1936 Ford V-8 Dealership Filmstrip

Silent Filmstrip, "Judge For Yourself"

Deluxe Ford V-8 for 1936 is from a set of filmstrips purchased at auction by George Borg, President of the Woodside Terrace A.M. Kiwanis and Executive Director of El Centro de Libertad, an outpatient recovery program. The films have been sealed away in their original canisters in a safe for 30 years.

"Judge For Yourself" is a limited release production used for training in Ford dealerships. Also purchased at auction were the original combination record player / filmstrip projector and accompanying records providing audio track.

This initial restoration was performed by Michael Akana.... Images were transferred to digital media to restore the image quality and to avoid damaging the original media. For this presentation only the video portion of the filmstrip was restored.

$900.00 for a rebuilt engine is still cheap.

Some people aren't going to like customizing no matter what you tell them, I happen to think a fully restored car is a beautiful thing. and if someone has that much skill to customize a horrable condition car, why not restore it to it's former glory? that's just my opinion, where I live I'm seeing too many of these custom jobs and not enough classics.

[ddarkshark]

do you deny the great art forms of rodding and customizing? do you know anything about it? most hot rods were resurrected from such bad condition that most auto restorers wouldn't even consider investing in them.the great beauty of Kustom Kulture must be totally

unknown to you, CREATIVITY WILL RULE. your comment is based on ignorance. i love custom cars. i despise your comment- because it is repressing art itself. wise up!

[salemcripple]

yes i know that. I'm not that stupid. I was simply commenting on how much less things cost now days. By the way $900 bucks wouldn't even pay for an overhaul now days.

salemcripple:

$56.50 in 1936 is equal to about $900.00 in 2008 dollars. The average wages in 1936 were around $1,700.00 per year ($28,000 in 2008 dollars), so, it's a little more than you think.
