  The Top New Videos list is always full of interesting, current videos. It is always recommended that you have a look through the Top New Videos, but also have a look at these:
  - Upcoming Unsifted Videos - active video submissions that neither are published to the front page nor archived to the submitter's personal queue
- Have you seen a really funny, surprising, scary, interesting, cute or in any other way extra good quality video?
  Post and share it here - VideoSift is the best video aggregator on the Web, where we share, discuss, promote, and interact with the best videos out there on the web. Post it here, and share it with the large community of video-interested users. And - you are guaranteed to find more very good videos here already!
  Mind you, we only share videos you discover that someone else has made; if you "self link," by posting a video you have made, have posted or have interests in, you risk the ban hammer - read the posting guidelines before posting. The sift is NOT for promoting your own videos - it is for sharing videos others have made.

♪ ...In my Merry Oldsmobile... ♫

submitted by pho3n1x

1 decade 7 years 8 months 3 weeks ago

A greedy man (he looks more like a magician, I'll say) tries to convince Lucille to come with him in his merry Oldsmobile. Lucille refuses, then Young Johnny Steele comes along and saves the day. Then it's time to sing "In My Merry Oldsmobile." Watch the gag at the end, too.

This rare cartoon was made by the Fleischer brothers in order to advertise the new Oldsmobile cars.

Produced by Fleischer Studios, Inc. Animated by Jimmy Culhane. By arrangement and cooperation with Olds Motor Works.

Filmed in Black & White.
