Followed a link to this fascinating video on U-Tube. (Apologies if you have already seen it).

Historic home made film of the 148th Ordnance Motor Vehicle Assembly Company that was a part of WWII. They assembled trucks for the Redball Express.

I've seen that footage and it really is a good documentary of the assembly lines used to put TUP shipped CCKWs together.

 

Can anyone colorize it? Or enhance it to clean up some of the haze/blur?

 

I know its 70+ year old film... but its probably the best footage of CCKW assembly we have.

 

Historians at GM think they never participated in WWII... so anything they have will most likely never see the light of day.
