Q: What are filmstrip videos?
A: Filmstrips are a series of still pictures (like slides) that are changed when given a audio signal, like a beep. They are coordinated to the audio on the record. This format was used from the 1930's until 1971 by AMC, when they upgraded to a Labelle cartridge system, which resembled dual 8-tracks, one atop the other.
Q: What are on the videos?
A: Filmstrip/record videos are transferred from our original Nash/Rambler/AMC filmstrip/record sets. These were sent to dealership salesmen and service personel for training. There are a multitude of interesting pictures of showrooms, used car lots, and many comparisons to other makes of cars. Also included are some mechanical segments, very helpful technical points for originality or restoration purposes.
Q: Do the videos have sound?
A: All the segments have sound except a 1948 one which contains printed text and did not have any audio. A few of the oldest original records have some static, filters have been used to enable higher sound quality. One 1969 AMC dealership film does not have any audio, it likely was raw footage shot for the company, but still is interesting to view.
Q: How are the videos made?
A: The original filmstrip projector, record player, video camera, and a transfer machine were all part of the transfer, with great care taken to ensure the best quality. VHS Videos are recorded at SP speed, with only high quality videotape used. DVD's have been upgraded to include video menus, enabling fast search and replay capability.
Q: I bought some videos from you previously, do you have any new material or upgrades?
A: We have spent many hours making every title of our collection available, almost every year has at least one new segment, some years have over 1 hour of previously unreleased material.
