(November 9, 2018) Automobile advertising has certainly evolved over the years as dramatically pointed out by this 1936 Ford movie clip that depicts beautiful tree-lined English scenery and what presumedly are Ford vehicles equipped with Ford V8 engines.
Singer Gordon Little with a backing orchestra sings about the "Rhythm of the Road" — over the hills and dale, speeding along a rolling highway, the world flashes by, you feel so happy, free as a bird on wing.
One interesting scene includes five happy people packed into a Ford convertible getting passed by a speeding car on a narrow gravel road.
More interesting is the only reference to Ford in the entire three-minute film is its V8 logo flashing by at the end. Strangely there is no sales message — even briefly — urging viewers to visit their local Ford dealership.
