The Way You Want It 1950 Chevrolet Automobile Film

Mr. Gleason whips it into reverse and the back up lights come on. Back up lights on a Chevy had to be a big deal back in 1950.....so was that Sun Engine Analyser.

Ah, the days when we could be sexist as shit and random workpeople would say sexist shit back.

Long before safety was ever considered by the general public, it's nice that car manufacturers put safety above everything else, even if the public didn't.

Great cars, I just finished rebuilding a 1950 Chevrolet for a customer and have those videos up here on YouTube, 1950 Chevrolet test drive. , parts 1 thru 6. Cars like these in the 40's, 50's and 60's were sturdily built, cheap to maintain - - keep good oil in them and grease them and they run a very long time and are cheap to fix. The new cars of today are just overpriced junk. Always something wrong with the lousy expensive to fix computers.

Leslie Nielson...the 50's cars are sculptures on the road as well as the early 60's and 30's...I would suggest because of WWII the 40's styling somehow became more serious and functional, an Emotional reaction to the War, maybe.

@theflorgeormix I agree with your comments on the cars of yesteryear. But, the thing I am confused about is your mention of Leslie Nielson. The Chevrolet shop technician who checked 0ut the customers car was Eric Fleming who played Gil Favor on 'Rawhide'.

To bad America isn't what it used to be. With gas inching to $3.50 per gallon will drain the thought of even getting behind the wheel of an automobile, eventually.
