Made in 1956, when the idea of a coast to coast interstate highway system was just getting started.

A family trip in 1976.


Remember the family sing-along on long trips? gasoline turbine drive? in-car snacks? automatic traffic control? (and ... cigars!)

LOL Love it. "Mind if I smoke a cigar (in this confined little bubble)?" And the music is so period perfect. Still, I'd like to have that car!
At the end, there were others. Did you see this one? Hilarious: https://youtu.be/aBiD1l4B7r4
 
Yup it's exactly like that. Particularly love the pre digested food.
 
Amazing how when Dad started to sing, he sounded just like Bing Crosby. So did the tower man! That "Slot Car" set they videoed for the interchange scene was pretty cool! Fun video.
