"The most glamorous plastic of all" is a phrase I didn't ever expect to hear.

Plexiglass came into its own during the pandemic.

Plexiglass warning label for the poison shelf is an impressive touch

It's really adorable how the narrator speaks with such pride about "modern" technology! We should remember, that people will be looking back on us as primitive and backwards.
(If we survive.)

The 1959 Impala (cat eye) design video was fascinating. One of the most lovely vintage cars in my opinion.

They used to show us films like this in elementary and junior high school back in the 60s, GE, Dupont, IBM, HP, Etc...

Wow the future looks great! I can't wait!

By 1980, much of this futuristic "Populuxe" design... seemed hopelessly out-of-date. But at least it was bold, confident and optimistic... not generic or boring.

This is amazing for the usual reasons, but also for the showcase of the Sage computer, one of the first to have a display screen. That is incalculably important to computer history, and IMMENSELY interesting.

1959 Impala was a strangely beautiful automobile

[analogidc]

I was always impressed with the people who can form and make a full size car out of clay. I guess that's a lost art in today's auto styling.

I love how it's just casually expected that you are going to keep poisons in your cosmetics cabinet.

I own a beautiful 16mm IB Tech print of “American Look”. This, along side “Magic Highway USA”, and my John Sutherland films, are my favorite films I own.

If your entire house was plexiglass, you could just turn the hose on it to clean it.

*Monorail! Monorail! Monorail!*
(But it's more of a Shelbyville idea.)

[grimandproper]

I never realized I was missing so much Plexiglass in my life.

[williamscoggin]

Plexiglass, plexiglass, the modern home will be filled with it, well that didn't age too well. LOL 😂

[maxi-me]

Take a drink every time you hear the word _plexiglass_

Just watched a bad old 70s movie set in and about a fictional supersonic passenger service. Similar to the Airport disaster movies. SST: Death Flight. "On its maiden flight, the crew of America's first supersonic transport learns that it may not be able to land, due to an act of sabotage and a deadly flu on-board."

Ah, the slumber wing, I look forward to it!
