This six-minute film starred Henry Austin Clark. Jr. and was shot at his Long Island Automotive Museum in Southampton, New York and throughout the village in 1956.
The film compares the "care-free" automobiles of 1956 with vintage automobiles. Can anyone identify the 1956 automobile with a stainless steel roof at the end of the film?
Enjoy,

The six Vanderbilt Cup Races held on Long Island from 1904 to 1910 were the greatest sporting events of their day, and the first international automobile road races held in the United States. The races had a far-reaching impact on the development of American automobiles and parkways. This site provides comprehensive information on the races, the Long Island Motor Parkway and current Long Island automotive events, car shows and news.
