16mm Original Jam Handy Lab PrintTRANSPORTATION UNLIMITED (1949)Produced by Jam Handy for the Chevrolet Division of General MotorsOK... we found another one in the vaults... Here is some awesome automobile advertising offered up for bid...  Produced in 1949 by the Jam Handy Organization for Chevrolet Motors, "Transportation Unlimited" shows how Chevy trucks are serving in various roles.  The film proudly points to the American system of transportation as the best in... the world, and shows how the components of the system -- air, water, land -- are all linked by trucks. In 1949 one in every three of these trucks was a Chevrolet. This film contains excellent footage of Chevrolet trucks from the mid-1930s to 1949, carrying out more than fifty specific tasks. Dozens of different models of Chevrolet trucks and buses are show doing everything from hauling huge logs from the forest to transporting children to school. The phrase "Transportation Unlimited" was also used as the moniker for General Motors's first post-World War II auto show, the precursor to its traveling Motorama exhibitions. The "Transportation Unlimited" event was staged first in New York City and again three months later in Detroit. Transportation Unlimited grew from interest within GM’s executive ranks to preview the company’s newest innovations to consumers in order to gauge public interest. The exhibition drew hundreds of thousands more visitors in Detroit and the total audience for both the New York and Detroit shows exceeded 600, 000. The total cost for Transportation Unlimited was more than $1.6 million, a significant sum back in 1949....A slice of time gone by, never to return again....Not many of these EVER turn up very often... so good luck and happy bidding...This would make an EXCELLENT addition to any film fan's collection...This is NOT a dupe... it's the bonafide ORIGINAL print...About the print: b/w sound film print.... about 15 minutes long... NOT on a reel or core... just the film itself rolled up... NO vinegar smell and is NOT nitrate!Condition: great...  The film runs beautifully... This print contains some minor random flashes at various times...  incredible BOOMING sound... sold AS-IS!!!!
