It's A Bird

Excerpt from a bizarre 1930 stop-motion animation piece featuring Charley Bowers and a metal-eating bird. The creature devours junk from an auto scrapyard, then lays an egg that hatches and grows into a brand new car.

Gerard, I'm sure this is Photoshopped. It is hard to believe that men worn lipstick back then.

No Ted, it's not Photoshopped. Charley Bowers did put on lipstick whenever he performed.

I have this on an old VHS cassette under the name of "You Auto Lay An Egg".
Pretty impressive for the time it was made.
