Enjoyable informational film on how to take a trip with the family in your car. I enjoyed the low keyed acting of Gail Storm and her real family,

So here's our chipper American Family going on their, "See the USA in your Chevrolet", cue cheesey and submissive housewife and classic manly husband, with their generic three boys. Packing up their chevy to go see America. But of course when the wife drives, she gets lost, and the father speeds. Overall, a good represenation of 50s America and a view of American famous sights. Look out for her line at the ending.

Gale Storm and family show us how to pack the car, keep the kids entertained, and how not to get lost (insert joke here) in this light frothy piece by Jam Dandy. Ms Storm and "the Lee Pernells" show us, in their brand new spotless Chevrolet of course, how to keep a spare key handy, which isn't something I'd go BRAGGING about. Soon enough, they arrive at le Grand Canyon, ready to enjoy 50's America. Reccomended!

And they take a trip (with no destination) without a map, having to ask a comic relief hayseed geezer for dye-rekk-chuns. The film's well shot. The stock music is appropriate. A narrator (who is familiar but I can't name him) offers helpful suggestions, like packing water and dried…
