“A Car Is Born” is a 1972 Ford Motor Company promotional film that shows how the modern automotive assembly line produces a precision machine. It contains shots of 1972 Mach 1 Mustangs and Torinos as well as designs (shown in clay model form) for the 1974 Mustang II.
The film begins with a literal bang - a massive explosion of earth followed by scenes from construction sites and factories. Molten metal drips from containers while the scenes are interspersed with clips of car owners explaining what they look for in an automobile. “Where does a customer’s new car begin?,” asks the narrator at mark 02:26. “It begins in the minds of people - our first resource.” It also begins in auto manufacturer’s scientific research laboratories - with a montage of scenes flashing on the screen as the narrator explains how those settings serve as “gateway to the unknown” - as well as in factories and through the use of machines. We learn of the electrocoat paint process as a car is shown being dipped into a solution at mark 04:32, as well as an experimental “powered paint process.” A discussion of safety protocols soon follows with scenes of a salvage yard mixed with cars in factories being smashed in the interest of safety. Yet is is “people who make the system work,” says the narrator at mark 06:18, and we see a variety of scenes of factory workers going about their daily routines. Performance and design are always key areas of improvement in Ford automobiles, the narrator explains come mark 07:55, with engineers always taking customer concerns into consideration when designing and redesigning their product. The film takes its viewer into the design center at mark 08:28 to see the idea in action, from seats to AM radios to electric windows. Design and engineering draw closer together by mark 12:52 as a new vehicle is shown being constructed using both machine-made and man-made parts. There are scenes from test tracks and a series of manufacturing images. We watch as the vehicles rolls down an assembly line until at mark 24:52 as “the car has come to life.”
Motion picture films don't last forever; many have already been lost or destroyed. For almost two decades, we've worked to collect, scan and preserve the world as it was captured on 35mm, 16mm and 8mm movies -- including home movies, industrial films, and other non-fiction. If you have endangered films you'd like to have scanned, or wish to donate celluloid to Periscope Film so that we can share them with the world, we'd love to hear from you.

My dad started here in 72. Im proud of him retiring finally in 2008
It's actually a Late 1972 Video if you date all the cars and look at all the clay Models. It is NOT a 1960's Video. There are a bunch of 1972 Mach 1 Mustangs on one of the factory lots.. Some of the Clay Models at the Design Studio were 1974 Mustang II's in Clay Molds. This makes sense since Ford was usually two years ahead at the Ford Design Studio. It IS a Late 1972 dated Film. :o) Tony K. MCA#70001.
This should be retitled, as it's definitely not the 1960's. The newest cars on the roadways here are 1972 model year. The clay and first edition (in creation) cars are 1973 models. The time of the filming must be 1972.
Um. I think I saw this when I was in elementary school in the 70s. We had Movie Day on Friday's. They showed these promotional films a good bit. Always loved these types of educational films.
Hello from Russia, i learning on automechanic. In college.
I saw this film back in 1981 in high school aouto shop
Ford is still in business
A great tribute to the American industrial era.
It was a great time idiots let it go
"So broad it will be possible to stand beside the final assembly line 8 hours a day for a year, and never see two exactly alike" Say that today.
Back when cars were mostly ordered and purchased, You got a LOT more variety. Today most people lease whatever is in stock. This leads to "mass market" (read that as BORING) sameness in paint,trim and interiors.
@@jamesslick4790 yep. Nothing but shittyass black and grey cordura interiors, absolutely boring af
you are smart are you not so smart wow what kind of car did you make?
Back when they actually built cars that people wanted instead of the garbage they offer today
Ford crown vic
Ford taurus
They tested everything but michigan salt the biggest threat hahahaha 13:26
Pretty amazing... see that guy spraying enamel without a respirator? Jeez.
My father worked and retired from the Ford plant in St paul minnesota started mid 1960s. Told me his finger got attached to a seat frame by means of a metal ring to hold the fabric to the seat frame ...said he had to walk with the seat until someone cut the ring ...I work at ford today... be a massive safety investigation in that issue...
Yes because we have too many lawyers
you are full of crap i would say
So he hog ringed his finger to the seat! Pneumatic hog ring guns will get ya!
like a lady, the correct shape is paramount to sales..we are visual customer primarily.If it looks good, it must be good is the phycology.
I like some old fords and all the rest,older car's!!!!!!!!!!!
This has to be early 70s, no 60s. I see my old 72 LTD/Galaxie and airbag testing.
Your right Tom' i was looking to see my '65 T bird(i just bought) but i guess not.
I'm thinking 1972 based upon the Mustangs in the lot near the end of the film.
2 thumbs up
13:43, today's kids would think this was a drift dream machine!
I love these old car films have you got any ford Capri or vw Beetle films just thought I'd ask 🙂👍🏻
Those engineers were told to engineer the shit to fall apart in 3 yrs back then !
My 74' LTD is still rippin' it up well in the 21st century!
In 1978 Ford recalled more cars than it sold. Heckuva job!
Ford is the only manufacturer that didn't take Obama bailout money.
Richard K , and GM and Chrysler just rolled crap out without caring about making them right!!
Richard K this is over a decade before that era

actually it's fomoco of the early 70s
5:51 Airbag!
Look at the shit that Toyota made in those days ( all rusted away)
License plate at 14:02 shows 1972
Those are 72 Torinos this is not the sixties. Besides people in the sixties needed a 428 cobra jet not a cage with an airbag.
Bauxite sunk the Edmond Fitzgerald, right?
the shutters were not close in the storm
This video is hilarious given Ford would go on to market unsafe-at-any-speed vehicles like the Pinto, Bronco II, first-gen Explorer, Crown Victoria. . .
Was very surprised to see a couple of black people in this film. The 60s still wasn't exactly equal.
Safety.And then came the Ford Pinto !
MrSebfrench76. The Pinto was Lee Iacocca's idea.
CIRCA 1973, Maybe 1974. No Way 1960's.
Michael H. 1972.
I agree with Rothe: 1972 based on the door handles, dashboards and tail lights in the Galaxies and LTDs.
Definitely 1972. Job 1 was a 1973 LTD
you are rigth, there are 1972 and 1973 Galaxie, I have restoring already my ´72 4 door
looks like it was made in the early 1970s, no 5 mph bumbers on the cars
22;08 3 ford police vehicles in that shot.
Ford spelled backward is driver returned on foot !
2:56 creepy scifi hororr
They produced rust buckets. I’m driving a 15 year old Honda that still runs and looks fine. These cars from the video would have lasted less than five years
22:00 No breathing masks in that paintroom----those poor people probably have cancer now
I had a 63 Galaxie back in the day oh what a car I busted 6 gals out in the back seat and then one night I got really really hammer up and hit run 3 park cars and oh I got away..
Did you see all those idiot lights on the dashboard of that Ford LTD? After 10 miles or so, more than half of the light bulbs that illuminate those idiot lights will burn out. So when an engine or electric problem comes up, the idiot lights won't light up and warn you that you've got real serious problems with your car.
Did anybody tell these car builders to make a car that doesn't stop running on a nice and sunny day? Did anyone tell these auto engineers to build a car that doesn't have multiple recalls on them before and right after you buy them?
Doesn't the auto company engineers ask if customers want vehicles that don't start rusting as it goes down the assembly line?
Car companies make their vehicles cheaper and cheaper but charge multiple thousands of dollars for crap on 4 wheels 🛞. A car is born and dies in your driveway or on the street in front of your house.
