- GoofsWhen writing the report for the Hurricane "8", the lines to write in the 'Ailment' and 'Condition' entries are broken/missing at exactly the points where letters with descenders are written. Three breaks for the 'Ailment' (Hit by a lamppost) - one for the 'y' and two for the two 'p's'. There is only one break in the 'Condition' entry (In the pink) for the 'p'.

Featured review
Bizarre but enjoyable.
If you've seen many Betty Boop cartoons, you can see that this is one of the later ones, as Betty is very different looking from her older self. Back in the earlier days, Betty was very curvy and sexy. However, here she is much taller and less amply endowed. Part of this is because the new Production Code of 1934 mandated some changes but part was just apparently due to changing fashions--making the 1939 Betty more modern and 'normal' looking.
Despite my use of the word normal, nothing else about "So Does An Automobile" is normal! It is a very strange cartoon in which cars have become anthropomorphic and Betty works in a garage that is really much more like a hospital for sick and injured autos! Few of the gags are hilarious but it is cute and will keep your attention. Plus, like all Fleischer cartoons, the animation is terrific. You gotta see this one to believe it!
