Mine too. But is it true? I don't think I've ever actually touched a car from this era, let along banged a fist on it to test the weight and strength. Are they solid steel? Would they just run over a new car like it's a rabbit or something?
Yes. Real steel. hard as a rock. Worked on two of them, and the body is very strong. The chassis also has a X member that makes it super resilient to torsion. That's why they cut the roof off and the car is still in one piece.
Not really UA-cam impala crash test suprisingly unsafe and un tank like. I drive a 1960 F100 daily and am aware it is much lighter and less robust than you might think.
If you look close at the chase scene, there had to be at least 3 cars used if this was in fact in the scene. You can see during the scene that one of the cars shown was a 47/48 Ford as the car had the round parking lights below the headlights and had the factory outside curved mirror attached to the cowl trim. Also during the scene you see a 46 Ford (rectangle parking lights on the top of the inner part of the fenders. This car had a non factory outside mirror above the side trim that was rectangle, not round. The car that hit the manure truck was this 46 car with the non factory rectangle outside mirror. Also the car that slide sideways into the truck had vent windows with a flat top like a real convertible. That same car had the top boot that was on like a real convertible would that was flat and not much higher than the top of the door. This car had to be a real convertible. The car shown in this video is also a 46 but is not a real convertible (as stated) as the top boot sits high on the car not like a real convertible would have. Also this car does not have any vent windows in the door (because of the top being chopped) where the car that hit the manure truck has the flat topped vent windows of a real 46 convertible. The car shown here had outside mirrors on both sides where the car I see clearly in the movie scenes have different mirrors and don't have a mirror on the passenger side. I would imagine that the real 46 convertible did have body damage when it hit the truck.
The slow piano theme is awesome and really fitting. Like an old heart that's beating slower after 30 years but still has so much life in it. I hope those cars still exist for at least another 30 years and that heart keeps beating.
@@bliglum They sure are nice, aren't they. Respectively speaking, this Ford has a steel dashboard and most pre-1960s cars are like that (they started installing plastic dashboards in the 60s.) Human Head or Chest + Hitting a Steel Dashboard at even 30 MPH = No.
Chris, Thank you so much for all your hard work. I am absolutely amazed by the result! Looks like the rain delays and the awesome clouds really made for an excellent video! I am very proud and honored to be part of your BTTF week. I am also glad to see that everyone is so excited over this, it really makes me feel proud and humbled to let it be known that this car is out there. It was an honor to work with you.
Dan. Thank you some much for taking part in this series. I thought that the Ford was not even around anymore. I'm so pleased to see that it went to a family that appreciated it's significants in motion picture history and have taken very good care of it. I fell in love with that car the first time I saw it and though I live in England knew that it would be pretty much impossible to get my hand on one. It has touched my heart to see that it is in such good condition. If you are able to sell a small piece of the fake manure, only if you have some to spare of course. Please contact me, I will happily pay and shipping fees. Lots of love to you and your family. Many thanks again for allowing us to see it again. Kind regards.
Another awesome video! I love these 40s Fords already, being the one from Back to the Future just puts it over the top for me. So cool to see this car, and to also see that it's being taken care of so well by the right people. Adding this one to my favorites!
Wow! What a flood of memories that '46 Ford Super Deluxe cope brought back. A perfect presentation of movie history now preserved. Americana at it's best in the boom years following WWII. The entire library of 'Back To The Future' films is Hollywoods trilogy to the fabulous '50s and estatic '80s. This car and those movies will forever bring joy at every rewind!
I just stumbled on this video today and i have to say it really excited me so much i tweeted at tom wilson because i wanted him to see it. What makes this car so cool is unlike the fully restored first delorean and universal studios is that you can see,touch,sit in and feel what it was like to be a kid again. i know there are a few from the 2nd and 3rd movies but lets be honest those don't have quite the same effect as the one from the first movie that michael j fox hated driving that will give you that feeling again. So its great to see this car in all its beauty out there being driven,seen and enjoyed buy the public in a way a museum would and never will allow. Im not gonna lie either like tom wilson's back to the future song irs always been about fox and other people in the movie but never about him. Now we get to see a video about his car and roll in the movie and something that's about the roll he played and i know there has to be a little satisfaction in that and you guys gave him that small little gift, kuddo's. Key note for owner - The writers and producers of back to the future have stated more then once under no uncertain terms will there be a back to the future remake in there lifetime or after death. They feel and we all agree lighting only strikes once on a movie and can never be iconic a second time in a reboot. So rest assured we will not see this series ruined by greedy hollywood wanting to cash in by remaking this series every 20 years, well its hollywood so every 10 years and lets be honest if the first flops, they will just keep rebooting the first one every 2 years until they love it. It is hollywood after all and they have been ruining iconic movies with reboots since well......far to long! Heres a link to toms questions song and channel - ua-cam.com/video/iwY5o2fsG7Y/v-deo.html - Enjoy its funny!
Like the Batmobike owner, this man is thoughtful and articulate - and *his* kind heart shows in the joy he gets from watch the joy of others who see the car.
Beautiful Car. Lovely review. Keep up the great work. Being a teen of the 80s, I too loved this series. Really enjoying these features as we approach the date Marty famously traveled 30 Years into the future this month.
I watched #2 last night with old Buff & young Biff in the garage scene. I couldn't believe the mirror finish was on the hood & seeing their reflection thru the front window. The Universal Bodymen really went to work on that paint, just for that scenes effect!!!!!!!
I like the way these 40 cars sound it's a nice rumble I love classic cars they have a natural rumble and they look so good I love a 79 trans am and I have a 66 c10
I loved the part when Biff flipped this car around in the tunnel and began revving it to taunt Marty. It sounded so evil and mean, like "I know something you don't know... you're gonna die"
My Dad was born in 46. He told me his first car when he was 16 was a 46 Ford that used to break down all the time, then he had a 55 Chevy. The first new car he bought when he was 21 was a 68 GTO. I’d kill for any one of those cars now lol
How wonderful that this wonderful car still survives! So awesome to see it belongs to some passionate car lovers that can look after it the way it deserves 😊👍🏻
I bought a '46 Ford like that in the early 50's......It cost me a whopping 400 dollars.....ha......I was just out of high school and had a bunch of friends, guys and gals that were glad to go crusin' with me......I actually watched these being made on a assembly line at the FORD Plant in Somerville Massachusetts in 1946.....Never realizing that I would own one.....Ha.....I'm 86 now with lots of memories.......
In the movie the car had quarter vent windows ! And the hood cover is different... I’d be double checking authenticity ... but still a nice car for a Ford
Exactly! Also the interior is a different color, steering wheel is different, and their snaps going all the way down the side body that wasn't on the original
This car had the top cut off by the production. His comment about it being the only car from part 1 is wrong. The "A" 46 Ford was also sold into private hands from part 1. The frame was bent during filming, but the car was restored by the owner. That car was the Biff Tannen museum car you see in part 2.
I would love to have this car. Im not a big ford type of guy but when it comes to classic cars i love them specially from a movie that is one of my top favorites
Grande automóvel. Desde criança este Ford 46 já me chamava a atenção no filme De Volta Para o Futuro. Tenho 35 anos. Minha geração cresceu assistido na TV ao modo de vida americano e sei gosto por esses carros maravilhosos. Ganharam um inscrito brasileiro. Belo vídeo.
Only Biff knows how to start it I quote from the scene old Biff and young Biff meet: "How do you know how to do that? Nobody can start this car but me."
Dude congrats to owning that absolutely beautiful ford in that silhouette black that movie is my favourite movie of all time I loved biffs black ford hope you get to drive it more often 👍
I'm glad that the owners are not Biff-like, because allowing people to sit in it is just incredibly generous and caring. Most movie car owners never would, or it'd be few and far between.
Wow. Fantastic interviews, editing, and beautiful shots of the car. You guys are doing an outstanding job on this show and are deserving of many, many more views. Please keep uploading more!!
Also the movie's car has a straight windshield frame, this one is a bit "curved" coming from a roof cut coupe, same as the body under the fake top cover, which is cut higher than the real convertible which you can also notice in the video.
They used three different cars in the movie, this one is legit, it’s a 46, but for a lot of other scenes they also used a 47 and a 48 through out the first two movies. That explains the little differences you can see scene to scene. The 47 and 48 cars had a slightly different interior and were both actual convertibles not a chop top. But again this is one of the cars used in the movie
Great car, a bunch of sharp eyed 46,7 & 8 guys have pointed out discrepancies that i do agree with. I own a 46 Deluxe Convertible. That said, this is a very nice car. I would have loved to seen under the hood. The car has dual exhaust and I suspect a few other nice goodies such as finned heads, and multiple carbs. Anyway, a peek under the hood would have been nice. Thanks for sharing!
At 6:33 in the video, the movie scene, the cover for the convertible top looks more flat? It looks different in the vehicle you're driving. Also in that shot you see under the windows that there is no presence of the snaps that are now along the door under the window in shot 7:12-7:14.
I happened to notice that you had a 1953 ford customline and I bought one also that I customized with shaved hood, trunk, door handles,frenched headlights and taillights, new lacquer paint job,12 volt system and a '55 Buick 322 cu. In. Nail-head V-8 with 3 '97 stromberg-carlson carbs.....I did most of it by myself and loved it......

I thought nobody can start up that car but Biff
Anyone can start the car it's a push start button on the dashboard.

Not really UA-cam impala crash test suprisingly unsafe and un tank like. I drive a 1960 F100 daily and am aware it is much lighter and less robust than you might think.

Does anyone notice that the back to the future theme is playing in the background on the piano. That was a very nice touch to the video.
The slow piano theme is awesome and really fitting. Like an old heart that's beating slower after 30 years but still has so much life in it. I hope those cars still exist for at least another 30 years and that heart keeps beating.
this is what cars should look like.
Brennan McConnell True, now they ALL bad.
It's very hard to find a nice car.
Those are nice rose colored glasses you have there guys!
Whoa.. Ratfink, that’s pretty hep

+subaruwrxfan Thanks! We do try our best to take care of it. The 40s Fords really are beautiful. :D
"Looking good Terry Biff she's all just like new but I couldn't get her started you got some kill switch on this thing".
That's the car that took a beating and dumping at the same time. Always funny when Old Biff drove young Biff to his place and tell him to get a safe.
Wow! What a flood of memories that '46 Ford Super Deluxe cope brought back. A perfect presentation of movie history now preserved. Americana at it's best in the boom years following WWII.

I actually thought it was a convertible! Didn't know they just chopped the top off a regular car! Learn something new every day!
Biff's '46 is one of my favourite cars of all time.
Hey! How'd you do that....NOBODY KNOWS HOW TO START THIS CAR BUT ME!

make like a tree and get outta here
Just get in the car, Tannen. Today's your lucky day.

Cool! Love '40s cars. Who has Doc's Packard convertible?
eldo59 more and likely universal or Paramount cause it still shows up time to time in old movies and TV shows
All scenes of car ive seen, the doors had vent windows as in they used actual convertibles. Im not sure about this car being in the film.
Didn't Biff's car have a white steering wheel too?!
Also different upholstery
Also the movie's car has a straight windshield frame, this one is a bit "curved" coming from a roof cut coupe, same as the body under the fake top cover, which is cut higher than the real convertible which you can also notice in the video.
You guys beat me to it, hope he didn't pay to much, nice cruiser though
