[@DennisCollinsCarWorld]

We have confirmed from Thomas and his sister that this is, in fact, his father's Bel Air! GYSOT!

[@stephenridgway3886]

Will he sell it? Yup.

[@nickbolson4562]

So bad ass gysot

[@joebradley7317]

Truely is a SMALL world. Thomas will never sell that car cause it was his diddy's !!!!

[@keyrone77]

Outstanding ✊✊

[@rsprockets7846]

epic awesum find

[@capedwonder2833]

Love to see Thomas again dropping knowledge all over the place. He needs his own show again.

[@michaelking550]

Mr Weeks is awesome.. need too have him on more often.

[@wakeupamericaandresist2413]

Thomas is a wealth of knowledge, thanks for the information because I’m always learning from the men that were playing with cars before me , I would hire Thomas before the other guys for a real honest car , knowledge is king ( Thomas ) 👏👏✌️✌️✊✊ Nothing but respect Thomas ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️👍👍👍

[@rickigunter1960]

Yes..Yes..Yes.. he would be doing the world a favor to get back on KZbin and start putting out videos again

[@willemp6432]

That`s the best I have seen Thomas ever...This 👍👍👍👍goes to Thomas....

[@rickigunter1960]

Amen !

[@aproudamerican2692]

*I couldn't be happier for Thomas and his sister.* I wish we could have seen his reaction when he found out. But him just having it is good enough.

[@ArtVandelayOfficial]

He was already close to cracking up seeing it, overcome with emotion it's beautiful

[@nicholasswisher5588]

He knew deep down what he was coming after before he left the house

[@dennispond4822]

When he was looking under the hood and saw the silver paint he started to choke up a little bit.

[@kennethsonier1766]

Absolutely remarkable that you found your buddy's father's car. Outstanding! This is a great segment thanks for sharing 👍☮️🇺🇲

[@izzydizzy1115]

So great to see Thomas Weeks again! Thanks Dennis for another outstanding video! You guys are true "Texas Gentlemen"

[@jeffmosley4043]

Always fun to watch Thomas get excited when he gets to talk about cars. Happy that it was his Dad's car. Would love to see it restored. Great video. Stay safe and God be with you always.

[@rikumoi3136]

Incredible find!! Thomas is truly moved from abt 12:50 onwards, really overwhelmed.You can see him shaking & emotional. My respect to Thomas grew 1000%. Great lesson on the 57's!

[@lewbaxter243]

Thomas has forgotten more than a lot of “car guys” will ever know! His knowledge is endless and the fact that he shares it so easily defines him as a true gentleman!

[@rickeycompton5518]

If Thomas restores the '57 I want to see it complete

[@trashpanda2312]

I would leave it just like it is.

[@TheAslakVind]

Never restore a car like this, make it a daily driver. No bling, no buff. That would be a crime.

[@tomwinkle1597]

Whatever he wants to do with it will be excellent!

[@tomwinkle1597]

I think my Mom had a thing for Thomas back when he use to dance. Ricky Furr and I played basketball together in the 70's and he use to try to get me up there. I was scared, wish I would have done it now.

[@donnatalielucasheimbigner7598]

Great to see Thomas again. It is a wild moment to see him so excited about SPENDING money; he usually is so close to the chest about being excited. I sure hope that the car turns out to be his dad's. Most likely is, but really rooting for it to be. Love the amount of knowledge Thomas has.

[@markszczepaniak5888]

It was about time to have Thomas on coffee walk, I truly enjoyed this episode . Great education lesson and great interaction, just the way he talks he has a passion just like the rest of us watching your channel. That's outstanding it turned out to be his Father's car!

[@kevinbarrett9615]

I loved this episode, Thomas, my dad was a Korean War vet too, in the Canadian forces . He was looking for work and went to the Canadian Railway for a job. The guy asked him “what have you been doing ?” My dad said “I just got back from Korea” , guy said “ over there” pointed to the hiring office. Worked for over 35 years, he said it was the only good thing about being in that war. I salute your dad and my dad and all the others who fought in the “Forgotten War”.

[@freemansgarage]

Yes, it is the "Forgotten War" & I think about it every single day. Respects to all the men who did time over there.

[@markothwriter]

My dad was in the Korean War also. People do forget about it.

[@kevinhall2266]

So happy to hear that it’s Thomas’ dads. What a find and reunion…priceless.

[@stephen9048]

Well done Collins Crew!

[@ziptiejedi5658]

Always enjoy when Thomas stops in and drops some knowledge on classic cars. He seems like he would be an awesome dude to hang out and have a beer with

[@bntrouble31]

I could listen to Thomas talk cars all day!

[@dudebud72]

I’m glad I got to see this older video! Great to see Thomas! Brings back memories when I’d travel with the kids and during nap time the misfit garage, Gas monkey , and street outlaws would be DVR. Honestly on my final days, and so enjoyable to watch

[@What_do_say_think]

We had a pink and white one when I was a kid. My mom drove it like a race car. Once knocked the hubcaps off another car going around a sharp curve. Another time she took a phone pole down with it before my dad sold it. I still remember him complaining about having to pay seventy five dollars for a phone pole, lol. She was a Cracker Jack, for sure. My brother bought a race car once and had to move it asap but couldn’t get a wrecker or trailer so while he was gone looking for a way to move it, my mom jumped in it fired it up and took off down an eight lane road through the middle of town, the ten miles or so to her place doing about ninety all the way, bragging about not hitting a single red light the whole way. Tons more stories about my mom, the strongest, smartest most real hero you’ve ever met. My hero and the reason for the things I’ve done in my life that I’m proud of and a couple that I’m not so proud of. Lol. One day I’ll write a book.

[@williamcooper2368]

It's a small WORLD. We sometimes forget that. AMAZING

[@jdias51]

Thomas has been the very same on every show every piece of social media he seems like a genuine good dude

[@clintprice2123]

Outstanding video, nice to see Thomas and happy to read it actually was his dad’s car! Coffee Walk is a great part of my day!

[@ducky63]

Not forgetting Mr. Weeks. Seems to be a really nice guy, always enjoyed watching him. Two guru’s gettin’ into it. Wonderful.

[@poita_m7142]

OMG!!!! Didnt read the comments until I finished watching video...i got chills on this when I read it was his dad's old 57'. I would have loved to have been there to see his reaction. What would be the odds...so happy for Thomas to be reunited with his dad's car. I picked up the emotion in his voice as he was walking around it and imagining it was. Ive been around car over 30yrs and that is one of the stories you rarely hear and so happy too hear...somethings are meant to be and this one of them....great job Dennis and team. OUTSTANDING..👏 👍

[@freemansgarage]

We're lucky all of it was on film too.

[@victoriarichards7813]

Wow, what a font of knowledge Thomas and Dennis are, imagine if you both teamed up, so great to see Alex learning from the masters, inspiring!

[@chowchowloverdave3022]

Alex has the best boss and teacher!

[@madcowmark7129]

Really like Thomas and I hope his OK. He just didn't seem to look to well. Hopefully it was just the hot weather. Fantastic news to hear that it was his Father's ol'57. Cheers. Mark. Australia.

[@allenshafer7704]

Fantastic episode again! Thomas seems like a genuine wealth of knowledge. Glad he was reunited with his Dad's car

[@johndavey72]

The reason why l enjoy watching your show Dennis is because you never have a problem admitting that you don't know everything. And Thomas is so knowledgable . I think the 2 of you probably know all you ever need to know about these period classics . And yes, l remember Thomas from "Gas Monkey " and "Misfit " . Thankyou both for entertaining and educating us . ( You really hit the jackpot with that last show )

[@bradleysmith6442]

Thomas has knowledge that only years of experience can get you, very cool, love it.

[@dennisconnolly1]

Cool to see Thomas again, he's never short on conversation!

[@richardparkinson8651]

I've always enjoyed Thomas, a genuine Honest guy,

[@TorontoModifiedKarKlub]

OUTSTANDING Dennis. Will we see a update on this at some point. You are a class act Dennis. We enjoy you and your staff each week.

[@keithwright7874]

That is so cool that it was his dad’s car and so cool to see Thomas 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@Bill-xo8hz]

So jealous of Alex!! He is very lucky to get to hangout with these kind of guys!! You can tell Dennis thinks a lot of him!

[@rpmfreak9150]

Finding out that this car did infact belong to Thomas Weeks father,is one of the most incredible stories that I have ever seen on any car channel. Thanks for letting us in on the story Dennis, watching Thomas getting so excited about the car was one of the best moments in KZbin history in my personal opinion. I must confess that I was a huge fan of Misfit Garage, that was one of the better spin offs from fast and loud. Hell in all honesty it was the only good spin off. I started to laugh my ass off about the show" Aaron Kaufman needs a Job" but seeing how he averages, about $40,000 a week and is worth over 8 million dollars" he's the one laughing his ass off" all the way to the Bank! 😜💯

[@christopheryoung4478]

It's nice to see Thomas again, and always will dig his history lessons.

[@justinwalsh4583]

Hello from Ireland. Great coffee walk this week. Nice to hear from Thomas again and great news about the car. Top notch stuff!

[@battlemage4885]

Glad to see Thomas get ahold of one of his papa's vehicles. It brought a huge smile to my face. And the wealth of knowledge that Thomas brings to the channel is invaluable.

[@praokon]

Loved this. Was cool to see how happy Thomas was, was like a kid in a candy store! Keep up the great work gentlemen and keep smilin!

[@als57chev76]

I really enjoy Dennis & Thomas discussing and sharing their knowledge about cars with us. You two men really know your facts. Thanks for sharing.

[@allmightygreat1892]

2 of the coolest dudes from an old tv show. You guys rock.

[@GeorgeSmith-ze5vk]

Dude!!! Its’s Thomas Weeks… I met him in Vicksburg Ms when he was towing a Lincoln home … awesome guy..super nice…. Let my son sit in the car he was pulling home…told us all about the car.. super knowledgeable..

[@ianmitchell1594]

Another awesome show great to see Thomas again with his knowledge on car’s. One down side is filming beside the main road I couldn’t here some of the information about the car. But another 👍up keep them coming and try and catch up with Thomas when he finishes the 57.

[@danjones1365]

I was saying the same thing to myself the whole first half of the video. Why film with camera mic facing traffic!?

[@alphadog1961]

I really like this show.I know more about '57 Chevy's now than half an hour ago.Two excellent automotive men.

[@jasonalexander3080]

Outstanding!! Really enjoy watching yall. Thomas is just like a long lost relative. Dennis I'm glad I subscribed a while back ago I enjoy more more your a genuine guy

[@freemansgarage]

You can always smell a faker & I don't smell anything here. They must just turn the camera on & roll.

[@darrencasey8167]

You are a bloody top bloke Dennis. I’m from Australia and absolutely love your segments. You would be a really great friend to have. A true friend always thinks about his mates and what you did for Tomas was second to none. And to read that comment and keep us all informed that is was his father car brought tears to my eyes.

[@davidsantos8206]

Absolutely love this stuff. Everytime I think that the back story can't get any better. You prove me wrong. What an incredible story. Thank you for bringing us along. Congratulations Thomas

[@jollyjumps4845]

love seeing thomas again and so glad it was his daddys love the episodes all the way here in new zealand.

[@toddbrown2236]

It's nice to see Thomas again. And it's awesome that the '57 was in fact his dad's old car. Very cool. Congrats Thomas!

[@dewdew34]

Thomas looks exactly like he did on the show. No pretensions, just the same down to earth fellow. Dennis should give him some t shirts though. :)

[@jsmith9970]

What an amazing life you have made for yourself. You’re living the dream. And yet you’re humble. I never hear anything about money or bragging. Just excitement from finding the car. I’m jealous.

[@dustoff1472]

I hope the car turns out to be his Dads. It took me 9 years to rebuild my junk yard find 57 Nomad (it was just the bare shell and frame) It’s not perfect, but it’s mine and with a lot of help I can get in it and drive it at a moment’s notice. My wife and I take it to a few shows each year and really enjoy just driving it. Enjoying the channel. Tks for sharing.

[@larrycook4632]

Like Thomas said you are the King of cars Dennis. Really enjoyed Thomas being on the show. Make sure you bring him back again soon.

[@rayhubbard1367]

Thomas is one of my all time favorite car guys. He does all his car stuff because he loves it. To see him this emotional hit me in the feels.

[@JohnnieBravo1]

this one almost made me cry just a little bit. Awesome for Thomas and his Sis. Hope to see Misfits again soon. GYSOT!

[@daviclar867]

Wish my dad was still around to watch this. He was a young gear head who built his own '57 chevy when he was 17 in 1965. He grew up on a dairy farm in Iowa, bought hot rod magazine and loved Richard Petty!

[@tripprogers4814]

Dennis and Thomas. America needs you.

[@richardsuter2816]

Dennis your genuine respect you show to however you communicate with is outstanding ! Your knowledge,craftsmanship & willingness to share this knowledge with your team Is exlemtory ! Obviously restoring hiding Jim’s is your business! Thank you for doing this so well ,to you & your team !! Thank you from OZ

[@johndean2925]

Good to see two friends working together, friendly banter and video that makes you feel like you are almost there in person...Thank You!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Dad's car...Unbelievable!!!

[@eddiezweers4158]

We all love Thomas. Great car. Love the 1963 Chevy Impala convertible at the back @8:15 aswell.

[@partridgepimp3363]

Always cool to hear someone talk about something they have a passion for. Thomas knows them 57 Chevys, so happy for him and his family to get there dad’s car back. Very cool coffee walk👍

[@johnkirby6547]

That's so cool to hear you found his dad's car! It's home again...

[@mrmoss149]

You have added another jewel in your heavenly crown, for being the one who found this for Thomas. Everything happens for a reason, my friends. Well done.

[@sportsterray66]

Hey Dennis, love your videos, and I've got a '57 story for you. Back in '81 when I was 15, my family took a trip to San Antonio from Chicago, to visit my step mother's parents. While I was there, I walked the neighborhood looking at nice old cars, and one street over, and a block down, I found an all original '57 Bel Air 2-door hardtop, black/black & silver interior, 283 Power Pack V8 with 4-barrel and dual exhaust, powerglide, power steering, power brakes, electric wipers & washer pump, Wonderbar radio, spinner hubcaps, and one piece front bumper (cars West of the Mississippi got one piece bumpers, East got the three piece ones, ask Thomas). The car was an all original one owner car that they bought new when they got married, and it was daily driven up until '79 when it was parked in the short driveway next to the house. It had 98k miles, slightly faded paint, a few seams separated on the front seat, and the driver's side vent window was cracked, but otherwise in great shape with no rust, and no accidents (all four ends of the bumpers lined up perfectly with the indentations in the body). I talked the old man into selling it to me, and said that all I could come up with was $800 (he looked surprised because he probably paid $1,800 new), because back at home I had a nice triple dark green 318 '71 Challenger that I talked my mom into buying for me for $400 (it was definitely worth at least $800), after my parents got divorced, and my mom had some money. I tried REALLY hard to convince my dad to loan me the money to buy it, and I would've sold the Challenger to pay him back. We could've pushed it over to my step mother's parents house until we could go back to get it home later, but he wouldn't even go look at it, and said "Do you really think Tilly would let me give you $800 for a car?" I was so pissed, I found my dream car, cheap, and couldn't get it. Later my dad realized it was probably a great deal, but trying to give me money with having a new wife wasn't a good idea to him. I would've been the only freshman in my high school with a nice stock black '57 Bel Air, and it would've been restored completely stock also. 😔

[@lordden1243]

It would be awesome to see Thomas's reaction going over dad's papers and finding out that it was his. Awesome find great episode.

[@vickiodonald7590]

Thank you so much for letting us know Wonderful story

[@paulwest4755]

That's awesome happy for Thomas , that's absolutely amazing to find his dad's 57 Chevy after all these years. And thank you Dennis for all the great videos you guys make , I absolutely look forward to them.

[@roytrevisan3491]

Wow just wow the knowledge and the passion that Thomas has, earned through thousands of hours grinding on this and many other vintage American cars. The exchange around the guys applying lacquer, smoking darts, no masks is just mind boggling. Thank you Thomas mush respect and more love!!

[@hondamancl450]

I am so happy for Thomas 😂glad he found it ❤️

[@bobgarrett6202]

My best friend came home from Vietnam and found his mother's old 56 Chevy at a gas station for sale.That was in 1970 and he still has it.

[@courtneesdad]

Thomas weeks and Dennis Collins are probably two of the top 5 people when it comes to automobile knowledge. On the next subject, I miss Tom Smith. He always had me laughing and he is a pretty good mechanic. You guys picked a terrible location to film. I can barely understand what y’all are saying. I tried to put it on CC but there was none ☹️. I still love the show. My favorite day of the week is Friday because I get to watch Coffee Walk ❤️

[@Bumblebee4788]

Tom Smith was the best....

[@battlemage4885]

Really? Tom Smith just seemed like the bumbling idiot to me, granted I know that's how Pedowood sets him up as, but he never seemed to be anyone of knowledge.

[@richardcooke44]

Any coffee walk with Thomas in is always worth a watch, he is a legend 🙌 his knowledge is extensive. Try getting Thomas and Phipps together on a coffee walk Dennis you would be able to just sit back and relax 😌

[@GenX...MCMLXV]

What a trip. Thomas is such a good guy --Stoked that thing came back around to him

[@charlie1832]

I always liked Thomas on fast and loud and then when he had his own show, good to see him again. He should make his own KZbin channel

[@thomasgaide2991]

That it soooo cool! Thomas is a cool dude, I am glad he scored his dad's old 57`

[@brianstumo8581]

Thats awsome I,ll bet you could say Dreams Do Come True ! Congrats to both Dennis & Thomas Dennis 4 finding, buying, & offering it to Thomas & Thomas being able to get his Dads car!

[@tonybosworth5382]

So cool to find that for Thomas! I watched every second waiting ti hear if it was his dad’s. Seeing the comments and reading that was AWESOME 🤩

[@Doingmybesr]

That would be awesome to find one of my pops old car or trucks from back in the day great find 👍🏼

[@josephmccormack6910]

Gotta get Thomas back on the air. His knowledge, history and passion shows through. Outstanding.

[@maxrocatansky5516]

Ya on utube its real..on TV its scripted bullshit fake drama..that's why this stuff is great. If Dennis was on TV I probably won't watch.

[@davidmcginnis2075]

It was drama stuff deadline crap it was all made up junk, I think if you had to ask Dennis or even Rollins they would agree it was a bunch of deadline bs, just like American Choppers and all the fake reality that wasn't really reality!

[@josephmccormack6910]

I disagree....it turned out to be his father's car. (They probably knew that ahead of time but still a great story). Thomas knows his stuff. He's been around a while. I enjoyed the video and Dennis, while privileged, knows the craft and auto history is entertaining. Thomas needs more exposure to compliment his knowledge.

[@burlowsurviorhills4584]

Two old Car guys I love it and Thomas is a cool dude and knowledged by Time and sweat. Dennis is a Car guru and a smart man what a Team .. Again Love it.

[@vincentconte6973]

So much great info from a great guy that knows his stuff. Glad to see that he got his dads car back!

[@jonathanolsen7254]

That is so cool, Back in the late 50s into the late 60s my father had a towing service in Saint Paul Minnesota. There he had a 57 150 post that took on a tree and messed up the right rear bumper, The car had about 12,000 on the miles, So it came time to sell the tow yard and I asked if I could buy the car from my father I got it for my birthday Gift, It has a 283 with a 2 speed no radio but all stock also in the trunk there was tons of 57 Chevy parts that were from a 210, All the in side and out side trim to a 210 a radio hub caps 2 sets of the wright Rims, seat belts, and more parts for a 57, Man what a neat birthday gift, I am almost 70 now and still have that car. Thanks Dad.

[@richardhutchings921]

In 1962, I got my very first car. a one owner 1957 Chevy convertible. Bought it from a friend, who was going to trade it in. 283 V8, four on the floor Hurst. Honduras Maroon with a black and white interior. I drove it until 1965 when I joined the Air Force. Gave it to my Sister.

[@timmarquez713]

Thomas is so funny! The guy never stops talking!😂😂😂😂

[@jeffshockley9834]

That is so Awesome! I love it when Thomas is on Coffee Walk! Oh Man! I felt like crying seeing him so happy about that car. This is why I love Coffee Walk!

[@gallegos77pgr]

That's is so cool... You found his dad's 57.... You truly are the KING .... 😎✌👍

[@Nichole-440HP]

all the '57 4 doors are in Canada . Dan from DD's speedshop is slowly but surely converting them all to 2 doors lol

[@waynekaminski5438]

Thomas is one-of-a-kind, a true character, and it is great that this is his dad's 57 Bel Air. Thomas can talk your ear off, but pay attention because he is a firehose of information that even if a little bit sinks in your noggin you will walk away a better person for listening.

[@williamland1]

So awesome to see this video I can’t Imagine how Thomas feels right now to get his fathers car I know what that would mean to me. great video Dennis

[@paulwells4203]

Two guys that love cars, have a ton of knowledge that they are willing to share with the rest of us, thats KZbin at its best. Thanks Dennis and Thomas, glad you found your dads car, let us see that picture of you standing on the front seat when you were 8 years old!

[@robertfisher632]

both Thomas and Dennis know so much about American cars it's a joy to listen to them.

[@graemerandall2123]

What an awesome find I can’t imagine how Thomas and his sister felt when they realised it was their father’s car. Now that’s outstanding 👌👍😎🇦🇺

[@rodstanley881]

It’s nice to see people really loving cars

Love seeing Thomas. So cool that’s his dads old car. He’s such a wealth of knowledge. You and Alex are too Dennis. Always thoroughly enjoy watching and learning from you guys.

[@benallen395]

Thing i love most about these 2 and they have explained it in other videos. dennis was young getting into cars and thomas and his dad were his mentors taught him alot. The knowledge thomas has is crazy and i consider dennis now one of the most correct car hunters there is its not just a flip and a car he gets all the history. He really enjoys the history behind the car and thats what its about.

[@keokimalulani3354]

Thomas needs to start a engine channel... Fun to listen to
