Ahhhh! It's been so long since I've seen a Chevrolet Jam Handy film! And this one's a good one, as we see how the bodies of the Chevrolets are made! Fascinating machine after machine are shown pressing steel, fitting steel and finishing steel. The workers seem less then enthralled at all these wonders.. Ahhh, who cares? At the end, we get a rollover test, just to prove how SAFE these cars are! Yes! I'm convinced! (Even though, you know, the roof is somewhat crunched up, and so would your head due to lack of seat belts) Highly reccomended!
