Aye, it's closest to a 1949-1950 Mercury, but it has what looks like 1951 Mercury hood trim. The two characters in the driver's ed video, BTW, are based on Mike Judge's original concepts and designs for Beavis and Butthead. They were originally supposed to be 1950s juvenile delinquents. -- Last edit: 2009-08-14 21:14:04 |

In one of the new episodes, there is a photo of current Texas governor Rick Perry in a Post Office, so yes, it is in Texas. |

This film was one of several driver's education films made in the 1950s and 1960s as at the time, there were a number several fatal car accidents and a large majority of those killed in these accidents were young juveniles who had been racing each other and losing control as well as drivers speeding or have fail to observe the traffic signs. When the driver's education film were first made, they were bloody and gory as they showed footage taken by the highway patrol at the scene of these fatal accidents and had show the victims as they were in their wrecked vehicles. I watched one made by the Ohio State Highway Patrol in 1959 called "Signal 30" and it had shown some of the fatal accidents as signal 30 is the Ohio State Highway Patrol radio code for a fatal traffic accident. One of the fatal crashes was a car and a truck collision, the driver of the car had ignored a stop sign and had the vehicle ran over by a truck that was hauling cattle and flipped, the accident killed the driver of the truck and one of the kids of the driver of the car. Another one was a truck driver who had just started working for a trucking company, he was on his first run alone, heading to his home state when he lost control of his semi-trailer coming around a bend and crash into a creek, the driver was crushed to death in the cab by a load that he was carrying, a load of pipes weighing about 40,000 pounds, due to where the driver and the load was, it wasn't until 5:30 in the morning; about four hours after the accident occurred that the officers were able to extract the driver from the crumbled cab. And another of one the young lives cut short in by a fatal accident was a high school football star, he was speeding down a dirt country track at night when he lost control on a bend and wrapped the vehicle around a tree, he was crushed between the vehicle and the tree. -- Last edit: 2019-05-09 03:39:34 |
