I’m from Wilmington De./ “DuPont chateau country” and graduated high school in 1969. Huge wealth in a very small area. The total opposite of LA. rarely did you see showy look at me rides. The exception being some old lady in a midnight blue postwar ragtop that apparently didn’t need a name. I could still pick it out of lineup, totally awesome!
In 1966, we saw one of the Monkee mobiles at Ace Wilson Pontiac in Royal Oak, Michigan. The other, the same year was one of the Oscar Meyer hotdog mobiles.
A nice range of cars tonight. Although I've never thought of having a giant car, the Hudson in the intro was actually awesome. Imagine that car sussed out with body and paint and a fresh drivetrain. Interio9r resto looked nice. As to your question about rare vehicle sightings, I honestly cannot be sure! I'll try to remember harder😂
I remember as a kid, myself and three brothers riding in the back seat of a hudson while my dad was driving flat out on a 110 mile trip. Seat belts, ha ha, I laugh at you. Thanks for the memories.
Yeah, I use to stand up in the backseat when I was about five or six with my Dad driving the ‘52 along the highway at 55 mph! No seatbelts in that one either!
I'm old so I've owned a lot and seen a lot, but growing up My father had a 62 Lincoln Continental and after that a 1966 Chrysler Imperial. I also had a friend who owned a 1968 corvette with a 427 big block. I've seen Cords and Duesenberg's as well as DeLorean's all at car shows. Nothing too rare but certainly cool cars. Keep them coming, I'll be watching. 😀 ✌❤
In 1932 my Dad started a Repair Shop in the Greater NYC area specializing in Quality automobiles only. As a youngster, I was privileged to see (and often sit behind the wheel of ) cars like the Bugatti Royale Napoleone, a variety of Duesenburgs, Prewar and postwar Lincoln Continental convertibles ( a favorite of mine). But the most famous car was owned by Bob Ripley of "Believe it or Not" fame. It was the special late 30's Armored Mercedes Benz OPEN Parade Car built for Adolph Hitler. After the war, Mr. Ripley brought it to Dad for mechanical restoration. Body , etc. was restored by someone else. My little brother and I (6.5 and 8 years old) got a kick out of sitting behind the huge steering wheel of this giant. It would be over 40 years before I saw it again in the rooftop auto museum of the Imperial Palace Hotel/Casino in Las Vegas.
I saw the 1968 Pontiac "El Camino" concept car when I lived in Titusville Florida, it was in the Muscle Car Museum in Melbourne for a while I was there, only 1 ever built because Pontiac decided not to build it. It was basically a 68 El Camino with a Lemans front end, Seat and badges. It was really cool though.
My dad bought a Hudson Commadore in 1963. He cut the back out of it to make a pickup truck to move to Las Vegas with it. He sold it to a friend who dumped it in the desert. It was there for years, until it was robbed of so many parts that it disappeared. I got my first serious sun and wind burn in that car.
Great work, as always! My pick for "Deal of the Day" might have been the Corvair, at $5800 thats a sweet deal. Rarest car story - Lived in South Florida for over 30 years so I saw lots of very expensive and rare cars over the years but the one that stands out was a Porsche Carrera GT. It was a perfect Sunday morning and I was heading into Miami on I-95 and that silver missile blew past me at well over 100+MPH. I may have only gotten to see it for about 2 seconds but they sure were an impressive 2 seconds! LOL
Where in Florida did you live? I lived in Titusville for several years. I disagree with the Corvair being the deal of day, the 77 Monte Carlo is the deal of the day, it's already done and ready to go and you can't build that car for 9k and as it sits it's worth 20k, The "Smog/Malaise Era" are becoming a very popular build, atleast out here in the West/Southwest, because they are cheap to buy, cheap to build because most of them are still on the road or not far from, the parts stores still stock most of the parts and the were the cars of us Gen Xers youth and most of our high school hot rods. Go back to the mid-late 80 and early 90's and these cars were all over the high school parking lots and you know how cars guys and girls like to reminence about their first car. Personally my first car was a 76 Camaro I bought from neighbor in 1987for $500. I'm seing more and more of them pop up at cruise in's and local car shows.
@@TheREALOC1972 South Florida neighborhoods from Miami to FTL and Weston from 1981 through 2018. You are right in that the Monte Carlo is a good find, there were several in this video. It's hard to look back and realize what was available "back in the day". Back in '82 I bought a bone stock, unmolested '70 GTO for $1000. Sure wish I still had that one today!
@@landiahillfarm6590 Yep, I've been looking for a for a 76 Camaro for years now and what is available is either unaffordable in good enough condition to rebuild on the half way cheap or they want your first born AND left kidney for them because alot the late Gen II's were bought and turned into dirt track car in the 80's and early 90's. so they are either beat to shit and it would cost you more than the cars worth or want 1970 split bumper Camaro prices for them.
This year at the Gateway Horseless Carriage Club Easter show they had one of the Chrysler Turbo cars. That's impressive but it's been there before. What really impressed me was a Hudson Commodore Convertible. Those gotta be rare and not many left.
Yeah they don’t stay around long at those prices! I have actually had to go back and change a video right at the end. Getting ready to post and a couple of cars would be sold at the last minute and no longer available! That’s happened before!
Great prices on solid examples! Rarest car I've seen in person is a '67 Shelby Mustang GT500 stripe delete purchased new by local service/gas station owner. I was 12 at the time and thought this was the greatest looking car. This is still owned by the original owner and has about 48K original miles and paint. I believe it is one of only a few in the country still "one owner" and unrestored.
They're only two cars I've ever wanted in my life thus far. I owned both of them some years back. One was a 1951 Korean War model of a military Dodge Power Wagon, known as a M37 and the other was a 1965 Lotus Cortina. I had to sell both of them to pay alimony when I got divorced in 1987. The Lotus went to an automobile museum in Berkley, California by the name of Epephinis' and the M37 went to a private buyer. I had restored the M37 to its original condition over about eight years. I was a car mechanic for over 23 years, so I knew what I was doing, except for the consequences of the divorce.
@AmericanYardSale The oldest and coolest car that I can remember, was when I was 6 years old, my father tried to buy a 1927 Okland overland, that was transformed into a restromod and had a straight 8 Buick engine in it 😳 it was so cool being a 4 door touring sedan with a canvas top
1951 GM Le Sabre XP-8, the 1956 Buick Centurion XP-301, 1970 Lancia (Bertone) Stratos HF Zero,, 2010 Porsche 918 Spyder Concept Car, 1942 L'Oeuf Electrique by Paul Arzensand the Firebird 1 by General Motors.
I saw 2 very rare and special cars. 1 1969 shelby Boss 429 Mustang signed and dated Carol Shelby and dated. And a Dan Gourney signed Indy car signed by him with pictures of him with the car and standing beside the car with its current owner who bought it while he was alive with a certificate stating with all the documentation that he actually drove the car in the Indianapolis 500 race.
Buyers Beware! Living in several of the Northern states which still use salt on the winter roads and have for decades. Sellers of old cars love to cover the rust with BONDO. Take a small hand magnet along with you when inspecting Northern states cars!

There was no 300M in the 1960s. 1965 was the last of the full sized letter cars, the 300L. The 300M was started in 1999 and was a very different type of auto. The 1964 year was a 300K. I had one, a convertible.

Amazing recollection of the backseat grip rope, id forgotten about those that i used as a kid.
Yeah, my dad’s 1952 Chevy hit one across the back of the driver seat and the passenger seat! I had forgotten about those as well
ThankYOU for ALL your work n patience.. love your work!!
Thanks Leonard!
Rarest, maybe the 1963 Chrysler Turbine in bronze with black vinyl top. Love that 300M in this video!

Nice car!
Great video. I don't know if they count, but as a child I saw both the Blue Flame and The Green Monster jet powered cars. I got to sit in the Flame.
Well, those were some cool cars for sure!
Waiting for pickup trucks thanks for the work you do in bringing us these cars
I’ll try and get an all pickup review in the next couple of videos away thx!

Dude, I appreciate your postings.
Thanks Brian!
Thanks for another great video

That convertible would have been nice to see!
If I remember correctly it was a 1903 Oldsmobile runabout in Newport Beach, California Auction in the mid 80’s
Nice, I would like to see one of those!
That Hudson had a queen size backseat.
Yeah you could really stretch out back there!
The Chrysler 300 M is marked "SOLD!" That was a nice car.
Yeah they don’t stay around long at those prices! I have actually had to go back and change a video right at the end. Getting ready to post and a couple of cars would be sold at the last minute and no longer available! That’s happened before!
Rarest car I've ever seen, as far as I know, one of a kind, Clarke Gabel's Duesenberg at a museum in California.
Great prices on solid examples! Rarest car I've seen in person is a '67 Shelby Mustang GT500 stripe delete purchased new by local service/gas station owner. I was 12 at the time and thought this was the greatest looking car. This is still owned by the original owner and has about 48K original miles and paint. I believe it is one of only a few in the country still "one owner" and unrestored.
Those cars thrill me every time I see one as well !
Another cool video.
Thanks Richard!
I saw a Tucker Torpedo in the ford museum. And I also saw a Gaylord in aFlorida museum.
They're only two cars I've ever wanted in my life thus far. I owned both of them some years back. One was a 1951 Korean War model of a military Dodge Power Wagon, known as a M37 and the other was a 1965 Lotus Cortina. I had to sell both of them to pay alimony when I got divorced in 1987.

Wow! I just do happen to have a 1962 dodge m37 appearing in tomorrow nights video! Stay tuned!
That 300 m is slick
It is awesome Bill!
That Caitlina would be a sweet grocery getter
The Chrysler is sold! That was a good deal.
My Dad had a Hudson just like that one
Nice!

My most rare car was the original prototype 1953 buick skylark that was made of stainless steel. It was presented in the worlds fair!
That 300m is bad ass.
I agree!
Rarest car I can remember seeing was a Cord. Can't remember the year. Rarest car I ever owned was a 1969 COPO Chevelle. Was almost killed in that car.
My father had a1960 SAAB, 2 stroke, 3 cylinder. I turned 15 before he sold it. I got it drive it a little
I saw 2 very rare and special cars. 1 1969 shelby Boss 429 Mustang signed and dated Carol Shelby and dated. And a Dan Gourney signed Indy car signed by him with pictures of him with the car and standing beside the car with its current owner who bought it while he was alive with a certificate stating with all the documentation that he actually drove the car in the Indianapolis 500 race.
Wow! Nice ones!
Tucker for me also.
The 1966 Batmobile that George Barris I got to drive it because he was a friend of mine when he died it hurt me bad
1939 Hupp pickup for me!
1951 Henry J my dad had one the car that l learned to drive in
What a Classic to be able to learn in!
Rarest ive ever seen was Tom Monaghans Bugatti Royale at Tigers Stadium...at that time i believe it was worth 7 million plus

Good info Will!
Would like to get the info on the model A

The 1 that I'm riding in
1934 Jaguar SS One owned by Amelia Earhart
A Hudson pickup. Only 50 made every 10 years for the Hudson dealership only .
There was no 300M in the 1960s. 1965 was the last of the full sized letter cars, the 300L. The 300M was started in 1999 and was a very different type of auto. The 1964 year was a 300K. I had one, a convertible.
Great info!
1977 Pontiac Can Am
62 Monza, Wally Cleaver's beater.

Rarest car is Chrysler turbine car I've seen........
Cool
