You got way more than we did. We had a light dusting and the angel on Edna's hood had icicle nipples this morning

Thats a nice collection of cars, especially the 59 but I am quite biased! Six is not excessive, just what floats your boat! For context, I was a kid from a London council estate (social housing, perhaps similar to American 'Projects' possibly) and left school with no qualifications bu through a combination of hard work and good luck I now find myself living in rural Ireland where my wifes family are from and my driveway is blessed with a 2005 Mercedes C220 CDI (daily) 1989 Range Rover Classic (functional toy 😅) 1989 Land Rover 110 / Defender (again, functional toy) and a 1999 Triumph Speed Triple (barely used as the weather here is ATROCIOUS!) Theres still three cars and a motorbike on my dream list and moving here has taught me that I can actually dream, the Defender WAS on that list and is now ticked off! I'm pacing myself watching your 1959 videos and Hopefully one day I'll have my own 59 on the driveway

Slick design, if Satan drove a car it'll be this specific one due to the sinister looking tail fins!

Oh my. The rust in the door and fender bothers me. It will take allot of work.

hmm, usually there is a notify.... I have only joined one other chat and that was on old vintage trailers.... Chris, I want to take my 1985 vanagon camper with subaru engine DONE this year and take it out west, and to the 1000 Islands. In addition, I want to get the 1956 Cadillac Coupe DeVille on the road and get the 1977 Eldorado Biarritz with Astroroof back on the road (a bit like your 59 in terms of fighting me). I bought it from a FORD guy, and he hated the Eldo. He said, that car fights me on everything. ..3 done this year, That's the goal in 2025 - minimum.

Sedannete

How much are you asking for it?

Look how it fills that garage bay ! Good luck !

ALOT of people say worsh Instead of WASH . Up north, they say "WATER" Down south they WOWTER

My local guy who worked on the 62 beetle restoration, we start with a short contract and payment of 2500, once that is spent, we sit back down and discuss plan forward and options, and make another payment, say 1500 ?? and he burned through that too and then we sat down a 3rd time. He told me that on a 65 impala, no metal work, the paint job was 15K. Im guessing you found a big quote ? Lots of these people want 100 a hour. This cadillac seems to have the typical rust I have seen on a local car, it had been repaited from the side body molding down and it was bubbling.. The seller was sleazy, he said he restored cars during winter since summer he, was in the paving business....and he said he did not know if the cadillac had had work, I said Oh come on now, even I, can see the tape line.

That's a Big Deal, that all four cigarette lighters work ! Shows the workmanship in the old gal 😉

Did not realize cracked blocks can be an issue. You are lucky 🍀.

So thankful i lived in a time where you could sit and look at a mile long hood out of the windshield with a mean a$$ hood scoop in the middle.

Sweet sounding Mustang, it makes me miss my Mach1 even more! Nice truck also.

I would love to buy the 59 as is.....

Regarding the visor, i found that by using a Dremel with a cutting disc between the area where the screw goes through to tighten the visor, you are widening the area with the cutting disc, now the two sides can be tightened To hold the visor up. Nice thing is since you are grinding the two insides of the metal bracket, no damage is done or shows!

You can have as many as you like. I used to not like to answer that question, now I take pleasure in saying it. 16!

If I drove I would love that mustang I love the soft bucket seats I would probably be squeezing the cheese on the soft bucket driver seat if I eat alot of gassy foods!

I think it’s awesome to own so many cars!.Makes life more enjoyable and exciting!.😎

My swim team friend asked if I knew how many cars a guy needs. "Just one more," he said.🙄

Wizard had a flex in for serious issues, not sure what, but you may want to check it out. I liked the flex, thought it looked like an American Mini, you know, normal size. The carnival looks cool.

Years ago at work, Ron & Casey asked me, just how many cars (VW's) do you have ? Brain said xx, brain said, can't tell them xx, that's crazy. Brain said, Led Zepplin, Many is a number that only leaves you guessing. That is what I said, "many. and Many is a number that leaves you guessing."... it's well past 6, and since then, I think I got rid of 6. That mustang is a very pretty color. I had a 67 that sat for 40 years ! Yes, it ran when I sold it.

I had a 69 Mach1 back in the early 70's, blue with gold stripes, 351 4 speed. Put in a go-fast cam & headers on, it was a pocket rocket. Your Mustang brought back some good memories. New subscriber also!

I had a wire ground and fry the starter on Edna last month. Luckily i had another one to swap in. Now i gotta fix the one that fried

Wrong diagnosis. I have a 49 Ford that I converted to a one wire alternator, and it shows that it is charging just great at 450 RPM. Alternators are noted for putting out a good charge at lower idle speeds. On some applications you will have to rev the engine a little upon initial start after it has set for a several days. The exciter is activated by a magnetic field, and that field gets weaker after setting a while. On my 49 Ford I wired in a momentary switch that excites the alternator on initial startup so I'm not revving a cold engine. This setup has been trouble free for several years now. I've been building rods and customs for more than 50 years now. I believe I know what I'm talking about.

Barca chik

Worsh?

That looks like a hard top to me , doesn't a sedan have a bar when the front and rear windows are down?

I LOVE IT, I OWN 1, NOTHING BUT CLASS AND SHOWY, AND OSTENTATIOUS, WHAT. WHEN CADILLAC WAS CADILLAC AND THEY WERE ROLLING THEM OUT. WHAT, IT CANT GET ANY BETTER. IT SCREAMS LOOK AT ME. YOU HAVE NO POSTS IN BETWEEN THE DOORS. SO YOU CAN SEE EVERYTHING BEHIND YOU ON THE FREEWAY. LOVE IT.

Not smart showing the exhaust start up. Duhhhhh

Fascinating.

Best looking Mustang ever! 1969

Friggin trickle charge on the batteries are usually the biggest thing? The truth is with old cars, they don't like sitting, you gotta get them out on the road st least a couple times a month

Need more videos like these

need to light your videos better. Can't see what's in the dark.

Looks great. One of the best Pretty Nina's (Patina) F1 I have seen.

The one next to the cab is upside down.

Not fixed, just covered up...disappointing

I’ve been following your journey, glad it was an easy fix. You included my 59 flattop in your cars and coffee video a few weeks ago, and I hope you keep your Caddy!

Good to hear that it was a simple fix chris 👍

Hey! I've written you before. I have the 1952 Ford Pickup and a 1958 Cadillac DE Ville. I also bought a 1959 Cadillac Deville, 2 door recently. 1 st thing I did was replace all the hoses, water pump carburetor full tune up. It had most other things replaced, gas tank sending unit, brakes. I have had it all summer and nothing went bad. I'm now waiting! On my other cars, I'm always waiting! But there in all parades, weddings, proms, local car shows. And the pick up is good for hauling a new stove, lumber, helping people move. I also have a 1966 2 door DE Ville, that's my tank, runs good all the time, I drive it alot. I have a nice big barn, heated, and a lift. Most of my friends use the lift more than I do. I love to putter around with them all. Wash, wax, oil changes. New hoses!!!!! I'm retired, and it gives me something to do. I have bought a lot of extra parts, and I have parts cars, and one for the truck 2 flat head v 8 s just in case. Well good luck, and I'm glad it was just a hose. Mark

Runs really good

Looks like you’re converted to 12 volts . The 6 volt system is Positive ground, if your 12 volt system is not also changed to negative ground and you jump it thinking negative ground the diodes in the alternator are blown immediately. One wrong move that way costs you an alternator. Once you get clear on 7:35 all that those alternators are the easiest to get, you could even carry a spare.

A paper filter resembling a toilet paper roll goes in that canister.

That commercial oil drain is a nice touch. You may never have occasion to do it but the whole thing could come out to remove sludge accumulation..

Chris. Been following you for a few years as I also have a 59 and a few other classics. Almost shed a tear on this post. 😢. What ever you do, no regrets. Hope you make the right decision for you.

What tire size did you use by chance ? Getting my mother in laws 52 ford f1 up and going , currently almost out of the woods where it sat for 30 years but these tires aren’t helping me at all 😂

I have a picture of my boys washing the 55 or should I say outside playing the hose, and pranking each other while we were supposed to be washing the 55. It is one of my favorite pictures of the younger son going to spray the older son with the hose. That was many years ago already. That's a good dad teaching them to take care of a car and spending time together.

Can’t be that cold , you’re wearing shorts. And that was a storm ? Looks more like a dusting.

I have a 1985 vanagon has been an 8 year project. Thousands of dollars, hundred's of hours, and 4 engines all to go 600 miles and still not done. Refrigerator not installed, sunrooof skylight broken, cabinets lose, heat seems to be :on" even with levers closed, axle noise, and pulsing brakes and so many distractions if's hard to get anything done ! -- having said this, when the time is right you will know it. I say sleep on it - maybe all winter and then decide. I hope to have one someday. I kinda of like the 6 windows, not the flat top or the coupe. I went to the cadillac grand nationals this past June and a 59 2D has great lines. IDK, I have a driveway full of dreams, you at least are making progress.
