Early ford v-8 ( itis) ,caught it age 4. My uncle came out of the old farm house & sitting inder that old 300 year old oak tree was his '50 ford black cpe. Thase huge white wall tires fascinated me . He patted me on the head & got in . I watched him ,door still open turn on the key& push that chrome starter button. That sweet mellow sound of that v'8 6 volt starter & that flat head v-8 coming to life! Throbing thru those dual exahust ( SMITTYS) ! I STOOD THERE AS HE DROVE AWAY, THAT THROB! I HAVE NEVER BEEN THE SAME ! STILL BUILDING & DRIVEING THEM TODAY 69 YEARS LATER. STILL LIVING THE DREAM, KEN.

Early ford age 4 . Mmm

How or why should these road trips have ended? Also pianoforever. Some of the most precious content on KZbin. Can someone please answer?

James, Hope you didn't change. You're too much perfection to ever change.

Miss the father & son team. However, what a car!!!

Where are you and James? Miss you guys.

That Ford is an absolute dream. If it weren't for a few rattles, that are easily addressed by someone like you, one cannot imagine they're riding in a 90 year-old car. As with any car, cushion everything in the trunk too. Never knew the greatness of the V-8 Ford, until now. The front seat is certainly substantial and plush. The gentleman that owned it, could not have sold it to a more deserving family. Since I discovered James, several weeks ago, I wondered what his parents must be like. Now I see why he always has the million-dollar-smile. Any kid has to be happy and proud, around someone like you. I hope we can meet the Mrs.,in your video one day. What a legendary family. Huge Blessings go out to the Shawcross family.😇💛

I LIKE THE DRIVING, especially in that fantastic Ford, which I'm truly enjoying.. Personally, I love your camera positioning. I can drive on roads like that, endlessly. BTW, I ride a green 1954 Schwinn Phantom and drive a 56 Packard. Keep up the great work.

I love the realistic perspective, of actually looking through the windshield. This is the closest I've ever felt to actually touring in a Ford V-8. Just love it, more than anyone else's touring video.

What a car, what a great ride, what an awesome guy. I've been in the car hobby for decades, and never seen a video so nicely done. James (and his dad) are awesome. The car runs so beautiful. Has to be the finest original Ford V-8 still in existence. You guys are SO MUCH CLASS!!!

The coolest guy on you-tube. What a great speaking voice too. So nice!!!

I'm 91, born in '33, this a '35 model...just ain't 97 years old. Kid needs to learn a lot more about this car but at least he tries, needs a guy like me that's been there done it to teach him. Fun to see a kid try at least, we need a lot more like him. I've owned a '34, a '35 and a '36. Now I'm back to the Model A.

We miss you kid. Hope all is going well with you and your Dad. Much love from South Africa.

Charles, appreciate the video on Blountville, four generation Blountvillian here, if you ever pass back through or need some info on the town just let me know.

If y’all ever make it out west you should visit Marfa, Texas. Mystery lights, where the movie “Giant” was filmed and the Paisano Hotel. Beautiful area.

What a wonderful car. For the drive segment it would be nice to have a second camera mounted so the driver can be seen controlling the car

I live close to the Tweetsie. Lots of people use it, and I recently became aware of an extension plan.

Really nice video. My dad’s first car. He bought it new. A green 35 coupe. Thanks for letting me see what it would be like to have ridden in it. My dad did many trips to Florida from NJ in it in the 1930s. I am the original owner of a 2003 Grand Marquis that has the potential to be a super surviver like this one. So far, so good. Just need to check back in about 65 years to see if it made it.

At 8:52 that is not a grab handle. It is there to hang a blanket on. Passengers could retrieve the blanket to place on their laps if it got too cold. Cars of the 1920's and 30's mostly didn't have a heater.

The carter county jail is the upstairs part of that building the Ground level is actualy where they hold court Now.

My young dude we are not called the volunteer state because we have no draft.The state of Tennessee had become known as the Volunteer State when a large number of volunteers fought in the War of 1812. By the start of the Mexican-American War in 1846, 30,000 Tennessee volunteers responded to the secretary of war’s call for 2,800, clinching the state’s nickname.

She pronounced her name call dell

Her hair was totally white and she wore it in a French twist

Carry gun , don't get robbed.

Nice overview of the trail! Thanks…

A little hint-mount your GoPro inside of the car. It would be nice to see the top of the dash and such.

William S Thomas, my great grandfather, Bought THE MANSION from Landon Carter's great niece 1865ish. He owned a home & lumber mill up river married Jennie had 3 children in the mansion. . Henderson Folsom Thomas was my grandfather, wife Minnie. Had 4 children. William S Thomas (my Father) 1913-1994 (not 1990) Head & Foot Stones. Lt ColWillaim S Thomas III my brother & SIL (still living) Jeremy Nathaniel was my nephew 1993-2021 yes grilling & kayaking. His father John Daniel 1955-2023. Maybe ask the locals how to pronounce. Before filming Watauga Wa taa guh. TVA 1940's generates on different schedules Vusitor's center TN acquired The Mansion 1974 Renovated were mud bricks The Original Windows Were Replaced "to protect the woodwork & paintings inside" Steps were stone Basement Original stones & door Garden added reminder it was a farm.. Also had slave houses along the west side of the house. Barns were along the sidewalk to our cemetery 🤔 (why did you continue in when you read Thomas 1993, 1969 )

8:00 The car was built at Ford River Rouge plant in Detroit.

KIA😂🤣

She will be 90 next year.

Ford Phaeton.

Very funny and reasonant oldman! He sings what he sees. Be healthy and live long, sir!

Do you have to double clutch a 35 Ford?

So good to see young folks involved in this important sector of keeping the American automotive history vibrant. Good work young man!

9:42 that old couple crossing the street loll

I disagree with your comment about people moving in. While it's true that you can't stop people from coming, the natives do not want it. Outsiders tend to dilute the local flavor, even if they share the same politics. People from the South really don't want northerners to move in as they're not compatible with the local ways, customs and belief systems.

Cemetery surrounded by apartments and concrete......sad

I love the brief moments of History that you give before the video. And for the fact that this is a travel video with highlights of places you're visiting. Also not a real estate video. Thank you for your time and effort and providing beautiful scenery around Tennessee.

Thank you for this video It was very entertaining and interesting. The one thing I noticed when you were showing the buildings, is that there is no graffiti on any of the buildings in Johnson City Tennessee. And the streets are clean there's no trash in the street. Which is amazing I think it's wonderful to be able to live in a city with no graffiti or trash.

Wow you’re damn brave for taking that thing on the highway

You were obviously visiting on a Saturday. That alarm always goes off exactly at noon on Saturday, just to make sure the alarm system is working. Since it happens every week, everyone knows it is not a real emergency, just a test.

Thank you x100. One lesson at a time. I have my Grandpa's 1935 5 window...original. Every view you have, I look closely. I use castrol. I see your is 40w. I'm using GTX 20-50. But the best lesson lets me actually get under the engine my self, and not take it to a lift in a filling station.

The Nash Metro is my favourite car in the museum. Made in England 30 or so miles from where your Morgan was made.

my friend is a Thomas and that grave yard is her family her brother lives in the house next door. I am very much A Elizabethton lady always love my home town. I still live here

The one question you didn't ask Scott was . . "what's that thing you're wearing on your head" 🤣

Valvoline 20w50 racing oil. It has high zinc easy to find.

Awesome to see a young bloke like myself into old cars of this era along with an interest in history. Good on ya! 👍😁 Beautiful car! 😍

That is 1935 Ford Convertible Sedan. My father restored V-8 Fords in the 1960's when I was a kid and he had one just like that only painted black. You don't see many of those.

I saw a hood of a ford for 10hrs

Camera was a good choice. Wide, always in focus. What was it?
