Film Clip of the Day: America’s Safest Tire

Enjoy this great Fisk Tire promotional film from 1939. The set up is a Hollywood stuntman asked to run Fisk Safety-Flight tires on one side of the car, and some inferior brand on the other side, doing a wet spin-out test. Check out his personal Duesenberg roadster, which has some nice period modifications. I like to try and identify the year and make of the other cars for fun, like the 1939 Ford Deluxe Sedan. How about the fact that the “stuntman” has no seat belt and only a fedora for head protection…
