1958 Mercedes Benz 300D Boca Concours Batista Castro Lewis
Seems like a very nice fellow, but many of his "facts are quite fictional"
What a nice original rare car!
With all due respect, the gentleman owner is rather misinformed about his car. Park Ward’s design 700 drophead coupé with the unique tail lamp treatment was made 55 times. Additionally, air conditioning was only offered on standard steel cars in 1956, and not available at that time on the Bentley Continental. Lastly, the engine is not of dual overhead camshaft layout; it is of overhead inlet and side exhaust valve design and employs pushrods. Facts matter.
I love Woodie wagons
If you likes this woody, take a look at Steven Lempera's 1933 Rolls Royce Woody. Thanks for watching.
Beautiful, made in the year I ( UK ) was born.
Looks better than those CCCA Dogs! Simple, clean easy to drive - great!!!
Superb!
How do u find parts for the car was everything made morden
What dreams are made of
When i was a teen in the early 60's my friend had an Uncle that collected old cars. He had a big house on the water and in the seaplane hangar instead of a float plane there were old cars and an Auburn Boattail speedster. A plaque on the dash proclaimed that the car had achieved 100 miles per hour on the test track. That car is still around today in Hilton Head and can be rented out for special occasions. This friends Uncle had scores of old cars tucked away as well as old school wooden speed boats for running booze back when.
Thank you so much for sharing this car. What an incredible story.
Currently working on a build-off with a 1930 Erskine. If Ernie’s owner needs some extra parts, please let me know how I can get in touch with him!
Great car, guys definitely a dork.... (He's my dad)
untrue
Great video. Brings back memories. My late uncle had one of these early Jaguars. When I stayed over (talking very early 50's), I'd gaze at the enormous Lucas headlights, be transfixed with the chromework: the scrolled bumper, the iconic Jaguar bonnet symbol, and of course, sit in it, take in the glorious leather smell, and pretend to drive it! Thanks!
Nice car!!!
Nice car!!!
Color is Great Color Makes The Vehicle 😊
I still want a Mk-4
Beautiful car...anyone who says SS cars only came with bucket seats isnt knowledgeable about Chevelles.
Great video.. May I ask on a hot day, 1/ does the engine run cool? (have you added an extra electric fan for cooling the radiator?) 2/ with the clever sun roof & windout windscreen, is the cabin cool enough to be bearable From Sunny & not Australia
Beautiful car, Lash!
Beautifull Car Robert.. great interview. Congratulations for St Andrew's Best In Show 2024.
Beautiful. What is the appraised value?
Jeff, Thanks for your comments. Glad you liked the car. Unfortunately, most vintage/classic car owners won't put a price on their cars publicly. That is because the value is only what someone is willing to pay, and a value before the owner wants to sell may turn off some future buyers. And the truth is that many vintage/classic car owners don't make any or very much money when they do sell because of the fluctuating market to a small niche. Most collectors have an emotional attachment or just like to own. Most of these cars cost more to rehab, maintain, and show than they can return when sold. However, some of the rarest cars do appreciate like some of the Bugattis, Ferraris RRs, prewar MBs, etc. Also, it is predicted that because the collectors tend to be older men, that when they tire of collecting or pass on, the younger generation won't be interested in collecting these cars. Therefore the values may decline significantly. Keep watching, we'll have more videos soon. Subscribe to keep up. Thanks again.
@@RetroCarChannel777 Thank you for the thoughtful and informative reply. The reason I ask is because I was at an estate planning presentation and one of the presenters was a CPA. He said he owned a car that had been passed down through the family that was worth $500.000.00. Someone ask what it was and he said a 1912 Cadillac and that he was leaving each of his kids a 1/9th share ownership in the car. That seemed like an interesting approach to me. I wonder how well that will work out?
Nice car,.,..
😄 *Promo SM*
Very interesting car. Enjoyed the drop and we Thank You for sharing..
what a beauty
A beautiful rare Auto & your looking great , Sir. ( David Leira Racing days )
Right on
.... Salut my friend super car super video subscribe subscribe
Any chance anybody got torque specifications for engine like the valve cover rocker arm cover bolts anything has to do with the motor please let me know
Spectacular restoration and the interior is amazing. You have a beautiful car, congrats!
When I was a kid in Massachusetts, one of my kid friends had one of these. Hard to recall now, but I think he only kept it about 2 months, troublesome. Replaced it with a '37 Buick Century.
Impressively knowledgeable!
By chance, was the owner in Ontario Canada Ken McGee, in Goderich? If so, he was a GM dealer for many years. Had some nice cars!
in my oh-so hoity-toity hometown in the NL, we had a couple that drove a Mk4 three position DHC. Truly oh so chic !
What??!
Very nicely done and sensitive rescue though I’d have found some way to get a 6 cyl back in it.
Very nicely saved sir! (If I’m not mistaken I think you also have a fine TR6 with a small V8 fitted?) bless you and hope you are still keeping fit and well. Regards from London England.
This car started out as a Triumph GT6 what it is now is anyone's guess , it's not a Triumph any more is it ! More like a bitsa
cool car-
Makes the come to Life!
Actually the fastest 1941 Buick is the Roadmaster Convertible Coupe which had the big 320ci engine with 165hp. That model was the fastest production car in America in 1941. Just 1,869 of these were made and it is estimated that only 50-60 of these exist today. I’m fortunate to be restoring one of them here in Australia.
Actually, it's an oak bed floor not teak, but, refinished like teak furniture.
Forgot to say in my 1st comment, i have a 58 Hardtop in Mardi Gras Red and Frost White identical to yours
Well done Harry, great to see you drive it regular, i have 4 Metropolitans here in England UK, i love em too
I went looking for a pickup truck in 1971. The dealership had two in my trade/ price range. A late 40s truck and 1961 Ford econoline. I went home in the Econoline. I got to my hometown and saw a friend who ran a Tree Service working a job. I stopped to show him the truck. He tried hard to buy it from me. I kept it. Enjoyed it for awhile till in 1972 I traded it in for 1968 Dodge van to take a vacation trip with wife and 2 kids. With a mattress in the back it was great for the kids to sleep when tired.
Looking to contact the owner, please message me .
Watch the video till the end
Thank you I’d somehow missed that .
NOOOO! He took the heart out of a GT6!!!!!!
You’ve got to love a real gentleman👍💙
Had a 1941 Packard 110. 100 HP and 48MPH from the three speed gearbox. I bought a period Packard overdrive to install into it to attain modern highway speeds. Would have preferred a small block Chevy with a modern transmission, as it was still a dog. But in it's day you couldn't really complain.
If it was designed for driving on the “Continent” why would it be built with a right hand steering wheel? That said, I would still love to have one for use in North America.
