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.
:38:08
I knew you'd rather have a Buick.
See you later.

:38:14
Who's to blame
for what's happened in Flint?

:38:16
I don't think it's anybody's fault.
:38:19
In a free society,
in a capitalistic, democratic society...

:38:24
things do change.
There are shifts and trends.

:38:27
I'm sure General Motors
doesn't have any desire...

:38:31
to either close down a plant
or put people out of work.

:38:41
The key becomes the attitude.
:38:44
Folks wind up saying, ''It was
the best thing that happened to me...

:38:47
''when my job at the plant phased out.
I was only gonna go so far at the plant.

:38:51
''Now I've got my own business,
whatever it is.''

:38:55
It's maybe no accident...
:38:57
that the Amway business, for one,
is in aid of Michigan...
