CHEVROLET 1955 150, 210 & BEL AIR PROMOTIONAL FILM "GREAT NEWS" GM PROVING GROUND 64804

The Chevrolet Dealer film Great News, produced by Jam Handy Productions, gives viewers a look at the new 1955 Chevrolet. The “news” is reported by Robert Trout, who talks about the new design of the 1955 Chevy (the 150, 210, and Bel Air). A 1955 Chevrolet is shown at the General Motors Proving Ground (00:58). Graphics are used to show the new frame and other new features of the car, including the outrigger rear suspension—a car drives along the rough Belgian block road to demonstrate the suspension (02:20; 03:05). A woman drives the Bel Air convertible model (04:04). There is a shot of the hood air intake (05:05) as well as the climate controls in the car. A convertible Bel Air races along a racetrack (06:04). The film then shows the Turbo-fire V8 engine (06:14), the New Blue-flame 136 (06:27), and the New Blue-flame 123 engine, each on display with a 360-degree view. There are shots of the dashboard of the car before the film concludes with a montage of shots of 1955 Chevrolets driving on tracks and rural roads.
