bigmikevee Posted July 20, 2011 Share Posted July 20, 2011 Hey Greg, Wow, who even knew this kind of old footage existed, this is just so cool, now this is truly old school stock. Thanks for posting!! Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jantrix Posted July 20, 2011 Share Posted July 20, 2011 Wow. That was very cool. That's the kind of thing that gives those OSHA folks nightmares. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greg Myers Posted July 20, 2011 Author Share Posted July 20, 2011 That's what I was thinking, all those guys standing and moving next to the robots (?). Their efficiency was questionable also.One guy, one rivet ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scale-Master Posted July 20, 2011 Share Posted July 20, 2011 That was interesting, more advanced than I expected. And the quality of the film was very good too. Thanks for sharing that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charlie8575 Posted July 20, 2011 Share Posted July 20, 2011 What a neat video. One could tell from watching that video that those men took pride in what they were building. I wonder where we went wrong.... Charlie Larkin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WoodyRDC Posted July 20, 2011 Share Posted July 20, 2011 Having being a Supervisor at the Truck & Bus Plant here in Dayton, Ohio where the S10 Truck was originally built and then the Blazer I have spent many days in current era Assembly plants. Seeing this old footage was inspiring. The clean floors and teamwork were great. If you have never been in an ass,y plant it is well worth it to go to an open house some time. The cars looked like Fords but I think they were overseas cars. What were they????? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Junkman Posted July 20, 2011 Share Posted July 20, 2011 Superb footage! As it happens often nowadays, I only wish they would have left away this stupid wellness spa muzak which always makes me want to reach for a chainsaw. Hence I have to turn off the sound and watch it as a silent movie. Why can't they just leave the 'natural' sound? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greg Myers Posted July 22, 2011 Author Share Posted July 22, 2011 Can anyone identify the car ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slantasaurus Posted July 22, 2011 Share Posted July 22, 2011 I'm not 100% sure, but from what I can tell I think those are 36 Dodge/Plymouths being built. Independant front suspentions, paralel leaf springs, flathead inlile 6, sure seems like the mid 30's Mopar set up. The footage could be Lynch Road or Hamtramic factory.
