❤ Beautiful Corvairs are awesome

Beautiful ride!!!! Beautiful neighborhood!!!! Love Palm Springs!

Beautiful car !

SDC member in central California ... I have owned a 1953 Champion Deluxe, a 1962 Lark, a 1947 step side trailer, and my 1965 Cruiser ... Best regards ...

The Greatest Era of Americana was a during the late 40s to about the Early to mid 60s in my opinion...Just Beautiful and Bold..

Great cars, great style(s). Thank you to all who open up their house!

Some of those homes are cheap-looking, and ugly to be honest!

Saw the back end of one in the Rockford Files and could not identify it for ages. Gorgeous cars, we see them only very rarely at UK car shows (when it's not raining).

For a small car it has an amazing amount of room inside and a gigantic trunk! Want one of these in a big way! Gorgeous color and resto by the owner

That lime one was an M4 not an M2 the white car in front was an M2

Nice video! We just bought a 1970 31’ Sovereign. Q:How do I light the original propane refrigerator?

1956 Oldsmobile 98 hardtop is my favorite designed car of all time; one always takes me breath away. It is bested only by the 1956 Oldsmobile 98 Starfire Convertible in my opinion. I can not thank you enough for this amazing video.

Wonderful vid and now checking out the channel. On the linked site, looks like there are a lot of tours for Modernism Week! Was there a name for this tour including the cars? Thanks so much!

This is before the era of conformity. The beautiful lines and excellent powerplant are a reflection of how our country felt about itself.

I love Palm Springs and I love Oldsmobile !!!😊❤

The Avanti was the Pontiac Aztec of its day😭

No sidewalks. Southern California prides itself on these,sidewalks. Thanks!

Why did they have to change the headlights? The European version were much cleaner.

Must express a lot of gratitude for the restoratioin of this beautiful motorcycle. When I was a teen I was fortunate enough to be able to ride a friend's Triumph Tiger 500 - I remember it being purple and the sound as well as aroma are engrained in my brain (now 70 yrs old). Very recently after having a succession of very nice mc's I now own a lightly modified 2014 Triumph Bonneville SE air cooled 865 cc. It is mostly white with a touch of purple on the front lower aspect of the gas tank. I am having a great time - as Rob states - lightly riding it around the city I live in. Again, thx for this great video. JV.

Very cool! Did you learn any new skills from it? How long is the session?

Rob What a beautiful job you did! Hand layed pinstripes are a lost art! Beautiful bike it must be wonderful riding around and through the desert with. Denny another awesome video! I mean it the music editing and camera work!

Sweet restoration of a rare machine. That 750 twin must make for a heck of a riding experience. Well done on the video. Thanks.

Good thing those cars are grandfathered into the way the laws used to be

Nice video with cameras and drones. I learned the origin of the name. My 1st car was a 1968 tbird with a 429.😊

Great video, and seeing the car really took me back. I learned to drive on my parents 69 TBird . It was green and then later silver with a vinyl top. 4 doors, It was built like a tank and was powerful too. My dad had a hitch welded to pull a horse trailer. Back then it was just a car and was sold when my dad wanted a fresh new Lincoln Town car

I'd love to know what who sang the brilliant song at the end----"We Only Have Another Day Tonight" (?). By I just your style of the videos!

Hard to believe it came to the US 20 years ago. Timeless design. Elisa got the last Elise off the assembly line.

i had one of these, an aquamarine blue Corsa convertible with a black top and the four-carb 140 engine. Supposedly it was a Yenko Chevrolet special, ordered and sold by the large Chevrolet dealer in Chicago by that name. I got it maybe in 1971 and sold it in late '73 or so. I put higher-performance shocks and tires on it and did a little gymkhana-ing with it. It cornered very well, flat and fairly-well controlled. The carbs were constantly in need of synchronization but I learned to do it quickly. On the other hand, the acceleration was crisp and instantaneous, unlike the turbos. It had a power convertible top! Unheard of to us Brit sports car owners- my Corsa replaced an MGB and was in turn replaced by a new Triumph Spitfire Mk IV. That car did a fine job for me but even then it was beginning to rust. It had been cruelly "undercoated" as a rustrproofing scheme.

An auto manufacturer way ahead of it's time ! I love Studebakers !!

Great video. Stunning cars and gorgeous homes! The music! Any chance you can document the song list? It's exquisite!

Beautiful car, cute fellow!

you look like a fruit cup

Nice music you are plaing in the clip. Who is playing? 🥰

Sem dúvida nenhuma que o carro com mais carácter, é o mercedes sem qualquer dúvida, o tesla, não é um carro, é um electrodoméstico!!

I love your channel so badly! Everything I love comes together here. Mid-century modern architecture. American culture (I love Palm Springs very much) Classic cars and jazz music! This is one of my favorite channels and on instragram as well!

When is the 2024 show? I need to sell my 67 coupe, so far only one guy wants it...for free.

I had the same car. It looks white but the title said Lavender. under the right light u could see the light lavender. Power 4 ways seats, power antenna, and power windows. I was living in high cotton.

I am 73 but when I see an Avanti, I'm 18 again.

Nice! Cool presentation, unique car video

Nürburgring sticker on the side... at a Elise in California - nice.

good job

A fabulous tour….my dream area.

I'M A HUGE 72 MARK IV LINCOLN FAN, HOWEVER, WHY THE HELL OF ALL COLORS DID YOU HAVE TO PICK A PISS YELLOW MARK IV OF ALL WTF...

Your videos are always so well done. They are a joy to watch. Always excited when you release a new one. Thank you!

I have to disagree the airplane influence was from Loewy's involvement with Air Force One. Sherwood Egbert, president of Studebaker and the one who commissioned the project, was a pilot. He is the one who pushed for the aircraft look including being able to switch gauge lighting between white (daytime) and red (nighttime). In fact, he would fly his own plane to Palm Springs to visit the project and make some suggestions. Yes, he "helped.". Egbert had various design input such as reducing the original rake of the windshield, probably to help make sure he would fit in the car, he was pretty tall at I think 6' 4" or so. He seemed to be about a foot taller than Raymond Loewy in photos.

True, bodies were made in the same factory as the Corvette bodies, but not for long. (It was Molded Fiberglas in Ashtabula, OH.) There were too many quality problems and Studebaker took making the bodies in house. Being inexperienced with working with Fiberglas, Studebaker was able to then create their own problems. They had a lot of production problems that delayed shipments to the point that quite a few people cancelled their orders.

Just some nitpicks. The crew was not from Detroit, but from South Bend, Indiana. Well, two of them. While Bob Andrews and John Ebstein were working for Studebaker at the time, Tom Kellogg was not. Kellogg was hired at a very young age by Loewy specifically to work on this project. Kellogg had graduated from Art Center College of Design in Pasadena and Loewy seemed very good at keeping track of talent. Kellogg recounted he received a phone call and this fellow with a French accent says he is Raymond Loewy asking, "Would you be interested in designing a new sports car?" Kellogg thought somebody was kidding him at first. Incidentally, Kellogg went on to have a fine career in industrial design including work for quite a few major car manufacturers. He also became a professor at Art Center College of Design. Kellogg would say how important the Avanti project was to him and characterized the design as "cosmic." Kellogg died two weeks after crashing his Mercedes-Benz into a center divider. The family wanted some Avantis at his memorial and I was one who provided one. I'm not sure Kellogg was even on the Studebaker payroll, he might have been hired as part of Loewy's organization. Kellogg also designed a later Avanti using many of the original styling cues and it was produced in limited numbers from 2000 to 2007.

There was actually a home, not the home, of Raymond Loewy in Palm Springs. He also had an apartment in New York where he likely spent the majority of his time. He also had a home in Monaco, and I think also a rural home in France. Not sure the timing on those, though.

For those who might not know, the Avanti was created to be a "halo" car to bring excitement back to the Studebaker brand and get people to the dealerships. And it most certainly did. So, it really DID do its job. The idea was then to sell most people Larks and Hawks and such because, after all, the Avanti sold for about the same price as a Cadillac. So, they never expected to sell many Avantis. However, most buyers fully expected Studebaker was on the way out and balked at buying a car where dealerships and support were about to disappear. So, they looked, but did not buy.
