10 Quickest Muscle Cars Of The 1940s!| What They Cost Then vs Now
I like your idea and it is a very interesting video thank you. One suggestion: just read the copy yourself. The digital voice and its overly exact reading of abbreviations throws the video off.
Thanks for your great information. I will dig into more information for the next videos. Let's explore powerful muscle cars with us.@@paulwells4203
@@qmusclecars Robotic reply indeed! Thank You for your patronage. Powerful muscle cars to swipe, it's got a very fast 6cyl engine, "That still drives quite quickly" who did you ever get of that poke? Ha ha ha!......Get it? Dispose of batteries properly.
The original videos had audio errors. We have fixed that. Thank you for always supporting our channel.@@RSF-DiscoveryTime
@@qmusclecarsGreat video. Sadly the generation that collected these cars are dying off. Therefore, the values of all of these 1940's cars are sinking like a rock. There's hardly any demand for these cars anymore. Soon you'll be able to purchase these 1940's and earlier cars for dirt cheap.

That robot sounds like he’s been drinking.🥴
I changed the voice in the latest video, can you help me rate its quality?@@mikeholling8830
Hate canned computer narration. Pronunciation of Cadillac was hilarious.
You're absolutely right about the lame computer narration! "ca-DIL-ak" was bad enough, but it really drove me nuts to hear the narrator repeatedly say "HP" instead of "horsepower", and "MPH" instead of "miles per hour". I do question some of the stated facts...such as fuel injection on a '49 DeSoto (the factory brochure states that it had a downdraft carburetor), or that the heavy DeSoto with its 236 cubic inch flathead 6 and 3-on-the-tree (or Fluid Drive) transmission could get from 0-to-60 in 12 seconds.
Thank you for your sincere feedback, I will improve it immediately to bring a better experience to you and your beloved audiences. Once again sincerely thank you.
Thanks so much!
Are you making fun of my Ca-dill-ak? That' what is written in chrome on my See-vill.
Thank you, I will improve my video so it has better quality.@@notme123
Various mistakes and at least two of the cars shown had V8 transplants replacing the original engines.
I don't think any of these cars had fuel injection. I don't think the Mercury could outrun the Pontiac Eight in spite of its horsepower claim being a bit higher. I believe that Mercury had a 239 V8 engine that was flathead. (1950 Pontiac Eight,older Pontiac Eights had less displacement than the 1950 model through 1954,after 1954 the famous Pontiac V8 made its appearance.
The Pontiac was quickest when with the manual transmission and the Straight Eight but probably not as quick as the Buick Roadmaster/Buick Century or the Olds V8,especially the 88 model with manual transmission. (Pontiac would have been quicker than any Buick of the era if the Buick contained the horrible Dynaflo transmission.)
The Hudson Hornet was probably the quickest car shown in the video. Gave the Olds a good run for the money if on an actual road course with curves. Olds 135 horsepower was probably understated and the Hudson probably had more horsepower than the video stated. I believe the Hornet had the largest and most powerful L head (flathead) inline Six ever put in a car from the factory.
We take this matter seriously, have learned from it, and promise to rectify these flaws in upcoming videos. We hope that our viewers will continue to be patient and accompany us on this journey. Our constant goal is to produce the highest quality videos. Thank you all very much!
ford had a 239, the merc had 256 same engine with a bigger bore
The Merc flathead was 255 cubic inches. When they came out with the overhead valve engine in 54 it was 256 ci. I
The 337 ci flathead in the 49 Lincoln was more powerful than the Mercury flathead. The car was heavier though, but still should have been faster than some on this list. I would have left the 51 Hudson off the forties list. 49 Cadillac also could beat several on this list.
Yes, Buick 320" OHV 8 came out in 1936 and in the little Buick 2 door coupes would blow away all these other cars until the 1949 Olds & "Ca DILL ac" with new OHV V8s...
I swear this was narrated by a martian from china !

The Buick didn't have a V8 in 1949, it would have been an inline eight.
If that Pontiac came with a six, where did the extra two cylinders come from?
Thank you for your sincere feedback, I will improve it immediately to bring a better experience to you and your beloved audiences. Once again sincerely thank you.
Canadian Pontiacs were straight sixes.
Your information is very helpful. Thank you very much.@@bernieneufeld4297
I caught that one too. Seems like the first modern OHV Buick didnt come out until 1953. Seems like all Ponchos and Buick with an 8.....had a straight 8 with the valves in the block.
@@wrotenwasp - Buick 320" / 5.3L OHV 8 came out in 1936 and in the little Buick 2 door coupe would blow away all these other cars! Until the 1949 Olds & "Ca DILL ac" with new OHV V8s...

A 1948 Dodge with fuel injection? I’m stunned. That’s mechanical, not electronic, right?
One thing I believe I DO understand is that the computer speaking to us is very drunk.
Well, thank you for your comments to help me do better. That has been modified by me in my latest video. I will gradually edit old videos so that they have better quality.
Pontiac was a straight eight flathead powered car, although a flathead six was available very few pontiacs had the six. Fact is till 1955 the chevrolet only came with a six but it was a valve in head six. Most folks that wanted a 8 cylinder in the G M line bought the straight 8 Pontiac. The Buick did not have an V 8 cyl. motor till 1953 and in 53 that 322 CI motor was standard in a Roadmaster. In 1954 Buick offered a V8 in all models but the Buick Special and Super had a smaller (268 C I) V8 while the Century and Roadmaster had the (322 CI) V8 although the Super could be ordered with the larger 322 engine. The Buick Special only came with the 268 C I. None of those early cars came with fuel injection they all had Carburetors in one, two and 4 barrel configurations. The 1941 Buick straight eight came from the factory with two carburetors. Canillac was not available in a 6 cyl. The Chrysler line of cars were stodgy looking compared to the GM and Ford line of cars by 1949. Chrysler did not shake that "OLD" look till 1955. The only cars you got right were the V8 Mercury and 6 cyl. Hudson. The 51 Hudson came with twin H power that had two carbs from the factory. The Hudson won quite a few races back in 51/52.😀😀😀😀
Before 1950 or so Buicks had two different size block straight eights,both with overhead valves and "Dynaflash" pistons. The bigger engine was in the bigger Buicks and Centuries,some had "compound carburetion" and advertised the highest horsepower among production American cars. The smaller engines were in such as the Buick Special and there were different displacements made of it,I think some of them were 248 cubic inches. Big Buicks were mostly 320 cubic inches in the bigger block.
The bigger Buick engine got replaced with a V8 in the very early '50s,I think it was 322 cubic inches. The small straight eight soldiered on a couple more years or so in the smaller Buicks I understand,then it got replaced with a smaller bore/cored down version of the same block V8 that already lived in the big Buicks.
Nobody likes a show off my good sir. Please see yourself out

@@davidpowell3347 The first V8 in the Buick line was 1953, that 322 C I V 8 was only available in the Roadmaster That also was the first year for Power Steering in Buick also only in the Roadmaster. In 1953 the Special, Super and the Century still had the straight eights in both sizes. One may have been able to order the V8 in the Super or Century in 1953, I'm not sure about that, but never in the Special, the engine compartment (radiator to firewall) was smaller on the Special. The straight 8 Valve in head Dynaflash engines were discontinued in 1954. All Buicks in 1954 had the newer V8' in the large 322 CI With the larger 322 in the Roadmaster and Century and the Super and Special had a smaller CI V8 that was 268 CI. I may be confusing the 248 CI motor with the 268 CI. I have a 1949-1955 motors (How To Repair Any Car) book around here someplace, I'll look it up. I trust that original book not the internet. 😀😀😀

Yeah, FI was mechanical back then, and it was probably more common in aircraft power plants. The cars that had it were mostly European.
Thank you very much. You have very useful information.@@MichaelJohnson-dt8tv
if I remember correctly corvette had mechanical F I in 54. , Pontiac had it in 57 on the Starchief 389 V/8@@qmusclecars
Fuel injection on a 40s DeSoto? Surely you jest.
Thank you for your sincere feedback, I will improve it immediately to bring a better experience to you and your beloved audiences. Once again sincerely thank you.
Late 40s DeSotos were available with an early version of the Hemi. I could be wrong but it seems it was 331cid. One of my teachers had one. She was a little old lady, she used to crack us up by burning rubber out of the parking lot after school!
@@MichaelJohnson-dt8tv The Hemi wasn't introduced until 1951 and then only in Chryslers.
@@darrellfxdwg- I stand corrected. DeSoto didn’t get a Hemi until ‘52 and it was smaller than the ‘51 version in the Chryslers, @ 276.1cid. That teacher’s ride wasn’t as old as I thought it was; Hell, she probably wasn’t either!😋 But she’d get a little squeal in 1st, and a chirp in 2nd. All with “Fluid Drive”!
@@darrellfxdwg- And thanks for the Straight Skinny, Darrell. Some of those memories are starting to get a tad dim now!
Restoring an old muscle car back to its former glory must be such a satisfying feeling.

I love seeing muscle cars with bold racing stripes, spoilers, and custom details.
Creating muscle cars content for fans like you is extremely rewarding.
Corrections: The Olds 88 had a 303 CID V8......5 liters in today's terms. And the 0-60 time was in the 12 seconds bracket.
Thank you, I will correct the information to ensure more accuracy.
@@qmusclecars OK!
🥰🥰@@Marc816
The first fuel injection was a mechanical system on the GullWing in the early 50's which in reality was a rebodied Grand Prix car. A Nash with 112 HP going 125 mph? Only off a cliff. What a joke. The 49 olds Rocket with 135 HP doing 0to 60 in 10 seconds? Yeah right. In 48 the Caddy with the flathead V8 was good for 0 to 60 in 20 seconds. In 49 any car that could do 0 to 60 in 14 seconds was really fast.
Thank you for your sincere feedback, I will improve it immediately to bring a better experience to you and your beloved audiences. Once again sincerely thank you.

THE FIRST CHEVY V-8 WAS FROM 0 TO 50 IN 15 SECONDS!....////
I think there was a rare Olds 88 that had the V8 and a manual 3 speed in '49 and/or '50,it would be interesting to see if anyone at the time tested them on the same track for 0 to 60 and for the quarter mile (vs the Hydramatic model) , I am curious as to whether Olds made any more cars with their flathead 6 after the V8 went into production.
Hemmings came out with an article that said that a 1961 Mercedes 300 SL more or less (actually slightly more,bit better quarter mile #s)equaled the performance of the 1961 Chrysler 300 car. But the test results quoted came from different period magazines and were not at the same track. I imagine that on a real rally/road course the Mercedes (with skilled drivers) would have eaten the Chrysler's lunch. Still hard to imagine that little overhead cam 6 outrunning the big 413 with dual carburetion but the Mercedes was a much smaller lighter more agile car. Much more expensive also.
The Studebaker Champion did NOT have a V8. The six cylinder is clearly visible. The Commanders were the models with eight cylinder engines. Maybe not in the Fourties though.
Thank you, I will improve my video so it has better quality.
3:45 "advanced electronic fuel injection"?? Well, that really would have been "advanced" for 1949. But, alas, DeSoto didn't offer EFI until 1957, when it shipped a few hundred cars with Bendix Electrojector systems (later reworked into the Bosch D-Jetronic). The cars were not reliable with 1950s electronics, so the system was discontinued.
I'm sorry for that, I will change it in the next videos.
I’m fanboying hard seeing this turtle deck 1947 Hudson Commodore!
🤣😍😍
That '49 Buick Roadmaster is absolutely stunning.
Yes, thank you. Have a nice day.
The '49 Pontiac Chieftain was a "sports car" and '49 Mopars had fuel injection ?? Those cars were anything but sporty and were slow as molasses

damm a i !!! can't pronounce cadillac??
why bother ...
.
Sorry sir.
I had two cars designed for leaded gasoline, and I never had any problems with either one of them. Dad had many, and all he needed to do was routine tune ups and fluid changes. No stuck valves with leaded gasoline on any of those.
How wonderful. You have had interesting experiences with vintage muscle cars.
No doubt. All gas had lead before about the early 70s as a "lubricant" and for high compression, to prevent detonation. Never heard of the stuck valves thing. As you said, a tune up every 2-3 years, fluid changes, 100,000 miles wasnt out of the question. I dont think no lead and low lead came out until 1971,
@@wrotenwasp Amoco premium was no lead at least all the way back through the 1960's; I had a model airplane (made by Cox), the instructions specified no lead gasoline, and Amoco was the only one. Stuck valves were rare, unless the engine was already having a problem. More likely was leaking valve guides, causing accelerated oil use. My '66 mustang had 160,000 miles on it in 1977 when I sold it; didn't burn any oil but did leak it from the crank seals. Dad's 66 Fairlane and later Coronet both ran in the upper 100,000 mile ranges and all were still running well when he sold them. The big problem back then wasn't the mechanicals, but the bodies just rusted away. It was common to sell the cars because the floors, drip rails on the roof seams, bottoms of doors/quarter panels/fenders were just falling apart.
Actually, the lead additive acted as a lubricant and cushion for valves and valve guides.
Thank you. Do you own any of them?@@crankychris2
That lowered 1940 Packard Super Eight has me feeling all sorts of ways!
It does!
No 1948 Dodge had fuel injection.
Full of mistakes. Many images do not correspond to what is being said.
Thank you, I will improve my video so it has better quality.
I could watch muscle cars all day with their iconic looks and incredible performance.
It fills my heart with happiness to assemble tasty muscle car morsels for your viewing pleasure.
Say "miles per hour" not m p h. No liters, cubic inches were how these care were sold. We really don't use the metric system in the U.S. We never did when these cars were made. "Gradually recover after ww2"? They could sell every car they could build for the first few years after the war ended. 6:20 What are you saying??? Lots of similar examples where you have a mouth full of marbles. Bad bad bad! 10:40 again the economy had recovered as the U.S. entered WW2. It was recovering in 1938.

I cant handle seeing this perfect 1948 Tucker Torpedo - Im geeking out!
❤️❤️❤️❤️
Although only about 51 tuckers made, I think they did have a 160-180 HP converted to liquid cooling helicopter engine in the rear... powerful for the times... and 5 speed tranny?
Ok gotta call you on this one. The gas was pretty much all loaded in 49. Non detergent oil was the main culprit of stuck valves. Basically clogging motor up w crude oil...
I'm sorry for that, I will change it in the next videos.
I’m glad you clarified this. I’m 74 and although I’m not a mechanic or any sort of engineer, the leaded gasoline claim just didn’t seem to fit.

Muscle cars take me back to a wild, unbridled period of automotive history!
I poured my heart into this muscle cars video, so I appreciate you watching.
I admire the bold, uncompromising American style that muscle cars embody.
Seeing these muscle cars through your perspective in the comments is enlightening.
The sight of those big, beefy 1940s muscle machines roaring down the road just gave me chills - what dreams are made of!
I love that you viewers have created a little muscle car community right here on my channel!
None of these are "muscle cars". Muscle cars are a type of vehicle manufactured predominantly in the 60's and 70's. They are 2 door vehicles, with 4 door counterparts. The marketing was aimed at emphasizing power and speed over anything else.
The cars above were marketed with emphasis on comfort or convenience, or on meeting basic needs. It's true enough that some were designed with a NASCAR type racetrack in mind (The Hudson, obviously, would be one), but the buying public weren't prioritizing speed and power, yet. It wasn't until a little later, when hot rod culture became impossible to ignore, that companies began creating muscle cars. Pony Cars, such as the Mustang, Camaro, or Charger, began to show up as well, with power options similar or equal to the muscle cars.
At the time that the above vehicles were built, things like heaviness, fuel economy, and a low ride height would not have been viewed as a downside. Indeed, low ride height was desirable.
It's amusing that the stiff ride of the Hornet was listed as a downside. Modern cars all ride like they've got zero suspension and wooden wheels, even the former luxury brands like Lincoln and Cadillac. And the marketing departments practically use the horrible ride quality as a selling point. 😂
A personal peeve of mine is the large diameter wheels with ultra low profile tires that look like rubber bands wrapped around the wheels. Belong on the racetrack but not the road. Too delicate for real world road hazards and curbs. No rim protection,either against the curb or against a pothole (bottoms out and cracks the wheel where a real tire would just get a scuff)
@@davidpowell3347 I agree. I hate that wheel/tire combo. Aside from what you've already mentioned, they rather defeat the purpose of pneumatic tires.
Can you help me rate the audio quality of the latest video? Thank you very much.
That is true and even race cars do not use these needlessly low profile what drivers consider "race tires". Often they actually either require an elaborate suspension to make up for no dampening by the tires and or cause the tires to have less grip as they bounce off uneven pavement. @@davidpowell3347
@magnificenthonky- When I was a little dude, my dad had a ‘51 Hudson Pacemaker. Probably a 232 flathead 6, it had a “3 on the tree”, it more than held its own in the Stoplight Gran Prix. I remember Dad speaking wistfully about something called a Terraplane. Later came to realize he was steeped in Leadfoot Hudson tradition. Cats like Marshall Teague and some other notables were rampaging around the country at the time, whupping the skivvies off of everybody with their low-slung 308cid flathead 6 powered Hornets; “They might get us in the straights with their V-8s, But their asses belong to US in the curves!” So it was just a matter of time before Pop was gonna spring for one. He wound up with a ‘54 Hornet Special. It had the 308, surprised the Hell out of everyone when he didn’t get the “Twin-H Power” option, actually 2 single bbl carbs, but with an intake manifold that was supposed to be so efficient that that setup would surpass the performance of a 4 bbl. I always wondered about that. Also, he got it with the GM sourced “Dual Range Hydramatic” that everybody and his Aunt Hattie was using, so my mom could drive it. Never seemed that hot off the line to me. In fact, the old Pacemaker seemed quicker; it would burn rubber with some clutch slipping. (I know, from watching the old man do it!) That Hornet had a kind of firm but supple ride. It was comfortable, it never seemed harsh. Of course, the tires back in those days kinda left something to be desired too. But around that time, V-8s were becoming more common, and it was increasingly common for Dad’s doors to be unceremoniously blown off at stoplights, and he would be heard grumbling under his breath about “Twin-H Power” and something he called a “7X”… (which I later learned was Hudson’s factory prepared flat-out Race engine, running from about 210hp to some that were claimed to have 250-275hp. The latter probably being a stretch.) But, Man! I was an impressionable kid, but Those were the Days! I think Hudson finally came out with a V-8 in ‘55, but it wasn’t such a much. And Dad said by then, Hudson, by any other name, was still just a Nash anyway! He felt like Hudson had lost its character, but really progress and the realities of the auto industry had caught up with Hudson, it was just a matter of time before Nash kicked the bucket too. And by that, I mean the concept of Nash. They became AMC, Dad got a ‘58 Rambler…! With an OHV 232 6. He Never regretted regretting buying that car! LOL (He should have gotten the Rebel! But it was His money!) I remember all of that with fondness. Just thought I’d share it with my fellow Gear Junkies. 😋
What is wrong with the information of top speed and costs? It sounds like you have a mouthful of marbles!
Thank you, I will improve my video so it has better quality.
I think The Voice over AI ruined a otherwise ok Video, the Fact that almost all the Cars mentioned did 0-60 in 14 Sec was Crazy and the mention of FUEL Injection was about 29 years too soon.......??????
I think the Dodge pictured (my father had one much like that)had 0-60 in about 30 seconds and top speed might have been less than 80 Fluid Drive although a convenience and probably made the car feel smoother probably cost a few more seconds added to the 0-60.

It warms my soul that fellow gearheads worldwide tune in to indulge their need for speed.
I’m so grateful you compiled that footage of souped-up 1940s cars - really warms the heart of this muscle car nut.
I’m overjoyed creating videos for fellow vintage iron enthusiasts who understand this incurable affliction!
Watching those souped-up 1940s rides felt like taking a trip back in time; thanks for letting me see those vintage muscle cars shine.
Having fellow horsepower heads subscribe and come on this journey with me means so much.
These magnificent 40s American iron beasts have me so jazzed up!
😍🍺😍😍
9:17 I love the '58 Impala in the background.
Do you want me to reproduce that car?
Im so thankful I got to see those incredible 1940s muscle cars in action - the power and speed of those classics is really something special.
Seeing familiar names in the comments section feels like reuniting with good friends around our favorite cars.
Fuel injection on some of the cars you mentioned? Better do some research.
Mippi H?
Sorry sir.
The buick and pontiac were straight 8's per your own picture.
Yes, thanks for watching.
keelomowwer H between that the and the pronunciation of the prices, (sounds like Drunk Joe (Brandon) made up crap about engines that did not exist at the time, talking about how using leaded gas was a downside (as if it were difficult to find leaded gasoline in the late 40"s, this video is a really bad joke.
Thank you for your sincere feedback, I will improve it immediately to bring a better experience to you and your beloved audiences. Once again sincerely thank you.
Almost all gasoline sold in the era was leaded to some extent. As time went on lead content went up,octane went up,and the car companies increased their compression ratios and made their cam grinds more aggressive and improved the breathing of intake and exhaust manifolds. The new overhead valve V8s took to this much better than the old flathead designs,especially the Hemi family engines that debuted with the Chrysler Firepower of 1951. If I am correct only the Imperial and New Yorker got the Firepower in '51,I think the Windsor continued with a Six for a couple more years and finally got a non-hemi V8 of its own.
This guy is NUTS! My '49 Packard Custom 8 would have topped them all , except for the Olds 88?
Do you own a muscle car?
I own a 1936 JKS boat tail speedster with 5 sp. trans.@@qmusclecars
Nice presentation, but one needs to remember that all cars needed leaded fuel until the late 60's. One needed to clean the spark plugs every 3000 miles and grind the valves every year or so.
I'm grateful to all who love classic muscle cars as much as I do.
So much is wrong.
Thank you for your sincere feedback, I will improve it immediately to bring a better experience to you and your beloved audiences. Once again sincerely thank you.
YOUR AI VOICE NEEDS A GREAT DEAL MORE WORK.....IT COMES CLOSE TO BEING UNINTELIGEABLE ........EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO LISTEN TO .
Sorry for that. Thank you for your feedback, I will fix it in the next video.
This video should have been titled "The 10 Quickest Muscle Cars of the "Late" 1940's! Essentially, every car mentioned,
was either a '48 or '49 version, or basically PRE-1950's cars! I was a kid then & remember most of these vehicles as being
somewhat 'clunky' looking! Only the 'futuristic' 1948-9 Studebaker & the radically modern 1949 Ford (not even mentioned)
should have been considered as "Muscle Cars"! (My uncle had a '48 Nash & I never considered it any kind of "Muscle Car"!)
Wishing you pleasant experiences and wonderful memories.
Nice video. Some errors in the info but a good looking collection. The retro rods were good examples in what can be had with some work. BTW The Pontiac had an 8 cylinder...count the spark plugs. The Olds was my favorite
Thank you, I will improve my video so it has better quality.
06:13 (The 1948 Dodge Custom) was equipped with an advanced fuel-injection 6-cylinder engine." Poppycock! There was no such thing. This entire video is rife with errors, not to mention that awful computer-generated voice.
We take this matter seriously, have learned from it, and promise to rectify these flaws in upcoming videos. We hope that our viewers will continue to be patient and accompany us on this journey. Our constant goal is to produce the highest quality videos. Thank you all very much!
A ton of incorrect info ..............

Desoto only offered fuel injection in 57 I believe.
Yes.
I don't consider a straight 6 with a little over a 100 horsepower to be a muscle car. The true muscle car era is thought to begin in the early 60's with the advent of 400 ci or better engines.
Thanks for your great information. I will dig into more information for the next videos. Let's explore powerful muscle cars with us.
1949 olds 88 the first muscle car!
Yes, thanks@@390rambler
Nice collection however has anyone else ever heard of the Desoto and Dodge having "Fuel Injection" in the 1940s ?
Column a confusion here. I'm sorry for that. Thank you for the reminder.
Had a 49 Hudson 8 recently. Quality better than any old car I've ever owned, but by today's standard driving in today's traffic was difficult.the 8 worked too hard to maintain 60 on the highway
Your information is very helpful. Can you give me some ideas to improve video quality?
I yearn for that innocent early muscle car era before OPEC oil crises and federal emissions controls.
Your information is very helpful. Thank you very much.
In Los Angeles County Fire and Police used Nash Interceptor and had a good performance history. PLUS the comfort factor too.
Thank you. Do you own any of them?
No but LA COUNTY Museum has two restored with the dual carb packages.One Fire the other Sheriff.@@qmusclecars
Muscle cars look so garish to me with their flashy stripes, scoops and spoilers.
Having people along for the ride as I geek out over muscle cars means so much.
Digging The Two NASHS , In 1947 NASH Was The Indy 500 Pace Car, Also The 49 Merc Was Suppose To Be A FORD And The 49 FORD Was Suppose To Be The Merc. Any Comments On That?????
Well, thank you for your comments to help me do better. That has been modified by me in my latest video. I will gradually edit old videos so that they have better quality.
The robot audio was bad but hearing the American engines from the 1940's described in liters and speed in kph was even worse (for us old folk). When giving the engine specs slow down a bit. Giving the measurements in imperial & metric units in rapid succession was a bit confusing
Thanks for your great information. I will dig into more information for the next videos. Let's explore powerful muscle cars with us.
How often do you see a 1941 Willys Coupe this clean? Im pumped!
😍😍😍
What a croc . I hate when "kids" describe the cars I grew up with.
The original videos had audio errors. We have fixed that. Thank you for always supporting our channel.
@@qmusclecars It's cool. I'm a certified car nut. born in 1958. My dad was a car nut too. So I grew up around some wild special ordered cars
Great. You have a burning passion for cars.@@390rambler
Let's be realistic. By today's standards these cars were dogs and don't deserve to be called muscle cars. As far as your comment on leaded gas, all cars used leaded gas until the 80s and it was phased out completely in 1996..
Yes, there is a huge mistake here. We have seriously reviewed this issue. Surely they will be repaired immediately. Thank you very much for helping us see our mistakes.
I'd say ditch those Cragar Mags on the Olds 88, stock items look better on older cars
How do you feel about today's video? Please help me evaluate the quality.
Numbers narration was difficult to understand. Good topic but lost the good stuff to a mumbling computer.
Thank you for your sincere feedback, I will improve it immediately to bring a better experience to you and your beloved audiences. Once again sincerely thank you.
whoa. too many mistakes. you show cars with the wrong engine. the buick is a straight 8 not a v8. this is what is wrong with this medium. please don't take thee video as a reference material...
Thank you, I will improve my video so it has better quality.
Sounds like a robot reading the comments, talking about electronic fuel injection what a load of bull.
We take this matter seriously, have learned from it, and promise to rectify these flaws in upcoming videos. We hope that our viewers will continue to be patient and accompany us on this journey. Our constant goal is to produce the highest quality videos. Thank you all very much!
Its unfortunate the once great muscle car makers have turned to bland economy cars instead nowadays.
Thank you so much.
Does Jay Leno know you are using his video?
Good video of the first post WW 2 cars, the '46 and '47's were just rebadged 1941 models.
Thanks for the info
You need to do something about your narration , some of it is total gibberish .🇬🇧
Yes, that's right. Thank you so much.
If only wed preserved more of those classically beautiful muscle cars when new instead of neglecting survivors.
Thank you for always supporting my channel. Wish you always cheerful and happy.
The title was good the way it’s laid out socks made it a whole minute.
Yes, there is a huge mistake here. We have seriously reviewed this issue. Surely they will be repaired immediately. Thank you very much for helping us see our mistakes.
The blower whine sounds awesome coming from muscle cars.
Thanks.
Driving muscle cars seems like a waste when they spend more time broken than on the road.
Seeing those view numbers rise tells me I’m not alone in my muscle car mania!
At that time engines were in cubic inches! I still wish they were.
Thank you for always supporting my channel. Wish you always cheerful and happy.
Had to stop watching, Robovoice was too painful to hear. Hire some teenager if you have to!
Thank you, I will improve my video so it has better quality.
