Yeah, that's Lake Shore Drive in Chicago (the first expressway in the "Windy City") ,at the beginning and end. I saw at :54 the back end of a 1949 Ford. Thanks for sharing!

We had decks of playing cards with the tire scene on them. We had a tenant in our basement who was credit manager at a tire store during the week and worked bridge tournaments on weekends so he had plenty of cards

In 1947 the typical worker made $0.48 (48 cents) per hour and gasoline was 23 cents per gallon.

Tires are STILL partially made by hand by experts. That is why they are expensive.

The 1940s: "Hey kids! Do you want to study world history or watch a promotional film on tire manufacture?" 1940s Kids: "The film!" 1940s dad at supper table: "So junior, you watched a film on tire manufacturing in school today?" 1940 kid: "Yeah dad, it was swell! I'm gonna put Federal tires on my flivver when I get one!" 1940s dad: "Good luck with that! I can't afford them on the family vehicle as they're quite expensive."

I'n sure things are different now, but when I went to school a couple hundred years ago, they didn't show us advertising films, even if they did cover the process used by pretty much everyone at the time. Instead they showed "educational films", made by some approved "educational film" company or by a university. In some cases it would have been the same as this, but with all of the advertising removed. In most cases it would have been much more poorly done, on a drastic budget. This would more likely have been something shown in the movie theater on Saturday, or as filler between the main features on a weekday. The theater would typically have been paid by a local tire dealer to show it, and his name and a picture of the front of his store would have been shown so you knew where to go buy thew tires.

Hard working Americans making a quality product in the good ol' USA - It was nice while it lasted. Also, notice how many of the workers were women because of the shortage of men due to the war.

Actually there were a bunch of primitive process control analog computers in use that you just didn't recognize. They used cams, levers, and air cylinders and the like instead of electricity and chips to do their thinking. Of course the sliderule shown at about 3:10 was the standard computing device of the day.

I became tired watching this, so I rolled away to use some spare time working on inflating my income to give me more traction in the marketplace where the rubber hits the road with the potential of a real blowout at the end of the transactions.

Were Federal tires considered special back then? Nowadays they tend to be a discount brand from southeast Asia. 3:52 Back in 2003 or 2004, BMW held a special test drive event in Oldsmar, Florida. They put plastic tarps down and covered them with soapy water. Everybody had to get sideways on it before they could road test a BMW. I think they had that test because most BMWs are rear wheel drive, and most cars still on the roads were front wheel drive. As a result, many people might not know what oversteer is like. It wasn't a problem for me because EUROBEAT INTESNIFIES!

Federal tire was probably bought out by some Chinese conglomerate.
