I was born in 1956 and grew up with the best cars and music. My first car was a 1970 mustang Mach 1 with a 351C engine and a Hurst 4 speed transmission when I was 16. I wish I still had it
I lived in a city in northern Australia and as a kid during the 1950s, I used to go fishing on the local wharf. One day when I went fishing there were hundreds of old cars lined up on the wharf, some dating back to the early 1920s or earlier. All the cars had the canvas top and the seats removed and they filled them up with scrap metal and sent them off to Japan where they were melted down, and I suppose, turned into Toyota’s, Mazda’s etc.
Amazing Collection Peter!! You are a man after my own heart. Now all Peter has to do is get everything appraised. I am curious how expensive the most expensive automobile is.🤔
Like The Lady Said Those Cars From The Distant Past Had Personality The Cars Of Today Don't Have Crap Back In The 60's I Could Look At A Car And Know Instantly Who Made It And What Year It Was!
What an absolutely magnificent collection. You know, Seal Cove Auto Museum in Acadia was one of the very best automobile museums I have ever been to in my life and I have been to many superb ones. But I sure wish I had known about this one when I was there.
it ain't no dream when you figure out what it takes to maintain a car collection like this !you can't just let them sit there and not look after them go ask jay leno what it takes and besides there is a one there thing here too we all get old !
@@user-dd5de9hn3o it took me about more than 15 years to fully restore a 1952 Chevy fleetline two door straight six three on the tree by my self, I prepped and chrome all that was to be chromed , I polished everything and it's still shining 20 years later, I took it to bare metal cut and replaced all the rust out treated the metal searched for the n.o.s. accessories , did some of the upholstery and painted it the original color Summer time green 💚 I know first hand how much hard work and dedication it was to have my dream come true
Amazing how God has given one man the ability to keep the progress of man contained all by his Hands. If it were Not given him by God he could never done this by himself.Amen.
Did the news reporter sneak in a pun at @ 1:30? Did anyone else catch it? He's talking about the guy's car collection (Ford's) & he said something about the first affordable V8 engine. The word ''affordable'' has the word ''Ford'' in it & he was talking about Ford's. How fitting.
Wow. Greetings from Canada. I would love to see the collection. My daughter who lives in New Brunswick now after university. When I travel down from Toronto to visit I would love to have a detour. Went to Indiana to studebaker museum when my brother got married to his wife American. Beautiful cars so sad the brand went bust. (Studebaker) G
His passion for old Fords is even worse then mine. I've, as an OF have only owned 3 Ford convertibles, a '57 w/312 T-Bird Special, a '60 w/352 and now a '31 but that's a hot rod (Ford 5.0 powered). We are planning a trip to Maine in September so maybe a day in nearby Gardner will need to be scheduled.
The valves aren’t in the head. They’re in the block and that’s why it’s a flat head
You are correct..
Or a side valve
You're correct - I caught that error, too, but we can skip over that to see the rest of his collection.
I caught that too
The 30's era Ford's were gorgeous. Very nice!
Beautiful Collection.

It is a 1959
