It was a hold over from British imperial measurement..same as archaic inches/feet. The film company Pathé is a French based company and those films were international. So they would have asked him to put the weight in imperial measurement.
The secret service used the car whenever FDR came to Chicago. I've seen it, it's been restored and I think the armor plating has been removed but I could be wrong about that.

You mean to say al Capone was the first to have a stereo system installed in a car…. Legendary
The doors weigh 10 stone . I’ve never heard an American use stones as a measure of weight before .....

@@mxferroI still use inches feet and Fahrenheit

I wonder if some of those children in the film are still alive after 80 years. My Dad was only three years old in this year.
Yep true pro, I wander if they are still alive?! in 2021.
Maybe 1 or 2 are. I hope so anyway
My mother was 4 years old in 1933. She is still alive as I type this in February of 2023.
No
1:05 ah the sound of a steam engine blowing its whistle in the background
That tin hood cover as seen from the beginning was a major weak spot.
amazing footage.
That car must've been a terrifying sight at the time.
This was the basis for the "Albany Roosevelt" car Rockstar Games added for grand Theft Auto V.
Yup
They didn’t do a bad job with that car
and the Whiskey Ghost from Scarface: The World is Yours
This car is on display at Wiskey Pete's Casino in Primm Nevada, alongside with the real Bonnie and Clyde death car!
Look at the engine…smash crash. Cars worth millions today
Lemme show you the engine.
*Carelessly throws the hood over on a rare car*
Isn't this on a loop at Lakeland Motor Museum?
BRITISH PATH"E....A WELL SOURCE OF TIMELESS FLIMED INFORMATION....PRESENTATION SHOW,S THE THINKING AND WEALTH OF SCARFACE.....

What was Capone's car doing in Southend, Essex, 1933? Interesting !
Is that Charlie Chapman in the crown try to blend in?? Lol
1:54 is that guy on the right holding a gun
Sí, 😶wow! ..Será un policía, por seguridad?
Where is this car now?
Just saw this colourised on "America in colour" on the Smithsonian channel. Fantastic.
What? Not in HD?? Pffff
Ya, I expected 1080p on a 1933 short film too.
@2006 IKR BRO! And like WHYD THEY LIKE OMG PUT A FILTER ON IT? uggggghghheheherrrr
Classic film history of Capone car
I forgot the USA used the metric system for a little but I wonder why we stoped
Lol. No we didn't. US signed treaty to use metric, but never fully converted to it...being the backwards nation that it is.
Shotgun shots to the tyres and to hell will the car go.
That’s wasn’t allowed at the time
Cool car
Capone has a siren f@(&’in legend!
why did they all sound like that till about 1970? the way they spoke i mean? "you seeeeee meeehhh?"
Because obvious reasons. This is one of many accents, this one is more south leaning. Virginia.
Funny. FDR used the car during the war because frankly the US had nothing like it.
wow didnt know that!
As opposed to..? Other countries that had this???
Great car ideal for EV conversion today!!!
