phases. Assembly and paint
processes are shown for various X-Body GM cars (Citation, Phoenix, etc.) as well as other mid-sized cars.
Quality : VG+ (26 minutes)
The third film on this DVD is titled "The Changing Architecture Of The American Automobile Body" (1982). In this
film, GM traces the styling design of automobiles through the decades. Though dated, this film gives a good
reference as to how bodies changed from the early, boxy pre-1930's era styling to the sleeker 1940's, the excess
chrome of the 1950's, etc. Very interesting to note that GM gives credit several times to Ford and Chrysler for
specific styling innovations or trends. This film shows some aging, but is very watchable!
