Automobile Parade (1900)
*** (out of 4)
Edison film, which shows up just what the title suggests. The film was made on November 4, 1899 in downtown Manhattan. From what I've read this was the very first automobile parade so on that note this is very much worth watching. I'm really not too smart when it comes to cars but there are at least ten different models on display here with some appearing to be steam powered with others being electrical. I'm sure a bigger expert could give you the exact models but it was a lot of fun seeing them. I'm not sure if it was the print quality but there appears to be a snow storm going on.
