I've been watching this channel for a long time and I really have to say that Derek gets my feels all worked up. A guy genuinely appreciates cars and we need more of that. I remember seeing people clunk corvettes when cash for clunkers was a thing. I was heart broken. People need to realize that the amount of work that went into these cars makes them worth keeping around. If more of us fixed stuff instead of throwing it away and blowing money on new stuff that doesn't work as well... I need a cold snack. Thanks Derek. Keep making content. It's inspirational.

Reminds me a bit of my 199something trip from Virginia to Texas in a 1960 Thunderbird. Got out of the Navy and decided to drive the Thunderbird rather than ship it. Took mostly back highways, one of the best trips I’ve ever had. The car didn’t give me one moments trouble. No cell phone or GPS, just a Rand-McNally atlas. I think the Bird averaged about 14 miles per gallon. She’s still with me, 30 years later.

Most people leave and get hime and remember what they forgot. I realized that if I sit out in the parking lot of the store, turn the radio or something on to distract my thoughts alot of times I will remember what I forgot to get. The I can go back into the store and get whatever it is. My sound ridiculous but it works!

Today whilst walking back home from the shops i could hear the low rumblings of what sounded like V8 approaching. A 1960's mustang came rumbling past me as i crossed the road. Where i live in london, we dont have or nor do we see any cars like these casually driving along. Seeing any classic american car is like a miracle in edmonton nrth london.

Overheating on the highway usually means radiator is clogged. Ram air cools engine at speed, fan cools at idle/low speeds. Place your hand on the cooling fins down low and see if it’s cool, while the top area is hot. Pump blades may be rusted off, causing lack of flow. Seeing the freeze plugs missing, makes me wonder about the condition of the pump blades.

I had a 1953 chevy bel air that was the same yellow and white as your buick was originally. It also had a vapor lock problem. An old mechanic gave me this trick. Clip several wooden spring clothespins to the fuel line right there where you were pointing. I don't know why this worked.. but it did. I never had another problem with vapor lock.

Had experience with the split race ball bearings om the front end of my 55 Chevy years ago. They require frequent maintenance intervals, and need to be kept properly adjusted. In my case the simple fix was swapping on a pair of mid-60s tapered roller bearing hubs. I do not know if there is anything like that available for the Buick or not. The tapered roller bearings are just about bullet proof compared to the old ball design. These old cars will run at modern traffic speeds, but maybe you shouldn't, they are over 60 years old after all. Kudos on the trip!

I know im dropping comments on some real old videos here, but i just want to say thank you Derek, for the crazy effort you've put into all these videos, not only fixing up and driving these old rigs all across the country, but taking the time to show us all the cool things along the way like this car museum. Youre my favorite fella on youtube Derek still to this day. I hope some day to win an old rig specifically that Duster from you, even though im in Canada. My uncle had a 74 before he passed and i really want to find one someday to honor him and what he did for the car community in my province back in the day. I love everything you do Derek, thank you again. Huge motivator.

Gotta love it when someone starts to pass you then drops back for a better look before continuing on. I get where you're coming from on procrastinating--sometimes, when you care about the car, you don't want to start figuring out what's wrong because you just don't want to see it like that.
