A lengthy promotional film pitting Chevrolets against all their competitors! The theme
of this film is a “shootout”, and Chevrolet fires away with head-to-head battles

Chevrolet proves that they have the power to defeat all the competition.
Warning, this is NOT a film you want to watch with Ford, Mopar, or AMC fans!

Again we have Chevrolets pitted against all their competitors, and soundly beating

1962 promotional film, this is not something you want to watch with a Mopar or Ford fan!
