Can’t see in the picture but had red brakes. Nice.
Great c. 1952 Film of Hot Rods at Bonneville Salt Flats
“Outlaw hotrodders become law-abiding gearheads after a community organizes supervised racing clubs and timing associations.” This is the beginning of American hot rodding. Wonderful film. See it at https://archive.org/embed/RoadRunn1952

Thanks to Chad for the correction. This is not a Ranchero, but a wagon. Thanks Chad.
Vintage TV Ads: 1957 Chevy Commercial Trucks, Renault Dauphine and 1959 Chevys
Great Chevy truck advertisement, plus you get to see Dinah Shore and Pat Boone pimp the 1959 Chevys. The Chevy truck ad is especially good. Archival footage at https://archive.org/embed/ClassicT1948_2
1958 Film of Drag Races, Great Variety of Cars
Fantastic vintage drag race film, showing Art Arfon’s Green Monster with an Allison V12 aircraft engine, making the highest speed of the meet at 170 mph. There is a two-engine dragster, and lots of others.
