[@bubot17]

We did enjoy this episode 👍👍👍

[@Ecosse57]

maybe i'm just greedy but wouldn't be cool to have a weekly or monthy sit down with your grampa and talk about various hot rod stuff? maybe you two and your dad?

[@kimosabbe50]

Suggestion: This would make a great series. I'm sure your grandpa has lots of cool stories like this, and he's one of the best storytellers I've had the pleasure of listening to. Heck, I feel like I was right there with them on that "adventure" 😳 Anyway, I really enjoyed this and, once again, had a smile on my face the whole time.

[@BackYardYonkes]

I agree wit this, good idea!

[@vintagespeedandcustommags]

Absolutely agree! These older fine gents are around forever and I fear we may lose a lot of our car folk history, not so much the big mainstream and racing histories, but rather the local guys n halls it all was based around

[@sixstringcity3931]

This man is a treasure!!!!

[@vintagespeedandcustommags]

This man is the inspiration of hot rodders around the globe and a founding father of the culture we do cherish. Please continue with these!

[@johnsarian_cu]

Solid memory. Great storytelling. I can only hope when I'm that age....

[@brookferrington6120]

this is a simple request ! MORE PLEASE !!!! too good .

[@waynejohnson1121]

LOL ! Now thats how to have HotRod fun

[@johnhartley3596]

Your grandad has a great memory for details. Wonderful story.

[@joshlujan7019]

Dude, I could sit next to your grandma and listen to him about his life for the rest of the year no problem.. your very fortunate and blessed to still have this man in your guys life. Thanks for the vid.

[@radders50]

The best generation 😎👍

[@Thecraig909]

These stories are so detailed! This man's memory is impressive!

[@FourSpeedFilms]

I know…pretty crazy! Trucks coming out nice👌

[@HansenSpeedShop]

this is the Kinda nights and adventures i try to relive likes its the 60s again!

[@lasseellingsen4779]

It must have been awesome growing up in the 50’s

[@rickeymitchell8620]

Would love to hear more stories from your grand dad. Enjoyed listening to him tell his story.

[@reginaldfitzpatrick8681]

PLEASE ! More old hot-rod stories on the channel! Younger guys like us who are trying to keep the scene alive should hear stories like these, and learn more about how the OGs used to do things.

[@toddbob55]

Please have grandpa on again !!! also get us some vintage pictures of him back in the 50's

[@kk-vk7uc]

What a memory!! Good stories passing them along.

[@rogermishler8794]

Southern California in the 1950's- center of the hotrod universe!

[@kyleforeman4543]

So glad ur sharing g.pa an his stories with all of us.don't get no better than that. Cherry Cokes,white tees, Memories, u are a lucky young man Ben..😎🤙👍✌

[@1SteelKing]

Those stories are lost with guys like your grandpa as each day passes...tell us the legacy! MORE STORIES

[@bobbyoz8251]

Wow ! What a night out and what a memory! And those hotrods are so cool I have a A model RPU and a a A model roadster in the works ,thanks for the great story!

[@pauldulworth2768]

Paying tribute to one of the founders of hot rodding who just happens to be your grandfather has got to be an instant sainthood in the ether of car culture. Well done, sir. Well done.

[@Julian-vd7sq]

This Channel is literally one of the best automotive channels in all of KZbin. Hearing all those stories about the Hot Rod culture makes me really happy. Also I absolutely love your 65 Mustang build, made me want a muscle car. Unfortunately its hard for me to get one, as I live in Germany. Keep up the great work, I absolutely enjoy watching your Videos and hearing all those interesting stories. Also the Production Quality of your content is on point.

[@adrianhaggerty9139]

I love the history your family has. It’s like a full on history channel related to Rods muscle cars and an era of So-Cal.

[@systemcrash2588]

These stories are gold! Veteran hot rodders are the best.

[@Pipiasgarage]

Great story! When my grandpa was still around he told us all kinds of hot rod stories. One of my favorites was when he had his 1957 belair convertible, he used to race people all of the time and like your grandpa he ended up getting a cop after him! My grandpa had the license plate hooked up with a line and pulled the line which flipped the license plate up so it couldn’t be seen whatsoever. Of course he got away, that powerglide! Thanks for sharing.

[@elkoposo686]

Perfecto tale! Ain't so bad when you're blown by a Cad-Dad!!! ?8D

[@bobmoyer7929]

Your Granpa has a better memory than I do ! Great story, Thanks !

[@davidc9135]

Oh man let's get more of these stories on here. I envy your grandpa's sharp memory! Great watch.

[@jsrroadrash3663]

Your grandpa is awesome can't wait to hear more. 97 cents and ithey got 3 gallons of gas..now a days that's wets the hose.

[@SyndicateRC]

Such a cool story. Old guy but young at heart. :)

[@mrmoss149]

" The BIRD". Still LMFAO. AWESOME.

[@jakespeed63]

He's an American treasure! AND his 2 cars are super cool. Obviously still a teenager at heart.

[@goldysgarage189]

Gotta love the smile on the young lad's face - gramps is pretty rad in his mind.

[@PASquared]

Your grandpa is sharp as a tack! He hasn't lost a beat!

[@1936fordcrazy]

Save those storys im in a multi generational hot rod family also and I tell my son the stories I was told all the time

[@MrJeep75]

Keeping history alive

[@tristan8243]

holy moly, your grandpa has a really good memory!! sure keeps the brain young :)

[@terrymott8581]

7/16's? What's that Everything's metric now a days. My Dad was quite the mechanic. Wish I knew some of his stories, as he shared very little where he was definitely helping friends who had cool cars in the mid 50's. Seems like they learned out of necessity. No warranties, wanted to save a dollar, etc... You cherish these moments kid!

[@stein-fredrikholm2042]

Great great great...keep them coming 😃👍🏼

[@S7midnight]

My friend once got away in a car with 700cc engine :D Man, you don't realize how lucky you are to have a grandpa!

[@shawnnorton2674]

What a honor to have this man as your grandfather, daddy’s quite cool also. And yes I love Ben and his channel, great content.

[@a72Stang]

What a memory he has. Great to hear more stories!

[@380.motorsports]

Good choice for this video. Loved hearing real hot rod stories from an OG hot rodder. Your Grandpa is one cool dude.

[@edwardcm9175]

Grandpa was havin fun 👀

[@robertwells6454]

Very cool stuff. You have a gold mine right there. 👌

[@AndyGeesGarage]

These stories are great! Thanks for sharing them with us and thank your grandfather too. My favourite thing about hot rodding and the car hobby in general are the stories that are created along the way.

[@jrparker4804]

Weekly videos? Yeah! Great video, Ben. Keep them coming 👍

[@itsallgood69]

Grandpa is kool luv the stories

[@pdnelsonbkc4114]

I love these story videos. You need to get a 1950s soda pop style table to sit at while telling these stories.

[@tompreciado863]

Crazy good memory! Very detailed! I loved the video, keep them coming!

[@bruceedgecomb8722]

you have a really kool grandpa

[@mikkomaijala366]

Hi Ben! Your Grandpa is a wonderful getleman with a great memory and a good bunch of interesting stories. With a smile and good humour. More of this! I also have a suggestion: Get a voice recorder and ask Your Grandpa if He likes to tell all the old stories. Not only about cars and hot roding, but also if what he wants to tell about family history, life in general when He was a young man etc. I believe You would find these recordings valuable in the course of time.

[@geofo60]

That was great listening to your Grandpa take a trip down memory lane. Going by the comments I think the consensus is definitely more. Thanks for sharing from the U.K. 👍

[@MrRajay2U]

Great story, and what a memory grandpa has, now lets see more of that T

[@rallycatgarageharvey1135]

Grandpa is very cool. Please do some more with him !👍😎

I know I need to get out more but...this was fantastic. Many thanks for making these (priceless) films! Billy (a Limey) ;-)

[@emilianzimnoch3946]

[@wadetomes9265]

Keep these story's coming

[@bolton9390]

[@theamericanmuscle5]

this man LIVED American Graffiti. I'm so amazed by how many details he remembers about that night and how he could paint a picture and a scene just by talking. Thank you for sharing this, Ben. Looking forward to more!

[@Staravora]

That's crazy how he remembers all those details so long ago

[@jalopyhotrod6394]

Coolest thing ever to be 3rd gen Hotrodder

[@natgasf4097]

Awesome!

[@deucerider430]

Thank you for sharing your recollection this evening of pure enjoyment! Thanks to your fantastic memory, I was able to close my eyes, and see the pick-up in full color. Even heard the burble of the flattie, before the caps were removed! It makes perfect sense to take the caps off! Oh, what a night! Bless you!

[@AndysDogHouse]
