GM should consider bring back designbs from the 50s but make it modern
-
Thanks so much for uploading these marvelous videos from the past!

@zedellbee It sounds like typical '50s stock music, but I suspect GM (which could afford it) commissioned someone to write it as the music fits together.
FTS is correct; Marvin Miller is the narrator. Very nice relaxing delivery on this one.

What can I say? Thanks to Youtube we get to see this sort of wonderful material. A real insight into the era of consumption in America. It is a propaganda film for desire and style and aspiration. Beautiful.

Wow, I am sure Bertoia, Eames and Noguchi, whose chairs and tables are used through out this film would love being called a stylist.
-
I agree to a certain extent, but at the same time I despise Eurotrash!

Does anyone know what the music backing all this is classed as? Desperately seeking a URL to something similar ... Not only is it worryingly relaxing, its MORE than ideal for my blog ...

I kind of wish the visionary designed look would come back. These design pioneers were so far ahead of the times. Wow, could you imagine leaping forward from 2008 to 2020 in design? We do not have enough designers whoi dare? I could be off, but it would be cool to leap ahead with another new level of designs.
