Automobile History and Drivers Education: 1930s to 1970s comes with the following films: Volume 1: Joy Ride Joy Ride - an Auto Theft (1976) This cautionary tale was aimed towards young, thrill-seeking teens. The exciting car chase at the end of the film may have glamorized joy-riding to students more than actually demonize it. If nothing else, the film reveals the primary perpetrator of auto thefts - bored, horny boys. The Party`s Over (1972) A 1970`s film about the importance of seatbelts.

Edith, a senior citizen, has the most experience, but tends to be too careful. Mr. Albert is a business man always in a rush. Rocky never thinks about what he is doing. The film simulates real-life potential accidents with this colorful cast of characters in a humorous way. Everybody makes mistakes, but Rocky causes the most trouble.

Volume 3: Masters Hands Master Hands (1936) Classic "capitalist realist" drama showing the manufacture of Chevrolets from foundry to finished vehicles. Though ostensibly a tribute to the "master hands" of the assembly line workers, it seems more of a paean to the designers of this impressive mass production system. Filmed in Flint, Michigan, just months before the United Auto Workers won union recognition with their famous sitdown strikes. Released the same year as two other films with which it shares similarities: MODERN TIMES and TRIUMPH OF THE WILL. Selected for the 1999 National Film Registry of "artistically, culturally, and socially significant" films.

The Triumph of America (1933) Auto manufacturing as an expression of America`s economic success. Volume 4: Signal 30 Signal 30 (1959) Legendary "shock" driving safety film featuring numerous scenes of mutilated cars and injured/dead people and a voiceover lacking in compassion.

Formations (1936) Defensive driving film explaining the importance of awareness of surrounding vehicles. Live & Let Live (1947) Set in a toy tabletop town, this film uses brightly colored model cars and trucks to demonstrate a range of driving safety scenarios. The number of near-misses and accidents would make for an extremely violent film if real vehicles and people were used, but the models keep the feeling of mayhem at a distance. When you are a Pedestrian (1948) Pedestrians and motorists share the responsibility for accident prevention. Filmed on the streets and sidewalks of Oakland, California, and on a tabletop with model cars and dolls representing pedestrians.

Drive Your Bike (1954) Slow-moving bicycle safety film shot in Glendale and Burbank, California by a family-owned film production company. Encourages boys and girls to "drive their bicycles" and prepare for becoming automobile drivers by learning to practice the "rules of the road."
