This is an educational short film for new drivers. Ten minutes of footage showing crashed cars in a junkyard. I'm not sure if IMDB has the correct year. |

As I wrote, I don't think, it's from 1970, rather from 1972 or 1973. Why not asking the wrecker itself? http://recycler.car-part.com/BensonsAuto/ P.S. Not before 1974, see the 914. -- Last edit: 2010-08-15 01:00:02 |

But the junk-yard on the second last pic isn't Benson's - IMHO it's the Golden Gate Bridge in the background. So there was a car-wrecker at Fisherman's Wharf? |

The bridge might be this one: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vincent_Thomas_Bridge |

I've submitted an update to imdb about the year. |

strange concept for a "educational" film |
◊ 2010-08-22 00:57 |
The year is changed on imdb now. |

Do I see Honda 600? |

Yes, it is one. |

The grille of a 1963 Mercury full-size is prominently visible in the second thumbnail. Benson's Auto Dismantling, the location in the third thumbnail, is still in operation at 7711 South Alameda Street in Los Angeles. |

Painful. Remind me never to watch this particular show! |

The car in the "Kar Press" at about 6:00 is a 1961 Ford Galaxie. |

It's more a series of shock films, judging from other titles by Sid Davis. "The Bottle and the Throttle", "Too Young to Burn" etc... |
