When financing creates more wealth and profits than selling one car, US Capitalism shall prosper. The invention of payments allowed many to afford a car. It’s a win-win for all, until car companies created death traps which generated safety engineering which increased the cost which increased the payments and financing costs. Ironically, the safety improvements created a false sense and drivers go about recklessly which causes death and injuries and wrecks cars which means more cars are needed at higher prices. It’s all documented.

Jam Handy was a pioneer in producing industrial films. They were NOT produced for television, as "commercials" or "advertorials." They were made especially to run in movie theaters, as a "short" before the feature. Jam Handy was the semi-official film production company for GM for 50 years, maybe more.

@garryferrington811 Жыл бұрын

I have a good story about when Handy lost the GM account to Bill Sandy (yes, it rhymes.) Handy was getting rather senile, and when the Sandy film was run at a corporate event, Handy yelled, "Stop! Stop! We have to make changes!" He hadn't realized he'd lost GM. Everybody felt so badly that they did stop it. I used to work with Handy veterans, and I heard that from Ed Zelinsky.

If you are wondering why an automobile commercial spans over six-and-a-half-minutes? Probably for the time needed for the film projectionist, in the movie theater, to switch film reels on the film projector back in the era of "double-features." Years ago I found out that those classic cartoons, such as Bug Bunny [which have endured well in the television age], were originally produced for movie theaters releases, with running times around seven minutes. The reason why for that running time? According to Mel Blanc's autobiography [the voice of Bugs Bunny], it was to entertain the audience for that allotted time so the film projectionist could switch film reels for the double-feature program in the movie theater.

@garryferrington811 Жыл бұрын

Good story, although untrue. A "reel" couldn't be less than 540 feet of 35mm film (out of 1000'.) Producer Leon Schlesinger told his directors to exceed that as little as possible to save money on prints. The Disney shorts tended to be longer (say, 700 - 800 feet) as Disney wasn't so cheap. A projectionist could get a reel mounted quite quickly, probably under a minute.

The engine was toast. I bought a totaled 1955 Ford Thunderbird and stuffed the V8 it into the EA coupe. Kind of an instant "Little Deuce Coupe'. Pulled the engine and restuffed it into a 39 DeLuxe Sedan. Traded the EA for a 1937 Willys Coupe. Sold that to a local drag racer and with a few bucks and a little more horsetrading I bought a Cad/Allard (Caddie Flathead) Next was a 1947 Chevrolet business coupe with a 302 CI GMC innit.

@@mr.roaddogwade7107 The thing is with the ice cream man is that you have to be in new neighborhoods with young kids. When I was in Taneytown, MD just last year, there was an ice cream man. It was a new neighborhood with houses still being built. A ton of young kids out playing in the summer. When those kids grow up and become teens, it'd make no sense to keep circulating that same neighborhood.

In an Aussie so I'm not the best authority on this but - before WW2 the U.S. had pursued a policy of isolationism and, understandably, wanted nothing to do with anymore European wars. They had no need to project power and only planned to defend against invasion. After Pearl Harbor that idea went out the window and the Japanese had no idea how fast the yanks could industrialize their war effort.

The changes that occurred (by putting a couple of the right people in the right positions) from 1939 to '40 to '41 were absolutely amazing. For anyone interested there's an outstanding video on KZfaq titled "Preparing the US Army for WW2" by The Chieftain. It covers not only the industrialization but also the reorganization of the Army - things like "An Armored Division might be useful, but let's not tell anyone else in the Army what we're doing or they'll try to stop us."
