i am uninspired today scott , the bong is bubbeling and its coffee tonight but a thanks for the vids is the best i got... im off to watch
1:36 Ax-o-mania - Coming to a seized engine near you!
So have you been watching Merlins old school garage and his trip from Ohio to Arizona in a Modal A? His trip had a little knock but he ended up finding parts anyway it's a good one at a whole 48 mph
It pains me to know I won't be able to get the "T"shirt, though I enjoyed the series that you and your Agents put together in making the classic run, drive, and look good again. I never thought I would care about a Ford ever again after having bad experiences with 3 of their cars, but this one found a space in my heart, which is usually reserved for MoPars and certain GM products. Know that I will continue to watch and enjoy #coldwarmotors, because whether it's a 15 min short or a full hour, it's time well spent. Good on that Plymouth still getting up and going, hope I can do that when I'm over 70, lol! P.S. How does one become an Agent & and are numbers assigned? Cheers!
"T" shirt on order! Really like my Plymouth shirt. Wore it to the Tulsa Swap Meet and it received lots of comments.
One of my favorite features of coldwar motors is how you put the unity back in community by helping each other out all the time - if we all did it the world would be much different now
Canada eh.
Small Town Canada eh!
You gotta have pieced Your live together before having capacities left to give away. In a financialized, cannibalistic, neoliberal world most people don't have anything left to give even way before they could call their life halfway "pieced together". You gotta move to an environment like rural Alberta (plenty of places like that worldwide) where every pretty girl and every "promising young man" leaves for the shiny cities as soon as possible and never comes back until the funerals of their elderly relatives start to happen, should You want a circle of friends like that. Not many people are able to see that fact, let alone fathom it to its depths and consequently make that move into the dead angle at the end of the cul-de-sac.
@@manfredschmalbach9023 I was the promising young man who stayed around, but man is it lonely being a car guy here, for as populated as the area is. I can only dream of having a crew of buds like the Coldwar gang does
@@mr.goodpliers6988 I always was the one helping out, tried being that one wherever I lived, grew into being the one with the tools, the one with the connections, the single one who was easily asked for help anyway because no wive was menacing and nagging him for helping out until 3'o clock in the morning (living in 3 different European countries during the last 40 years, so I didn't exactly stay, either), and it got worse for people _not_ living in the dead angle all the way down the cul-de-sac with every crisis, with every neoliberal austerity notch their personal noose was put higher up, with every "reform" and every "groundbreaking change" no matter where You looked at.
I was the promising young man who did not live up to the elderlies expectations right before their nose because I did not want _any_ role in their rigged game already with 16 back in the seventies, and still I am suffering that car-guy-lonelyness by times, for nobody of my aging peers hanging in their nooses got time for anything until they find themselves in the oncologist's examination room ....
Funny that the first time we see Justin without his hi-vis gear is when he's actually operating construction equipment. And those plug wires were hilarious. I've heard of letting the smoke out of the wires before but not the spark.
The line at around 6:00 says it all about CWM - "It is a Plymouth, after all. It's one of the family." It's fun and amazing to see this poor old beast running so well and rolling around the yard, with Frankers enjoying her ride.
And all the other old girls stare with jealousy in their headlights.
It's been a while since Justin's been on the show. Good to see him again. Cheers and belated happy birthday to Frankers.
Nice to see Justin. He hasn’t been on in a while. He is also drinking my favorite beer
That shot of the back of the car with frankers sitting proudly in it reminded me of "driving miss daisy" 😂
👍👌👏😁😁😁
Your Sisters Car is Really Turning Out Beautiful. Please restore the 61 Belvedere 2-door Hardtop.
Travels With Charley, by John Steinbeck
Hey! Good to sse Justin around agian... Havn't seen him for a while. That old Plymouth just may deserve a nice restoration someday Scott (after the 61 Plymouth of course). Cheers from Lubbock, TX!
It was indeed 10 years ago when the "LU" was brought back to life (I had to go look it up, of course).
Always a favorite of mine, love the body style on the old girl especially in 2 door livery.
*Very* cool to see Justin again, too! Say, is gravel as damn expensive up there as it has gotten down here?
It's up damn near double since some Brandon fella showed up down here a couple years back, sheesh.
A fella with a quarter mile of private road to tend to on a ridge could go broke buying....rock, basically.
Y'all be safe, see you Sunday 3am hopefully.

The Plymouth is beautiful and deserves a major restoration to showroom condition!
With my grandfather having been gone for a year from cancer, ColdWarMotors therapeutically takes his place with old man advice, experience, and stories. Thanks for helping in my recovery. Cheers.
Deepest Heartfelt Sympathies For Your Loss, May God Almighty Keep Him Always Amen and Amen 🙏🙏
When I was 14 and 15 I'd stay with him and my grandmother for those two summers in-between school years, and I'd show him this classic car book and he'd go over what he remembers about particular models. This '50 Plymouth is only one year younger than him. @@garyparker2969
Ditto here, nothing like having the old man around to bounce ideas off of.
yup@@jamesthompson8008
1964 Calgary winter. It was -20F and I had a buddy with a 1949 Plymouth. The darn thing started without a block heater. If you needed a 50mph reliable car this was a go to option. Hats off in respect to a rock solid design!
Chrysler was really the "engineers company" back then. Built some great, reliable cars.
Love having Justin back around. And of course, what's not to like about Ashley. I loves me some Cold War Motors!!!
Miss Frankers ALWAYS looks so happy to be riding with Dad! LOve this
Thursday first! YAY!
Interested to see the lot improvements Justin is working on.
Justin's such a hard worker and so willing to take on the tough jobs that don't get seen - this week's MVP for sure! Hope he can make it out a few more times this summer for laughs and classic Darts!
Why do I love seeing old junk brought back to life? 'Cuz I'm just a sad bastard!
Cheers and see ya Saturday!
And I ordered a T shirt. Cheers again!
To be able to drive an old car through rows of old cars is a little piece of heaven. You are a lucky man. As always, great video!
Another good old girl.. Cheers from the shed!
The Shed needs an addition Randahl for a stablemate for the Speedster!😎
@@glennnickerson8438 Sounds good to me!
Cheers Randahl! Yeah, it would seem I have a fondness for this kind of thing...
"Let's take the Plymouth and go get beers and smokes...and some back bacon...and new tooks!!!"
The Plymouth was running so roughly, it caused the minor landslide as it passed the windrowed fill material.
I love it when friends come over and turn into a giant peanut gallery. The ornamentation on those old cars are a thing of beauty. Cheers!!
* Actually the 50 Plymouth has a nice design. Good to see Justin. Think it's time for another installment of " Classic Darts" . 👊😎👍
*I can think of worse ways of spending the day than awakening an old car and taking it for a spin, that era of car really looks great*
My maternal grandparents had a medium blue one of these short 1950 Plymouths. It is one of the cars in my earliest memories. They bought it new and used it until 1966 when they bought a medium blue Valiant to replace it. Grandma insisted that it was exactly the same length as the '50. This was important to them because the car needed to fit in their Model T garage. Your '50 is one of the best sounding cars that you have.
Man, if you don't love a '50 L U 2 door sedan, you can pound sand, what an old sweetheart. This is another I've secretly hoped would make the queue for years, would be great to see it with some new steel let in and plates. We all only live so long, of course.:) Cheers!
I'm not a "go fast" guy and I love the Mopar 218 6 cylinder! They're super super easy to work on and I don't think you can kill one unless you really try! I have '49 Plymouth P18 and she starts easier than my modern car.
What's her happy place? 45 mph or could you push 65?
My grandma gave me her 50 Plymouth business coup. I had a lot of fun with that car.
And Frankers is such a total hoot !!!!
Good to see the Plymouth out. Frankers looks right at home in it. Pabst Blue Ribbon and Darts the breakfast of champions.
Definitely need a full video on the lot improvement at Coldwar motors. Gonna be great with all the dirt work.
I once had a LYM UT.
When it still had all of its letters, I used to see it dropping off a schoolmate at grade school. I noticed it because in 1965 you didn’t see many 15 year old cars on the road. I bought it after it passed through another family member. My friend who drove a DO G R M and I had fun with the abbreviations
Sounds and runs just like an old Holden.
I'd love to see that beautiful old one restored. 😁
what a great old car! Two down and still pretty much ran like a champ. They dont make them like that anymore.
Poor old girl spins over fast on the 12 volts. The 50 Plodge we have here in North Queensland now runs a 12 volt starter as the 6 volt one died. I still think about converting her back to 6volt. Maybe one day. Cold starts are not a real issue in the Tropics
Juat love seeing an old Plymouth fire up and move under her own power. I'm never surprised to see one come back to life even after long sitting. Looking forward to seeing the driveway work too.
Where's the exhaust-pipe video...?
Mandatory! OK...no pipe?
Loved how we started out and I'm thinking oh an update on the CWM HQ, loads of aggregate, the Bobcat ready! Then we move into the "main" job.... Fixing up the Plymouth 😂😂. Lovely car hopefully one you'll find time to lavish your skills on Scott, with the help of the Agents.
Still a runner, and more!
Thanks for featuring the 50 Plymouth. I had enjoyed seeing it previously; it brings back pleasant memories. A 4dr sedan which had been bought new by my grandfather was our family’s transportation in the mid to late 50s when I was a young kid. This was the car that got me into a lifelong love affair with Plymouths.
Scott, great to see Frankers feeling her oats again! My aunt sold her 51 Plymouth 2 dr to my mom and dad for $235 in 1957 when I got my drivers lic. They wanted me to have wheels so I could run my older sister (who never got her lic) around town. That unit would do 50 in 1st + 70 in 2nd until a rear end collision took it out of service. Went through a couple of Fords + a 48 Chevy coupe until the early 60s when my uncle gave me his 52 Plymouth. Drove it through grad school and married my 1st wife whilst that unit still carried us everywhere. Over 110 grand on the clock and it started every morning. Not surprised your 50 cranked right up! It's their nature to never quit. Thanks for the memories! Cheers!
Plymouth's take on GM's 'fastback' body style has always been kind of a guilty pleasure:
K. T. Keller: GM has a hit with their Aerosedan. We need something like that, but it also has to look 'stodgy' like the rest of the Plymouth line...
Plymouth Design Team: Hold my beer...
Daviddolson - Yep, and the '49 Chevy grill at 7:09. Had to look twice to see it wasn't a Chevy. Welp, the more '49 Chevy grilles I see, the better... I guess🤔
Even though that Plymouth wasn't exactly "Happy" it still dragged it's self to the certified CWM tune-up bay. What an absolute specimen of a unit. 👍
The fastbacks are super rare
Congrats on the gravel work in front of the garage. Plans finally coming to fruition. Nice. That Plymouth is something else! Great video. Hello Justin and Ash.
Awesome to see some fresh gravel being brought in....way to go Scott😎
Making room for a couple dozen more cars.
Great to see Justin and that wonderful 50 Plymouth!
I always love watching Ms. Frankers riding shotgun. Too cool. 👍
It is amazing how far your channel has come. 16 minutes used to be the norm! Love to see the old Plymouth out and about and all the updates to the "home place"! Cheers to you and the gang!
One of my favourite cars in your yard
Justin: That doesn't sound like a cummins.
Also Justin: I'm already doing two things. (smoke and beer)
We bought a 1950 Plymouth out of a barn around 2003. No one else showed up at the farm auction who wanted it and I think my dad got it for $200. It had started life tan, then been bumped in the front fender. It had a replacement 49 fender installed, close enough if you don't look close enough. The car was painted light blue (the correct early 50's shade, not baby blue). The upholstery was still decent and the dash was absolutely mint. We had bought a 6 volt battery for my 1949 Lincoln Cosmopolitan, so I switched it into the Plymouth. It cranked over. Before we ever got it to fire, the weep hole of the water pump became a mini orange waterfall. We ordered a new one. Had to call around to order, but they still got one in. In the box was an instruction page. "Warranty voided if cooling system is not flushed clean first". Well that was the end of the fun. The best thing I knew to do was remove the block and tip it on end, filled with acid. Working on a rock driveway with winter approaching, was not going to happen. We rolled the car back in our family storage barn and there it still sits two decades later
Ha! Awesome... Probably a lot of them still in barns and sheds; they just seem to hang around, hey? Cheers from everyone here, Tim!
My first car was a 1949 Ford 2 door sedan. My Mom bought it for me on my 14 th. Birthday. It cost $ 15.00 + .60 cents tax. Seeing to '50 Plymouth run brought back fond memories of that time. Love all you guys do, I'd love to visit some day.
Amazing engineering to take so little care and still run 73 years later
Scott, sounds just like my 50 Plymouth.
If I can find the extra hood letters I will send them to you!
Can't wait to see the driveway project..
Cheers from Wisconsin
The Thursday night "short" is always great. I might have to go watch the 1950 "LU" videos again.
You guys are having too much fun !! Good on ya !
Wow, that starter was kickin' ass and takin' names !!!!! And now, the old girl is ready to hit the road to Miami, Florida !!!
New driveway will be nice. Keep up the great content and I'll see yall Saturday.
Another great episode of CWM.
Looking forward to your next video.
All the best!
The midweek episodes are a treat.
Love to see Franker's silhoette sitting like a queen in the old cars🐩 framed by the cool shape of vintage design, would love to see the view out over the '40 Chevs bonnet as your driving down the road, one can scoff Jaffa Cakes and drift back in time, vicariously enjoying the drive on your adveentures. Lockdown seems an age ago , yet your weekly show became an anchor to a constant of sorts during that time. Cheers Captain for that,
Such a happy old car that just wants to keep on going. Always loved the looks of the old sedans.
That Plymouth sure runs smooth, a little tick at low rpm. Not bad for a 73 year old car!!
Beautiful daily driver
If you don't need to leave the farm.
GREAT VIDEO,, THAT PLYMOUTH DOESNT WANT TO DIE SHE WANTS TO STAY ALIVE... WE NOTICED MY SON MAX 8 THAT YOU HAVE SOME 1958 DODGE CUSTOM ROYALES SWEEP WINGS ... WE HAVE ONE ITS MAX CAR HE WANTED IT AT A CAR SHOW AND WE BOUGHT IT OR HE WOULDNT STOP CRYING ,,, ITS A SUNDAY OR A SHOW CAR OR A EMPTY PARKING LOT FOR HIM TO DRIVE .. KEEP THE PLYMOUTH GOING YOUR DOG KNOWS GOOD CAR TO RIDE IN,,.. THANKS ,,,PEACE...
Four is just fine!
nice sweet ol 2 door ya gotta love it and runs so smooth. thanks for some fun. cheers guys.the T shirt will be nice to add to the fleet.
Your '50 Plymouth and I were both born in the same year but I'm pretty sure your Plymouth is in far better shape than I am. I love how Frankers hops in your vehicles with much excitment...no matter which vehicle it is.
Wooo--hooo.295th Like after 1100 Views in 24 Minutes.The Channels rocking a Thursday !
Hi Scott. It's amazing the old Plymouth still runs and drives after 73 years.
Wow! New gravel for the driveway! Less Mus and less Crud! Great to see the old Plymouth run again Scott. Basic engines were easy to trace any problems back then. I remember how exciting it was back then to change a plug wire and stop the miss. Thanks so much for sharing! Hello to all your Buds for bringing life into the show!
Hdad rubs for Francine! Cheers, Rich
I still love my 53 Plymouth coupe even as it sits now. I’ll get back on that one next year. Got it from a guy in our neighborhood back in ‘01
@@patdesrosiers6423 Much joy to you!1 That is terrific! Do yourself Proud! Thanks for sharing! Rich
My neighbor bought a 1950 Plymouth exactly like yours. He was tickled pink about it because it had been modified and except for the Porsche red color the previous owner had painted it (and the duel exhaust pipes) it was a sleeper. The interior had been redone and the electrical was upgraded to 12Volts but nothing else was fancy. A new standard looking headliner, seat covers and new rubber mats had been installed. the steering wheel had even been left original. What made this car surprise everyone was when it started and idled. A blueprinted 426 Hemi was shoehorned into the engine bay. No one would have ever known it either from the exterior as the car had its front springs replaced for the extra weight.
So lucky to be able to experience you guys just living life the way you are wanting to and able to do. Great evening to you all and enjoy your weekend! From my family and friends to you all Good bless you all and I hope you are able to sleep well tonight. Little Frankers said I would look good in the Plymouth!😅
Those old mopar flathead sixes soldered on as the base engine until 1959. They were tough and reliable and easy to work on.
Gotta love Frankers !
That Plymouth has to be a rarity, I have never seen a 50 fastback Plymouth!
I've seen a few on UA-cam. I really like that body style. Would be a nice one to add to the restored Plymouth lineup.
Happy to see a car only five years older than myself still working!
Love your midweek video blurbs and the "Old Iron Resuscitation"! Your opening seconds of the video looked like you might be putting in the "ColdWarMotors Test Track" to keep all your historic artifact's joints and bearings oiled and happy. Not a bad idea actually, though your neighbors might not appreciate the smoke and clatter 😉😂
The music is just so awesome as always
I’d love to see that mean green forward look machine behind the Plymouth go for a rip!
I can't believe that the old Plymouth fired right up!
Oh man, there's a PBR! My brew of choice 40 years ago...
Awesome seeing that Plymouth drive off. 😊
2 XL's ordered! I like that old Ply. Got a nice look to it. Have a great Friday, see ya Saturday Scott!
Start-Up & Tune-Up!
My mother had a 49 Plymouth . ❤cheers.
The old flathead engines were built Tough, did not start up too bad all things considered!!
Awesome guys, thank you very much. Old 'Lu' here, what a survivor! Maybe one day she'll be back on the road. Chiming in with fellow viewers, great to see Justin again.
One half of the intrepid 'Smoke Show' duo, I can't complain. Thanks again gentlemen, 'weird little humming sound', nice ✌😃Looking forward to Saturday showdown.
that motor is a trooper
Hello guys! I have wondered for years why you didnt get some stone for the driveway!
Keep up with my favorite videos!
Great to see Justin !! He did a lot of camera work in the early years!
Just proof the old will always get you on your way. The ‘Ol LU is looking for a cruise down the road. Be a sweet driver. Thanks for saving it and sharing. Nice up grade on the straight 4. That’s a NASCAR trick. Missing two cylinders to gain HP. Pressured down tires just to increase traction. Impressive sleeper.
Reminds me of trying to start my brothers 49 Dodge Roadster in the dead of winter in New England.
love the cobwebs fluttering in the cool flathead breeze!
"As soon as they run they become legendary..." Hell yeah, Ash.
Oh man, that heap brings back the memories. First of many hand me downs from my dad. It was the slowest thing in my school, but I wasn’t walking.
Thanks for the video Scott.
Always good to see it all character of the show shaking some cobwebs off I don't want to mention this time of season yet but before the winter it could be a fun little challenge to see how many of the old will it runs can popoff and maybe go for little jaunt around the yard before hibernation
Awesome! 🔧🔩🔧🔩🔧🔩🔧🔩🔧🔩🔧🔩🔧🔩
I'm not normally a fan of cars before about 1957, but that 50 Plymouth 2 door is quite a handsome machine.
No treats for Frankers today - two duff plug leads is beginners stuff 😁
