A very interesting film from just before the plants were unionized. May have been around before, but I don't remember seeing it. Runs about 30 minutes:

Chevrolet Production Documentary - Mid 1930s

THE ENGINE PLANT PICTURES IN THE BEGINING ARE EARLIER BEAUSE THE BLOCKS DO NOT HAVE FULL LENGTH WATER JACKETS AND THE PISTONS DO NOT HAVE THE DARK TIN COATING THAT THEY HAD IN 1936 BUT THE ASSMBLY LINE PICURES ARE 1936 MODELS.
