[@joeodonnell9290]

Donald what makes your review special is the history lesson you give us…..Thanks!

[@AudrainMuseumNetwork]

Thank you for watching!

[@josephrobichaud5198]

That huge steering wheel, having to turn it 4 " to get any response brings back fond memories.

[@THROTTLEPOWER]

I agree!

[@machpodfan]

Just feel so much happiness watching this--the fabulous host, the history, the beautiful car, it's so satisfying!

[@AudrainMuseumNetwork]

Thank you!

[@radioguy1620]

Thanks to the owner for sharing his car, It has a great home now. great review Donald, I was born in 52 and still remember the excitement each fall would bring with the new models.

[@danlove4270]

It’s nice to be able to enjoy these cars this way

[@bigsarge2085]

Would be a great family weekend cruiser!

[@AudrainMuseumNetwork]

Definitely!

[@dougcargill6730]

Gawd, I love this era. A friend had a ‘55 Mercury Sun Valley. It was glorious!

[@QueerOkie]

Theres something just so appealing about piloting a brightly colored classic car down a scenic two lane on a clear late autumn/early winters day!

[@TM-gg9ko]

Thank you so much for showing cars like this. It so refreshing and interesting to learn about them

[@AudrainMuseumNetwork]

Our pleasure!

Good Morning Donald . I was born in 1953 and l can comfirm that my earliest memories are father squeezing every last ounce of power from his Ford Zepher Six in around 1956 down the Bovey Straights (UK) and try as he might he (thankfully!) couldn't get that magic "ton " ! I adore that delta wing hood adornment ! We mustn't forget that although this is post WW2 the Korean War was still active in 1953 . Thankyou Donald

[@bruceparker9353]

Mr. Osborne, Keep em coming! As a previous owner of a 54 Capri, and a 58 Skyliner, I really appreciate these videos!

[@johnagreen883]

Your observations, musings, and just general character are so much fun. Thank you yet again Donald, for your enthusiasm and passion for what to others may only be old cars. You make me smile.

[@AudrainMuseumNetwork]

Thank you so much for watching!

[@richcoleman469]

Very informative and nostalgic for me with the fotos. My first 3 cars were 46, 54 and 57 Ford's in the 60's and my folks had a new 53 Plymouth, a 54 pontiac, 55 Olds, 56 Merc and later a 55 Dodge and a 54 Chevy. Thanks so much.

[@AudrainMuseumNetwork]

Thanks for sharing!

[@Jimmysidecarr]

Awesome episode! Love this channel!

[@garywebb7481]

My sister had one just like that before she was married. The Skyliner was very neat back then. I was only six or seven then and had just seen an add for the new Corvette and was hooked on cars from then on.

[@FunAtDisney]

I love how Donald manages to make it feel like you’re right there, sitting in the passenger seat next to him out for a drive!

[@AudrainMuseumNetwork]

Thank you for enjoying the show!

[@stevennathaniel4191]

Awesome car I love it

[@OmarDenarzi]

Really appreciate the continuous work and effort you guys put into making these reviews, And special thanks for Mr. Donald for sharing knowledge and passion with petrolheads like himself, Really love the post war & 1950s American automobiles that in their time were the most prestigious cars in the entire world, And I really enjoy these kind of videos that feature cars wich regular people could actually afford to buy and drove it in its time (The Glorious Jet Age & sputnik of the 1950s), Plus I would really appreciate it if you guys more car like this one❤.

[@AudrainMuseumNetwork]

Thank you very much for your kind words!

[@martinstyblo6355]

Thanks you so much for this episode and sharing the gem of automotive history! Great narration, and the engine sound in background really makes the cruising enjoyable too!

[@motorTranz]

Beautiful and rare! Thank you for sharing Donald!

[@marcoluoma3770]

Thanks. Love the car, love the color, love the commentary. If there’s a more likable presenter on YT, I can’t name him or her. Thanks again.

[@AudrainMuseumNetwork]

Wow, thank you so much for the support!

[@RasmussenStewartAuto]

Awesome video and fantastic delivery by Donald! You are a treasure and I am so awe-struck by your show! Thank you for doing such a great job. And oh, BTW, your attire should be a measure/standard other auto reviewers should take note of. Tired of the tired clothes others try to get away with!! Thank you! I ALSO loved Perry Mason and the CARS!!!! And the clothes!!! I started with season 1 and watched EVERY episode! Glad to know I'm not the only one!!

[@THROTTLEPOWER]

Cool car, nice vid! 🤜🤛

[@donaldwiller9238]

Great job Donald 👍

[@royrogers2146]

In 1956 my father was given a Victoria Skyliner as a high school graduation gift. His only complaint was getting cooked in the summer by the glass roof.

[@kennethswain6313]

Lucky guy

[@pierceaero3005]

Sweet! I saw one of these on the street in the northwest valley, in good running patina condition, for $500. About 10 miles west of Jay Leno's Garage. It was gone by the time I dialed the number on the for sale sign. So close. 😊

[@dcoop05]

Another great review from Donald. There are several crestline-ers in my neck of the woods. So this was especially interesting

[@AudrainMuseumNetwork]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@JuanRodriguez-km9hl]

Great show ❤🎉

[@thomasjordan5578]

Donald your 54 handles much better than previous year Ford because it went to ball joints. Also your BW automatic has three ratios, the lowest ratio not routinely used, it starts in second. Thanks for showing us this ultimate 54 Ford.

[@davidjernigan8161]

And Paul Drake always had the sportier car.

[@alandinsmore]

Great video review of our family cruiser which was only a crestliner victoria. I am surprised that you did not also mention the introduction of the modern ball joint suspension another selling point with the overhead valve v8.

[@hoodagooboy5981]

The clear top on this 70 year old car looks better than the clear top on my '97 Vette. Mine is all crazed and cloudy, and I keep it in a garage and had covered parking at work. Things were just built better back then.

[@iggyzorro2406]

did you like Lois Lane's Nash, Don?

[@truckerkevthepaidtourist]

When time allows is Jay going to be joining you again? I know he's got a lot of things going on back at the house and needs to stay closer to California for the most part but I just wondered if there's any plans again to get together. That Ford was a unique one Mercury had one that was just like it too it was almost a clone with just different badging

[@thebestisyettocome4114]

There is No network. This is KZbin. I'm watching a KZbin channel. KZbin as a whole , is a internet network. The latest gentleman says this , He has his own network which would be untrue. Welcome to KZbin.

[@AudrainMuseumNetwork]

It's just the name of our channel.. and we are very proud of it!

[@mwyatt222]

my grandmother gave me her 53' Customliner which is essentially the same car w/ two more doors and no sauna glass top. When l got it in the 80s it was still like new. Less than 50k on it. immaculately maintained at the dealership. They eventually had to store special parts for her. Sadly the car was stolen on a road trip while eating in Waco Tx. They found the car stripped and burnt out.
