Dodge Sales Film 1930's John Hamilton

[@NEPatriot]

GREAT CAESAR'S GHOST!

[@daniellack3559]

Nice pickup..for those unaware, the purchaser played Perry White newspaper publisher on the Adventures of Superman on tv some 20 years later, and of course his famous saying was great caesars ghost...damn I am old :)

[@robstumpf]

Perry White!

[@zelphx]

"Hey Chief!!! Howz about a Studebaker", "I'm not buying a damn Studebaker... and don't call me chief!!!"

[@AstraWerke]

Alright, you got me convinced - sign me up, I'll buy one!

[@alanstrong55]

John Hamilton was plainly spoken. Dodge was a better car back then.

[@garyr7027]

Now car salesmen don't know crap about the cars they sell. All they know is how to do the paperwork.

[@operator91210]

Even that some don't know. Really getting tried of hearing salesman say "what would it take to get you into this car today?" How about building value not only in the car but also the establishment. Why should I buy from you?

[@garyr7027]

@@operator91210 LOL

[@noelroberts8199]

And pocket the commission.....

[@dave1956]

And rip us off. I would rather have a root canal than go through the car buying process. As a matter of fact I did that once. I told the salesman that I enjoyed the root canal more. He didn’t say anything.

[@stevenromano797]

What is REALLY funny, John Hamilton never learned to drive a car. Any time he was shown driving a car, the car was either towed or he had a double. Check out the Phantom episode of Superman.

[@pl5624]

Like he's talking to olsen

[@noelroberts8199]

Is that Jimmy?????

[@20alphabet]

Good upload!

[@ShannonFreng]

They never talked about the car's interior fit and finish, which was surprising.

[@joeysanguine3596]

Impeccable video🥰

[@jonathanmccool2871]

That’s a 1935 Dodge not ‘37.

[@Ian-of9oi]

Kept waiting for the kid to get a smack from his old man.

[@noelroberts8199]

Rambunctious kid, needs a paddle on the backside.....

[@trivet1970]

the Chicago worlds fair century of progress was held from 1933-1934 so this is likely 1935 showcasing the 1936 model.

[@bobstevens2958]

Salesman is ben Bradley of Washington post

[@noelroberts8199]

Are you sure, because Ben Bradlee of the Washington Post was born in 1921 and as this advertisment was made around 1935-6 that would mean that the actor playing the salesman would have been around 14 or 15 years old and that is truly not the case here..........

[@williamg2552]

Is that Perry White from the Superman TV Series ?

[@noelroberts8199]

Right On......

[@hidalgohouse3815]

Hey I never knew Lee Harvey Oswald was a child actor.

[@michaelgrant7530]

That's not Lee you maggot

[@pwrfl2357]

Is that a scat pack?

[@ShannonFreng]

?

[@gvi341984]

Chorus girls apartment? I don't understand that phrase. Movie stars used to start out from chorus lines that were run down

[@jonathanmorrisey5771]

That's what she meant. The interior was of horrible quality.

[@noelroberts8199]

That is the point, a chorus girls apartment most likely would be run down and not in very good condition, similar to a car with not as good apholstery as the Dodge......

[@zelphx]

After watching this, I concluded that that car was a damned deathtrap!

[@ShannonFreng]

How so?

[@Marckymarc71]

Looks like a 1936 model.

[@operator91210]

This is before major styling changes happened year to year. That trend began in 1955

[@ashleygordon3467]

Mr Hamilton is not a pleasant man - at home or in the showroom.

[@jonathanmorrisey5771]

The tapping the salesperson in the chest is a big no-no.

[@ShannonFreng]

The actors playing the parents seem too old, to have a son that young.

[@wadebarnett2542]

Why would anyone buy another brand of car? Dodge for the win! I'd want some seatbelts, plus maybe the air bags.

[@Brommear]

And then he proceeds to give baloney upon baloney...
