My channel is dedicated to bringing back to life the obscure, informational, lost, and forgotten films of our past. As a lifelong collector of 8mm, 16mm, and 35mm film, I feel it is essential that I make my collection available for all to see and enjoy. Every film you see on my channel has come from my own personal collection. I only post films that are in public domain, and I own the actual prints. I never reuse any others content. Each film is professionally scanned, from there I restore them myself.
Film is art, film is history, film is image memories of life. But unfortunately, film doesn't last forever. As time takes its toll, the film stock deteriorates, or the images fade away to nothing. Through chemical treatments, restoration techniques, and proper storage, we can extend its life for many years but not indefinitely. The goal is to save the content digitally before is lost forever. Along with films, I will be adding my own tutorials on proper film preservation techniques.

1970's Star Trek U.S.S. ENTERPRISE MEGO Gift Toy Set Commercial , Full Version (Restored)
This film is a true gem. This is the full-length version of the 1970's U.S.S Enterprise toy gift set commercial. There are shorter versions and different commercials on the internet else ware, but not this one. I was lucky to find this on a roll of 1970's toy commercials given to me. Quite a bit of time and effort went into the restoration of this film. Hope all of you enjoy it as much as I do.
This film came from my personal collection. This film was not downloaded from any website and is not reused content. This restoration is my work. The restoration process started with cleaning, repairing, and spooling the original 16mm optical sound print. Next the scanning to digital process was performed on the Retro Scan motion picture film scanner in 2k resolution. This film was in good physical shape but had quite a bit of color fade. luckily there was no substantial scratches or damage. Excess film grain noise was removed and the images upscaled to 4k resolution utilizing Topaz AI software. Then extensive color correction was performed in Davinci Resolve. After multiple color correction passes, noise reduction passes, and image sharpening, the film was processed for dust and scratch removal in Neat Video. Overall, I think this one came out pretty nice.

Suzuki GS-1100 Dealership Promotional Sales Training Film T-S-C-C Spells Performance ( Restored )
When Indy cars started road racing again around 1980 first race was at Mid-Ohio. Fastest super v would have qualified on the 6th row of of the IndyCar grid. The race was shortly after Indy and some the cars where still set up for Indy. Some teams did know how to set up the car.
That 1967-era school bus chassis had survived far off into 1990!
Wow this is the closest of bill Hickman speaking fully!!!!
Cool pretty neat
Who ever hauled a 4x8 sheet of plywood? No mention of poor build quality and reliability.
1975 Fury was rebadged midsize car, Gran Fury was giant full size, in 80s it was used for what used to be compact size Diplomat
More sound deadening in the trunk Henry Hill & Tommy DeVito & Jimmy Conway would really appreciate that but not Billy Bats he wanted to be heard LOL
The Buick Apollo was the least popular just look around in that time period Novas every where followed by Ventura/Phoenix then the Omega the Buick version got 86ed first naturally
The Omega factor !
It was close to being a good car. Close, but no cigar.
3:03 What hapened to chevy, my 2021 Silverado the front suspension moves like the Ford with twin I beam. 45 yers later, Chevy's suspension is not what hye advertised in this commercial.
I’ll bet that 454 4bbl V8 would realty make that Malibu wagon scoot 😎
I like 70s motorcycles better than 70s cars anyway.
Our family had a 1971 Caprice; solid Chevy...😊😊😊
One of the nicest cars 🚗 ever made...❤🎉
If you notice All car companies use Airstream trailers obviously Airstream is the most aerodynamic and lightest weight travel trailer threw out it’s 80 year history first of all I would not use a “Car” or station wagon I go strate for the truck line pickups Trail dusters Broncos Suburbans Club Wagons ect, ect , I - H Travelalls
I ahve a 1973 LeMans Sport Coupe. It's a very smooth ride.
5:40 Andy Sipowic
LUV is an Isuzu, and the Ford was a Mazda.
I owned a 1972 Caprice coupe with the 454 and loaded with options. One of the best cars I have ever owned, I wish I still had it.
They were nice cars,the only drag is they had so many air pollution devices to clean up a carburated engine.The sad part was they cut into power,the added weight of bumper standards ,not to mention the smallest V-8 available was a 350,most owners of fullsise cars were lucky to average 12 miles to the gallon,and the Arab fuel crisis was just around the corner, adversely affecting people's opinion of eight cylinder fullsize cars.
7:15 What's all this about "extensive corrosion protection"? These damn things dissolved like a water soluable aspirin the first time a cloud passed over the sun lmao.
Say what you will,but I had a 73 Vega and that beast could go from 0-60 in 4.5 minutes!
Wow Vega was a really great car! Who knew!
"Mr. Spock disappears!"
Twin I beam was a superior design.
Another case of messed up government regulation. Just can't imagine all the complaints and hassles dealers went through trying to educate, then listening to complaints about the car not starting, almost got in an accident, missed a wedding, etc. Fortunately, this system was removed in years to come. Most of those cars had the system bypassed as well.
I’m sold, where do I buy?
It really was a shame. The Vega was kind of a fun car to drive. Too bad GM/chevy was so worried about saving nickels and dimes, they could have put steel sleeves in the cylinders. I'll never figure out why they chose to use an cast iron head....Dis similar metals and money wasted, someone said they were worried about the valve seals falling out of the aluminum head casting. It is hard to believe that any poor Vega actually received all that rust proofing bragged about in this video. All this penny pinching just opened the doors for japanese imports to take over.
The car America still wants to own, i have a 75 I'm restoring. Loved this video.
I'll take a Dodge lol
The Vega hatchback would be sold today as a Crossover/SUV and you pay $10k extra over the sedan/coupe.
i need a rear window from a 1973 caprice sport sedan ( no pillar) roof.. where to find and send to the Netherlands in a wooden box 28-06-24
I had a 77' with a 327 small block G.M. motor, racing cam. 4 barrel, dual exhaust and headers. Pozzy rear end and 3 speed hydromatic tranny.. Red on Red..
1976 planes looked more advanced & sophisticated than the automobiles on road.
Loved my 73.I put a Pontiac.455 big block in it .even with the stock gas saver 256 rear differential, I was never beat in the 1/4 mile with that car .
Pontiac went from the best looking 71 and 72 Lemans to the UGLIEST IN 1973.
Fords look better
Oh I want that red Brougham, that interior is so luxuriously expensive looking. Why can't they make cars like this still instead of all the junk we have now?
I'm not able to locate a local Oldsmobile dealer here in Mesa,AZ. I wonder what's my nearest dealer is.
Wish I could find the song that was used or made for this!
Bill Hickman now that guy was super cool & multi talented
Oldsmobile had a turbo car in 62.
What good did “computer-selected springs” do in those days?
My Grandma's Dart! Her's was Green and she lived rural so she needed a reliable car!
Geater Mercedes front like and i don't know what the rest of the car all about!!!!
Meu sonho
When the guy said- let's look at something big reminded me of my wife saying exactly that the only thing was I wasn't even at home when she said it lol
Chevy wins here
The F-150 351 M 400 was absolute junk.
