Nice work fellas!

My Dad had one of those. 65 now and I remember taking trips in it. It rode like a pillow. Tons of room for my brother and me. Brings back memories.

That’s a spiffy 62 Austin. Cool video. Those are probably the only taillights (aside from the Packard sore thumb taillights of 54 and 55) that could be seen from above. Enjoy that interesting piece of Detroit iron.

Hi Austin, I see your video is 4 hours long. You may need to remind some people they can stop or pause the video at any time. Incase they need to eat or use the bathroom. Particularly that one guy, you know the one I'm talking about 😄. Looking forward to watching this one 👍🏻, at my leisure.

You're a braver man than I am, with a frame broken in 2 places plus unknown other structure due to rust. It's been more than 40 years since I lived in the rust belt that's one big thing I don't miss about it. Know you can't avoid rusty cars up there, but when it gets to be structural in more than one place, I'd be really hesitant to risk even driving it (let alone 500 miles). Anyhow, I'm probably hardly qualified to comment much except: - I actually watched more than 2 hours of this, I'll admit - I briefly lived in Pittsburgh (in 1961-62). My parents are from (Northeastern) Pennsylvania but due to my Dad's job we moved around a lot in their younger years, but never lived closer than about a 4 hour car ride from their families). People thought my Dad was nuts, they actually moved from Southern California to Pittsburgh in 1961 (when California was still booming and Pennsylvania beginning a long decline.) He got a job at Westinghouse Semiconductor (Dad's first job out of college was as a chemist for Sylvania where he worked on semiconductors starting in 1956, he worked for many other companies but really never had a different job till he retired in 1990. I had a problem with Perthes disease and was in the Pittsburgh Children's hospital in a leg cast, actually had to learn to walk again after I got out of it. Despite our brief time living there we were in 2 houses, one in Garden City (Monroeville) and the other in Holliday Park (Murraysville). Thanks for the tour of Pittsburgh. We live 1500 miles away, but have made many road trips to visit Northeastern PA and often go through Pittsburgh (partly because my youngest sister who died of ovarian cancer at age 37 is buried in Granville, Oh, which makes Pittsburgh on the way since we always stop to visit her grave. Besides living there as a young kid, I've been through Pittsburgh several times but never stopped to look around much (which is why I kept viewing 2.5 hours of video before calling it quits). Regarding the American Bantam at the Heinz museum....I didn't see the sign but I'm pretty sure it has something to do with Pittsburgh being near Butler, PA (yes, the same town where Trump was shot during his campaign rally last summer)...which was also apparently where the Jeep got started, guess a contract to develop such a vehicle was given to American Bantam and they developed it, though they didn't have the capacity to build all the volume of vehicles needed so others also made Jeeps. Butler is somewhat northeast of Pittsburgh. Enjoyed what I did watch, might finish it sometime, maybe should have before I commented.

Love it. Have the same car in the Netherlands. Mine needs quite some work but it drives :)

Once a year they shut down the New River Gorge Bridge and they have a skydiving day of it

That was an awesome road trip Austin. I’m surprised that a Mopar wagon fellow like you jumped on a GM wagon. These Buick Roadmaster wagons are very handsome vehicles.

Sutton is a beautiful place in the summer. There’s Sutton Lake where I first learned to ski. Nice summer vacation place

Never saw a factory-air Vega, cool! Glad you took me along :)

Looks like the Bates motel.

you have a very nice collection of US cars. FRancis from Herent near Brussels, Belgium Europe

Nice man 👍

There are 446 bridges within the city limits of Pittsburgh that's why they call Pittsburgh the city of bridges

My favorite Wagon from that time period were the Chevrolet Caprice wagon, usually loaded with options and wonderful cruisers. Cheers

Dude, you flooded it. It popped off the first time you cranked it. Then, nothing.

How did you like that Iron City Beer some good stuff right all you needed was a Primanti Brothers sandwich to go with it I didn't know you were coming to Pittsburgh I could have gave you a hand

Where’d you get the prehistoric pintos and vegas?

Maybe it’s the glasses, but you look like you stepped right out of 1965. Nothing wrong with that. I think it’s cool.

I'd never see 90% of my nation if it weren't for Obsolete Automotive!

I knew it was going to be fun when I saw the good side of the rear axle shift about four inches in position getting it onto the street there.

Pintos and Vegas and woodgrain wagons, oh my! We're not in Kansas anymore, Toto.

Great job on welding up the frame, not pretty but it seemed to work for you. I really enjoy watching your video's!

WOOOO LET'S GO TRIPP!

Belvedere, come here, boy❤😊🎉

Wow, I saw this when it was advertised! Cool to see a video about it

My 72 vega ran great but had no power with the automatic. It went up hills so slowly! lol The Buick looks too far gone to be more then a parts car!

The Roadmaster did good . Always liked the Buicks , great cars . Enjoyed the video and glad you saved the Wagon :)

Another great video buddy!

That wooden stairway/pathway/deck by the bridge was really impressive. That was a lot of work. I'd hate to have to waterseal that thing lol.

That frame is the worst I have ever seen. But you did a great job patching it up. I thought it was funny that the one guy mentioned my comment on a previous video about you needing a funnel to pour oil. I was amazed you did it without spilling any. If I tried that it would be all over the exhaust manifold. Thanks for taking us along, Austin!

Amazing to have a Vega in this timeline

I must say the Discovery theme is truly haunting

😻😻😻😻😾😾

My father used to rent these in NYC for weekend trips. I loved them. I thought they were pretty powerful. I now own a 68 Ford Cobra Daytona (replica) with a 302. I love those 60's cars.

Hey I know the guy you got that wagon off of! Good guy. Cool to see it on UA-cam getting some love and driven!

Are you making fun of the big You Tube channels every time you say "I don't want to lose the shop" creating a sense of urgency of a deadline? LOL😆

This is one of my dream cars alongside with a 1959 Pontiac Bonneville

Thank you for the Shot Tower footage. I have driven past it, on I 77, numerous times on the way to the coast of North Carolina on family vacations and have wanted to see it. I am the only one on those trips interested in roadside attractions...everyone else is pounding the miles in to get to the beach. I love two lane state highways and meandering through rural America and that part of the States with its foothills, mountains and gaps is beautiful. Thanks again

STROHS!!! ❤️🍺

I had of those long ago...a '91 with a 305. Very underpowered but there aren't many cars that are better for a road trip. Super reliable.

To tell you the truth Austin, it wasn’t worth it , I’m a big fan of, but I would tell you not to do that.

That’s a great parts car . But to take a road trip , 500 miles! That’s not worth it , in my opinion.

Poor Austin. Surgically removed from Vega back seat. 🤣🤣😂

Buick Road Disaster!😁

Nice job gettting her back on the road and living to see more adventures!

Buick I thought these were only made with a Chevy badge, as a Caprice station wagon.

After ALL the technical automotive advances over the years, automakers structural rust problem is somehow WORSE than ever, especially on later model GM products. A former co-worker recently junked an '02 Silverado, seemingly almost mint condition except for a tiny bit of rust on the rockers. Unfortunately, the frame had fully succumbed to the "tin worms" to such an extent that it looked as though it was dragged from the bottom of a lake. Planned obsolescence at its finest...🏁 .

Wow 4 hours! Looking forward to this one. I remember quite a few of these on the road back in the day. Still see one every now and then. I'm in NY so most cars from the early 90's are long gone.

Yep.... those things have some weight and much like a Woman adjustments must be made!😂
