10849 ...is apparently the 50's population shift to the suburbs. Which inspires this look at the equipment used to build those suburbs, brought to you by Ford's tractor and equipment division. The assembly line method of construction is explained, continually stressing how cheaply and quickly the homes were built. If you need stock footage of construction, or if you live in Levittown, this will be priceless. Also features a big fat construction worker named "Teeny".

NY is shown here, all done by the sponsor of this film Ford Tractors. Speed speed speed is the importance here, as the builders take home building to news highs in productivity and new lows in originality. All of this was supervised by a bunch of suspicious-looking porty italian folk, who continually smoke while nodding to whatever plans. Fairly interesting, but not spectacular. Was Levittown run by the Mob?

The film is pretty basic in that it shows how Ford tractors and other vehicles are used to build a small comunity in Delaware. Overall it's intresting if your into tractors or 50's style suberbia, but not for anyone else. Building Suburbia Karma Hawk 2005-03-25 10:53:51 2005-03-25 10:53:10 2 3 2.33
