For a small taste of this great DVD,
watch the preview below.
For almost an hour, this DVD sends
us back to the early days of hot rodding and is made for hot rod fans as you
get a behind the scenes look at how they prepare for and enter the 1958 Hot
Rod Nationals. This has some great vintage drag racing footage. In the next
segment, see how rivals come together to find other ways and places to get
their racing done. Great lake bed footage. The cars and drivers will take
you back in time and also shows how communities came together to provide a
venue for the hot rodders in a community. And who can resist a wonderful
inside look of how a modeling agency and the girls who model work. As a bonus, relive those great drive in days with some
vintage drive in ads and the
famous Lucky Strike commercial with the square dancing cigarettes. Here is a
brief look at each video.
The Girl on the Magazine Cover (1940)
Shows us how professional models (and new automobiles) are photographed.
This is a surprisingly excellent film made even better by a very tongue in
cheek narrator who shows up at the studio to find out how they make those
dames look so good in photographs. (Do Not Expect This To be Politically
Correct, After All This Is 1940.) We meet someone who may be the funniest
character in a Jam Handy film.
Ingenuity in Action (1958)
This is a great film made for hot rod fans. It does a great job of
explaining how to prepare and enter a car in a national event, the 1958 Hot
Rod Nationals. Awesome would not be to mild to describe this film. It's got
it all. Fun guys, beautiful cars, wonderful scenery and lots of drag strip
action. Listening to the roar of those American V8's is a beautiful sound to
behold, and something we don't seem to hear enough of anymore. What’s really
good, is the message that it takes team work, discipline and adherence to
the rules if you are going to earn the reward for a job well done.
Road Runners (1952)
Watch how outlaw hotrodders change to become law-abiding club members after
a community organizes supervised racing clubs and timing associations. The
star of the show is Mel, a hot-rodder who quickly conforms after another car
beats him in a street race. He then discovers how being part of the club can
not only be fun, but help him race even faster, leading him to the Santa Ana
drag strip and the Lake El Mirage timing trials. This video has some great
footage of the early strip and time trial action. Good views of homemade hot
rods. What we tend to forget today is that drag racing courses were
commonplace on the outskirts of American towns in the fifties. It was a way
to get teenagers off the streets and for landowners to earn some extra money
for land they weren’t using. It’s a shame this had to change.
Please note that the DVDs produced are done so with the
original film footage. We have deliberately left in all the slight
imperfections which adds to the nostalgia, charm and wonder of these vintage
DVDs.
