Susie The Little Blue Coupe


I came across this fun little Disney cartoon on YouTube the other day, and I have enjoyed it several times since.  It shows a story that has repeated itself time and again since the birth of the automobile, but in this case, with the help of what some have called America's "first recyclers" (i.e. hot rodders), this tale has a happy ending.  Enjoy Susie The Little Blue Coupe.
