It seems that by 1935, not many As were on the road, yet they are the greatest survivors today. How is that?

The original black/white version of this had no sound of horns or other cars although someone had dubbed in a looping audio of pauses in engine sound with a soft click sound for gear changes.
Aside from the random interpretation of driving lanes back then, the drivers seem to be unaware that they are being filmed which, for that time, was unusual to not have people mooning for the camera. I was told that Hollywood of that era made use of something called a "rumblecam" which was mounted in the trunk or rumble area, partially concealed, and operated by a passenger via the rear window opening. This allowed for the surreptitious filming of moving street scenes without alerting other drivers and passengers to the activity underway.
