Has anyone seen this? The King Rose Archives on YouTube are an amazing treasure trove - I could waste a weekend watching all this stuff.

Some great footage from inside the old Highland Park headquarters and Jefferson Avenue Assembly plant, as well as Trenton Engine.

We look back on this and laugh. It was really crappy stuff compared to now. But this was the renaissance of the American auto industry. Great video.

Thanks for sharing. And man, look at this, I've never noticed it before...

Yeah, I thought I had something but now it doesn't look so similar actually...

Thanks for posting this, it was really fun to watch. So much was done differently then, like all the dudes sitting at drafting tables designing a car with pencils.

I particularly enjoyed the narrator riding around on a cherry picker showing different parts of the gigantic engine model!
