1955 Chevrolet Screen Ads

19558 min 47 sec59 shots

This compilation of ten short theatrical advertisements promotes the Chevrolet line as the “new Motoramic Chevrolet.” Sedans, coupes, and a convertible appear in studio displays and on tree-lined roads, while brief situations involving travel, a first date, and welcoming a guest connect the cars with comfort and social pride.

Each advertisement repeats a similar set of selling points: “show car” styling, greater interior room and visibility, a smoother suspension, anti-dive braking control, and a choice of transmissions. The film also describes a Turbo-Fire V8, two Blue-Flame six-cylinder engines, 43 interior designs, a curved windshield, and increased glass area. Together, the ads invite viewers to test-drive or buy a Chevrolet as a stylish, economical, and substantially redesigned car.
