1977 Chevy Camaro dealership promotional film

This 1977 Chevrolet promotional film, titled " Camaro ", 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.

I have a 70 a 72 and a 73 Camaro I was foolish three times and sold them I really miss those cars they are beautiful beautiful cars

I was impressed when they cut the ignition wires, gapped them and the sparks still got through. I don’t know if they cheated, and cranked up the voltage much more than advertised.

I had the blue one in high school and loved it! I enjoyed the high-beam button on the floor. 😃

[@theemulsionalchemist5688]

that was pretty standard placement for high beam switches. if you think about it, they are safer on the floor. don't have to take your hands off the wheel

Oil filter replacement every 15000 miles.Nice.Must of weighed 20 pounds when changed

[@theemulsionalchemist5688]

I was working for Chevrolet when the electronic maintenance reminders were introduced. some would go more than 15K before the light would pop up. by 40k the engines were toast. We were replacing engines, or timing chains, cylinder heads, and camshafts under warranty. all got software updates
