Alan reminds me of my uncle Leonard Davis, of Pontiac Mi. my uncle had an 8th grade education yet was able to restore brass and gas car to concourse perfection. To his list of cars he restored are 5 or so 1907 Packards 7 pass. 4 cy touring, 1907(?) Locomobile, 1910(?) Hupmobile, 1908 model T touring and I am sure there were many more that I am unaware of because I was to young to remember. Great job Allen and thank you to both for keeping the fine cars alive!

Hi Robert, Sounds like Uncle Leonard was taking cars of some fun cars :-) Thank you for viewing, sharing, and you're welcome, Lou

Another great car and automotive history lesson with Mr. Travis. I think it looks fantastic in that color with all that polished brass. What a great restoration! Thanks, Lou!

It sounds like this Mitchell was the muscle car of its day, over 300 cubes! Alen is a great caretaker and his passion really shows in his cars. This Mitchell iß a feast for the eyes - what a quality classic! Thank you Lou for a very special presentation!

[@loucostabile]

Hi Bruce H., "It sounds like this Mitchell was the muscle car of its day, over 300 cubes!" You're right. My pleasure sharing this car with you. You're welcome, Lou

[@ultraviolettp3446]

Lou does it again! What a brilliant vehicle to gaze upon. This is automotive art with the blue color augmented with brass and other polished metals sprinkled in and topped off by the burgundy looking interior leather. The Collector of this car is a true old soul who absolutely looks the part of being someone who would have owned and maintained this vehicle in the early 1900's. I smiled with glee with his passion and how his face lit up telling the story and history about the car. You are a true automotive aficionado, Lou, and I see your channel now as the Automotive Archive channel where you cross through all periods of automotive history and preserve these for future generations. I so value what you do, Lou!

Hi Lou. I've been watching this series and I've come to the conclusion that owning and driving a car back then was a heck of a lot of work. In those days folks thought it was luxury.

[@loucostabile]

Hi David, ....cleaning up and feeding a horse is a lot of work too :-)

[@DavidJones-rk5do]

@@loucostabile very true. Can you imagine having to saddle up your horse or hitch up the wagon every time you went somewhere,? We really have it made nowadays. I'd still love you to feature a '61 Impala SS sometime.

What a beautiful color and such a rare unique car that most people have never heard of myself included.

[@stephencivic1989]

I love watching this channel. It’s like having pieces of a museum come to life and coming to me on my phone. The only thing missing is either John Williams Jurassic Park theme, or the Night at the Museum score playing in the background.

[@loucostabile]

Hi Stephen Civic#18, I love that you're enjoying the Channel with me. Happy to bring the museum to life with you, Lou

[@alexkalish8288]

I love the Brass era cars, they have real personality and were all hand made. Restoring this car in two months would be impossible for me and i'm an engineer as well. I takes me a couple years to get a model T restored to this condition. His shop is superb - the car is an amazing engineering achievement for the brass era. The advance and throttle are opposite sides of the column from the early fords. Thanks Lou - your photography is outstanding.

[@loucostabile]

Hi Alex, I'll share a story. Alan noticed there was a brass nut with a cap on it missing on one side of the canopy, and I watched him make an exact copy from scratch from a chunk of brass in about 15 minutes. It was like watching a magic trick. Glad you're enjoying this series, and stay tuned, another one coming next Sunday, Lou

[@garylewis3641]

We all have to start somewhere and it’s really interesting how things transform to what we have now. Sounds like more of a train than a car we’re used to, thanks Lou, I really enjoyed the video!

What a treat to see this. I am amazed at the detail of craftsmanship, and engineering that went into these old cars. The condition of this car is amazing too. Great restoration work on a car that has to be difficult also. It runs so well! Thanks for another great video.

[@davidgrisez]

This car is from the early history of automobiles. This car very different from cars that were made later. I noticed the individual cylinders that with external pushrods and rocker arms for the valves. I noticed that the intake valves were on the bottom and exhaust valves on top. That total loss oil system with a drip oiler is unique. Also an early car like this was hand made and very expensive to purchase. A person had to be wealthy to afford a car like this.
