1931 Ford Model A Finished and "My Classic Tire" Special!

[@coldwarmotors]

Hey! Thanks for checking out the final installment of our series on the Model A pickup truck! This week we'll take it for a spin and then see how she does off road! Then, Agent 303 stops in and we put together a set of sweet classic tires for the 1959 Chrysler we salvaged a few weeks ago. Many thanks to Agent 0826 for letting us drive his sweet "A" and for getting it extra muddy so we could get some sweet shots of it out in the field! **Please hit the ol' "like" button if you want more "My Classic Tire" vids, ( It really helps the vids get seen) cheers!**** If you'd like to support our show, please visit our website at: www.coldwarmotors.com for Coffee Mugs, Dealership Decals, and Hats... "My Classic Tire" shirts coming soon! or join us on the Patreon page at: www.patreon.com/coldwarmotors and we'll hang out and talk about cars a lot, haha! All the very best to everyone from me and Frankers and the Agents! s

hey there happy sat

Hi scott,agents. Nice job making these videos. Cinamatography is getting better and better. Anticipating all the great projects. Rev. P.S. lots of joules in CWMC personel, lots of jewels in CWMC yard!

[@marcomalo02]

It's finally done, that '31, Sez Henry with a smile. Let's all pile in and take a spin, Aint' done it in a while. The Unknown Poet, FKATUP

[@jstew7541]

I still have the three new bias ply tires to donate to your collection if you want them .I sent my info through your web store.Thanks

[@howardkoster4026]

You have shifting down pat. Do you have to double clutch to shift??

[@rumrunner1756]

“ Dozens of good miles”. Reminds me of the old days when my high school friends and I would go dumpster diving behind the tire stores for our “new tires”. We would be especially stoked if we found a matching pair of white letter or red-line tires that had “dozens of good miles left on them”. 👍👍☮️

[@lukebecker9382]

That sounds fun

[@rumrunner1756]

Luke Becker Luke, that was our Sunday afternoon entertainment. Saturday was junk yard day. One of us always had something that he needed to make it through the next week. New parts were for cowards. ☮️

[@seed_drill7135]

Made me think of the Happy Days episode where Richie bought an old Nash with a guaranteed 12 good starts left on the battery.

[@chuckhaynes6458]

Somewhere in central Canada lurks a 361 engine and a cast iron Torqueflite waiting to make Dean's dream come true.

[@mrdanforth3744]

He might better go to BC and buy a rust free 59 Chrysler. Lots easier and cheaper than trying to fix that heap.

[@hamishdavidson3368]

Yeah and a full set of rust free floor pans o heck get a new one anyways!

[@markcovey2304]

You're probably right about that, Mr. Danforth. But buying a car with solid floors and rockers will cost precious points from the judges in the Waste of Time Olympics.

[@roadwarrior1450]

Great to see these cars saved from the crusher. Even though most will never see the road again. 1960's Used Car Lot.What a concept. 👌

[@SteveTheFordGuy985]

So fucking cool, who has this many classics ? just Jay Leno . Thanks for saving these old timers.

[@AndrewKarpyszyn]

Loving the musical score!

[@PaulinesPastimes]

The Model A is wonderful, what a rare treat. My grandfather never drove his Model A over 40MPH. The Chrysler is another story. With the simple addition of nice tyres and hubcaps, it is transformed. The dash is fab and the shape is great. Does any extensive restoration make economic sense if you added it all up? You do it for love. I think the Chrysler is worthy of love. Oh dear, I have gone all serious again but I couldn't help it. Thank you again for your videos. Cheers.

Those are some nice Winter Cleats. As a kid, I always used SOS Pads on the whitewalls. Maybe white walls will make a come back. They are stylish.

[@1curt12]

What a treat for the eyes that ol Windsor is. She needs to be on the road and enjoyed as much as possible

[@anteropaulino5151]

try a SOS pad on the whitewalls. gets them snow white lol

[@flatbrokeauto5746]

Those 1965 Chrysler 300 Caps look pretty good on the old girl.

[@bradzimmerman3171]

Yeah old wore out tires & hubcaps go together ,stock rims ,custom rims ( aluminum ) go with new tires which means hubcaps are totally useless

[@combatmotorsports9006]

The right wheels and tires on a car, are like a fine wine with a good meal. You are a connoisseur!

[@bernieg2433]

It always makes my Saturday when cold war motors uploads a new movie!!

[@Mullay2]

Scott I really like what you did with that sweet Model A pick up. That is what most of them probably looked like while they were earning a living.

[@coldwarmotors]

Hey thanks; that was what we wanted it to look like... as though it was put away and forgotten about! Cheers from here...

[@Mullay2]

@@coldwarmotors Might be one of the nicest running Model A's I have seen and heard in a while.

[@CarterAutoRestyling]

The model A came out fantastic, I'm looking foreward to seeing what you do with the model T coupe!

[@davidwildridge8080]

That Ford Model A pickup is absolutely perfect. Fine job making it road worthy. Thanks for taking us along for the ride...a real treat! Those aerial shots really make your videos "over the top."

[@tabbott429]

You had me rolling with the tire "showcase" segment. Making that old tire look like a museum piece with the sweet cinematography action. Nothing like a little elbow grease to bring something back to life.

[@JazzStrat781]

Yay!! A Cold War Motors notification of a new video! Makes my weekend, best to you all Scott! Thanks for providing my "old car fix" for the week, loving the Model A truck and ANY classic tire features!!

[@JazzStrat781]

Excited to see some Model T Coupe updates too!

[@rdsledge]

The Chrysler is magnificent. So glad to see Dean back in many of your videos it seems that he was missing for a while. Dear Frankers playing with her toy. How majestic she looked next to the classic tire♥️♥️

[@soulshaker1962]

Love the slow motion , close up , glamour shots of the classic tires.

[@900108Chale]

Those panoramic shots of the Ford A! Thanks! 😍😍😍

[@ZenithClarity]

Model A is AWESOME! Would love to have that great machine. My dad knew all about them.

[@rekord1969]

Just in from a long day at work in Ireland, standing in my garage and wondered if there had been an instalment of sanity from Canada and there it was, some classic tyre action:) Thanks lads, love your work.

[@barrykochverts4149]

Scott with the daring Mamie Van Doren soft core "glamour" tire video shoot. Y'all need to do a Classic Tire Pinup Calendar! I would pay for that.

[@wilboomhower2490]

Long after the fact, I enjoy you guys do, because you do what I do.

[@Onteo1]

Dean has a hankering for that 4 door Chrysler. I think that car has his name all over it. Maybe a side channel , Deans rebuild. Great video. Love the model A.

[@petewood2350]

He has the look, as though he wants to move in, and live in that car.

[@waynegouin939]

I hope they fix up that Windsor. It would make a nice weekend summer car. It would be great fun cruising town or anywhere in that baby

How can he resist a car the color of a tower of spam, newly freed from the can!

[@moparedtn]

SON!! (Sorry, been listening to Jerry Reed songs today...) Cinematography by Scott, C.W.M. F.D.I.C. Very creative! Y'all DO know Scott does the music on these videos too, right? YES, Scott, Spray Nine IS your friend! :-) Making me grin right from the get-go....thanks! The prerequisite Dean "ground shot" out of the way, the '31 Model A is gorgeous! It's always great to see one back on the road. Feels like a victory of some sort. My own '68 GTX is back among the operational now too, her rust patches and such all repaired and an exact color match performed. Folks were very kind at the cruise-in last night. :-) Jay Leno isn't calling, but she's a runner. I'm happy with it. Y'all be careful up yonder, -Ed on the Ridge

[@carl_marks1626]

I could be wrong but I don’t think jay Leno has scrubbed a tire and hubcap on his knees while stoned. Once again great video and content. The opening drone footage at the beginning was particularly good.

[@talltom1129]

I was so happy to see the completed Model A,but Dean stole the show AGAIN. His obvious love for that car screams for a refurb!!!

[@El_Chompo]

I wanted to start rubbing the rusty roof with some vinegar to start counteracting it. I wish I was there to help with the tidies.

[@jamespn]

Atlas tires sold by Esso, Standard and American stations in the 60s and 70s. I remember cleaning white walls with comet and a scrub brush, good times.

[@dj33036]

An S.O.S. Pad on the white walls did wonders.

[@slowpokebr549]

We used Brillo Pads at the Kerr Mcgee and sold retread Bandag's.

[@pappabob29]

Lots of weekend days were spent washing cars and cleaning white wall tires. Comet work nice for just cleaning the white wall with SOS if somebody mis-judged a curb and the tire had the black scuffs.

Is that a Mercury Marauder I see parked in the drive? Thanks for all your hard work production wise, and with the model A!! I wish they still made car interiors like they did in that Windsor! Too reflective with all the shininess suppose... I love these videos; they are the highlight of my youtube viewing!

[@gregcromer8406]

Awesome editing on the pickup drive around at the end!

[@60EFFIE]

Awesome tunes with the drone footage! Almost could have used a little “boom chicka wow-wow” there with Dean on the detail work! Thanks, and cheers!

[@ceccbc]

Great A footage and commentary. I have to figure out how to get a ride along in one day for 2cv comparison purposes, and to meet another owner who is so happy to hit 40 mph. Liking the soundtracks lately too

[@robinimpey101]

The Model A project is excellent!! Hours and hours of entertainment! Thanks for taking the time to document the project. 👍

[@MrGaryRoberton]

Being a 4 door Windsor, I would think it pretty rare, as not a lot of them were saved, and exist now in any condition. Even brought back to running and driving would be a major accomplishment. Good goin' Scott!!

[@craignehring]

What a joy these episode bring to me/us. The opening is spectacular and really highlights another one of your abilities. I am sure if I lived closer I would become one of your agents, knocking out some little project that needed attention. Enjoy the warm weather , this will come to an end all to soon Thumbs up and ^5's

You guys have changed my whole outlook in what I’m doing with my classic 71 Falcon Wagon. I’m just going to give a level 2 tidy and apart from some small paint touch ups I’m keeping the car bone stock and original. Complete with patina paint , 6cyl & 3on the tree.

[@takoma5]

Woo that 59 Windsor looks awesome maybe Deans next daily ;)

[@stephenswift8001]

That Model A is a joy! Excellent work on saving it and keeping it alive! and the tyres and hubcaps on the Chrysler are a vast improvement!

[@mid-niteryders5523]

Don't want to rain on your parade, but once one of the two "new" tires on a abused car I just bought and suggested they replace because 2 tires had no tread, they said fine and gave me re-caps. One went flat on the way home. That line looks a lot like a re-cap line around it ??? The 31 is just amazing, great job !

[@DDRighteous]

WOW, the caps make all the difference.

[@eddiebelvedere2400]

No disappointments! Another fun video. Thank you.

[@Gerk8]

The bed floor of that model A reminds me of a Hacker-Craft speed boat. The finish is beautiful! You guys have nerves of steel inflating some of those classic tires. At least you don't go for rusty split rims! As they used to say on Hill Street Blues "Hey, let's be careful out there."

[@slowpokebr549]

I'm with Dean, that 59 is sweet. It needs back on the road.

[@PrintMonkey]

Nice seeing so much of Frankers

[@Rebel9668]

JC Penny seat covers or JC Whitney? :) We used to always use that Westley's "Bleech-White" on those whitewall tires. It was like, no matter how many times you wiped, you were still gonna pick up black and get it on the white, LOL! Meanwhile today on "My Classic Hubcap"... One of your electronics agents should be put to work on the radio. Usually the vibrator on those things is shot, but they can be replaced...heck, some folks even rebuild them. Then you can really freak folks out. Yeah, my car is good for more than just looking at, listen to this! Put a little AM transmitter in the glove box crankin out some classic 50's tunes while the rest of the car is rusting into the ground :) but cleanly!

[@jefferysmith3930]

Thank you for another great video. Scott. That model A is one sweet old girl. What and amazing difference the right wheels and tires make on a car. That Windsor is now begging to be a driver ( insert hundreds of labor hours here). presto! She lives again!

BEAUTIFUL tires and hub caps!! Really makes the old girl shine!! Model A wss a great bonus!! AWESOME job all!!!

[@Olli-mb9tt]

I love the intro and end scene that's the (green) canadian prairie that reminds me to 2 stays in Shilo Manitoba Army training camp in '88 + '89 whith an extra of John Boy Walton cruising the plains (he did not in tv ?! ). Cool roadmovie - scenes whith super cool music - whow🙋 .

[@Mullay2]

Scott you are shifting that Model A like you have been driving that thing your whole life.

[@Shane-Singleton]

I think you should put an engine in the 59 Windsor and give it to Dean just to see his reaction

I couldn't agree more. I've never seen DEAN quite so stoked! ...Newk from Kentucky

[@joemazzola7387]

I used westleys bleach white on my whitewall tires Its still available

[@MaxAC]

Great video, I could watch you clean old tires and display them all day long. When the tire rolled out with the hubcap on it......Oh baby. I collected hubcaps since I was about 10 so it's borderline unhealthy how much I love collecting vintage wheel/ tire combos.

[@__J_O__]

Nothing wrong with Chrysler four door classics! I prefer them in hardtops but still nothing wrong with sedans.

[@861LJ]

You look adorable driving that Model A Scott! ☺️ I love Dean's enthusiasm for the cars! And how clean those classic tires cleaned up! Frankers loves showing off her toys!

[@b1g1lz]

Nice to see the level of restoration on that Model A. Too many people insist on making them better than they were new. To each their own I suppose.

[@nickhannaford3253]

Dean’s back on the gun at Classic Tires 👍😎

[@slowpokebr549]

That A would really be blast to drive where I live. It's seven miles of gravel to a black top. The top speed on that old girl exactly matches the conditions.

[@davidmeyers3549]

Enjoyed the ride in the A. Frankers is such a good girl.

[@forty6andtwofan]

Thank you Scott!! Been anxiously waiting for a "My Classic Tire" episode, and this one is a Special!!!

[@maxplanck1423]

A signature CWM production that somehow escaped my view. The footage of the A pickup tooling across the landscape is dream sequence stuff. The Classic Tire segment is a real pleaser too with all of the rich anecdotal narrative: the scrap tire “shitments,” Leno’s mechanical shortcomings, and certainly Franker’s continuing supporting role. Thanks, gentlemen!

[@OldIronRC]

That Model A pick up looks great rolling around on the road. I remember when you was working on the fenders on that. The classic tires on the '59 are looking pretty spiffy too, I can see why Dean is all lusty for that Windsor.

[@charger19691]

Great video and so happy to see the Model A back on the road!

[@davidjames2788]

That Model A is as close to perfect as you could get. You should start selling a shirt that just says "same old shirt" but print the "r" in "shirt" red.

Hi Scott and agents,and Frankers pretty girl she is! Bias plys for the Windsor,SWEET! That A is something beautiful.Grampa had two when I was real young. One pickup factory worm gear rear, one sedan chopped off shortened, wood bed, homemade pickup. My uncle sold them both for 75$😂😅 in 1975. They both still ran. I can remember riding in one when i was 3 yrs old. I cant wait till you work on the T. My dad told me he learned how to drive in a model T with the foot pedal reverse when he was 9 yrs old. Old Henry would be proud of CWMC. Im stunned you said the A was your favorite! True Chrysler Men dont tell little white lies! If anything can take my mind off the Fury, its the A, or that T. But then theres that weird silver French car, and oh yeah the roadster. Once again you guys made my day. Windsor+ donor car, and that Belvy. From the U.P. of Mi. Thank you, Advocate of S.H.I.T., Revved up yooper. SOMEWHERE IN CANADA

[@vettekid3326]

That '59 Windsor looks like something Ward Cleaver drove in the old TV show "Leave it to Beaver" since he was supposed to be some sort of successful businessman.

[@shaunclifton5281]

I think ole Ward was an advertising executive. He had a bevy of Mopars for sure. I like how his 62 Plymouth never had a rear window.

[@jexsmx6608]

another great installment. glad you finally got done joy-riding. pa walton was calling all over the county for jim-bob and john-boy to get the truck back to the mill. windsor looks much better with those maypop (may pop at any time) tires. i also used to pick from the local tire pile for my willys pu. size and type (grips) were the only discriminators. i distinctly recall atlas 42s were some of the best for keeping a bonfire going. also great for smoking venison sausage. the flavors were exquisite. also glad to see the list of subscribers continues to grow.

[@dannycasler4959]

I would have pulled the right tail lamp on that Windsor and put a big iron bar in through the hole and started prying that big dent out of the quarter panel! Plus I would be looking at the stash of old Mopars in your yard like the four door Fury you're stripping and pull the engine and trans out of it and put it in this one, Or go see your buddy at the junkyard and get an engine and trans. from him! Also I would use old car hoods ,roof's and deck lids to make patches for the floor where needed! Down and dirty! Just make it safe! Take rocker mouldings from any car you can find, cut and trim to make it hide the rusty rockers, plus find some quarter mouldings to cover the rust on this one and go! I do that with cars I find and make them safe to drive and go with it! I'm kind of the American version of you guys but without the cameras! I only have 40 cars though! I'm still that kid building model cars but now the cars are bigger!

[@dannycasler4959]

I worked at a tire factory in Mansfield Ohio in the early 70'S I was the fourth generation in my family to work there! Unfortunately the plant went belly up due to competition from overseas factory's ! Those old tires would hold up for years! I have a 71 Cutlass with a set of tires on it that were purchased in 1975 and they're still in terrific condition! The tires they make today go to pieces in a few years! I have a lot of old cars at my shop and some of the newer radial tires blow out with the car sitting still!
