TodFitch Posted April 23, 2013 Report Posted April 23, 2013 Fairly typical Chrysler product promo film of the era. Earliest I've seen Jimmy Lynch featured was 32 or 33 so it looks like he was doing this gig for Chrysler for at least 10 years. Quote
Desotodav Posted April 23, 2013 Report Posted April 23, 2013 What a great old clip. I sure feel sorry for that poor old Dodge that he has totaled though - didn't it take a pounding! Quote
Robin (UK) Posted April 23, 2013 Report Posted April 23, 2013 Jimmie Lynch was still performing in the early 50s... http://hotrodsandjalopies.blogspot.co.uk/2010/09/jimmie-lynchs-death-dodgers-were-at-cle.html Quote
frankieflathead Posted April 23, 2013 Report Posted April 23, 2013 He sure beat on that poor old thing like it was a rented mule, and a '42 to boot! I gonna go right out and try that stair climbing stunt with my D24! Quote
52dodge Posted April 23, 2013 Author Report Posted April 23, 2013 that thing did take a pounding lol,the stair trick looked cool Quote
desoto1939 Posted April 23, 2013 Report Posted April 23, 2013 ANd we all hate to take our cars out in bad weather. These old gals sure can take a licking and keep on ticking as the old Times commercial would say. I loke the ride over the railroad beams and how the suspension reacted. Did another notice that the doors stillopened and closed after all of his stunts. Chrysler engineering at its best. Rich Hartung Quote

First normal scheduled broadcast black and white analog TV format in the US, which could be viewed with a any "modern" TV up until they turned off analog a couple years back, was in April of 1939 coinciding with the NY Worlds Fair. According to Wikipedia, the BBC had some sort of scheduled TV broadcast as early as 1936 but it was suspended in 1939 as they worried that the Germans would use the signal for homing in on London.

rtlsnakedaddy Posted May 4, 2013 Report Posted May 4, 2013 Great short. I love the old commercials. Although I think there were a few of those cars used for the filming. On the jump sequences you can see the front end smashed in and bumpers and bits flying off. Quote
