1975 Plymouth Gran Fury Dealership Sales Training Promotional Film ( Restored )

This 1975 Plymouth promotional film, titled " 1975 Plymouth Gran Fury ", was sent to Plymouth car dealerships to be used as an in-house Sales personal training film. Sales Personnel were to show the film to potential buyers prior to the test drive. The film highlights technical aspects and features of the new model year.
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 Kodak Model B Movie Film Cartridge. The film came printed on magnetic sound Eastman film stock. 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. Excess film grain noise was removed, and extensive color restoration performed using 3 separate processes in DaVinci Resolve software. An additional processing for dust and scratch removal was performed utilizing NeatVideo. Then the film was upscaled into 4K resolution utilizing Topaz AI software. In 4K, the images were sharpened, and additional detail correction was performed. Then a final color restoration and image stabilization process was performed in DaVinci Resolve. Finally, the film was downscaled back to 2k for uploading to KZbin. As I work on these films, I try to improve the process as I go along. Note the audio track was altered due to copywrite content. Thanks for watching.

Awesome video, thanks for the effort. Love these vintage dealership promotionals. Shame the copyright trolls are destroying access to the original music.

I never knew Plymouth was using automatic level control at that time. I always assumed this feature was solely reserved for luxury cars. Was it an air system?

3:20: They're reliable. Has any Chrysler product ever been that reliable? Didn't Chrysler products of the 1970s mark a low point for reliability?

[@SpockvsMcCoy]

Sales of full-size cars for model year 1975 were generally weak..but disastrous for Chrysler Corp. Relatively few of the 1975 Gran Fury were manufactured.

My dad drove Chrysler products in the 1960's. They were well-built and reliable then. I'm wanting to think around 1969 (late 1968) with the introduction of the fuselage styled cars, quality, build reputation, and reliability started to falter, and this continued, worsening through the 1970's, 1980's, and beyond.

I have a 1977 gran fury police car with 140k original miles, the 400 engine and transmission have never been apart and it runs and drives great. It's worn out and rusty but it fires up and drives off at a touch of the key. I've got an 81 also, it's got 175k on the original running gear and I take it on road trips all the time. The police versions were definitely built to last

[@martinliehs2513]

@@TactaGhoul As I understand it, the powertrains themselves (engine mechanicals and TorqueFlite transmissions) were bomb-proof. Engine and fuel controls ("Lean-Burn" Spark Control, and the notorious EFI system on the 1981-83 Imperial) were the achilles heel. Body and trim fit and finish were mediocre in the 70s, and rust-proofing almost non-existent. It's a shame, because I remember the "Extra Care in Engineering" tagline of the early to mid '70s when I was a kid.
