- This 1979 Chevrolet promotional film, titled " 1979 Chevy Vans and Sportvans ", was sent to the Chevrolet car dealerships to be used as an in-house Sales and customer training film. The film highlights technical aspects and features of the new model year. If you look up a different film I posted, titled "1974 Chevy Selling Monte Carlo ", you can see a rare glimpse of the film cartridge viewer that was used at the dealership where the customers and personnel were to view these films. The machine was made by Technicolor and called the " Chevrolet Mini Theater System "
This film came from my personal collection. This film was not downloaded from any website and is not reused content. This restoration is my work. The restoration process started with removing the super8 film from the Technicolor Cartridge. After removal the film was cleaned, repaired, and spooled onto a standard film reel. Next the scanning to digital process was performed on the Lasergraphics Scanstation motion picture film scanner in 2k resolution. This film was very red without almost no color left. The extensive color correction was performed in Davinci Resolve. Finally, the film was converted to MP4 format for uploading to RUclips.
Those G body vans were great! I had two of them, both 1975's. One a 1 ton cargo van and a 3/4 ton Beauville
I'd love to know more about technicolor cartridges. I've got a couple of old cartoons like Snoopy on a kiddie version of a super 8 cartridge of it like a viewmaster with a hand-crank to move it.
Unrelated to that, but i've seen a variant of this recently that was transferred from the laserdisc version, although it might have been a 1980 update. Its fascinating to see the way different technologies and formats can work together and be put out simultaneously.
The hand crank cartridges are totally different. They do work on the same principle of being a continuous loop cartridge though. Technicolor made the toy cartridges that could hold about a minute or so worth of film, then they made a home movie cartridge size that worked with a projector that held 3 to 4 minutes of regular 8 and super8 film. The idea was to simplify home movies. All the toy and home movies were silent.Then there was the commercial cartridge films. They were used for promotional and educational films along with many features for airline flights. There were all sound film both magnetic and optical track variations. There were other cartridge systems but none as widely used. As for the laserdisc’s. General Motors transitioned from film to laserdisc in 1980, with a couple years of overlap. I have many of these too. The quality of these were no better than VHS. Transferring laserdisc is easy, that’s why there are many more people doing it. I put a lot of time into trying to produce the best transfer and restorations possible. Unfortunately RUclips doesn’t see the value in what I do and doesn’t believe my efforts are worthy of being monetized. So it’s hard to devote the time needed. On average it take about 20 hours of work to transfer and restore a 10 minute film.

Chevy had a caravan? Wtf?
I didn’t know either
And all three had a vehicle called a Durango. Ford's Durango was a Fairmont based Ranchero replacement that they sold dozens of. Later Chevy used it as the name for their top trim package on their boxy S-10s. Finally Dodge picked up the name in the 90's for their SUV.
Some names like Suburban, Durango, and Caravan got around back in the day.
Back when a truck was heavy duty well made not the tin can crap they make now a days
they were made to be tough , chevy now advertises how luxurious they are
What tin? They’re plastic
I'd actually like a new full sized van built like the old Saturns and GM "Dustbuster" minivans. A strong steel spaceframe clothed with outer panels made out of that special plastic that was dent resistant and rustproof.
