The cool thing about this film is, even though it's a GM film, it mentions (and shows) cars of the competition respectfully. Most "in-house" industrial films of this type NEVER do that.
@Green Mamba Games Yes,Those muskets changed the world by introducing interchangeable parts AND a "division of labor". But the Duryea is considered the first US "mass" produced car, They were pretty much hand built. Oddly It was Oldsmobile that introduced building cars on an assembly line. But I guess the writers didn't want to seem TOO pro GM lol.
@@jamesslick4790 mass production does not necessarily mean machine-production. What it really means is that a good is being produced at scale for sale or distribution to a wider market. Mass production isn't as new as many people think. The Romans were mass producing wine, olive oil, and iron/ steel thousands of years ago in quantities that wouldn't be seen again until the industrial revolution. It's just that, you know, they did it via brute force and slavery instead of mechanized factories. But even a lot of early industrial revolution production was not really very mechanized.
The bigger change happening then was the concept of "making a royal fuckton of something to bring costs down so you can sell to more people and make more money" along with the changes in how people made a living, assembly lines, interchangeable parts, etc... It represents more of a conceptual change in how to make things rather than exactly how it was done. Though mechanization _does_ tend to naturally lead people to start organizing their workers in an assembly line/ mass production system, since if you have a machine that's a thousand times faster than you could ever be up the line, then you had better get a lot of people on a tight schedule to keep the machines fed and to catch what comes flying out of it.
@@Kevin-jb2pv We're not in disagreement.
They neglected to mention the Ford Pinto while they featured the Vega.
@@johnstout5623 They also didn't mention lots of of other models even their own. That doesn't change my original comment.
The year is obviously wrong. Probably 1976, not 67 ?
There is a mid-70s Monza in the beginning, and the film ends with the show of '77 downsized line of GM cars.
I would agree, it looks like there is a 70's Cadillac Coupe DeVille at 0:25 or some other 70's box car
Definitely an early-mid 70s film because the narrator actually mentions 1970 and 1972 cars, and one of the crash test cars has 1973 marked on it.
it was uploaded in 2019 u horse ass
He also predicts electric fuel injection, which would be pretty impressive if it was 67.
Obviously 18:07 makes me sure it's not from 1967. The computers in 1967 were not quite as advanced ( at least according to what we know)
Was just perusing some car related videos here this afternoon and stumbled upon this....Imagine my surprise when at 16:40 there is my Uncle Stanley Anderson, full screen. He was an Engineer at the GM Technical Center in Warren, MI in Fuels and Lubricants for over 36 yrs, retiring in 1989. He loved his work there. He passed in 2008.
What a legend
No way, that must have been hell of a coincidence..🍷Salute!
There's just such an appeal to these older videos... As soon as this started, I knew that I'd be watching until the end.
I remember seeing this Film of Automotive Innovation in June of 1978.
Documentaries from this era are easier to understand, yet sound more mature. The narrator sounded like a real grown-up. You don't hear such delivery today. People now speak like teenagers.
Verdade, no brasil é igual.
14:57 this crane operator got me tilted
haha. I couldn't believe he let it hit that hard.
Пружины целы?
And dropped the car very “gently”
@@KobieK Wait.....what???? It barely even bounced. VERY skilled crane operator.
@@MusicSoundPlayer Looked maybe worse than it was.
This is honestly perfect timing after the CyberTruck release
What a joke that thing is, electric powered vehicles = loss of freedom. They are a means of control.
the cybertruck is one of the ugliest things i have veer had the displeasure of seeing
@@orange70383 Okay, boomer.
@@JakeobE That's not a boomer perspective. Boomers have typically overlooked the ways that their elite masters have injected more and more control into their lives, as long as they can be distracted by their fancy 'stuff.' Anyone who is reasonably informed knows that electric cars (and IoT/'smart devices' in general) are centralized control mechanisms. Governments and corporations have not hidden this fact. They're quite proud of it.
@@orange70383 yep
Instead of 1967, this film would have been made in perhaps 1978, based on the latest models shown toward the end. Still, a great chronology of the automobile's evolution.
That's a 1974 Cadillac Fleetwood @ 0:25. I think you people meant 1977 and not 1967.
wtf u mean "you people" ?? becauss im black ??
@@waynejohnson1304 u bout to make me hella irritated bro its a good idea u leave
@@lostpockets2227 I'm still here.
@@lostpockets2227 Calm down, you're making other black people look bad.
@@lostpockets2227 Stop making other black people look bad. Shame on you!!
My first car was a 1974 Datsun 710 it got 33 mpg.
It’s now 2022 cars are designed with computer’s and made with light weight plastic and aluminum and still only get 33 mpg.
With far fewer emissions. Efficiency and emissions are always a tradeoff.
omg those classic carsssss!!! ASMR to my eyes....
Pretty spot on predictions at the end there
The requirement for all American cars by law to only have round headlights was lifted in 1975, and the floodgate opened up in 1976 and after. Film was likely made in 1977 showing the at the time new Chevy Caprice or Impala.
I remember the manufacturers wanted freedom from round sealed beams so they could make low, aerodynamic front ends. Fast forward to today, where most of what they make has a front end similar to the broad side of a barn. Could easily incorporate sealed beams into these boxy and tall front ends.
1977, not 1967. The newly downsized 1977 "B" and "C" body cars are clearly shown at the end.
Super information
Cool info. Didn't know Buick moved the engine forward in '62.
18:07 Are you sure it's from 1967? The computers then look quite advanced.
1977 not 67, must be a "typo". 1977 cars are shown at the end.
This video wasn’t released in 1967. Some of the songs towards the end were released in the 70s. In fact in the bumper, he says 1973.
Um, and vehicles at the end are all 1977/78 models.
It would be interesting to see this updated to address what cars have become today: Mostly anonymous blobs that are more or less indistinguishable from each other. One brand follows another, all end up with the same "trends" to try and pull in buyers (Example: That black plastic trim that is featured on wheel arches and on most of the rest of the lower portions of cars). All bodies designed for minimum wind resistance, resulting in the "jelly bean" look, I wonder how many people would be willing to sacrifice an MPG or two for a car that had a little bit of character?
It was like that during the late 60s, just look at the muscle cars, alot of them look like each other
love this channel...who agrees??
Great details
1976 as shown by the square headlights at the end.
We've come full circle to the beginning now. Everyone wants the biggest land yacht SUV with 40 inch rims or a truck that's an aircraft carrier in the sky. Or a tesla. It's all jewelry. Status
love the GM Ford Chrysler & AMC concept cars and promo films from the 60s and 70s!!
Im guessing this came out in 1977 not 1967...
I think the date is off a little, that was a 75-76 Chevy Monza at the beginning and similar Oldsmobiles towards the end. Thanks for sharing.
The film is 1977 not 1967.
@@jamesslick4790 Bingo
Little did they know someone would break the design with a Cybertruck
The clown truck for those who want less freedom.
@@orange70383 what's with that 'less freedom'?
It's a goddamn truck.
@@Jan_372 Look into Tesla's terms and conditions. You don't even own the car, it's closer to a forever lease. Then there are the driver facing cameras, whos data you don't get to audit. IT's really a travesty of rights disembowelment under the guise of an ecologically friendly (and even that is in question) transport. In short, people would boastfully trade rights for gadgets, and they clearly deserve remedial civics classes instead.
@@outspokeninsider752 and why would people care about another camera in their face?
I think this footage belongs to 1979/1980, last car shown has body design of it.

13:30 Hudson's Motto was..."Step Down, to Step Up to a Hudson". Quite Clever.
This has to be, at the absolute earliest, 1976. At 16:45 and later, there is a Delta 88, Ninety Eight, Buick Riviera, and Chevy Caprice all from the 1977 model year. Since those cars debuted in September 1976, that is the earliest this film could have been produced.
16:16 Gotta love those "fuck dis" brakes.
He clearly said "Front Disk".
@@LionWithTheLamb Fun dusk?
The last cars shown being made were the 1977 Delta 88’s.
At 16:03 the narrator states "1970 found US automakers.....". The date of this production is clearly in the late 70s given there several early, mid, and a few late 70s production model, as well as mid 70s concept vehicles featured and talked about.
What a pretty cars from late 70s and relabel.
I also question the dates of this film as the car at the 17:29 mark looks like a Cadillac concept where the second generation Seville has that bustled back end for 1980.
An interesting history of the automobile though..
"I'm In Love with My Car" - Freddie Mercury.
Cars always looked good and featured diverse designs until now
At the 17:31 time mark ' You have an interesting concept correlation with the AMC AMX 3 Car . Prototype .
im upset they didn't mention chitty chitty bang bang
Shhh, It's secret what car companies have been hiding for decades, don't tell anyone
If this is from 1967 how are they showing production models from the mid 1970s?
At 18:44, defiantly a car from the '70's.
This was filmed in the 1970s.
OK genius....
What’s the name of the concept car @ 17:30?
Like everyone's saying this is DEF not 1967. That last car looked like a very late 70s possibly even a 1980...
I'm trying to wrap my head around the opening, they're showing a car from each decade but curiously decided to leave out the 1940's car and skip straight from the 1930's to the 1950's
Wish we were born in that era
this was filmed in 1976
1977 "worldwide increases in the use of energy will continue to make fuel efficiency and the conservation of all our natural resources our primary consideration in car design". And where are we today, half a century later ? Pointlessly heavy SUVs (plus pick up trucks in the US) in every corner of the world ! Obviously someone somewhere had a different perception of priorities ...
@18:08 Holy shit they had touchscreens?
He is using a "light pen". ALMOST the same principal as the "gun" used on an NES with "Duck Hunt". In reality a light pen can be MORE ACCURATE than a touchscreen! - And even though this film is from 1977 NOT 1967, Light pens have been a "thing" since the......1950s!
This film has the date of 1967 on it. That's nonsense. The narrator referenced 1970's cars and there were multiple examples of late 70's models within the video.
It's a typo,The film is obviously from 1977, not 67.
It was cool and all I just wanted more info on their future design inspirations... That was kinda just the last 60 seconds... Ah well! We all know how it turned it anyway... At least in this reality! ;-)
1977 probably seems like the 1800s to young people now. It looks old as hell!!!
Definatley not 1967, its late seventies. 1977 Oldsmobile 98 Regency at 19:00. My father had this same car in yellow.
Random thoughts:
I think Darwin would've enjoyed this film.
I wonder if there has ever been a model called Beagle?
Have a nice day!
☺
👌👌
That's a 1974 Monza at 0:43. Can't be a '67 film.
Mid 70's Cadillac Sedan @0:25 ...Titled 1967?
American auto makers after the 50s were world auto makers. Imports like japanese are top sellers in Amerika
This film is from 1977, not 1967.
SWEEEEEETTT 71 PONTIAC GTO JUDGE @16.50 455HO BABY
this certainly wasnt made in 1967 since thats a 1975 chevy monza in the first scene
I don’t think you dated this film correctly, as it mentions things that happened after 1967
The Changing Architecture Of The Automobile Body reflects The Changing Architecture Of Man's Mind
They consider mass production as making only 13 of something in a year?
*Based* documentary
love the ignorance to the european car industry and it's pivotal role in most the technological advancements
Unless you are talking Volvo, Euroboxes are just money pits versus US and Japanese cars.
@@jamesslick4790 I see you don't know that much about the European car industry.
@@47rintin1 Perhaps, But the European cars we get in the US in fact ARE money pits VS domestic and Japanese brands. If I were offered an Audi or a Lexus, Easy answer: Lexus. If I were offered a Volkswagen or a Ford, I'm taking the Ford.
When they dropped that Beetle on the dock I gasped out loud, what modern car wouldn't have structural damage after such a hit?
@@jamesslick4790 A indústria automobilística nacional brasileira acabou faz mais de 20 anos, agora aqui todas as montadoras são extrangeiras
That's a 1975 Monza in the opening seen.
Nice
I was 13 when that car came out and it looked so cool and futuristic! I think it was one of the first production cars to have rectangular headlights.
I was also wondering about it's rectangular head light , I thought it will makes market or not
The car was called the winged piss ant.
Steam powered car from 1769? HOLY SHIT
Yep but it wasn't really useful. It had a wood frame with no suspension, so it could only work on flat, well maintained roads and had a speed of like 5 mph. Here's a video of one being driven:

Mother in law seats lmao 😂
Now we have tesla truck, it's backwards or forward design of automobile?
Pra trás, tesla truck é muito feio
Have to wonder what was the thinking behind a 5mph bumper.
Gee bill, try to guess....bumper....5 MPH....guess, just guess.....
@@billiebobbienorton2556 Umm, could it be that the genius engineers at the car companies could not figure out how to make a bumper that works at normal driving speed?
15:06 Um, this isn't from 1967 16:05
2020/06/16
1:32 start for Mercedes benz
Those are 77' model GM cars near the end.
They're big but not that big!
Gee, our old LaSalle ran great, as those were the days.
This aint 67 my friend.........that 75 caddy and monza prove it
They show the 1977 "downsized" B and C bodies too. So l, yeah definitely not 1967.
Future echoes of the Olds Aurora at 17:29
Откуда столько рекламы ?((
1967 but hes talking about early 70s?
Times when things were making sense.
1967?!?!?! Hmmmmmmm
17:30
14:07 towards the bottom, those cars almost came to an accident
Tucker should of made it, Hudson if they had a V8 would of made it. Shame really...great cars
This was done in 76 NOT 67.
why do i feel like I've heard "mother-in-law seats" before?
Wonder why they ignore the electric cars of the 1880s?
They were briefly mentioned earlier in the film.
They also mentioned a car the used both gas and electric.
Of course they didn't call it a hybrid back then.

1976
RADICAL
Man, what the hell happened to auto styling in the 70s? Too much cocaine.
Um, this shows 1977/1978 GM models, so it can't be from 1967.
That tai end seams a crocodile´s fins...
This short film made in usa
1977 not 1967
Yeap 1976
It's from 1982
