Summary
The story begins with Cinderella wishing to have a better life, away from her evil stepsisters. There is a gnome that is watching Cinderella live a strenuous life. When Cinderella falls asleep the gnome takes Cinderella's measurements, then leaves to meet other gnomes in the woods. He tells them that Cinderella has done quite a bit for them when they were in need, so they should return the favor. The gnomes decide to help Cinderella by making her a dress for the ball, and a car that she can travel in. They use various things around the forest to make her a carriage. Then, they put it through the "modernizer" and at the end of the clip it is revealed to be a new Chevrolet. Cinderella then goes out to the ball in the car, with the rest of the story told by the sequel 'A Ride for Cinderella'. This film is in the public domain.[http://cartoonresearch.com/index.php/nicky-nome-rides-again/ Nicky Nome Rides Again|Cartoon Research][https://www.thetruthaboutcars.com/2013/12/automotive-wayback-machine-the-jam-handy-organization-archive/ Automotive Wayback Machine: The Jam Handy Organization Archive-The Truth About Cars]
