C20 Gets NEW INTERIOR on the Side of Route 66! - Day 5

[@rogersmith3960]

Bently will remember this trip with his dad for the rest of his life. Excellent Derek!

[@tenman7242]

Absolutely. He's gonna tell his friends about this for years to come.

[@oldpolak5203]

He'll show his friends how it's done

[@michaelvanhoose5077]

I came here to say just that. This will be a cherished memory.

[@lestaylor3641]

Exactly. Though i dont doubt Derek is doing well. When i think of my life how i wished my dad and i were doing whatever together. That bond or lack of is major to human interaction. Its really an awesome to see you two working together. I cant wait for the episode. DEREK GETS SCHOOLED BY LITTLE GRIP GARAGE. 😂😂✌🇺🇸.

[@Wademorgan1024]

My dad took me on a similar road trip and I still remember it. A feller is a good dad for it

[@SuperMisterInvisible]

This is the side of America we don't see in Britain. A decent Family man, with a lovely family. Polite, quiet, hardworking, An all round really decent guy. With cool old cars I've never even heard of. This is why I love your channel.

[@aidanb.3819]

I love the series man, its great to see some good wholesome father son bonding mixed with classic american cars and roadtrips👍

[@bensymington5550]

Have a good trip thank you for the great videos

[@lestaylor3641]

Hell yea Brother. 😂😂✌🇺🇸 Murica. Cuz of the way that it is.✌

[@andresd4464]

Agreed

[@kerryhickman2235]

I just can't believe it! But I guess I have to because it's right here in front of me! The best road trip/repair/father & son bonding trip I ever did see!! Thanks Derek & Bentley for helping me remember all the trips that my dad & I had long ago!!

[@loganhanes8196]

pure ameeican gold. father and son on a trip like that. loved every minute of it

[@MartinDevelopment]

Great memories for both Dad and Son!!!! God Bless your family!!!

[@sgrowe56]

I like Bentley, cool lil' dude, looking forward to his KZbin videos in 15-20 years. Signed, Doc Rowe in Jacksonville, Alabama.

[@Missouri_Outlaw_1276]

Look up Little Grip Garage here on the KZbin. Bentley has his own channel.

[@philgrimsey3637]

Again, Derek inadvertently teaches us not only automotive things but also schools us dads on how to be a father. Love the truck. I'd also love to do a roadtrip like this with my boys

[@kimbarlow8800]

The thing i hate about every episode is when it ends. Thank you for the fantastic story and content. I have loved the family episodes since you started doing them and can't wait for the next one.

[@Mr6384]

When I made this trip one year ago, we didn’t make the stops. I was amazed at the abandoned buildings everywhere. Oh and the trains full of Amazon!

[@ivanwesley8182]

I’ve really enjoyed these Route 66 videos, thank you sir, you are a blessing!

[@ericneumann6017]

Now my day is complete! Love VGG!!

[@argee55]

Brought back lots of childhood memories. Back in the 60's, our family drove from eastern Kentucky to the California coast and back. It took four days out and four days back, all without A/C. Lots of those places that are now abandoned were open back then. Glad you and Bentley got to share this adventure. He will definitely remember it.

[@CptFantaztic]

Weird. Back in 1968 my family drove from Western Ky to California in a 1962 Buick with no A/C. Going thru the desert it was cooler to leave the windows up. And you are right, alot of the abandoned places were open back then. Would love to do it all over again, maybe with A/C this time tho.

[@johnschneeman3552]

Bringing back similar memories...Early '60s..2dr 1950 Pontiac Chieftain no AC. Aunt, Uncle, Mom and us 3 kids. Norwood, Oh to Whittier, Ca via Route 66

[@rubnsracn]

1962. Dad drove us from Pennsylvania to Gardena, California in a 1959 Ford Galaxie 500 automatic with no reverse gear. Had to be careful not to have to back out of anyplace. When we got settled, he took it in to get looked at. Tightened the bands for $2.70. Dad was happy but mad at the same time. Same Route 66 trip back in 1970 and still remember the Whiting Bros. stations and curio shops everywhere.

[@mikescherrer4923]

Thanks for this series, Derek. It's been nice getting to tag along.

[@gkountry664]

Absolutely Amazing Series !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@edh.9153]

Great job! Making Memories for sure. Kids matter! Thank you very much. Ed Hicks

[@amo6959]

Thanks for taking me on a road trip . The only road trip I'll be able to afford this summer .

[@coachmattc]

Derek, I thoroughly enjoyed this series. What a way to spend some quality time with the boy.

[@rickwiedeman2317]

You’ve quickly turned into my favorite channel. I’m an old shade tree mechanic from southern Oregon. Your a guy I’d enjoy meeting.. keep doing what your doing please.

[@ViceGripGarage]

Thanks Rick

[@mikebarriball]

I AGREE, HE'S A GREAT GUY, EASY-GOING AND FUNNY. I WOULD BE SO LUCKY TO BE FRIENDS WITH HIM. 🙃

[@normanalvarez5751]

Thanks for bringing me along

[@donaldfrazier5244]

Bentley is a great kid and I’m sure he won’t soon forget this adventure!

[@WisconsinWanderer]

It’s so cool to see how relaxed Bentley is with you! That says a lot to me! I never had that connection with my dad sadly!

i feel kinda refreshing to see this

[@DavidWoods-rk8st]

Me and my Freind used to slide vehicles over plowed fields and that was a laugh😂😄

[@gregbutler9873]

Great memory trip for Bentley , his kids will hear these stories of him and grandpa going on a long road trip of forgotten history .

[@TexasFamilyTvKlnm]

The BEST Vice grip garage I've seen so far. My son died in 2010 and this show has warmed my heart to see how a father and son can take a road trip like this and enjoy the adventures you have filmed. I miss my son so much and thank you for bringing a smile to this old man again.

[@radiodave1]

Derek... you're a BLAST to watch but love the MOST what an amazing dad and husband you are. I couldn't help talking about this video series on my radio program and promoting your channel. Keep up the great work!

[@terryford9837]

I've been a long haul truck driver for 37 years and have stopped or stayed at almost every place you've shown during your trip. I've loved every minute of it ! It saddens me to see so much of Americana shut down and tatted up but, I'm grateful for having had the opportunity to experience these places over the years! This has been a blast. Thank you my friend!!!

[@ChristopherBix]

From Tucson to Tucumcari, Tahachapi to Tonapah, as the song goes.

[@bumstead1383]

B. B. will be the teacher soon! He loves working with his pop and I can see him continuing the legacy. Smart kid, and what a difference having both parents committed to the family makes. It’s refreshing to see when today’s “ throw away “ society has become toxic imo. Good stuff gentlemen.

[@rich6789]

Its god first, wife, family. Love what you do. History repeats.

[@Junk_and_disorderly]

That closing scene brought a tear to my eye, thanks for taking us along in the trip with you guys!

[@LittleMoes_Motivation]

Wow!! This series Is awesome!!! Great memories with your son!!! The world needs more dads like you!!!

[@ScreamingLordStokes]

Thanks for taking us along Derek & Bentley. Really enjoyed this series from first to last.

[@kevinhenson6969]

Amazing road trip for father and son , I appreciate you letting us hang with you , you guys stay safe

[@kentmckean6795]

The flatbed Ford was the icing on the cake! Perfect ending for the epic trip.

[@bélalugrisi]

IKR? Best to you, Kent!

[@cannonfodder1835]

that road trup brings back memories for me, glad to see you make some lasting memories with your young guy

[@handyhippie6548]

"standing on a corner in winslow arizona, such a fine sight to see. it's a girl my lord, in a flatbed ford, slowing down to take a look at me!" one of my all time fave lines, from an all time fave song. love them eagles! used to have all of their albums back in high school, when they were still making new ones. you fellers take it easy, and thanx for letting us be a mouse in yer pocket on this trip.

[@jeffpowers2916]

Pretty awsome that you got to take this trip with the boy. Memories he will carry with him forever.

[@shaindaman13]

My Son died 2 years ago today. It was so nice to see Derek on the road with his Boy. It was almost as if I was there doing all those things with my Boy we didn’t get to do nearly enough of. I sure Love that ol Chevrolet too. They brought it a looong way since they pulled it from the field. 😊

[@Knight_of_NI]

25:02 Derick, I know it was a long trip with several breakdowns and not getting to all of the places you planned. However, I have no doubt seeing the joy on little man's face inside the tee-pee made every pitfall worth it!

[@davealbany9590]

That was a fantastic series, thanks for taking us along and I'm sure your son will remember it forever as well, if you don't make father of the year then I'll eat my hat

[@leonascherer1617]

Dereck, you are such a great father. Exposing your son to the wild west will stay with him forever. Arizona and New Mexico are full of forgotten towns that clearly tell you what was happening in the 50s and 60s. Maybe they will come back someday?

[@claztube]

No doubt a "Best of Show" series.

[@kamiraanddie12394]

Thanks for sharing this special trip with us Dman. I hope someday soon you'll take a family trip and just leave us at home so you can have some private time with them. You've been real generous and we really appreciate it! Much love AZ!

[@shelleyking8450]

Thanks to you and Bentley for taking us along on an awesome bucket-list trip. Sharing the adventure, the sights, AND the repairs will stick with us all. Hope to catch a ride down the old 66 sometime myself, it truly is a thing to experience.

Did it it’s worth it Beautiful Check out the Painted Hills in New Mexico Awesome. 😎💕🇺🇸

[@iancasey5855]

Great to see you enjoying this trip with your son, he will never forget it

[@Kbrusky15]

I remember when my dad ,sister and I did a tour of the southwest and he stood on a corner in Winslow Arizona. Memories for life!!

[@briannichols5470]

Its refreshing to see a father who is doing it right. most kids nowadays would have been stuck to a screen and not have seen 3.869 percent of the sights and experiences that you and your son shared together. What great memories that will be shared with your grandchildren and generations to come. Bently will grow to be a good man like his father and it gives a small sliver of hope for this lost world. Thanks for sharing the lesson that a lot of fathers should pay attention to.

[@jimadams5574]

Hi Derek and Bentley, thanks for taking us along! This was a fantastic series!

[@steve-en8hm]

Cracking trip. Your lad and yourself have made some memory’s like no other and most of all, made time for father and son. Really nice to see.

[@rickloera9468]

I took my son last year. We stayed at the Tee Pee Motel in Holbrock AZ. We had a blast. Best coffee at the coffee shop across the street from where you were standing in Winslow AZ. It was such a fine sight to see. You have given Bentley the best gift you can imagine. He will have that memory with you for the rest of his life. I now have to take his twin to see Route 66. We will be flying to Chicago to pick up a car, and the three of us will drive all of Route 66.

[@marct9634]

Love the videos Derek.... watching in the UK.

Absolutely made my day!!!!!! I’m a huge Eagles fan!! Derek you have no idea what your channel does me, it’s been a really tough week l lost my big brother this past week, he was a incredible guy and father, he was a fantastic man who taught me the automotive trade his 1940 ford coupe was a beautiful car as well many other classic cars he built, thank you so very much for all the great videos you and family do God Bless

[@rgreer3377]

Great content, love the father/son trip. Memories for the life time.

[@Missouri_Outlaw_1276]

Said it before during the crew cab carpet replacement and will say it again, Little Grip has some respect, love how he took his boots off before getting on the new carpet, and how he kept doing it the remainder of the trip.

Awesome trip with your son, I promise he will never forget it, and 30yrs from now, you’ll be at thanksgiving dinner at his house, and the grandkids can listen to the story he tells them about it.. what a wonderful display of what some mechanical skills can add too a life adventure. Somehow I have to feel like that old truck appreciated it’s second chance at a bucket list.too!!.. I’ve always felt old abandoned machines have a soul, waiting to be rescued.. Great Work!! Keep it up

[@normenderle550]

The interior really perked right up with all the work you’ve done to it, I bet that last leg of the trip was a fair bit more enjoyable once the bulk of the musty interior was replaced.

[@gmctech]

☺️ Brings back awesome memories of me, my two sisters, mom and dad blasting down the highway in dad's Oldsmobile station wagon listening to tunes on the 8 track and the always present rumble of that Oldsmobile big block. No seat belts, third row rear facing seat with the rear window down with not a care in the world just enjoying it! Damn those were the days... No tablets, no cell phones, no internet and still there weren't enough hours in the day to pack in all the fun and things to do!

[@mikebarriball]

THANK'S FOR THAT TRIP DOWN MEMORY LANE. WELL PUT''
