BIRTH OF A CHEVY -- 1936

MEMORIES

My first car was a 36 Chevy coupe just like the one shown except it was a rumble seat and no windows in the roof behind the doors.  I bought it in 1946 for 300 dollars. Kept it until 1951 .I also bought a 41 Buick 4dr in 1949 and had both cars at the same time. Memories sure are great    

Looks familiar

This is really worth watching, for the time period.  We could probably sell a Gazillion of them today.

1936 Chevrolet Assembly Line

This is really neat to watch how they put these cars together in 1936. Keep in mind, this film was made in 1936 !!! This is an amazing video !! 1936 Chevrolet Assembly Line. This is really awesome footage. A 1936 Chevrolet assembly factory. Note the automation that was already in place, the workers lack of any and all modern safety equipment, glasses and helmets, and they ALL know exactly what to do and its getting done. Check their sizes, you can tell it requires labor. Note also that when the body comes together with, the chassis that it is in FULL trim, Interior, windshield, all glass etc. is already in, place as it is dropped onto the awaiting rolling chassis,"AMAZING".Simplicity at its best. Note that while the metal finishers are checking the sheet metal for minute and tiny flaws, and defects that they are wearing heavy leather work gloves? How would YOU like the repetitious job of placing 3 rivets, in the 3 holes on the chassis for about 35 to 40 years? Click here: Fascinating 1936 Footage Of Car Assembly Line [VIDEO]
