I wouldn't kick any of those cars out of my garage, all wonderful cars. Very elegant

Jay, I love these incredibly beautiful vintage classic cars, and even more your channel, its insanely entertaining, yet extremely informative, you do exciting great hard work & research, and a fantastic job well done. I totally enjoy all your amazing, exciting videos.

Thank you so much it means the world it really does. Thank you so much for noticing all of the hard work that goes into making these. =)

[@61rampy65]

Wow! What a cool car! I did not know they had a tachometer! You mentioned Glenn Pray- in 1966 he brought out the Cord 8/10, named that because it was 8/10ths the size of the original Cord. It used a new material for the body called Royalex, a kind of plastic. Pray kept the front wheel drive, using a Corvair power train mounted in the front. A turbo Corvair engine was an option, and you got external side pipes with the turbo. WYR= I can't afford any of them, but I'd take the Cord over all the others, with the Stutz DV32 in second. I can't wait to see the L29 Cord! Oh, and thank you for dubbing over your part where you talk about styling. Too many people have no respect for others who are trying to take videos and just gab away while they are right next to you.

[@What.its.like.]

Thank you so much for all the insight and information, I had no idea they used Corvair engines on those 2nd gen 8/10ths Great choices The cord 810/812 non supercharged are affordable $50k for a sedan… I might make a video of surprisingly affordable cars As far as the overdubbing I had To they were blaring brown eyed girl and everything I tried to to to get rid of it KZbin still picked it up so I had to overdub it, it’s really cool you noticed that I need to get multi track editor if I had audio software I could take the background noise out

[@gmck91204]

The styling and “cosmetics” on that car are just wonderful, typified by that beautifully designed instrument panel. It must also have been a fun car to drive, with the supercharged power, the fold-down front windshield and the open top. I wouldn’t be surprised if Ab Jenkins owned one as a personal pleasure vehicle.

[@randyfitz8310]

Hey! Great that you’re including music of the public domain on the B-roll. (Scott Joplin)

[@What.its.like.]

=) happy you dig the music

[@49commander]

Packard of course and the Imperial on the other group! It's nice that you put the Airflow and Zephyr in this because it shows how radical those cars were compared to everything else in 1936!

[@What.its.like.]

Awesome choices =)

[@bparksiii6171]

Stylish Auburn has nice flowing style, those 30's dashes were a work of art.First pick 36 Cord 812 ,second the 33 Stutz 32 Monte Carlo. Seen a red 36 Auburn same body non supercharged 8 years ago. Great episode keep em coming.

[@alanblanes2876]

I agree...this car was made thoughtfully and as an aesthetic wonder. I went through all 82 pages on the company's website, hoping that they might show the interior of the glove box. The glove box door is a tour de force, and is spectacular. I wonder if Jay has reviewed the 1933 Stutz 4 door... if not, I hope it gets a complete review.

[@Donald_Shaw]

Always enjoy your videos of special automobiles and all the research you provide to the viewers.

[@What.its.like.]

Thank you so much it really means the world to me. I just wanna keep the information out there for anybody that wants it My biggest fear is what is going to happen to all of these cars when the people who take care of them move on.. I don’t see too many people my age at car events there are exceptions but it’s sad really

[@What.its.like.]

Hahaha and that’s a whole other level I like the classics 30s era and 50s are my two personal favorites generations fenders and fins not sure which one I like better, but I was much into the 30s before the channel… and I believe went people my age discover these cars just like I did… and it will ignite a whole new wave of enthusiast..

@What.its.like. I dig 'em all, but especially love the 30's and 40's cars. Would love to see you do like a '38 Graham and a '39 non-rodded Willys. 😀 ❤️🧡

@@MrGuitar1458 I’ve been looking for grahams I will keep looking. I’m planning on going to Hershey. I saw a shark nose Graham at Hershey last year, but nobody was around it.

[@MrGuitar1458]

@What.its.like. roger that, I know they are rare. The '39 Willys is rare too, especially unmodified. That's why they're so cool... 😀

[@DSP1968]

Such a wonderful example of a beautiful car! I'm glad you found it to feature, Jay. And I'll take the Lincoln K and the Lincoln Zephyr.

[@JefferyHall-ct2tr]

Hello Jay! You are really tugging at my ACD heart-strings! What a LOVELY Auburn! Would still love to see a super-charged coupe in that model! I cannot understand why Dual-Ratio hasn't survived. Seems like a wonderful feature to have. Maybe they weren't heavy-duty enough(?) for the more powerful, more modern engines. WYR. . .Well, in order to pick the Auburn AND the Cord, I am just going to have to be greedy and say I want them ALL! (V-12 Packard ain't no slouch either!) So. . .since I picked the Auburn in the first, I will take that RARE Stutz in the second! Those Weymann bodied cars were sleek! Plus, that DOHC engine! Whew! Digging the Scott Joplin music!

[@What.its.like.]

One day I’d like to cover all the body styles eventually =) Sweet choices

[@avp217]

I got our tickets to the Greenfield Village car show today! Will be flying in from New York. We visited the Henry Ford Museum, the village, and the Rouge factory three years ago (not during the car show), and they were all worthwhile. The Auburn is beautiful, but for WYR, I would take the Cord and the Airflow, both for their unique design, and the Cord for its front wheel drive and preselector transmission.

[@What.its.like.]

I hope to see you up there if you guys see me please be sure to say hey I love meeting people =) If it’s your first time you will not be sorry it’s almost too much to take in but totally awesome

[@fidobite3798]

I'd take that Cord over all the others. If chosen by group I'd pick the Auburn in group 2. Gorgeous car for sure! Thanks, Jay! Nice review!

[@What.its.like.]

Great choices =)

[@tedecker3792]

I love the five thousand mile per hour tachometer lol! Great video as always Jay.

[@What.its.like.]

Hahaha it happens a lot more than you guys usually see.. I didn't catch that

[@ronkemperful]

Will look forward to your tour of the Auburn. Interesting and innovative in engineering and design for the time. My favorite era for cars was from the 1930s through the 1950s. Technology of ignition and fuel systems was perfected, and modern braking and transmission designs also were implemented. I wish that some of the styling could be faithfully adapted with under the skin changes to include modern safety and emission regulations.

[@What.its.like.]

I totally agree my two favorite periods of time are 30s and 50s

[@trampslikeus3575]

$39,000 for the Auburn - the price of an average home in 1936 $2.000 to $4,000!

[@JohnCBurzynski]

Gotta go with the Auburn.

Jay, you big dork! those WYR's are in no way fair! Would love to come meet you in Auburn as it's only an hour away from me but other obligations may prevail! Love your vid, as always!

[@hcombs0104]

Tough choices, but for WYR, I will take the Cord, and the Auburn. And I like the '36 better than the '34, except for the taillights. Another beauty from a bygone era. I really like that art deco dash, and the flying lady hood ornament. And that back seat. By the way, did it rain the day you made this? It looks like it could have.

[@What.its.like.]

It rained for like 5 minutes and then it got hot this was the first car I did Great choices

[@captaccordion]

Hi Jay. I once dated a girl who showed me her father's garage, and in it was a 35/36 Auburn roadster, a basement model with flathead six, awaiting restoration. All the publicity seems to go to the supercharged ones with chrome exhausts. But if you stumble across a basement one, I'd be very interested to see it to refresh my memory on the car I saw decades ago. Cheers.

[@What.its.like.]

I would love to cover the six cylinder cars ( Mike Wolfe found one on American pickers ) great story

[@P_RO_]

I love Phaetons, but by this time they were kind of going out of style. No words for how exquisite this car is which haven't been said a million times before,so right to WYR- Even as special as the 812 is, I'll take this SC852 or the Lincoln because I like their styling better. Then the Stutz,even though it's older it's beautiful for it's year.

[@What.its.like.]

Did you ever notice that phaetons and convertible sedans in this era are the same body style different name

[@P_RO_]

@@What.its.like. Yeah, the later ones were. The original phaetons had a more distinct separation inside between the front seat and the rear passenger area, often like a body shell was added to the back of a rag-top roadster. And they were longer than convertibles too which is what gave them the distinct look I like.

[@OCG306]

Hello Jay! Enjoyed the video! Let me know next time you’re in Auburn IN at the ACD museum. i’m a volunteer there and I can give you a private tour. Also, Me and my family have a 1935 851 Auburn sedan that I use almost Daily if you wanted to go for a ride in it. keep up the good work and Can’t wait to see future videos!

As for pricing: it seems that cost of automobiles in the 1950s were relatively less compared to other costs of living than in the 1930s or today.

Just a model year I believe, the 1935s were 851 series the 36 and beyond where just carry overs But worth pointing out the “6” in 654 and the “8” in 852 are number of cylinders

The cars are like toys from the 90s now or at least same plastic feel… they put a premium on plastic like a plastic bumper costs more than a steel one for some reason.. and people are none the wiser because they never knew what a quality car was
