[Healeys] 1936 Pontiac Production line

[R. Cobb]

Alas, I believe that production line is showing the manufacture of 1936 Chevrolets, not Pontiacs.  The grill, side hood trim, radiator ornament and bumper, among other external features, are key points of identification.

Not a big deal on a Healey list, but it would be on 30's GM product lists  :-)

I agree that the video is very interesting and I was surprised at the degree of automation of certain aspects of the production line.  An extremely dangerous place to work however, and note the lack of hearing protection!  No wonder many of our fathers/grandfathers suffered hearing loss by middle-age.

Very interesting, especially the final shot of the interior of the car.

Years ago, I bought an old speedometer at the Charlotte Autofair to use in
making myself a desk nameplate for my office at work.  I didn't know which
car the speedo came out of until the video showed the one in the '36 Pontiac
to be identical to mine.

Wonder how many '36 Pontiacs, that absorbed so much manpower during
manufacture, are still in existence?
