The audio running delayed in the background, is very distracting and quite annoying.
Came here to see the T-Bird. What GM's Futureliner had to do with the T-Bird is beyond me.
I was fortunate to see the Italien at the Blackhawk a number of years ago. As others have said, it would have made a great version of the t-bird.
Thanks for the video.
I met Tom Maruska, the person who restored the Italien, at the 2007 Barrett-Jackson auction in Scottsdale. What a craftsman! He later sold it at a subsequent Barrett-Jackson auction for $600K to the Blackhawk Museum.
In Danville?
Italian designers have a talent for creating shapes that directly ignite a passionate response from those who see them. This car is a good example - it just looks right.
FIX THE MESSED UP AUDIO. How can anyone post a video with this kind of defect? FIX IT!
THis video could easily be 15 minutes without all the annoying fluff at the beginning and duplicate video and narration
The Italien was one of the finest production-based "dream cars" of the era.
Please check your audio on this video.
Unless it was done for effect, I can hear the dialogue echoing in the background.
I also hear the echo. It's really distracting.
As a video editor this is the second video that the audio has been slipped and this wouldn't be for an effect the time-line was adjusted
Could also be an old magnetic tape. With age, audio can magnetize adjacent layers of wound tape.
My Dad had a '61 Thunderbird...What a great car that was! The 390c.i. V8 powered it effortlessly and quietly, with lots of torque. It's engine sound and power delivery was much like an early 70's Mercedes 450SL. The interior was fantastic, the dual cowl dashboard, dual bucket seats, and bright metal center console was space age while also being elegant and sporty. The slide over steering column was very different, my Dad used to say it was so large people could easily get in and out of the car and there was some truth in that. The doors were long, heavy, but quite well designed, providing easy access for rear passengers. Back seats were also really comfy and roomy. The trunk space was big enough to call a 2nd home ha ha ha
The T-Bird that should have been built! I never understood the squared off roofline on the bullet birds, and for Ford to abandon this fastback design right when they were coming into style was a mistake IMHO.
Agreed, that's gorgeous!
@@mescko I saw on a Saturday car show a bullet bird someone had grafted the roof of a 61 starliner onto. It was absolutely what the car should have had
@@alfavulcan4518 Now, *there's* an idea!
Sort of misleading video title when 2/3 of the 22 minutes was all about GM's busses.
I watched Kendig it rebuild a "Futureliner ". It was the jet engine display model.
That was a 1903 Oldsmobile Runabout, there's a couple who own one and give rides at car shows.
Video is nice but it will never beat human interface.
The Italien, what a body!
Beautiful video - Thank you!
Docuworld writer is high. Could he skip around any more? Why was I not informed from the headline and thumbnail that this is more about Futureliners than anything else?
GM Futureliner: Ribbed for our pleasure!
The audio is played twice in this video. One version is lower and about 15 seconds behind the louder version.
Thank you for your precious movie and nice restauration document report. I didn't know the GM Parade of Progress.
I felt these gigantic and beautiful vans, also Thunderbird Italian were filled by sense of beauty at that era. Cosmic era, rich era, dreamful era and JFK's era...How beautiful they were!
Very cool video. Thumbs Up !
There is also a 63'Tbird out there with a roof from a fastback Ford, possibly a Torino? Someone built there own version.
I am glad this time has come and gone and most of this is in the junk yard or someplace gathering rust. The cars of today are so much bette, more advanced to, it's what these autos wanted to be when they grew up.
One of those GM marketing busses was parked on Moorpark St. in Sherman Oaks, CA. in the early 2000s. It was rumored to be owned by somebody with the Cadillac dealership close by. At the time Moorpark had unrestricted parking and the bus would disappear for a couple of days and the reappear on the same block. It still possessed the red and silver livery and I passed it every day. Never stopped to get an up close view but sure wish I had.
I worked at Casa de Cadillac in the 80's and it used to be stored in the alley behind and I was lucky enough to go up in the cab at the time, the guy who said he owned it at that time was around 55. I was 30 ish! Great memory!
@@68lehman Very cool. In those days Moorpark St. was a ticket free zone and oddities would show up from time to time but this cat was there for a looong time if you saw it in the '80'. I moved to S.O. in '94 and the vehicle was still there for a few years. Redevelopment/gentrification has rendered the area NO PARKING now.
Good Gosh. The restoration of the number ten is awesome
Imagine this car on production in 1963 , WOW!!.
The Italien reminds me of the Ford Consul Capri.
Italien: noticed the similarity of the vent on the side of the front fender to the M-B 300SL, while the design over the rear wheel and roof reminded me of the AMC Marlin. Thanks. Narragansett Bay
Nice 👍🏻😊
My Stepdad had a Tbird ragtop White, leather Also White..a car to Remember!!
Fabulous.
The Italians didn't add a positive thing to the 63 T bird. Their main addition was the roof line which was not nearly as attractive as the stock one. A perfect example is GM executives hubris of dismissing their own designers on the Allante and instead had an Italian company make the body and then ship it to America. That ridiculous idea raised the cost for the cars to a nose bleed level that the cars quality didn't deserve. Then the early power plants were anemic and the early Northstar engines were a reliability disaster.
Your crazy if you think the box shaped thunderbird looks better than this
The actual car begins at 17:52
My parents had a '61 T-bird with the tilt-away steering wheel! Nice feature to have when my Mother was pregnant.
I remember those! Can't recall who's car it was... might have been the next door neighbor's when I was a kid.
A Century of Progress was the 1939 Worlds Fair. Several of these went across Europe and landed in the start of WWII. So much for progress.
Please qc your files before you upload this is the 3rd video that has an audio issue as a editor this is very disturbing and distracting good channel otherwise
Ford missed the boat on not putting this beautiful car out!
Has anybody else noticed there are two soundtracks running in this video?
Gotta work on the production values. The voice track bleeding through a couple beats behind is annoying.
You can skip the first 15 minutes if you only want to see the T-Bird. Why is the first 3/4 of the video about the GM monster?
VERY MISLEADING TITLE...NO MENTION of the Ford T-Bird until 16:30 into the Video!!
at 6:53 that is the intersection of Washington & Genesee in Saginaw, Michigan
this was a different world. way different.
The GM thing is a bus. Why do you have a delayed voice track playing in the background, it is really irritating.
Kendigit of Salt Lake City restored one some years ago.
What's with the delayed echo? It's distracting and takes away from the enjoyment of the video.
Ay! they gonna makka an offer you canna refuse but I didn't ask for pasta in My glove compartment.
If only we could go back.
I'm sorry, but I like the original roof!
how ?
Just over 2/3rds of this video is about a 1953 GM Parade of Progress bus. Yet the title and thumbnail implies its about the T-bird. Only the last 7 minutes is the T-bird. Misleading at best.
Looks like a GM F-3 locomotive from the front. Funny the never say anything about this. GM did make locomotives.
Italians are good at making Pizza and Pasta. But not so good at making good looking cars. :(
Were all the buses red?
The Ford ThunderBird A O A O A
Polio ended because the gov stopped spraying humans with DDT
Where italian touch ? 😅😅 , thats purely american design light steel
"Titanium Glory"
Uuuuh no.
Put a Cummins in it.
Kinda big for a T-Bird!
LOL!
Italian!
Personally I never liked the 63 look.
You should fire the guy writing the headlines. This video is about a bus. Would be subscriber, here, and you're convincing me not to subscribe.
Legalize Marijuana! This is what resulted. Title and video don't match. If you can watch, when the audio goes off the rails all that's left is to see if the film falls off the sprocket.
Wake up, fellas. Trainwreck.
Talk about disappointing for the Thunderbird! Lots of extreme close-ups, low murmuring narrator, music louder than the curators voice at times. Not one walk around, glaring light from the background. Very disappointing. Why do the documentary if you're not going to show the car?
Buy a hearing aid and take a laxative. You need both...
"One Purpose?"
. . . one word;
S T U P I D
Spell check on the word Italian
It's spelled ITALIAN
You can at least spell Italian correctly!
It's spelled ITALIAN for Christ's sake.
Keep trying, maybe you'll come up with something watchable. That annoying background talk and music can be left out, as can all the redundant script. You basically took eight minutes of content and turned it into 23 minutes.
"It alien?" What alien? Please go back to grammar school, and try to pay attention this time.
Pointless useless vertical possibly dangerous
For all my life, and for a long time prior, The General Motors logo has been a capital G and a capital M, which is fitting as the two letters are supposed to be capitalized since the two words are a name. As a certified car guy, most of my working life has been about cars, and I now work at a GMC, Buick, and Chevrolet dealership. BUT, about a year and a half ago, GM changed their logo; it is now both letters in lower case! I find this reprehensible, offending my sensibilities regarding both grammar and tradition. GM says it is to show their embrace of electric vehicles, but I think it is more Corporate Kowtowing to the Woke Mob. No, I don't like it.
