I wasn't knocking it for blatantly plugging Dodge wherever possible. I just thought it was interesting and I wonder if it was indeed produced as an early infomercial.
When I was a teenager, I'd actually go to the airport and watch the free corporate PR movies that they showed in one of the lounges. Apparently back in the 60s at least, companies would make short movies about themselves, usually showing how their factory works, how their products are used, and of course why they're the best, and give them away as "educational". I'm not sure how they ended up with a lounge showing nothing but corporate PR movies day and night, but I was a geek and I liked them.
