1973 Oldsmobile Trailering Dealership Sales Training Promotional Film ( Restored )

This 1973 Oldsmobile promotional film, titled " Hitch Up Move Out with Oldsmobile", was sent to the Oldsmobile car dealerships to be used as an in-house Sales and customer training film. This film was designed to inform the sales personnel and customers on proper vehicle to trailer fitment.

If you look up a different film I posted, titled "1974 Chevy Selling Monte Carlo ", you can see a rare glimpse of the film cartridge viewer that was used at the dealership where the customers and personnel were to view these films. The machine was made by Technicolor and called the " Chevrolet Mini Theater System "

This film came from my personal collection. This film was not downloaded from any website and is not reused content. This restoration is my work. The restoration process started with removing the super8 film from the Technicolor Cartridge. After removal the film was cleaned, repaired, and spooled onto a standard film reel. This film had many scratches and dust marks along with a fair amount of color fade. The scanning to digital process and basic color correction was performed on the Lasergraphics Scanstation motion picture film scanner system in 2k resolution. Excess film grain noise was removed, Image sharpening. and color correction was performed in multiple processes utilizing Neat Video and DiVinci Resolve. The next step excessive dust marks and scratches were removed with Neat Video. The film was then upscaled to 4K resolution utilizing Topaz AI software. In 4K, the final color restoration was performed with Davinci Resolve. Finally, the film was downscaled back to 2k for uploading to YouTube. As I work on these films, I try to improve the process as I go along. Thanks for watching.
