Short film: The best of American design, circa 1958

By Rain Noe - November 13, 2009

in Object Culture

This short film, sponsored by Chevrolet back in 1958, was made "In appreciation of the stylists of America, who work in lines, forms and textures and colors to give to us beauty, charm and elegance in the conveniences, comforts and necessities of our daily living." Called "American Look," it highlights the best automotive, industrial, interior and architectural design that 1958 had to offer.

Part 1 is about eight minutes long; it's a Friday, so you can probably squeeze this in if the boss isn't right behind you. Enjoy! (If the boss takes a long lunch, here's Part II and Part III.)
