Susie the little blue coupe

Gad! I haven't seen this cartoon since the mid-fifties when it was on Disney's (then--new) tv show. Which was sponsored by Hudson, as I recall. It made a deep impression on me. (In fact maybe 12 years later I liberated a '50 Studebaker from a wrecking yard, for $40, and got it back on the road!)



I forgot that the narrator was Sterling Hollowell, though. What a voice!



That same night, as I recall, they played another Disney cartoon, this one about a little country cottage that was gradually overtaken by urban sprawl and ended up in the bad section of a big city, destined to be overtaken by Urban Removal. Happily, the little house was purchased by a young couple before it could be bulldozed, and moved out to a little hill in the country. Same idea as the little blue car: eager youth followed by middle-aged downfall, followed by eventual redemption and rebirth.



What fun to see this again after more than 50 years!
