Why You Should Own A Vintage Vehicle

After being stored for the winter, I recently took my vintage truck out for the first drive of the year. I wanted to share this euphoric feeling with all of you by creating this final film for my partnership with Nikon. Every scene was shot on the z6 full frame mirrorless camera with the 35 mm f1.8 Nikkor lens. This set up was a total dream for a film like this, especially for all the scenarios where we had limited space like in the garage or in the truck cab. Once again, the stabilization and slow motion features brought this film to the next level. The lens captures beautiful looking sun flares and vividly rich colors that are an absolute blast to play with in post production. This is such a well rounded set up for timeless story telling and film making. If your gear bag were to have only a z6 with the 35mm z lens and a decent microphone on top, you’d be in better shape to produce content than most other creatives out there with 10x more gear.

I can remember when that vehicle was just another daily driver. We took them for granted and didn't think at all about any of the things mentioned in this video. However, without realizing it at the time, we did feel connected in a way that we've lost today. You "drove" those cars and trucks back then. You felt, listened, and paid attention to them in a way that we don't anymore. We had to be more in tune with them then because they didn't handle or stop like a modern vehicle. So, that is why I still own and drive 60's & 70's vehicles. And know exactly what this man was saying.

I'm 22 years old, and when I was 17, I bought my first vehicle for $1000, a 1970 Chevrolet C/10 longbed pickup truck back in 2015. All drum breaks, no power steering, no A/C, 3-on-the-tree, ...no motor....My grandfather gave me a motor that was just sitting in his shop, all covered up, a V8 350 out of an 80-87 Chevy truck. I started putting it together with my dad, we put the motor in, headers on it, new exhaust, replaced the old 3 finger clutch, got it painted, had the steering column rebuilt, a little cosmetic stuff here and there, and it is one cool, fun truck to drive! I loved the fact that, back in high school, kids my age were driving around cars that were anywhere between 5-20 years old, and there I was driving a 50 year old truck to school everyday lol. I love it because it's stylish, all steel, and easy to work on too! (Unlike my 2001 Silverado 🙄) my plans are to fully restore the truck, and leave it stock, maybe put A/C in, but only because I live in Arizona. ....I really hope they don't outlaw old cars & trucks in the future due to emissions purposes, because I'm keeping this truck until the day I die, then passing it on to my future kids.

I own a 1969 Ford F-250 Highboy. Above all the other cars I currently own and used to own, my old beat up 69 truck is my absolute favorite. It is built with American steel with pride during a time where men were men. Manual transmission, manual brakes, manual steering, manual windows, manual choke, manual locking hubs...not a truck for the faint of heart. You become a part of the truck as you drive it and that’s why I love it so much. The faded, dented up farm truck look turns more heads than my black Mustang GT and I’m totally okay with that.

Proud owner of a 1945 Willy’s MB. When I first acquired it twenty years ago, everywhere I went there would be these bright eyed elderly gentlemen who would come over to look and tell stories of their time driving these jeeps in ww2 and Korea. I listened intently and was always thankful for their time. Sadly those stories and those gentlemen are all but gone but now days they have been replaced by children who want to see the army Jeep and their parents who want to take pictures with it, I cannot tell you how many times I have been followed home by people who want to ask about it, buy it or just look at it. Every car I drive by in it brings a smile. There is no air conditioning, no radio, no led screen, seatbelts or power anything. It is just perfection!

Older vehicles were made to look attractive. Modern vehicles are made according to government rules. Older vehicles were made by people. Modern vehicles are made by robots. In older vehicles the experiences of "traveling" are both real, and felt - time, space, people, sun, wind, rain etc... In modern vehicles you are simply being transported to a destination with no outside connection, and the space, places and people in between are immaterial. In sterile, new cars you simply "get there". In older cars "you arrive". Older cars had eyes, faces, personalities. They were as unique as they were a part of the family. New cars are soul less, sterile and all look alike. They are a thing to use and dispose of when used up. And why? Once again the government destroyed something that was fine. EVERY classic old car would be illegal to make today. ILLEGAL. What business is it of the governments to tell us what we can make or buy? The modern whiners go off about safety.... well what about motorcycles? There is no such thing as a safe motorcycle. You have an accident on one, you're likely a goner. So why are they allowed to still make them, and any way they want as well? For that stupid reason - they can't be made safe, so the government never got involved. There are no laundry lists of rules (excuse me, idiocies) they must follow.

I’m 16 about to get a 78 f250 2wd, and this video made me feel great. After my dad sold my 79 f100 short bed there’s been a hole in me that nothing could fill, I remember coming home from school and just sitting in it and just imagining the road. I felt happiness in that truck and I never could explain why, but this video does it for me.

[@christianbrother4724]

Love the old trucks, I have a 58 Ford Fairlane. Driving it is my therapy and it makes people happy when they see it.

SPOT ON!!!!!! I tell young bucks these same things. Thank you for this.

I drive vintage international scout and love it ! Appreciate what you do

Had a 64 F-100 in high school. Many is the day I regret selling her. Closest thing I've found is my 2011 Old Grey Ranger. I tell my sons my Happy Space is the cab of my truck. But you know that better then I. Thank you ever so much for sharing this...

Nice truck, I own a 1968 c10 that's the same color and I know the feeling your talking about, it doesnt matter what brand it is all old vehicles are better than these new plastic toys

[@kenkrauklis765]

Love your passion for vintage vehicles. They all have their stories to tell and bring out a special connection with people.

[@northdakotaham1752]

Built when owners did their own repairs/maintenance with a screwdriver, pliers and a sparkplug wrench. Today's trucks.... forget it!

[@AlaskaBushratJohn-st7sm]

I remember the days of those old trucks and cars. To park in a field at sundown lay on the hood and watch the colors of the sky as the sun descends, brings only peace at that moment and nothing else matters. Thanks for sharing.

[@commonsensepatriot9450]

Although I've owned older trucks, my 2001 Dodge Ram 1500 which has none of the modern amenities of most newer trucks, has become my favorite. There are sentimental reasons I won't get into, but I love the simplicity of windows you have to crank up and down, locks that aren't electric and have no remote and a standard shift. It's setup as my camping rig, with a topper and usually has my canoe on top. Thanks for sharing your thoughts.

[@unconventionalideas5683]

Make sure all doors are locked before driving off, though, because the doors being locked is a major part of modern crashworthiness that was integral even back in 2001.

What a gorgeous old truck. The Ford F100 is the truck of my dreams. Learned to drive in a 1978 F100. The feeling is unbelievable. 👍😊

Great video! I'm In the process of restoring my dad's 66 F100 Custom Cab in his memory. The cost to restore will exceed the value of the truck when finished but to me it is not about money. In this truck I learned how to drive a clutch and spent many hours with him working on projects together. I will pass it on to my sons creating a wonderful legacy that will live on for many years.

[@mrv1271]

Before long there won't be any of these old trucks left. I'm young, but I want to pick em all up and ride through the ages of quality and pride that this country once boasted. Experience what I'll never be able to, through them. Proud to have that heritage. Sad that it's almost gone.

I bought. ‘55 Chevy wagon in ‘72 after I got out of the service. It rusted pretty badly because it had been left outside. I had a shop take that body off and, using the ‘55 floors put a ‘56 Nomad body and build it up. I kept that wagon for more than 40 years, raised three kids, took trips and did all the ball games and school things. Great car and lots of outstanding memories.
