Over the Waves-Chevrolet Suspension
“Over the Waves-Chevrolet Suspension” was a 1938 commercial by U.S Auto Industry. The narrator describes the car model with unique specifications. The narrator explains how the wheels of the car models would be designed in a way that the owner would not feel the bumps. From the commercial, the narrator elaborates more about the tires and how they can be made to make the cars comfortable and prone to accidents. The commercial suggests that the car will be the best in history in terms of comfortability. Generally, the commercial explains the essence of the comfortable car inventions and the reasons why the customers would purchase from the Chevrolet Company.
In my point of view, the commercial is one of the best I have come across related to cars. The narrator uses a simple language that everybody can understand. The commercial inspires me by the way the specifications are unique and it was 1938 by then. This means that the engineers in the past were eager to invent new things to help solve some of the world’s problems. The narrator also applies the engineering terminologies to explain how the new model with the new cars will work. The commercial does not use a lot of graphics and does not apply high technology but the message is driven effectively. From the knowledge obtained from the commercial, the tires technology can be used to make the model that would help reduce bumps. The wheels would be made in a way that would have an allowance that makes them move freely in the bumps. Strong spring would also be applied so that the passengers would not feel it when there are bumps. The wheels would also be made flexible such that they can move freely in all the directions. With those specifications, it would be able to make it comfortable.
Today, the engineers are trying to come up with similar cars as they are explained by the commercial. An example of the modern vehicle suspension is the Prado V8 by Toyota Motor Company. The model can switch the wheels in different directions. It is comfortable that one does not feel the bumps. The advantage of Prado V8 over the Chevy Suspension 1938 is that it has the advanced wheels which do not go bad easily. The passengers sit are also unique that even when you pass through the bumps you cannot feel them. It has also been made using modern technology and machines. Unlike Chevy Suspension 1938, Prado V8 is operated automatically. It also has a higher speed compared to the Chevy 1938. Generally, the Prado V8 is better than Chevy 1938 because of the improved technology of today compared to 1938.
From the commercial, it can be concluded that engineers started working hard for a long time ago. The traditional commercials were also better than modern commercials. The narrator has used simple language that everybody can understand. The commercial also does not use high technology hence convincing the audience. The narrator explains every aspect of the modifications effectively using the engineering terminologies. Generally, it can be concluded that we are yet to have the new inventions because the ones we see today are the updates of the past ones.
