Re: Bitchin' Old Video: A Collection of 1936 Chevrolet Newsreels
There is no need to watch these in poor quality YouTube format.These films, and a LOT more like them are in the Prelinger Collection at Archive.org. They are in the public domain.

Most of the Chevrolet oriented films were made by the Jamison Handy Company, known as Jam Handy Films. The Prelinger archive is searchable, and if you search Handy you'll find a large collection of industrial films, sponsored by Chevrolet and others. Instructional films include, How suspension works, How a differential works, and etc. There is a huge selection of 30's, 40's and 50's automotive related ephemera.

Have a look, and you'll even find the Joie Chitwood show's advertising for the 1955 Chevrolet.
