America on Wheels (1952)
Production Company: Pathé News

Explores the effects of the advent of the motor car in America and some of the motorist's early problems, including frail, flat tires and frequent breakdowns.
Newsreel compilation - original title "Coming of the Auto".
A pretty basic history of the automobile, without the mention of Henry Ford (you know, so that they wouldn't mention any brand names that they werent supposed to). This short mixes some fascinating archival footage with obvius reenactments.

Editing by ROMANO-ARCHIVES.
