Other times General Motors came up
Take them to see My Fair Lady at a sixth of the price. It would be less expensive but doesn't make you feel like you're part of such a big operation. Wow. There were shows like The Bathrooms Are Coming, which was a 1969 show put on by American Standard Plumbers. There was Diesel Dazzle by General Motors in 1966. That one is quite good. It's alright isn't it? Worth making a big budget musical out of it.

The story that it's based on is the thing that actually happened. It's a group of car and oil companies. They were called National City Lines, right? It was controlled by General Motors. The thing they did in the early years of the 20th century, they bought up loads of streetcar lines. These streetcars with rails, trolley buses, things like this. All across America, they bought these up, and they dismantled them and shut them off.
