Film was made for showing at the Ford Building at the 1934 Chicago Worlds Fair. The car being built is a 1934 (check the hood -- two hood handles per side).

Entertaining and creative.

What a cool little movie! Must have taken a lot of effort and talent to do all that in 1933. Thanks for sharing that with us Ryan.

Thanks Ryan for that,
We took our 34 coupe out in the pouring rain yesterday for coffee, when you think how long ago they were made ,and they still work and LOOK great.

I saw a movie once where this same thing happened to a '58 Plymouth... It didn't end as well.

That was fun! I felt like a kid again watching that. That probably took some serious technology for its time.
