00:30 This is a story of Susie.
00:33 She was a beautiful newcore, and she sat in a big auto showroom all day long flirting with the people passing by.
00:42 [Music]
00:46 One day, a flashing grill caught the eye of a neat little man in a brown suit.
00:52 When he saw Susie, it was love at first sight.
00:57 [Music]
01:00 Isn't she a beauty? Why, she's the sweetest little car money can buy.
01:05 I know you'll be happy with her. Now if you'll just sign here, my friend, she's all yours.
01:11 Yeah, it was as simple as that, and Susie was sold.
01:15 Susie was a happy little car, she glided down the avenue.
01:19 [Music]
01:32 The minute she stepped out on the main drag, Susie found herself in pretty fast company.
01:39 [Music]
01:48 But then she had a lot of pep and pick up, and she soon learned her way around.
01:54 [Music]
01:58 Susie loved the parking lot society, where she could rub fenders with the best of them.
02:04 [Music]
02:06 She met all the big wheels, big cabs, dignified limousines.
02:11 [Music]
02:13 It was a great place to make new contacts.
02:15 [Door slams]
02:16 Oop, sorry.
02:18 [Door slams]
02:19 [Music]
02:31 [Door slams]
02:32 But at the end of the day, it felt mighty good to be home in her own cozy little garage,
02:39 where she could just relax and let her tires cool off.
02:46 [Music]
02:48 But as the years passed, Susie's mileage rolled up and she began to show her age.
02:55 [Music]
03:02 Her color was fading and she developed carburetor trouble.
03:07 [Music]
03:11 And she was losing some of her old pep and pick up too.
03:15 [Music]
03:19 Hey, get this stall in.
03:21 Get moving.
03:22 [Music]
03:33 Susie was all run down and long overdue for a checkup.
03:37 [Music]
03:45 [Coughing]
03:48 Well, I'm afraid she's in pretty bad shape, mister.
03:51 Fact is, she needs a complete overhaul.
03:54 No, no, what I need is a new car.
03:58 [Music]
04:02 Come in and see maniac Martin.
04:04 [Laughter]
04:06 We're not selling them, folks.
04:08 We're giving them away.
04:09 [Laughter]
04:11 We know we're crazy, but look at the...
04:14 What was to become of Susie?
04:16 Who would want a worn out old coop?
04:19 [Music]
04:46 Hey, Mac, I'll take this here old blue club.
04:51 Now it was back streets and dark alleys.
04:55 Susie was on skid row.
04:58 Susie was left out in the cold.
05:01 [Music]
05:05 Abused, neglected, she soon lost all her self-respect.
05:10 [Music]
05:22 And it was plain to see that she was getting out of line.
05:26 [Music]
05:31 One dark night, as she sat all by herself on a lonely street,
05:37 a stranger stepped out of the shadow.
05:41 Her oil ran cold.
05:43 [Music]
05:52 Susie was a stolen car.
05:54 [Siren]
05:56 Calling car 47.
05:58 Watch for stolen car.
06:00 Small blue coop.
06:02 License number A72.
06:04 [Music]
06:33 [Train]
06:35 [Music]
06:44 [Scream]
06:46 [Music]
06:54 At last the end had come.
06:57 She was a battered old wreck and they dragged her away to the junkyard.
07:03 Susie had come to the end of her road.
07:07 [Music]
07:24 Hey mister, what do you want for this old blue heap here?
07:28 Uh, say about $15.
07:30 Aw gee whiz, I've only got $12.50.
07:35 Well, take her away son, she's all yours.
07:40 They stripped her fenders, chopped her top, shackled her down and hopped her up.
07:45 [Train]
07:47 She felt 50,000 miles younger.
07:50 [Train]
07:54 It was a miracle, that's what it was.
07:58 And it couldn't have happened to a nicer little car.
