American Look (1958)
Sponsor: Chevrolet Division, General Motors Corporation
Producer: Handy (Jam) Organization
Part 2 of 5

This great Jam Handy picture in Technicolor, (presented in 'Superscope' widescreen, whatever that means) picks up where the American Engineer left off, and tells us all about the wonderous stylings of America today. Plenty of weird and very strange dssigns, even for today, much less in 1958 are presented. Your Dog can have a Art Nouveau Dog House! Don't like the plain browness of your catcher's mask? Make it orange! Do you want to attract bears? Make your tent bright blue! Since this is a Jam Handy movie, soon all of this winds down to, of course, the design of automobiles. And what an automobile it is... The 1958 Impala looks (literally) like a killer car with it's too sharp back wings and (yikes!) spikes on the front grill! Check out the building where the people meet who designed this thing, and soon you'll realize why this very odd looking car doesn't look so out of place!
