I went to a summer camp in New Hampshire that had 3 greenbriers, he said 9 passenger, in kid transport mode it was 4 kids per rear seats and 3 people in the front seat for a total of 11. Bye the way of course no seat belts. Being a summer camp the greenbriers spent the winters on blocks in various buildings. Only draw back to that was mice llked to build nest in the fan shrouds. Being air cooled that would have been fatal for the engine, if the engines were started an run for so each of the greenbriers had to have the top of the fan shrouds removed and the the mouse nest removed yes the tried moth balls and decon. If I remember correctly the camp got its first 1962, and when I visited the camp with my family i 1978 the frist greenbrier was still in service. Nice to take a ride in one again, lots of happy memories of those years.

Hi Chuck, I’ll be riding in this airplane next Saturday June 15 in Olathe Kansas. I’m very excited, I’ve never flown in a vintage aircraft.
@RideswithChuck18 күн бұрын
You are in for the ride of your life. Most people think of the B-17 when it comes to vintage bombers. The B-25 was a bomber but it was also used as a fighter. The B-25 can be a very aggressive airplane. If you suffer from motion sickness as I do, pure ginger pills can fix you up. Good luck on your ride.

We had one of these when I was a kid - ours was a ‘50 rather than ‘51. It was in 1960 - my dad bought it well-used for his commute to work while my mom drove the ‘59 Ford Galaxie which was new. Definitely preferred these over their “sister” Pontiacs and Buicks. The Oldsmobiles and Cadillacs of the same era looked OK. That said, however, I thought the ‘49-‘51 Fords looked better, since they had got rid of the old bulged fenders look which made the Fords sleeker than the GM products of that era. BTW, I did NOT like the Mercurys of that same era. Big blobby and bulbous. Back then, there was less commonality between Ford & Mercury than between Chevy, Pontiac, and Olds.

You're not done. Chevy 225? It will behave very much like the actual Ford V6 if you put in a fundamental four cycle camshaft. I've built them for two cars and they have a Chitty/early car sound and drive wonderful. You can then command (adjust) the tranny to shift up at low speeds with no consequences. Renault NN pleasure chasis cars sometimes had a strikingly Chitty body, but with doors.

Great video! What a classic! And thanks for posting!! I can see one of the reasons why dear ole Dad loved his Buick's. He woulda been 16 in 1932 so I'm sure he saw and read about this in magazines as he loved cars. I do know my grandparents, his folks, had some make of Buick during his childhood but not that one haha! However after WWII my grandfather bought a new 47 Roadmaster. And my folks bought a beautiful new black 51 Super Convertible. I didn't come along until 1958 both of those cars were gone by then but thankfully have plenty of old family photos of them in it. Memories! 😊👍
