Originally released in 1951, "American Harvest" was designed to promote Chevrolet's corporate citizenship rather than any specific model of automobile. The film shows how important auto manufacturing and use are to the American economy while simultaneously showing the effects of the automobile upon the American landscape. John Forsythe's narration is accompanied by images of automobile manufacturing, the extraction and processing of raw materials including oil from the earth, and mid-1950s consumerism.
This story is the life story of America production. Somewhere with someone on the job everything we have is started.

The greatest time to be an American
Watching this and similar films here send me back to a classroom after lunch hour… I can even hear the projector running in that darkened classroom as we watched. 😊
American Harvest was the first of a series of 5 films and their updated versions, dealing with how great America was, and the jobs we had and manufacturing. Very up beat films made in Technicolor by Jam Handy Films for Chevrolet.
Neat film. The narrator is a bit slow, but it’s better than how so many of today’s narrators speed read their copy. Dig those factory workers-no robots to replace actual jobs.
I remember that tune on our old black and white set...see the U.S.A. in a Chevrolet.
People really don’t appreciate the sheer scale of the economy. You buy a small trinket in Connecticut. And your paying the manufacturer who pays the producer, who pays their guys who go out and buy their own trinkets and things.
That was fantastic.
Even today I think there are people...mostly young people,..who think they can have the nice cars, fine clothes, beautiful homes, computers, big flat screen TV's without someone mining, farming and manufacturing those products or the components IN those products. Too many people today live in something akin to a bubble and have no idea where all the stuff they THINK they can not live without actually comes from.
Similar films, echoing American pride and know how- while subtly promoting Chevrolet- were produced by Jam Handy through the 1960's.
What we once were and had, before everything was outsourced to Peking, or Somalia.
Yep...and Mexico, China, Japan.
Hell yeah
IN 1946 after WW2 America 🇺🇸 went back 2 work ,working 24/7 putting America back 2 work and on its feet again making new cars ,trucks, tractors and anything else that was needed 2 get job done and the work alot of people hadn't had new cars trucks tractors in years back then everything went 4 the war effort 😊😊 OMG 7 28 2O23
heavy sigh........................
FINE AS FINE COULD EVER BE FINE
cars didn't connect us, they forced roads down to keep us apart. So frustrated that people are fooled by the industry
The result of the American Harvest? An overpriced, flimsy, declining asset that will end up in a junkyard before much more than a decade is out, but not before draining the savings of the owner, or perhaps putting him in a hospital or graveyard.
Agree! One more vote for public transportation,
@@thomasgilson6206😂😂😂😂😂
Extreme disapproval for cutting down those redwoods. Those trees took hundreds of years to grow.
Trees that have been around since the dinosaurs. And extincted by humans in hardly any time at all.
Runaway greed. Just gotta, gotta, gotta have that own personal slice of the greediness pie! And live... The Good Life... even as greed has killed the USA.
This is most illogical.
"Making a living"... while creating death.
I dunno... Isn't that an oxymoron or something?
@@satanofficial3902 Did you reply twice to your own comment?
Pretty easy to preach greed in hindsight. I certainly don't like to see the felling of those old redwoods either, but it took the trials of yesteryear to get to where we are today. We've got a long way to go but we're slowly figuring it out, and unless you live in a cave nibbling on grass you can thank the so-called "greedy" people of times gone by for the amazing lives we live today.
The dinosaurs has only been gone a hundred years wow I was told millions.
The average logevity of a redwood tree is about 2,000 years. I think dinosaurs have been gone a lot longer than that, there are still lots of old redwoods arounf. Most old growth trees that were cut down had disease or rot, so they were cut down before they came down on their own, and while they were still useful. Redwods grow at about 10 feet a year, so some big redwoods will be around for a long time.
if I knew it was a video showcasing the CHANNEL NAME AND A BIG COUNTDOWN TIMER instead of the clckbait ...I mean thumbnail I wouldnt have clcked ..👎👎👎🤮🤮🤮🤮maybe next time you could make it bigger so it blocks more of the c l i c k b a i t ( vid ) you want people to watch
Your head must be shaped like the letter U.
Here's the issue: Tens of thousands of films similar to this one have been lost forever -- destroyed -- and many others are at risk. Our company preserves these precious bits of history one film at a time. How do we afford to do that? By selling them as stock footage to documentary filmmakers and broadcasters. If we did not have a counter, we could not afford to post films like these online, and no films would be preserved. It's that simple. So we ask you to bear with the watermark and timecodes.
In the past we tried many different systems including placing our timer at the bottom corner of our videos. What happened? Unscrupulous RUclips users downloaded our vids, blew them up so the timer was not visible, and re-posted them as their own content! We had to use content control to have the videos removed and shut down these channels. It's hard enough work preserving these films and posting them, without having to spend precious time dealing with policing thievery -- and not what we devoted ourselves to do.
