1930fordpickup Posted August 13, 2014 Author Posted August 13, 2014 (edited) Still plays for me. This is from a facebook post from Hot Rod. Does that make a difference ? Do you have to like them on on facebook to watch video? Edited August 13, 2014 by 1930fordpickup
1930fordpickup Posted August 13, 2014 Author Posted August 13, 2014 (edited) Plays with sound for me Harry. Do you have your speakers on? Sorry had to ask. Edited August 13, 2014 by 1930fordpickup
Harry P. Posted August 13, 2014 Posted August 13, 2014 Plays with sound for me Harry. Do you have your speakers on? Sorry had to ask. Yep, speakers on. I spend a lot of time on YouTube watching/listening to music and movies and stuff... but for some reason no sound on this video. The video plays just fine, but for me it's a "silent movie."
1930fordpickup Posted August 13, 2014 Author Posted August 13, 2014 I wonder if you can find it on youtube. This video silent is no fun. I like the clothes the people are wearing and the fact the painters are not wearing a mask!

I like the clothes the people are wearing and the fact the painters are not wearing a mask! Mask, schmask! That was in the days when men were still men and women still wore skirts!
DynoMight Posted August 13, 2014 Posted August 13, 2014 OK, I'm confused. Still silent. Is your youtube volume on? That might be it.
Harry P. Posted August 13, 2014 Posted August 13, 2014 When I click on the video, the volume is turned up to max. Silent.
Harry P. Posted August 13, 2014 Posted August 13, 2014 Ok... I went to YouTube and clicked on the video directly. The commercial that plays first... sound is fine. The video itself... silent. It's not my computer, because the sound on the commercial was fine. Are you guys seeing this video with sound?
1930fordpickup Posted August 13, 2014 Author Posted August 13, 2014 Mask, schmask! That was in the days when men were still men and women still wore skirts! LOL Harry. my grandfather was smoking his pipe (on the line, his nickname was little smokey) at the Hydromatic plant in Toledo in those days.

Deano Posted August 14, 2014 Posted August 14, 2014 Using Firefox, here. Downloaded the video; sound is fine.
Ace-Garageguy Posted August 16, 2014 Posted August 16, 2014 Cool video. Thanks. PS. Sound works with Chrome. I've had youboob no-sound issues sometimes with F-fox.
unclescott58 Posted August 16, 2014 Posted August 16, 2014 (edited) Notice when they do show the clay model, it's mainly the '59 Buick. The Buick design proposal is the one General Motors based their new B and C body cars for '59 on. All share the common Buick front doors. Once the basic Buick body was agreed upon, all other divisions designed their front and rear clips to fit this design. For cost savings all '59 GM cars shared the same bodies. In 1958, Chevy and Pontiac shared the A body. Oldsmobile and the small Buicks were based on the B body. The big Buicks and Cadillacs, the C body. For '59, the A body was dropped. And the C became basically a stretched B body. Fleetwood 75s were built on a so called D body. As in the past, this was basically a modified C body. This saved General Motors a lot of money. The 60's changed all of this again, as other size cars, requiring other bodies came on line. But, for 1959, there was basically one GM body that year. Scott Edited August 19, 2014 by unclescott58
kingiguana Posted August 16, 2014 Posted August 16, 2014 Ive got picture and sound. Yes, the lack of masks really surprised me. Cool video.
Ace-Garageguy Posted August 16, 2014 Posted August 16, 2014 I thought I knew old cars and engineering, but I had no idea that so much hand work still went into U.S. cars in the late 1950s. The interior cut / sew line really surprised me, as did the extent of jigs and fixtures assembled and dis-assembled around the structural units, and the human dimension-checking of the glass openings. Absolutely fascinating.
carrucha Posted August 17, 2014 Posted August 17, 2014 Pretty cool video. Thanks for sharing. They did not give the painters any safety equipment. I can't imagine painting cars all day with no respirator.
Harry P. Posted August 17, 2014 Posted August 17, 2014 I tried several different uploads of this video on Chrome. The commercial (before the video) sound is fine, the video itself–silent. Weird.
