My favorite car...... love the taillights

[@bobzanowicz9555]

my dad had a ‘61 Comet, 2 dr sedan originally silver then when the paint peeled had it painted maroon. 3 on the tree shifting. It was the sole family car until my younger siblings were born then we got the Country Squire. Kept the Comet until 71 then donated it to the HS auto shop. memories!!!😊

[@HearturMind]

Donuts were a great addition to breakfast! Nice surprise :)

[@anthonyangeli256]

Engines with a manual choke start quickly

[@Bigskyguy56]

Merry Christmas to you as well!

Great simple car for what it was .I loved mine.

[@yourbasicguy1098]

I love America!

[@LGKustoms]

Cool! This isn’t America though haha

[@CarterAutoRestyling]

Always great to see old cars out in the snow! Manual choke too!..I prefer those over the automatic type, expecially in cold weather.

[@LGKustoms]

I prefer manual chokes too. Shannon actually converted this car to a manual choke. Comets however, being a bit higher end than a Falcon never had a manual choke from factory and Shannon really did not want a generic choke knob, so she sourced one from a ‘59 Edsel. Since Comet was originally supposed to under the Edsel marque, there is a lot of interchangeable cosmetic parts between the two, including the dash knobs.

[@CarterAutoRestyling]

@@LGKustoms That's really interesting, I didn't realize they were meant to be part of the Edsel lineup. The knob looks right at home on the dash!

[@coltsfan79]

@@LGKustoms I have a 62 Comet S-22 I too prefer the manual chokes now I know where to look for the right knob/cable.

Beautiful car!

Get that beauty off those salted roads she deserves to be treated better in her golden years 😉

[@LGKustoms]

What am supposed to take the bus instead?

[@dave1956]

As slow as my 144 cubic inch Comet was with a three speed manual, I cannot imagine this was the 2 speed automatic. My parents had a 1960 Falcon equipped with the automatic and it couldn’t spin gravel.

[@LGKustoms]

It’s pretty slow! Not that car you’d want for a quick getaway.

[@invisableobserver]

Good thing you have covered keylocks. You must have an alternator by the speed of those wipiers

[@LGKustoms]

Still a stock generator when this video was made.

[@invisableobserver]

Those flame floor mats kept you warm. Nice ending with the donuts for dessert,@@LGKustoms

[@lukebecker1959]

Exactly how my comet sounded before I went dual exhaust

[@LGKustoms]

Cool! Did you use a header or split manifold?

[@lukebecker1959]

@@LGKustoms I put a header on mine since the original exhaust manifold had a lot of cracks

[@StayRed]

BRO lets go drift our comets next time it snows! Idk where you live but i was drifting mine when you made this video and even today!

[@LGKustoms]

Haha awesome! This car is currently in the shop getting a heart transplant. It shouldn’t need snow to slide around anymore

[@StayRed]

@@LGKustoms oh I see haha he's making big moves

[@robinprice4877]

Will it start if you don't use any choke on really cold morning?

[@LGKustoms]

Not usually, unless it’s really cold or the car has been sitting a while.

[@bruceedgecomb8722]

do you use salt on the roads

[@LGKustoms]

Me? No, I don’t put anything on the roads. I let the city take care of it. 😆 Haha no they don’t use salt here, it only snows like this once, maybe twice a year and it usually melts within a day.

[@kitschydevil]

Straight piped?

[@LGKustoms]

Just a single glass pack between the axle and the rear bumper.

[@JohnnyPeacenic]

We cant preserve ond cars if people are going to drive them in the winter. Be responsible

[@LGKustoms]

Relax man, it snows two days a year where I live. Cars are made for driving, not to sit in some climate controlled museum.
