    There will never be another era like the 50s Hot Rods and Rock and roll. If I could go back in time it would definitely be the 50s the age of innocence. Well so it seemed!

    Dude, we need to establish something: this is THE most underrated channel on CZcams! Your editing and camera work is as fine as most big-budget Hollywood flicks, and your choices for music fits these cars you highlight to a tee. I really wish more people in our age (millennial, Gen Z) understood how bitchin’ classic cars are, but I guess that saves more rods for those of us who do get it. Regardless, keep up the good work!

    Beautiful coupe. As a little note of interest, I don't know how popular a Shifano was but he did the interior, top and the tonneau on the Dean Lowe Roadster Pickup which was built in '59/60. The quality of that interior shows through as it has survived incredibly well. It has been owned by a good friend for the last 23 years so I have had the honour of seeing the quality workmanship up close.

    Don’t chop it, restore it to 60’s condition and keep it. It will make a great story

    Amazing story. Love the old hot rods more than anything else. When I was a teenager in the 60's I used to dream about California and all things like this.

  • @pickleboat45

    FYI electric fuel pumps were common in the 50’s, often easiest way if no clearance for a mechanical pump. I had a Bendix electrical pump mounted in the trunk of my ‘47 Ford coupe, flathead with 3 97’s in ‘56, later with Cadillac later with Olds 324 - same pump. Pump was hard piped to block on firewall, hoses to carbs made swaps easier.
    Nice find. Wonder where my ‘47 is today - only had 12,000 miles on it when I sold it in ‘59.

    I keep looking at this car, in fact it really hit me in the thumbnail so I clicked it. I'm not 100% sure, I seem to remember seeing this in either old an issue of R&C, from the late '50s or I used to have a book called "Grease Machines" published in 1978 that featured photos of customs from so. cal during the late '50s and early '60s. there's a group photo on one page that has a chopped and sectioned '32 5 window (obviously not your car...) and there were other '32's on the same page.for some reason the blue paint, the motor, and interior really rang a bell. the other '32s were 3 windows like yours I remember that. I know that's not much, but I hope it's a bit of a help.

    • @FourSpeedFilms

      Tommy Mills That’s very interesting! I’ll let him know!

    • @tommymills326
      @tommymills326 Před 6 lety +3

      The other thing, (and I didn't even notice until I watched this a couple times) the car I remember seeing pics of had a white rolled and pleated insert where the canvas top would be, and this one has it. it's been a long time since I've seen the pics, since I lost most of my old car literature stuff, but I also seem to remember it had Olds Fiesta caps on it. I do hope this kinda helps.

    • @FourSpeedFilms

  • @robfrye4664
    @robfrye4664 Před 4 lety +2

    The Holy Grail of hot rods! Far cooler than a '32 roadster, in my opinion! Those things are like belly buttons these days, with so many reproductions! But it doesn't get much better than a real-deal Deuce 3-window running a '39 Ford trans-shifter Olds! I'm 73 and have lusted after that combo all my life. A Caddy in there with a Cad-Lasalle top shifter would also be perfect! I'm very glad you're going to just clean, service and drive this car! Last of all, as you're lucky enough to have become the caretaker of this piece of history, you should show respect for the original owner/builder by not using the front end as a chair, and keep your butt on the seat and your feet on the pedals where they belong. I'm sure they'd appreciate it! Great find!

    I was born in 57 ..growing up in the 60s was great.. I have pictures of a 31 Ford w/ a inline flathead 6 with twin carbs that mom and dad dated in ..they would use it to tow what mom referred to as a "rail job" a frame with a seat and a flat head 6 to the drag strip.

    electric fuel pumps were often used because ford flatheads were bad about vapor locking. the factory located the fuel pump on top of the engine, at the back , so in the summer they were bad about vapor locking. i remember my dad and i pushing his brand new 1951 ford hardtop, down mockingbird lane in Dallas,Texas on a hot sept. day. he was mad.

      TV Guy here: Four Speed, consider moving talent closer to the camera with car framed bg. That way (cam mic) audio is tighter. I have talent look at "the interviewer" off camera left while they are framed on the right. With car bg it makes a nice triangle. All else positive. And you are in the right town...😂 cheers

Got to say though... The car looks familiar... not magazine familiar though.. I swear I saw a pic of this from Larry Watson before he passed away awhile back.... I pretty sure he had nothing to do with it.... But possibly a renegades car???... Just a thought

    What an awesome & lucky find . they are true time capsules from the past . Did you have mice or rat's damage ? We have a 1969 Caprice two door with red interior stored in a barn for over 30 years and mice ended up getting inside the glove box and the inside of the rear bench seat. It's cleaned up now but the smell was bad when we dragged it out of the barn. We also have a 1967 Dodge Dart two door with a crate 360 ci engine, headers, Holley 750 carburetor and some sort of speed link automatick on the floor . I love great finds like these. Basicallythe cars are complete but they need hell
    of elbow grease 😎
    in it

    Just my opinion..... I know without a doubt I would do everything possible to restore this car to the show condition it was when built/parked. Right down to the paint which I would assume is nitrocellulose lacquer. I don't think acrylic lacquer was available yet. I know lacquer is not popular anymore and for good reason. But you only get 1 shot at bringing this car back intact as it apparently was. It would be absolutely amazing to anyone who knew what was done.
