One of the many promotional films for General Motors made by the Jam Handy Organization, MILLIONS OF MASTERPIECES shows the design and assembly process behind the Chevrolet cars of the 1950s. It starts with an historical overview of design in the form of the illumination of books, and then the development of the printing press, as an example of how technology can make things more efficient and produce "millions of masterpieces" just like an auto assembly line and mass production make great cars inexpensive.
