In the latter cartoon, a boat is five horsepower. It’s pushed in the water by five horses.
In this one, narrator Gil Warren says “Here’s a powerful little job. 200 horsepower.”
And there’s a post-script that didn’t make it into Field and Scream.
It might have been fun to see the sanitation guy on water skis.
Walt Clinton, Mike Lah and Grant Simmons are the animators.
I remember the "seal-beam headlights" from either this or an earlier version (from when sealed-beam headlights were introduced with the 1940 model year?) Of course, by the time I was watching with Dad it was the early/mid '80s and the next morning we'd watch MotorWeek which at one point in 1983 ('84 model year) they had a piece on the Lincoln Mark VII's revolutionary new *non*-sealed-beam headlights!
