1904 Mitchell antique veteran automobile restoration and road test

[@2639263926392639]

Somewhat incongruous seeing a 1904 car trundle through quintessentially American suburbia :-) Fantastic insight into pioneer motoring and engineering solutions. Brilliant stuff.

A beautiful restoration, and an amazingly advanced automobile for 1904! Thanks for sharing the video!!

[@ammediavideo338]

Glad you enjoyed it, a great opportunity, thanks.

[@Jestr86]

so much love and respect for these old cars.. love it

[@joostderidder]

[@thewmejr]

[@oldschool8432]

Beautiful. It's nice she's driving an not sitting but sounds like she's a lil cold natured as all were back when. You have done the name proper

Right hand drive! Just right for me in the UK. Lovely vehicle.

[@marcob4630]

a nice car indeed! great job!

[@nowemo130748]

Sehr schöner Film. ;-) Ich bin begeistert.

[@thistime4you]

Every one needs, once in their lives to experience the open air, smell of oil from a total loss system and the clicking of coils to really experience early motoring. And I am not joking, it is amazing stuff

[@davidlogansr8007]

You should take it to the London to Brighton road race!!! You would have a winner on your hands easily!

That was pretty cool to watch, I'm fascinated by these early machines. Excellent walkthrough of the engineering. I wonder if it's eligible for the London to Brighton vintage car run, at least the steering wheels on the right side.

[@arburo1]

Any car built before the end of 1904 can enter the LBR, as long as its reasonably original.

[@ammediavideo338]

Take a look at the Antique Car Run from New London to New Brighton at kzbin.info/www/bejne/fWSbaZhsa62dZtU

[@PerspectiveEngineer]

That’s one early steering wheel you got there. Nice work

[@blackbirdpie217]

At 8:15 when the car starts it shakes the entire street as if it were on a trampoline.. must be a very heavy car to turn concrete into rubber!

[@jeffambrosia5678]

It beats a horse back in the day.

[@skipstalforce]

Seems like a much better car then fords 1903 A or Cadilacs 1904. I wonder what the actual price was, I think the A went for 850.

[@dariusandrei9996]

Wow cool

[@vintagecarnews5899]

super video

[@AuzPete]

Is that a little Darracq in the background.

[@ammediavideo338]

You have a sharp eye. It is indeed a 1906 Darracq model R2. Thanks for watching

[@AuzPete]

Am Media my father has a 1909 2 cylinder. We drove it from Perth to Sydney in 2012 to rein-act the first crossing of Australia (100th year anniversary). In 2014 we crossed Adelaide to Darwin. Apart from clutch wear (slipping) and a couple of flat tyres it ran well. I’d love to see a video of your Darracq sometime. All the best.

old school video

[@infinithree6969]

What's the title of the song?

[@vincentbasso4903]

I believe it's " My merry Oldsmobile"

2 cylinder "motor" , really, gee I thought motors were electric or hydraulic tell me when did a engine become a motor?. The point is, if you are going to speak about technical things, please use the CORRECT GOD DAMNED WORD.
