Today is a new day, an opportunity
to do something with yourself.

:36:05
If nothing else,
thank God for the sunshine...

:36:09
and for the fact
that you're not starving to death.

:36:11
Go out and do something with your hands.
I don't know.

:36:29
Flint is bedrock America.
:36:32
People here don't quit or give up.
:36:34
They know there've been many good times
in the past, and there's more...

:36:39
of good, productive time ahead.
:36:46
It was like I was reliving my childhood.
:36:49
First Anita,
and now "Mr. Chevrolet" himself.

:36:51
Pat Boone had arrived in Flint
just when we needed him.

:36:55
I look the same.
I liked you the moment I saw you.

:36:59
More people identified me
with Chevrolet...

:37:02
than any other sponsor,
and any other spokesman.

:37:05
Since my family was getting bigger,
we were having a baby a year...

:37:08
I needed a station wagon.
So each year I worked for Chevrolet...

:37:12
I had a Corvette
and a station wagon to use.

:37:15
That strengthened my feeling that this
was a great sponsor and a great product...

:37:19
which I could whole-heartedly endorse
on television, and did.

:37:23
Take a look at Chevrolet's '58 Corvette.
:37:27
What a beauty!
:37:29
I own and drive one of these myself.
I can vouch for them.

:37:32
The sweetest-handling baby
on the road today.

:37:35
Chevrolet's completely new in style.
It's the longest, too.

:37:41
Have you ever met Roger Smith,
the chairman of General Motors?

:37:44
I haven't. At least, I don't think I have.
:37:46
If I had, it would have been
before he was chairman...

:37:49
years ago, during my involvement.
I don't think we've met.

:37:52
So you don't know much about him?
:37:54
I don't know much about him. He seems
to be a very optimistic, can-do kind of guy.

:37:59
He's not a quitter.
