Default 1959 Chevrolet Design & Build Fisher Body

The Fisher Body design and build of the 1959 Chevrolet from the large scale clay models to the finished product. If it hasn't been posted here before or it is a truly remarkable video if you're not doing anything for the next 30 minutes! Check it out!

Very interesting, thanks for posting! One thing I think about after seeing the video is all those good paying jobs at Fisher Body that have gone away, replaced by computer design and automated manufacturing processes.

Great look into the past. A side note about the people working shown in the video - the majority appeared to be physically fit. Amazing what 60 years of comfort has done to us as a whole. That fitness is not the norm anymore.
