Putting a V-8 in a Chevy was a very big deal, and Jam Handy knew it. One of the spots ends with "More than a new car, a new concept in low-cost motoring."
Popular as the tri-year Chevys are, it's rare to see them as crisp as they appear here. Very well photographed in color, it shows the same 4-5 cars over and over. In addition to the iconic Bel-Air convertible, there are lots of shots of the more modest trim lines and 4-door models, which are today seen less often than the showier cars.
BTW, don't miss the title cards, which look much like those of theatrical short subjects.
