Very neat Video of Oldsmoble / Lansing area circa 1968

I was goofing off online at work, looking for Oldsmobile stuff, and I came across this video of someone taping East Lansing and Lansing I would say 1968 judging by a couple Cutlass' and Toronados in the video. It goes blank around 9 mins, but its only for a few seconds, then shows them going thru downtown Lansing. Check out all the action going on at Oldsmobile back then too! Very cool to watch!! Enjoy!

Nice find Ryan!
Wierd not to see 496/Olds freeway not completed, but this was filmed before I was born. Good seeing plant 1 and it looks like the old adminstration building and the new standing at the same time?

Also catch the Toronado bodies being moved from Fisher to the Plant.

That's pretty cool.
How about that golden rocket on
the side of the building?
Man, that thing must have been 15 feet tall!
