About 1 hr 35 min our host was guessing a ute as a 40s model but those wrap around corner windscreens were never perfected to the mid 50s and that was a ute so it would have been a 55-56 Ford Mainline also going by the side flashing just forward of the rear wheel. But a very good vid down memory lane.

I think I know what happened to that muffler. Back fire yes! Likely not from timing, not enough fuel in the exhaust to cause an explosion. With a carb and manual trans, going down the road at highway speed and your motor stalls for ignition problem, takes you a bit to realize your dropping speed, radio turned up! All that fuel is being pumped into the exhaust. I had it happen to me as a teenager in my 74 Gremlin . Pulled over, fixed my coil wire, went to start it up and BANG! I thought a shotgun went off. Got out to figure out what happened. Seen rocks blown away around the tail pipe. Looked underneath , my new muffler was swelled up😂😂😂 That's when I figured it out 😅
