50 Millionth GM Car: a '55 Chevy_

Here's a nice ten-minute tribute to the 50 millionth GM car, a '55 Chevy. It does show a lot of the manufacturing process of this special automobile.. Lots of historic footage. Seems to show the grandeur of GM back in the day. Enjoy! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=whfXv8LiISE&feature=youtu.be

Another recommended website for all thing automotive

A few days ago, Doug Bailey of the Peach State Cad Club sent out an email recommending the URL Tvraaca.org  (The Villages Region Antique Auto Club of America) which is a listing & portal for an array of U-tube historical car videos.
 
This triggered me to remember one of my favorite sites. Perhaps the website site, Ateupwithmotor.com  is something u already know about, but if not, it is worth visiting. Since taking up the hobby 30 yrs ago, I have become interested in all aspects of automotive history.  Somewhere along the line I stumbled across this well written Ate Up With Motor site. It gives gives dozens of excellent historical accounts about a host of automotive models, innovations and personalities. I would recommend u visit it and perhaps make it a favorite.

Links to some great old car movies

I recently found this link to The Villages Region of the AACA, where someone has compiled a priceless set of links to our favorite old movies featuring the cars we love to love. My favorites so far have been the 13-minute “Body by Fisher” from 1950, “Joey Chitwood’s Thrill Show,” from 1956 (featuring ’56 Chevies), “Baby Cadillac – A Silent Film” from 1913, “Driving in NYC in 1928,” only 4 minutes.
There are nively done documentaries on the Larz Anderson Museum, which we visited during the Boston Grand National meet a couple of years ago, the Lane Motor Museum, which we visited in Nashville a while back, and the LeMay Museum as well.

But my ABSOLUTE FAVORITE is without parallel! It is a 22-minute visit to the Auburn-Cord-Duesenberg Museum in Auburn Indiana – where several of us visited last September. This little movie is like walking back into time a few months… I HIGHLY recommend a viewing!
