Chevrolet Presents: The Trip

Admittedly, there isn’t a whole lot about a 1940 Chevrolet that relates to traditional hot rods or customs. They weren’t beautiful cars by any means and they certainly weren’t strong platforms for speed dwelling either. That said, I love this video. I was a young student at the University of Oklahoma when I stumbled upon it while browsing the archives of the campus library. I really don’t know much about the source other than what was written in the “media notes” of the footage:

First color motion picture for Chevrolet – 1940. Produced in technicolor and shown during intermissions around the country.
