Garlic City Car Show | Director's Cut

[@Allmusic956]

We have a similar gathering of old cars, both classic and hot rods. up in Ladysmith BC. There has been in excess of 300 cars for a few years now. Ladysmith is a small town of around 10,000.

[@The_R-n-I_Guy]

That Turnpike Cruiser is amazing. You don't see many all original cars from that era.

[@kevinsukdolak5007]

Nice save on the turnpike cruiser

[@Gaur1983]

That original unrestored Mercury Turnpike Cruiser was something else.

[@DianeEllis-xk1jj]

Love fresh garlic and classic cars. Great combination. Heard that garlic is called German Penicillin!

[@joshuajohnson313]

Gottt... Danggg!!!.... That Turnpike Cruiser is a work of art & one heck of a awesome find. Well done gentlemen well done.....

[@BigdogLewis]

Love your show and enjoy your enthusiasm. Kid in a candy store. Lucky guy!

[@MixNutzNBoltz]

Sir, I too agree

[@martentrudeau6948]

Great show, town, people, cars, and weather and the Dennis Gage portrait looked classy too.

[@toddwilliams5905]

You got lucky with the weather. Gilroy is a HOT town in August.

[@eddiepowell6274]

Lived in Gilroy in the late 70's . Wish i never left!

[@gilroychamber]

Wow, it's hard to believe this was over two years ago! We are so excited to be bringing the Garlic City Car Show back to Downtown Gilroy on Saturday, June 18! Swing by and say hi if you're in the area, Dennis!

[@MyClassicCarTV]

We really had a great time when we shot the show in 2019. Nice town. Cool event. Hope you have a great show again this year!

[@davidtosh7200]

Like that 1967 antique VW Safari Bus with swing out split windshield (it last year for this feature) and 8 skylights on the roof. Some VW owners do install the pre-1940 sealed beam headlights to customized their vehicles, also its last year, since 1968 VW Buses, and Westfalia campers are totally restyled. By the way, the 1967 VW bus is European style because the blade bumpers without the over riders and vertical bars are removed.

[@ConwayT91]

that Mercury is out of this world!

[@wmadamzzz]

I got an email telling me that a new show from MyClassicCarTV and Dennis Gage was available. I was ready to sit down and watch it. But, I had to go pickup grandkids after school and it was about 3 hours before I got back and sat right down to watch it. Glad to see it back on a regular basis and there were some really cool cars to ogle. I love that Dennis still gets excitd about all kinds of cars. Thanks, MyClassicCar.

[@MixNutzNBoltz]

Can relate here too, hehehe. Love cool old looking rides. bring back memory lane. a happy one.

[@bradcarroll3719]

Me three! I'm way too young to have seen them when they were new, but I sure wish I had. I appreciate the classics very much.

[@Chunkerdunkers12]

Man that blue 36 is incredible!!! So great

[@R.J.1]

So much quality. Reminds of Back to the 50s in MN.

[@discmotoslots]

you know when you are getting close to Gilroy from the wonderful smell of garlic!

[@americanspirit8932]

I remember driving there to visit a friend of mine, you are absolutely right I could smell garlic miles before I arrive

[@groovyhippie1165]

Wow, some real heavy hitters in this show. Great car after great car.

[@josemedeiros007]

Cool episode, I didn't even know Gilroy had a car show.

[@jnywd8450]

My favorite car show on tv. I try to catch the moustache guy every weekend.

[@richardbarthelme6323]

"J.A.T.O. Thrust " ( Pronounced 'Jay-toe' ) is an old acronym for "Jet Assisted Take Off" from the military technology of the day. Rocket strapped to prop powered aircraft to shorten take off distance with large loads.

[@BillB23]

[@raspucin70]

@@BillB23 You arent the only one...

[@hertzair1186]

R. Ben Barthelme theautojunkie : also used on jet aircraft...first used by the Germans in WW2

[@bradcarroll3719]

Im sure it felt like it needed J.A.T.O. getting that 5,000lb behemoth off the line, with the high axle ratios used on that type of car, and the automatic transmissions of the era. lol That said, oh what I'd give to go cruise the Turnpike in that Turnpike Cruiser!!!

[@THRASHMETALFUNRIFFS]

There was an actual rocket powered assist rear differential they were testing in drag racing that added like an instant 10000 horsepower

[@MixNutzNBoltz]

Very much bringing back memory lane rides. So awesome and cools rides. I enjoy looking at this kind of rides

[@eric81872]

Thank you for the video!😜👍❤

[@alexishart364]

I love old cars and hot rods my favorite

[@BooRadley452]

Gilroy is a cool little town. I used to go through there on my way from Durham NC to Santa Clara. Those were the good old days. 🙂

[@mikesonneson2824]

Enjoyed this episode immensely. Really liked the choice of vehicles. Love cars you don't see everyday and love original unadulterated body lines....especially with all the original stainless and chrome. That 54 Chevy is a great work of art in idea,design and execution. I have never been a fan of pinstriping but the artist who did this car nailed a beautiful design.Great color choice for both the stripes and the car. I would like to see this car featured in a magazine and also know the name of the pinstriper. Really impressed with that car. Leaving all the chrome and emblems gets an A+ in my book.

[@avirtualworld4U]

The 36 from 3:45 sings to the very soul of American Hot Rodding, man it is cool well done and full of that man's soul and it shows amazing.

[@lateefcarrere1649]

The '36 Ford, the 21 Window Bus, the iconic Eldo, & "6InARow" were really some machines to behold...I'm glad Dennis thought so, too.

[@brinkybrinkz]

Really good episode. Amazing cars. Gilroy car show rocks. Looks like a great town.

[@2098elk]

Great cars with really really nice people. Thanks.

[@randybiby9757]

Great episode! The 59 Cadillac and 57 Mercury were beautiful. But the 54 Chevy was the best! Loved that car.

[@mommabear6939]

[@THRASHMETALFUNRIFFS]

Garlic is great for you! I helped my bud plant and harvest and process about 10k a yr for awhile back in the day... Again I seen stuff I never seen... Power VENT WINDOWS?!?!

[@bradcarroll3719]

That Turnpike Cruiser! !I Oh how I wish designers were allowed to use their imagination designing cars today, and not designing to a committee. I know the safety regulations are a serious hurdle, but take the Alfa Romeo 4C for example. Its gorgeous! The Italians put their passion into their cars. Americans used to, but now are cut off by the bean counters. I just really want to want an American car! I do want hundreds, but nothing made lately. Scratch that, the new 2020 Corvette is marvelous! It's the first Corvette I have wanted, other than classic ones in my lifetime. That project is a great one for other companies to get inspired by.

[@BooRadley452]

I appreciate your passion for cars. 👍

[@thebob01]

Love the 59 Caddy.

[@jorgejefferson8251]

That 57 Mercury Turnpike Cruiser motor's name of "JATO" was probably a take from the U.S. Airforce "Jet Assisted Take Off" system of that era which was shortened to JATO.

[@SimplyTakuma]

Wow i love the Turnpike Cruiser

[@paulashton2441]

OMG that turnpike cruiser is the 1 I would love to own.

[@fastinradfordable]

Paul Ashton And a demolition car survivor. Wow.

[@jakespeed63]

Great episode. Love all your picks, especially the '54 Chev at end.

[@mikestaihr5183]

JATO was an acronym foe solid fuel rockets used to assist take of aircraft. Jet Assisted Take Off. My dad was always talking about "jado bottles" (how I heard it) when I was a kid back in the 60's.

[@elcasho]

Wow what a show!

[@detacheddad3396]

Like to see more of the 65 barracuda at 1:48

[@mikesalmon9945]

I love your picks of cars to feature. The Mercury is off the charts though, new car to me. My sister had the 54 called the ‘green grunt’ lol Very cool stuff

[@runeandrebergtun8892]

Love the Eldorado, been one of my favorite amcars since I was a kid. They kid of ruined it in 67 with front wheel drive though. So a 57 is the golden age

[@js6159]

The JATO thrust engine on the Mercury Turnpike Cruiser is a reference to “Jet Assisted Take Off”. Propeller driven military planes of that era mounted jet engines on the wings to increase take off thrust and reduce the need for longer runways.

[@MixNutzNBoltz]

Very interesting rides there Sir, interesting story of their rides too. So cool to watch... I have old cool rides too is why I find all the content so interesting and entertaining Sir. Even though I am just a little woman originally from Asia but love the looks of old rides and the sounds of them. Thank you Sir

[@Strider1954]

If it's spelled JATO it may stand for Jet Assisted Take Off, it was used to assist planes to get off the ground fast.

[@duanemcdonald3895]

I love you. ❤️ I love you. ❤️ I love you. ❤️

[@lcpandlcr]

JATO---Jet Assisted Take Off. It was a pod you attached to the airplane to provide more powwr at take off. After they were used they fell off.

[@kennethwise7108]

Great show Dennis and crew 👍

[@bradcarroll3719]

Can anyone help me identify the black car that is making a turn at around the 1:49-1:52 time stamp? Thank you in advance for any help. I have just never seen anything resembling that car, so I dont have a clue where to begin searching online for it.

[@davidkastin4240]

That's a 1st gen Plymouth Barracuda. A base model had a slant 6 engine. 273 V8 was the next bigger option engine. I don't remember which bigger V8 was available, possibly a 318.

[@MyClassicCarTV]

Guitar and pedal steel.

[@bradcarroll3719]

@@MyClassicCarTV I have always been a classic car guy, but what really turned me on to 50's and early 60's cars was my love for all of the awesome colors instrument makers, namely Fender were using back then because of the cars. I worked in reverse I guess. You just went up a couple more cool levels in my book! You should do a video on another channel, or this one, showing everyone your music gear. Im betting that there's a Seafoam Green Strat or Tele in there, and possibly a Gretsch. Thanks again for the videos, we really do appreciate them. More than ever when theres no shows because of Covid 19!!!

[@MyClassicCarTV]

Actually, the collection includes a Surf Green Pearl Fender Jaguar, a '56 Gibson ES225T and a Washburn A10-12 solid body electric 12-string (and a few others). Just like with cars, I'm attracted to things that are a little bit outside the mainstream.

When I was a teenager in the late sixties, a friends' father had a car with the powered back window. We would go for rides in the country, taking turns laying on the trunk with our legs inside.

[@bradcarroll3719]

That would be grounds for the state taking your children, and criminal neglect nowadays. They've taken the fun out of every damned thing.

[@johnwattdotca]

@@bradcarroll3719: Back then I had a '65 Chev with a six cylinder motor. We'd go plowing through snow drifts on country roads and get it down to a couple of cylinders, wait until it fired back up and give it a go again. The only thing that's taken the fun out of that is... there is no more snow, or not enough when there is.
