watching todays future predictions for 2070 and thinking „ugh who‘d wanna live like this?“ - remember this is how they must have felt in the 1960s watching this. Those predicting people always seem to be just too sure about future developments, but they forget that we‘ll be humans after all and enjoy familiar things prior to clumsy robots, industrialised fastcooking microwave food, sterile looking interior design and actually really impractical technical „assistance“ like those massive controlboards and computers where the homeoffice and homeschooling really provokes critiques like being too socially isolated whereas todays usual setup with videocalls, internet and online gaming is even more social than these predictions

Seems like an ad for CATs competition and them throwing their hands in the air! 🙂 They certainly ended up doing that for a road truck engine market where they couldn't be bother with meeting emissions targets and left it to the competition.

Who doesn't remember Tang, Space Food Sticks, and the Fisher Space Pen?

When you are just about to connect to the trailer you must connect the wire going to the lights and the wire going to the air ride before you take off

At 21:26, it sounds like Charlie Brown-style music.

Damn someone has sleep apnea 😂 also if one of my brothers or sisters at the station sounded like this they’re sleeping on the gurney downstairs bruh 😂🤦🏽‍♂️💀

When you could actually order a car, and not settle for the limited choices the manufacturer now offers, and which now comes from a larger market dealership instead of the manufacturing plants. Today, choice is illusion and at that, limited.

Great old video! My dad drove for Norwalk & also Denver Chicago way back then.

I worked 6 years in this... Never truly understood what I was doing until I watched this film

Walked passed this every morning, on Miller Rd, to High School

That didn’t sound like a gas engine when Tom fired it up at the fuel island, if it was a diesel engine Tom wouldn’t be getting too far!!

One thing I am surprised they didn't show was shelling corn out of the cribs in the spring. I started working on a dairy/sheep farm farm in the 80s. We had a Gehl Brothers two row self propelled chopper we used to open the corn fields up. We did the rest of the chopping with a New Holland two row behind a 2590 Case. We had a 20×60 silo to fill, plus a large wooden corn crib and several wire cribs. We used two New Idea pickers. One had a sheller on it. We filled the cribs and ground the ear corn out for the cows. Then we shelled the rest with the pickers sheller. We stored the shelled corn in the chopper wagons, hay wagons lined with plywood and all our gravity wagons. That corn was fed to the sheep. The one thing about sheep we didn't have to grind their feed. If we needed a field opened that we weren't able to do at the time we filled silo, we had a neighbor who would open the fields for us with a picker mounted on a Farmall M.

one day I hope to be like these people

I wish Walter Cronkite could’ve seen this video again and gave an interview in the mid 2000s since he still lived 9 years into the 21st century

That is the way a child should be brought up! No demonic internet. No public school indoctrination. No radical left idiocy!

Fidel Vive!❤

Walter was not buying the inflatable furniture.

Tom is always on time on nose candy and smokin dope 😮

Mile long weight of 30 ton ! Roll of steel

So so so sad what happened later with the Indians. How did it turn so badly after?

raw materials in one end... Finished automobiles out the other. Amazing.

Ro-butts 0:52

Back when most products were 'Made In America'...😢

If only the telephones looked as simple as that

Gotta love those Fords!

I think that’s where Ford produced the Wagon Queen Family Truckster.

Where is this type of training available now?

We used to live in Dubuque, Iowa.

Being a Former Volunteer Firefighter, I learned the basics of firefighting at the age of 20, and as an Explorer Scout at age of 18.

I’m 49, have no interest in mathematics, don’t know why I clicked. I can’t believe what just happened, this was almost magical. I love the guy, I love the math and I just learned something. Not only that but purchased one. Subscribed. Wow I hope your content is full of more goodies.

Watching them paint with no respirator is insane.

Ahhh yes, What the world would look like with functioning antitrust laws.

@12:00 holy cow................ talk about a toxic work environment!

Very cool movie. I lived less than 7 miles from this plant in Dearborn. You could see the smoke stacks on a clear day. My father bought a new 1968 four door Thunderbird. I remember the day he brought it home. I can remember seeing acres of new cars in the storage lots between Rotunda Dr and Oakwood Blvd behind Stout Jr. High. Most of the time it was Mustangs in those lots. It was a great place to grow up in the 1960’s. So much of all my old neighborhood has changed in Dearborn. I have many fond memories living in Dearborn.

How many caught that Lincoln suicide 4 door town car in the beginning ?? those open auto racks are a thing of the past they went away in the early 70s

Tom would be very disappointed these days

Moral of the story: when towns become dependent on corporations they lose! At the end of the day the business (in this case the steel mill) is there to make money (turn a profit) the minute they start to lose money or find ways to make more of it, they will leave that city and in its wake are thousands of families left to wonder what's next? A great example of this is what happened to GM once they left towns like Flint, Michigan in the 80's and the same fate happened to them just like what happened to Youngstown.

I think this is older than '71.

Wow, the long defunct E 5. !!

Loved the black & 🎉white helmets, ,& the Mack engines. ( Photographed A FD, for NFPA.

I remember, those ticker- tape bells !

Now truck drivers doing do own stuff and don’t wear uniforms look like captain uniforms

Back in time so peaceful.

Been around big trucks for 66 of my 85 years, I run most days and load and unload trailers in northern Minnesota. Home nights. Drive a 2017 KW , 515 hp 13 apps governing at 65 . I am sent to load pipe line equipment, wood stoves from Intl Falls, conastoga, flats, steps and vans . Flatbedding in my blood it’s an old man’s world !

He mentioned stereo systems and computers, but it mentioned that everything will be all in one big phone the stereo system your phone communication Internet is all in the phone now it’s amazing. The phone is a computer in your pocket.
