Show 'Em the Road

Show 'Em the Road is a short film from 1954 released on 16mm. It is held in the Prelinger Archives collection.

The juvenile officer of a town explains the safety and economy competition to the police department, a two-day 663 mile route -- "starting in Lynwood and moving east to San Bernardino, then north, cutting through the mountains at Cajon Pass, to Barstow (US 91) for refueling, then out across the Joshua Tree desert to Las Vegas, Nevada. Up to the Hoover Dam, and then back home again." The ton mileage formula, used to make the competition fair, includes weighing the automobiles and pushing the cars into the gas stations.

Personalities: Ralph DePalma, famous race car driver

Excellent shots of Las Vegas, including Sands Hotel, and good night shots of neon signs in Las Vegas.
