There were two out right lies that they told their salesmen in this film. 1, it claimed they were the only full sized brand that offered two distinctive 2 door hardtop roof styles, that wasn't True, Ford and Plymouth both offered two different 2 door hardtop styles on the Galaxie and Fury. Additionally, it claimed that the locking steering wheel and transmission shifter anti theft device was exclusive to Chevy. That too wasn't true, it was a Federal Standard that was promulgated for 1969......boy, oh boy, such fibs!
The 69 and 70 fullsized chevies were very clean attractive cars. The exception being the awkward proportions of the custom coupe roofline. One unfortunate aspect of the 69 and 70 was the cheapening of the dashboard. This happened across all full and midsized GM cars in 69. Chromed metal was replaced with cheap flimsy plastic trim. It also created all kinds of electric glitches due to grounding issues related to the plastic bezels requiring ground straps and stripped plastic studs that loosened nuts. A shame because they were otherwise great models.
I sure love this training video!! wish my dad was still alive he'd love this !! parents bought a new 69 Belair ❤❤❤
Impala is one of the longest-running brands in Chevrolet history - the last Impala was the tenth-generation.
Most of the Bel Airs & Biscaynes had the 250 6cyl engines & three speed manual on them.
Love vintage promo materials like this - awesome cars and funny hairstyles
Some had the 427/425 with solid cam and rect. port heads and a 4 speed to, at least the 68 did.
Some Biscaynes, had the 427.
the 396 and 427, had a THM 400 three speed auto. the rest, had either Powerglide, or a THM 350 auto. tran.

😍❤💯👍
The only automatic on Chevy and Canadian Pontiac, should been a three speed.
Car and Track DESTROYED a 69 with 396 2 barrel, said performance was TERRIBLE and handling mentioning springs just as bad
