Momentary opening scene shows a modern building on a rugged dirt road in low mountainous terrain. Two new Ford cars are passing in front of the building and , in the background, three more are traveling rapidly downhill on the dirt road towards the building. Several persons are standing in front of the building, watching the cars speed past. (Note: Because it is only about one frame, this scene is visible only in the first still photo accompanying this video.) Next, a man is seen riding a burro along the roadside, as the three cars coming downhill approach him. The scene shifts to a 1932 Ford Roadster climbing the dirt road now running uphill along the side of a mountain. It is followed closely by a sedan.

The 1946 Golden Jubilee Parade celebrating the auto industry, in Detroit Michigan. A large crowd of approximately 750 thousand people watches from sidelines as antique automobiles drive past in the parade, along Woodward Avenue. The parade features a wide variety of antique and classic cars dating from as far back as the 19th century. Several jeeps carry persons, standing, who seem to be supervising the event. On a couple of occasions, cars stall and drivers must get out and hand crank them to restart, or push to get them running again. Some occupants are in costumes dating to the time of their cars.
