1958
GM marks its 50th anniversary with the year-long Golden Milestone celebration. The theme is "From the Progress of the Past - the Promise of the Future".
The first demonstration of an automatically guided automobile takes place at the GM Tech Center, introducing the possibility of a built-in guidance system for tomorrow's highways.
This year GM also sponsorize "American Look".The definitive Popoluxe film on 1950s automotive, industrial, interior and architectural design.
Although the 1958 Buicks keep last year's roof line and fins, there are new curves in the sheetmetal again this year. The 1958 Buicks almost pass for Oldsmobiles of the same year, equally sharing the same amount of afterghought chrome.
Buick production is a low 257,124 setting Buick in fifth place. Buicks are capturing the prestige market's attention as prices reache a high of $4,700, and strangely enough, a low of $2,900.
Debuting with the Ford Edsel, and being outlived by it, is Buick's air bag suspension. A fan belt driven compressor feeds air to a tank located between the frame horns. From there the compressed air is routed to each of the four air bags, which replaces the coil springs. Fortunately, this system is optional, front and rear, on this year's Buicks. In 1959 it will be optional on the rear only, then faded out of production.
Getting back to 1958, Buick offers a dual exhaust system with two resonators placed before and after each muffler.
1958 also marks the debut of Germany's four-cylinder Opel, which is to be sold through American Buick dealerships.
In January Ford's Mercury, Lincoln and Edsel divisions are joined to form M-E-L (Mercury-Edsel-Lincoln) Division.
This year Ford comes up with more "rocketry" in their concept cars: the DePaolo and the X-2000.
The first Toyotas and Datsuns are on sale in the US.

After the titles, the film just launches into our first tip.. Don't tailgate! Nice looking smashes of 1950's cars are shown. Luckily, this film has not a trace of blood in it. Other tips are shown, eg don't litter (which is hilariously shown here as the people are just hurling stuff from their cars, how to pass, and of course, this being a Sid Davis film, the encompassing fear of picking up hitchhikers! Well, ok.. as the narrator says, "It's not a wise act to pick up hitchhikers indiscriminately". SO PICK AND CHOOSE YOUR HITCHERS!

Your Safety First (1958)
Producer: John Sutherland
This John Sutherland cartoon from the late 1950's begins with newspaper headlines about space travel and tax cuts while Dad contemplates buying a new car on Oct. 5, 2000. Pampered Mom, computerized home, 4 hour work day, and cars that drive themselves. A comical pre-1960 history of the auto industry's "remarkable inventions" making cars better and safer so more and more could enjoy operating them follows. Too bad the flying cars didn't work out, but I'd settle for the 4 hour work day.

Stop Driving Us Crazy (1958)
Producer:: Roger Burgess
The basic plot line of this film, of a Martian observer making comments our driving habits, would be taken up again, and done better, in the Canadian National Film Board classic "Out Of This World!". What this film does have going for it is a great sound track by jazz legend Art Blakey and the weird late 50's minimalist animation style, reminiscant of Gene Deitch and Columbia Animation. The religious overtones, especially when coupled with the basic plot, just adds to the weirdness.

Prior to this 1958 broadcast, live TV shows were routinely preserved in monochrome either by film kinescope recording, or beginning in 1957, on black and white Video Tape. This is the first TV transmission recorded (and wonderfully preserved) using color Video Tape in the World! That happened in Wichita, Kansas, in October, 17, 1958. The show was an acclaimed Emmy award-winning NBC special, "An Evening with Fred Astaire", sponsored by Chrysler Corporation.
