I was born in 1952 and in 1954 my Dad purchased a 1952 Chevy Deluxe 4 door sedan for my Mom to drive. This was the first car that I remember riding in. My grandmothers were both widowed and neither of them ever learned to drive. Every Sunday morning my Dad, Mom, older brother and I would pile into the Chevy and drive 55 miles to the town where my grandmothers both lived. We would spend the entire day visiting and drive back home after dark. I remember laying on the package shelf behind the back seat and watching the stars go by. Wonderful memories of the 1952 Chevrolet!

Yes sir when you are a little tyke you can fit into those nooks and crannies. Like yourself I was born in 1952 and we had a 1951 Pontiac, and when we would go home from visiting the grandparents I could curl up on the back floorboard and the hum of the engine the motion and the warmth would just help me go right to sleep. Granddaddy had a 1940 Chevrolet and it always intrigued me how he had to step on the starter to crank it. Well one day my cousin and I were playing driving the car and I was the driver. Well, I just wondered what would happen if I stepped on the starter. I did and the car lurched forward. OOPS!!!! I am glad Granddaddy didn't see that. But I learned something though. These are wonderful memories.

Most GM cars with stick shift has 4:10 or 4:11 gearing, even in some cases as late as the late 60s. Good acceleration, but can be hard on the engine. Chevrolet offered a 3:73 rear and even a 3:54 rear, but they never advertised it.

Easy to listen to and some nice older but not too neglected/aged eye candy with just enough time showing to get the heart pumping a bit harder and get the blood flowing and a touch of envy of being able to spend a bit of time putting hands on that one as not many get the opportunity to lay hands on one that well preserved, getting the motor running fairly quickly so can take a good test ride before moving on to the next one.

We had family friends that had this same car, only not the deluxe. It was their only car when I was a youngun, so I rode in it many times. This brought back memories. When you didn't get spark, I immediately figured it was the ignition switch being crudded up. I don't know if this has hydraulic lifters or not, I'm guessing not, so lashing the valves will quiet the sewing machine. I worked at the Chevy 6 cylinder engine plant in 1968 and 69, so I knew the updated version of this engine very well. Great video.

Those old guys back in ancient times were pretty awesome, eh? When I was 24, an uncle called me to tell me he was selling his Plymouth. When he told me how much the dealer was offering for trade in he said, "I know how much you like this car, so I'm giving you first dibs on it.". I said "sit tight, I'm on my way." I got on the bus, and two hours later, I was the second owner of my Uncle Grady's 1969 Plymouth Fury. *So what?* Uncle Grady was one of those guys, probably much the same as the original owner of this Chevy. He never slacked on anything. Oil changes, tune ups, and routine maintenance were done like clockwork, and the car was what they used to call a cream puff. He also told me that only one guy had ever touched this car since the day he got it. Uncle Grady was a church going man, and he was the real deal, so his credibility was always 5 star with me. My point to all this is not about the cars, it's more of a tip of the hat to guys like the original owner of this car, as well as my uncle Grady and millions of others who cared enough to take care of stuff and not be lazy or cheap about it Cheers!

This is a good era of Chevy. My grandfather had a 1953 version, which was the next generation, but still very similar. Those six cylinder Chevy engines were almost indestructible. I don't know if they had hydraulic lifters that year or not. If they did, getting the lifters free of internal sludge might quiet down the valve noise. Might even be able to accomplish that with an additive like Sea Foam. If it has solid lifters, then setting the valve lash will help, but the owner might hire that job out to an experienced mechanic. If he wants to try it himself, though, he has the shop manual, and that's a big help. Congrats on getting the car running.

First of all, I loved your video on the 1952. I wish I had watched this video prior to me working on my 1950. The history on the 50 is that it sat for 37 years at my dad’s house and the best part he had a over haul performed prior to parking it. Now I don’t know what was actually done to the engine as far as a total over haul or partial. But after I got it running it purrs like a kitten. One thing I did notice is mine did not have a fuel filter prior to the carburetor now I never remember it having one because I drove it for a year and a half from 1969 to 1971. |The gas line between the fuel filter and carb is a solid steel line so that tells me it is originally did have a fuel filter. I opted not to put one at the position for the safety factor of leaking on to the exhaust manifold (but that is just my decision). Great video! Thanks, Joaquin

You’re one of the few guys on KZbin who use the 2 stroke fuel mix to start old motors. That’s the way to go. I cringe when guys use carb or brake cleaner to start an old motor. Some of that lifter noise might be normal, since they’re solid lifters. You’ll quiet them down some with an adjustment.

I know what you mean. When I see someone use Brakeclean to start a car it makes me crazy.

Piece of cake, mainly because it wasn't in a field X 30 yrs, i'd drive the heck out of it. It's funny, we don't have to look @ a phone screen 24 hrs a day to have some fun.
