'58 Ford Parked Over 50 Years Ago: Will It Run?

Can Davin and Jeff get this old Ford V-8 engine to fire up after a 50-year slumber? All evidence points to this car being off the road since 1963 (that's 60 years ago!). And it has been slowly sinking into the dirt in its current resting place since at least the mid-1970s. With a new battery, new spark plugs, fresh fuel, basic hand tools, and some good old-fashioned know-how, can your favorite engine builder and his new sidekick get this tired old 1958 Ford Country Sedan station wagon to start? Will it run??

[@todddenio3200]

At this point since they did get it running and since they did showcase their ability to get a long dead vehicle running even though they never drove it or even moved it from it's grave, they actually NEED to do this for more reasons than can be listed. If these guys DON'T get it so it can be returned to the roads, then they are not showing that a car such as this one can ever be returned to the road and that would be a serious letdown to their viewers. And to let down the viewers would be a dumber than dirt decision on their part

[@hardball107]

Why is it everyone forgets how a carb works. Get a little chain saw gas for some upper cylinder lube, fill the float bowl thru the bowl vent, close the choke so it will have a rich mixture and be on high idle, squirt some down the bores and turn her over. Should run for 20-30 seconds. Done it many times, always works as long as the engine isn't mechanically trashed..

So cool. My Dad had almost the exact car when we lived in Minneapolis (same colors, hub caps). Traded it in 1963 on a Falcon wagon when I was eight. Remember we would go camping and used a roof tent. Had some movies of us climbing ladder to get in. I still remember the white plastic knobs on controls when I would sit in driver's seat and pretend I was driving. Love this video

[@paulweisgerber7654]

I was born in the front seat of a ’63 Falcon wagon. My parents made it as far as the hospital parking lot. My dad delivered me. He cut my cord with his pocket knife and a cigarette hanging out of his mouth, lol.

[@Islanderpr1]

I was celebrating and smiling as if I was there. With a little effort, I could've even smelled the fuel, old grease, old car interior humidity. Great job, guys.

[@MrCunningham4]

Sometimes the trick with old Fords is to hold the gearshift all the up, because even in park it wont always start because of the safety lock out

[@novaseline4u]

The 50s Fords with automatics do not start in Park. Only in Neutral. I have no idea why they did that. For the 55 - 57 TBirds, the dealers sell an updated neutral safety switch that WILL allow it to start in park, like the later cars do.

I never looked twice at old wagons, except nomads but in the last 10 years I have seen some real cool wagons. I can't remember ever seeing one like that.

[@eugenvessel6943]

it is my humble opinion but after watching couple of other people videos about vintage cars mechanics, i think yours is most informative and very easy to watch not just for awe but also for context. I really liked it as I could actually learn something from lead actor/mechanic, I hope I wasn't only one who noticed/appreciated that and Hagerty will incorporate more of that type of video contents. I understand that its views that you are after so I hope my thumbs up and this post will be noted. All the best Hagerty team. Great content and looking forwards for more content like that.

[@LambentLark]

My 8 year old was yelling at you to put your foot on the break. His big sister took him Christmas shopping a month or so ago. When they came out to leave. His sister couldn't get the car started because she didn't release the safety feature by breaking. When their dad came to rescue, of course, It started right up. He was having a lot of fun at his sisters expense till she reminded him she may or may not give him a lift. Its fun to watch the two sides of his brain fight out teasing his sister vs. transportation. We can't believe you got it running! My boys have the biggest man crush on you guys. They have an old 78 ski-do snowmobile torn apart in the garage. I bought them the manual on it for Christmas. I play your videos to motivate them out there. I'm hoping they get it running by Feb so they can run it this winter. Your enthusiasm infects them. Can't ain't an option. Figure it out. And make sure the fire extinguisher is handy! Thanks to you for your motivational skills.

One thing that constantly amazes me: The quality of American starters. Sits for 50 years, turns right over; seen it a hundred times. I saw a video a few years ago where a guy was trying to start a 1928 Franklin after 71 years off the road, and he beat that starter up for what seemed like hours and it never died. People commented more on the starter abuse than the car.

[@Aragorn450]

Between this and the recent videos from Fab Rats & Merlin's Old School Garage with getting the engine in a boat that was sunk under Lake Powell for 30 years working again, I'm dang impressed by how solid some of these engines are! Obviously it's not always the case but the fact that with not much work, Davin and Jeff were able to get this one running, and the same with the boat engine that Merlin fixed up, that's some seriously well-built engines!

@@revee1000 Never watched one of their videos, so I can't say anything about them. But neither this "restoration", nor, from thumbnails, Vice Grip Garage can hold a candle to the craziness of getting that boat engine working again, IN the original boat too.

[@rudedog302]

Love to see any old engine come to life, but those old FE V-8s were what I spent more time with, it seems, due to me owning so many older Ford pickups. The engine is either a 332cui, or a 352 cui engine, the only V-8 engines offered in 1958 on the wagons other than the 223 cui inline 6. Not easy to identify a 332 or 352 unless you have the displacement sticker still on the air cleaner. Many of the blocks had 352 cast into the front left side of the block, right below the head, next to the water pump, even though the engine was a 390cui.

With my TBird I went through the same steps as these guys did - until I read the owners manual. It clearly stated the transmission must be in neutral to start. Not park. Put the car in neutral, and then it turned over with the key. That said, Ford eventually changed their cars to start in park, but I do not know what year they made the change.

Absolutely LOVE this start up! As well we had a 64 squire wagon when I first started realizing cars. In that early nostalgia I saw the 54s and fell in love. Just a blue collar dreamer here! Thanx

[@robertcmatthews460]

really ought to drag that one out of there and see if you can make it road worthy!

[@user-bi7xd8ry5p]

Heyyy Davin's back and now he's doing revivals. I hope you make this a regular thing, after all there are a lot of young people doing it with way less experience and knowledge.

That wagon is awesome. It needs to be rebuilt and returned to the road. Great job

[@scottlogan2971]

Love to see you work on that '66 Thunderbird behind the '58 Country Sedan next!

[@dgiorgi1725]

Another great vid guy's. It's always fun to see if ya can get an engine to run after sitting. It's like you feel like you have brought it back to life. That yard has some great potential for so more of these episodes . Thanks for the vid.

[@giorgiotommasini6828]

Nice! But are you taking it home and restoring it now?

Neato! 58 was the first year for the FE engine, and the smallest was the 332 CID, which this looks to be. The 352 was also offered in 58 but had a 4 barrel, IF I remember right. Great engines. Coincidently, my 59 Country Sedan was the same color combination and same engine.

I've always enjoyed Davin's work and his great personality. And I now like Jeff too, I can tell he's smart and he has a wonderful demeanor. These guys work very well together, and a series with Davin and Jeff would be welcomed by me. Notable, other than the backfire, I loved Davin's supportive patting on the engine, commenting "No stage fright now." There's some history here with the '58 Ford that some might be surprised to learn. The engine is a 352/FE series and Fords first use of this was in 1958. The first owner of this car had the delight, or perhaps concern, of having a newly released engine. Of course, we know that the 352 turned out to be a great engine and went on to power Fords throughout the 1960s. And as I recall, it continued on powering trucks into the '70s. We can't forget about the other FE series variants, one of these being the popular 390, so loved by many. Thanks, Hagerty!

Did we see this property on Barn Find Hunter as well?

[@Yellow.Dog.]

As a local I can say it is the same place. Lots of treasure there.

[@Hagerty]

Yup!

[@lucasstiles8012]

Glad I finally finished watching this! I can't wait for more with these guys.
