Sam's 1959 Edsel Ranger at 2019 Woodward Dream Cruise

[@delashmittroad]

Had a great time talking to you and thanks for everything as soon as I get out of church tomorrow I’ll work on getting my video out. Had an amazing time on Woodward Avenue and after seeing your car I can’t wait to keep improving on mine.

Sam, older cars are hungry for someone to work on them. I enjoy working on them, as much as cruising in them. Your Edsel is a solid car to start with... It's a 60 year old car, so of course it will need work. Most are long gone, even before I got into the car hobby 41 years ago, most were already scrapped. You have a great family. Glad to see they enjoy the classic as much as you. Keep at it.... the cars and videos. Glad you stopped by. It was a pleasure to meet you and your family. Any time your in Michigan, your welcome to stop by. Howard

Its wonderful that someone so young is keeping the art alive

[@sbabyskid-bx2xk]

1950s American cars will literally never go out of style. So many subtle little nods to that era of design on today’s cars

[@robbiewinfrey9636]

You have a real nice Edsel car they're young man, keep the good work up. You're our future to keep up these old cars. I drive nothing but old classics myself, and I'm 68 years old, won't drive nothing but the oldies I love them.

[@tombob671]

Sam you're a nice young man and the car is nice. I am glad you got an old friend and mentor

[@jasoncarpp7742]

Lovely looking Edsel

[@danmurphy7713]

Cool Car Sam . , Glad you younger guys are keeping our old cars rolling . You have something everyone else does not have .

[@virtuestreams2616]

This day may very well represent the quintessential perfect day: classic iron, leisurely cruise, and cross-generations conversing like fast-friends. Thank you for sharing your experience!

[@sd90mac61]

My dad bought 3 Edsels, 1 of them was a 59 Edsel Villager, a 9 passanger station wagon with ac. The other 2 a 58 4dr sedan Pacer, the other a 58 4 dr HARDTOP Citation. These cars were my dad's favorites. Including the 58 MERCURYS.😊 Your 59 is just marvelous. 👋✌️☺️👍 THANKS for sharing this with me 😌✌️👍

[@danmurphy7713]

Real cool, old car guy passing the torch to a young car guy .

[@johnwalters191]

Nice to see a car from the Cleveland area! I grew up in nearby Euclid. In my early automotive career I took apart an Edsel 361 engine for a Valve job. To my surprise I found that the combustion chambers were all machined and not cast. Edsel was the only Ford product to do this! Smooth idle and quick throttle response. The 361 I took apart was based on the Ford FE block - like the 352, 390, 428, etc.Back in the day, we all thought the Edsel would be around for a long time. --- Oh well!

[@bozodog428]

Two great 59's!

[@mkd2941]

It was truly a pleasure to meet you. Thanks for all your words of encouragement that you shared with my sons. We had a great time meeting you and cruising down Woodward Ave.

[@OldCarAlley]

You have some amazing kids there.... your very lucky! I think it's awesome Sam loves the older cars. Thats very rare for younger guys, to be into the older iron. People like Sam are the future for the cars of that era. I am so glad he is saving some old iron. Old cars take lots of time to fix up. There is always something that need to be done on them. Thats part of the car hobby. I still have all that trim in the trunk of my Bel Air, but I don't worry about it. One day I will install it. I am also hoping someone see his video on the 59 Edsel the guy wants to derby, and ends up buying and saving it... at least for parts. It's to solid to destroy, and it would be a gold mine in parts... saving many other 59 Edsel's. Thank you. I enjoyed your visit. Glad you got to see the craziness of the Woodward Dream Cruise. Howard

[@discerningmind]

Sam's a really nice guy, very polite. I enjoyed the ride in your Chevrolet.

[@garbagebanditdayz819]

This is the dream to own an old car like this once I get a job. I want a 1957 Plymouth though. I really like the 58 Edsels.

[@jasoncarpp7742]

I also love the 1959 Chevy. Very nice. :)

[@bigblockjalopy]

Beautiful car. Love hardtops, 2 doors and 4 doors, better than any other body style. Pure 50s.

[@OBC-radio]

Very cool Edsel. Like you said in your video yesterday, I love seeing cars that are different. Muscle cars are cool, but the everyday stuff from back in the day that rusted out of existence is what I like the best. I’ll have to check out his channel. Thanks for sharing

[@stephendavidbailey2743]

Glad to see a 4 door hardtop; so tired of 2 doors.

[@bigblockjalopy]

Young guy with a good taste! Rare these days! Note the absence of modern ***** rubberband rims. Whitewalls as its supposed to be. Great.

[@bbt5358]

It's absolutely beauuuuuutiful! ❤️

[@drwho534]

That's a cool looking Edsel! Thanks for posting.

[@frequencyfluxfandango8504]

Most modern cars lack personality, but there's none of that here. Fixing things on a car means getting to know it intimately and a relationship blossoms, etc. lol. 1959; What a superb year for Out of this World car styling. Cheeers

[@jimmiemoore9072]

Just watched your video and am impressed not only with your knowledge but also your willingness to share and give advise. Thanks

[@johnwalters191]

Great Video!

THAT PIN DICKED DOUCHE BAG IN THE CAMARO!!! I hope that thing BLOWS UP on him!!

[@jamesfox2579]

Beauuuutiful Car!❤️

[@evamariedelashmitt5548]

Nice video and thank you for mentioning my '58 Edsel 😊😁

[@OldCarAlley]

I love 58 Edsel's It was nice meeting you. You have a great family!

[@heyrod59]

To overcome the overheat issue on the Edsel, remove the waterpump/engines fan and install a fan with a temp sensitive clutch, or install 1 large pusher, or 2 puller fans on the engine side of the radiator. Changing the thermostat doesn't hurt either.....

[@danmurphy7713]

Its an Honest engine bay , love it

[@Radiowild]

They'll know you arrived..... In a 58 Edsel! For as much as you drive the 59, I'd look for a later Saginaw 3 speed that has good synchros. The "double clutching" would make me nuts. They're plentiful and cheap. Just put the original off to the side and hold onto it.

[@OldCarAlley]

Thats a cool Edsel ad. As far as the trans goes, I just like to keep it original. Double clutching is only needed if I am still moving, and I want to get back into 1st gear.... it's really no big deal. I did replace the synchro clutch four or five years ago, so second and third shift without double clutching. If on the odd chance I ever did change the trans, I would change it to a automatic... but doubt I would ever do that either.

[@dowen1511]

they are ment to be driven sam cool ride. 👍

[@dowen1511]

just take the wiper motor apart and clean it its just slide plates that makes them work.

[@OldCarAlley]

I will pass that onto Sam.

[@christiedelashmitt52]

Just subscribed to your channel Sam told me about it and said I should check it out 👍👍👍👍👍

[@OldCarAlley]

Thank you for subscribing. I hope Sam get a ton of views and subscribers on his his channel.

[@NitroModelsAndComics]

Next time go to NAPA. Get the part number or pull the pump and they can get you one. STOP going to ham and eggers like AZ and Advance please.

People who derby these cars need prison time. Enstead of child protective services we need car protective services.
