1975 Chevy 4wd Trucks and Blazer Sales Training Promotional Film

This 1975 Chevrolet promotional film, titled " 1975 Chevy four-wheel Drive, Lasting Value ", was sent to the Chevrolet car dealerships to be used as an in-house Sales and customer training film. The film highlights technical aspects and features of the new model year. If you look up a different film I posted, titled "1974 Chevy Selling Monte Carlo ", you can see a rare glimpse of the film cartridge viewer that was used at the dealership where the customers and personnel were to view these films. The machine was made by Technicolor and called the " Chevrolet Mini Theater System "
This film came from my personal collection. This film was not downloaded from any website and is not reused content. This restoration is my work. The restoration process started with removing the super8 film from the Technicolor Cartridge. After removal the film was cleaned, repaired, and spooled onto a standard film reel. Next the scanning to digital process was performed on the Lasergraphics Scanstation motion picture film scanner in 2k resolution. This film was very red without almost no color left. The extensive color correction was performed in Davinci Resolve. Finally, the film was converted to MP4 format for uploading to KZbin.

Dad had a '74. 400ci small block, auto and two wheel drive. Slapped on a "heavy half" kit. Hauled everything from kids to feed. Doubled as jungle gym and play fort. We kept it until the body fell off the frame, and still got trade in value just for the scrap.

400s were excellent

Dad had a 78 K5 which was the last year with the full removable top with a lift, large tires, lockers, and KC roof lights. We had a summer house in the Catskills on a old logging road up a mountain pass. Not paved, rutted and tons of snow and mud in weather. Remember being a young kid in the early 80's and my dad just bouncing up the pass, Steely Dan and Genesis always in the tape deck :) We never got stuck or felt in trouble. A fantastic capable truck. Best part was we lived in NYC, so after a trip my dad would need to street park this giant rig still full of mud in a sea of cars. He did not was it right away, as it was a mark of the journey he said.

nice story, sounds like watching brought back some fond memories.

[@jamesthompson8008]

Agreed, then the suburban was the people mover. I remember when my parents bought one new in '77, they were hard to find back then, was a common step from a station wagon.

One day I will get my 79 K5 back together. It’s got full time hubs too.

Back when the only people buying 4WD pickup trucks were people who were actually going to use them as 4WD pickup trucks instead of basically a sedan.

[@flight2k5]

Does it hurt your little feelings that people do that?

March 14th 2024, and I just bought a 74 Suburban K20 4x4! However, there was one thing about the truck I have never seen on a 67 through 95 Chevy truck before. I have an all working, factory dealer installed winch right under the front bumper. The winch is a Hinkley sidewinder and is in perfect condition!

I drive a c 20... Still going... toughest truck I have ever owned...Ran better than my new Toyota Tacoma... Tows...twice than it can... It gets 10 no matter what... Never buy a Toyota... My Tacoma got 7 miles to the gallon towing.... My old Chevy got 10... And it pulled better up the hills .. never struggled....They knew how to build trucks...

The only reason I got into extended cab pickup trucks was no one was building true full-size Personal luxury coupes no more

It's too bad those Chevy square bodies rusted so badly. They were good looking trucks. My uncle bought a 1974 C20 brand new. Within about 8 years it had considerable rust.

[@marshalmagooo3899]

Same here. Grandfather had a 74 C10 and it was toast by 82

[@vinnieravioli4653]

just out of curiosity, where do you get all these old tapes??

[@theemulsionalchemist5688]

these are not video tape but actual movie film. the dealerships would get a set of these each year when the new models were released. they are in super8 format with optical sound. they came inside a continuous loop cartridge made by technicolor and only could be played on special machines. in order to post them I have to remove them from the cartridges and put them on film reels, then have them scanned too digital. the films can't be played on a normal super8 projector due to most only have magnetic sound. then the scans require a lot of work on color correction since they have lost about 90% and are basically red and white. there are always plenty of these up for sale on eBay but most people don't want to spend the time or money to restore them. search Technicolor dealership cartridge

And 48 years from now, there won't be a single video on it or anyone who cares, as it will have been in the junkyard in 2038 due to unobtainable Chinese parts. Meanwhile, there are still 1975 vehicles on the road today.
