First part of the video starts out with development testing of a handmade model.

Midway through production begins.

Very specific & in-depth coverage of automobile manufacturing.

I posted this one a month ago. For some reason there wasn't any interest in it. I thought it was a great video.

Cool video.

The process was surprisingly robotic already in 1970. Interesting to see that old tech that was cutting edge at the time like the tape controled lathe. Todays version would be a CNC I guess.

 Sorry Todd, I didn't remember seeing it so I posted it.

It is a great video....shows how much work and people are involved in building a car,not to mention

how computers were already making their mark in the auto industry.

Interesting video. I worked at Massey Ferguson Toronto in the computer room and we had 6 of those tape drives that had about 4 reals each for the production department. One day someone came into the computer room totally frustrated. It seems that they had some combines on the assembly line and the wheels had not been ordered. It would take about 6 hours to run through all of the tapes for the update.

Brought back memorys of working the midnight shift.
