Nice seeing our cars when they were new!

here are a couple of videos taken from 1940s home color movies that bring the 40s cars back to the present like I haven't seen, not even in movies:  You've got to see the booty in the billboard ad.

I like this one with Jimmie Lynch putting some Dodges (more than one used to make the clip) through some paces that I would not :eek:

Thanks, Don for that excellent video on Fluid Drive!  but I don't think my 48 DeSoto has that fluid oil cooler and lines.  Mine is sealed tight.  As for the that other video,  I'm not surprised that even owners don't know how their semi-automatic transmissions work, or what the difference is between just Fluid Drive as in a 41-48 Dodge and Prestomatic semi-automatic with fluid drive!  Also thanks for the Jimmy Lynch link.  What an incredible driver!!!
