If you look at the credits for most of those old movies you'll find a line that says "Automobiles Provided by Chrysler Corp." This was among the earliest product placements, and Chrysler did a good job of blanketing the industry. I have read somewhere that GM and Ford had a hard time getting their cars in the movies as Chrysler seemed to have most studios sewed up. Now stop looking at old movies and get something done!
