I love how Ed seems to have more life when he mentions cannonball
"passion" is the word you're looking for.
Ed is very passionate about cannonball.
@@CreamAle yeah my brain is at 10% power today
@@Just_Tong nah you're good bro. Just get a bit of coffee or tea in yah for that caffeine boost and get back on the grind.
You got this.
@@CreamAle caffeine is a good option, i appreciate the tip
I believe that's the effects of the Cocaine he found in pocket of that Cannonball Jacket.
Huge thanks to everyone who helped make this happen!
Thank you Ed! I do hope Lady Pamela is doing well. Pass along our love and best wishes.
What was the magic number for the jacket? I know its priceless to have a priced possession from some one u look up to just curious is all give us a ball park figure
I love how much passion and respect Ed has for the cannonball legacy.
The Jacket! It certainly found the right home. Congratulations! I'll have to come to tell more stories so I can try it on!
You wearing that jacket is how the world ends haha
As great as stories are from the other guest nothing beats an Ed story
Maybe Travis Bell does haha
@@corey5797 oh I love Travis’s stories same with Christopher Michaels. But watching Ed in the chair from time to time brings it full circle
@@tabobbiburnett6740 absolutely
The Holy Grail was the friendship we found along the way.
It was so exciting to watch this bidding go down. So happy to see it go to an amazing caretaker
I really hope there is a '10 years on' Cannonball type of video from Ed this fall!
For sure!
Absolutely outstanding story and great to hear that Ed ended up with the original Cannonball jacket!
I have to say the true grail of the Cannonball was the abolishment of the 55 MPH speed limit.
Which I think was won by Brock himself. When he took down a Washington bureaucrat on Ted Copple. By stating it's real easy to tell people how to drive, when you go to work in the back of limousine everyday. That's a video I want to see again, better than any video this channel has ever shown.
People forget the true point of the Cannonball was a protest against the 55 MPH, telling "The Man" where to go. Most of you reading this have no idea what that world was like. The shame of it all, today's world is far worse.
I was very happy when the 55 limit was abolished too! However it raises the question of "what is an appropriate limit?" I drive a 2013 odyssey and 55mph instead of 70, adds over 11mpg to my highway driving. There's an actual purpose for the choice of 55, gas savings. For what purpose is the number 70 appropriate? As opposed to 80,90, or 190? If it's so people spend less time driving then 190 seems better, right? If it's for safety then 35 would be better. If it's supposed to be a compromise then why has it remained static despite the incredible advancements in car safety and speed abilities?
The fact is any speed limit is just a way to create revenue for local police. However 55 has a really good explanation. It saves a LOT of gas! I recommend you try it some time, the results will shock you.
Personally, I think there shouldn't be a speed limit at all. But if there HAS to be a limit, it shouldn't be an arbitrary decision, there should be valid reasons for why the number is chosen.
@@nftminter7922the 55mph speed limit was in response to the oil embargo and gas shortages
Same for US CAFE fuel economy standards
So yeah it’s specifically a fuel economy compromise
This might be the best add for a jacket ever. The absolute passion Ed has for cannonball is contagious, makes you want to earn a jacket.
Sammy Davis Jnr and Burt Reynolds, the girls in that Lamborghini Countach 👍
It was amazing to see this go down and that it ended up in the hands of one of us...and not the strangers who were bidding on it
I would like to think of myself as extended family, thank you. We are the ones that make this channel successful, together.
Just curious of what it went for? Thanks
@kevinl3235 not putting it out publicly but more than you'd expect
@@Suhspencce No worries, definitely a neat story nevertheless. Thank you.
Ed is the type of guy who will do just one more cannonball and do it in a Countach just for the LOLz.
Don't mention being a Varsity swimmer next time you go on PKA; Woody will never shut up about being a swimmer. 😂
Cool story. I can't think of anyone better to care for this jacket going forward. Congratulations Ed!
From the thumbnail I thought it was the Ferrari.
I was an enthusiastic subscriber to Car & Driver back in the '70s, and Brock Yates' column would always be the first thing I'd read. That was truly the golden age of automotive journalism.
I always wished I could have met Brock. I heard so much about and him and grew up only a half hour from where he made his home. That close proximity meant that I did come across guys that had met him and had stories.. But alas, our paths were never meant to cross directly. I did meet a few who had.. so I have to take solace in that.. I might have had a better chance if my father kept driving into the later 70’s.. but he gave it up to be a father and dad..
Another big question is how come the soundtrack of the original movie is basically impossible to find and download? Lol. Great buy Ed!
Fenderbaum : [Fenderbaum and Blake's Ferrari drives alongside J.J.'s ambulance] Pull over! We want to give you our blessing!
Victor Prinsi : J.J., there are two priests in that car. They want us to pull over.
J.J. McClure : Victor, that's two priests driving a Ferrari. When's the last time you saw two priests drive a Ferrari? What are they doing, taking home the bingo money?
Victor Prinsi : No, they're doing the work of the Lord. In a Ferrari, they can just do it faster.
Congrats Ed, watching the auction was crazy! I got a cool Brock Yates book signing poster for my barn from Paul!
"Nice car Father"
"Thanks Asshole..."
🤣😂😅
That jacket is absolutely priceless... I'm glad Ed is the one to now own it and keep it protected 🤙
Cool story, but I was hoping they'd found the Ferrari from the movie shown in the thumbnail.
Erwin George Baker a.k.a. cannonball Baker set a speed record 1921 in 12 days across the US in 1933 he got it down to 53 hours and 30 minutes just adding a little history
I’m subbed but I only clicked because Sammy Davis Jr was in the thumbnail.
😂
Who else saw the thumbnail and thought this video was going to be about the Ferrari?
😐😕
First class story and first class guy. Wonderful community.
Mr. Yates helped me become a petrol head and fascinated me with his excellent writing and did indeed inspire me as a teenager and going forward. So much so, that I see his legacy in almost every automobile journalist nowadays. I didn't know he was in the actual film as most articles in magazines had either no picture or a very small one. Nice to see your respect for a man that has created so many careers. Cheers!
Super happy that this important piece of cannonball history is in good hands.
Wait…Ed set the cannonball record? Why hasn’t he mentioned this before :)
He has before
@@candycouldntbesosweet you don’t say
@@ruk2023-- yup :) it’s pretty intriguing ed has done it before
@@candycouldntbesosweet guy I was being sarcastic about it because he has mentioned it often before
@@ruk2023-- alright douche
Need more Cannonball content 👍
This is the kind of story that really touches the heart of the enthusiast. Great way to start my Friday on a positive foot.
Here in socal another cannonball car has popped up recently, it’s a stretch Porsche limo and it’s for sale. It was driven by the founder of Benihana, it’s really rough but it for sure is the same car.
I guess if someone wanted to jump into this could be shouting CANNONBALL!
Is the Cannonball Quattro poster at 7:28 available anywhere?
The jacket belongs with you ed. The cannonball was smoke in the rear view mirror until you ressurected the dream!!!
Legit, old cannonball is dead. This new version pales in comparison and is a joke.
Bidding on this was fun but it went way past my comfort zone. Glad it stayed in the “family” with the most fitting caretaker.
I just want to try it on and get a picture with it the next time I’m down there.
This is cool. One of the more interesting evenings of my life was hanging out with Oscar Kovaleski and Toly Arutunoff; I knew them both separately before, but this was just me, them, and a keg in an SCCA hospitality suite. 😊
Very cool! I have a weird question, when people come on to tell their stories, we assume they're talking to Ed, right? Well, when Ed is on telling a story, who's he talking to? Himself? (yeah, the heat may be getting to me....)
He looks at a mirror... haha actually no clue
I have an infinity g35 couple and one day I will go on a cannon run
Hey Ed!! Just looked in your store. Couldn’t find the jackets. Thanks, Scott in Roswell
That jacket is a historical treasure for sure and you are the current care taker for it!
Like can you just imagine all of the people that jacket has seen? Farrah, Burt, Sammy, Dean, just wow....
Correction - the holy grail of Cannonball garments are the pink and purple jumpsuits worn by Adrienne Barbeau and Tara Buckman. Find those and now you really have something to be excited about!
Ah you kinda fooled me here ed, I thought you were talking about the juced up ferrari or sammy's hat that he wore during filming, still cool nonetheless though lol
also you oughta track down the story of that ferrari, I know it, or atleast I think I do, and its got a really cool history behind it that might make for a good viniwki story
especially given that car in particular was I believe one of the very first 308's brought into the country and used as Car and Drivers Original test car.
Congratulations man
Cannonbaaaaaallllll!!!
Incorrect. The true Holy Grail is setting a new record in a metallic brown McLaren F1 with a frankly dubious title and import history.
I wonder if Mr. Bolian plans out his stories, or if everything is off the top of his head?
Judging by the thumbnail, I thought the Holy Grail of Cannonball was going to be Sammy's cowboy hat!
If anyone deserves to wear brocks jacket, it's you Ed! Congrats! Keep the flame lit for cannonball!
Several years ago I was taking pictures at the annual Winter Park, FL Concours and this old man pulled up in a white, Ferrari Dino. He walked over to me asking about the unusual camera ( GoPro ) I was using and we got to talking about his car he brought for display. He told me he was from Gainesville and I chuckled and said " you didn't drive that thing all the way here for the show did ya " and he said " no, I brought it on a trailer". I said that would've been a long, uncomfortable ride in that car. He then said " well I once drove it all the way across the US to win the 1975 Cannonball. Then he reached out to shake my hand and said Hi, I'm Jack May. He was very nice and we talked about his car and the Cannonball. It was an amazing experience that bordered on the surreal.
It’s a JACKET, not a car. 😶 You’re welcome
What makes those four years the only true cannonball?
so sad to see Ed doing this... promoting " drippin n' drivin ", cause my boy is killin em' in that jacket lol
my favorite movie was Canonball Run
Question..?? They made a movie called Cannonball Run I'm thinking 80s maybe..After the movie a bunch of guys and gal's gets together and does a real life Cannonball Run cause if I'm not mistaken, Richard Rawlings was the huge winner that nobody beat, at least that's what he's been saying cause I'm guessing that he still has the same car maybe. Not sure but that's what I've been understanding lol..That would be fun and cool to do cause I watched the movie and I'm pretty sure that everybody watched it and was hilarious and interesting to see lol..Now my question is did a bunch of people get together and actually do a Cannonball Run cause I've heard Richard talk about quite a bit..
A subject that never gets old!
Poor Eds got a dead CCD pixel on his forehead 😩😊 Can't un-see it!
It’s not what you do, it’s how you do it.
Ed - I gotta know man - how much was the jacket????? I won’t tell anyone 😀
Please make an exact replica!
I guess I figured the "holy grail" would be the Brock Yates' Moon Trash van, Dan Gurney's Ferrari Daytona, or Dave Yarborough's Jaguar XJ-S, not a jacket.
Gas monkey had the jag I believe
I didn't know there was only 4 real cannonball's. I would love to do the run if I ever had a shot... Great video
I used to collect Car and Driver magazines and read all the articles from Brock Yates and Csaba Csere and other Automotive Drivers. I have been a Car enthusiast since the 70's because of this men. I feel Ed is doing the same work for current generations!!!
And David E. Davis Jr., too :-)
You're out of most sizes of CB shirts. Please post when you have more.
I would consider getting in touch with Round 2/Auto World AW to produce die-cast 1/64, 1/18 scale replicas. They also sell HO scale slot cars and tracks. Im picturing a four lane Cannonball race set! Could you imagine a Blue 1/18 scale 71 Ferarri Daytona on your shelf or any of your favorite Cannonball cars on your shelf or in your showcase? I'd get Brock's Challenger. I'd try to buy every model offered!
I'm a marketing genius.
You're welcome.
Amazing story Ed, thank you for what you do for Cannonball!!
What a Cool Jacket
Very cool!
These bleeds here?
I just discovered this a few days ago.. i never knew it was a real event. Now its a goal, im gonna do it in a kia
One of my favorite movies of all time. What a cool piece to have
Guess the jackets sold out on the VinWiki site?
at the 1.03..."I know those guys-"
Awe yeah! That's so awesome, Ed! Congrats!!!
Yessssss another Ed Story!
Thanks for the mention I appreciate it.
Ed is up there with Dave Grohl at telling stories!
Awesome! We visited Brock’s Cannonball Run Pub in 1987 and still have their menu with business cards.
Ed you wear my father's jacket well. My mom, Lady Pamela, is thrilled you bought it. Hopefully we'll see you soon
Good book by Ed if you haven't read it. Ed is a pleasure to speak to as well. Interesting guy with good moral compass (so I cannot fathom how he sold cars).
Ed show some love to the app and get us a update.. nice jacket BTW lol
I'm trying to find a August 1975 car and driver magazine Does anyone have one? They would like to sell?
I so wish that I could try one on in the biggest size that you have, I'm not built...."correctly".
Left at 4:30 to watch the full movie, all I can say is wow those old school cars we are so lucky these days hopefully someone looks at my ve commodore in 20 years like I look at those cars
Thats good to know that autotempest and searchtempest are related. I thought the new one was a copycat sight. Been using searchtempest for a LONG time, something like 2009? It was great for parts.
That thing belongs in the Smithsonian, when you're done with it.
As a scandinavian. Gathering a team from Norway and sweeden. Then to go and spank the record is a dream.
Loved this one. Such a personal story. Now, to go watch the movie tonight...
The jacket is awesome! Who has Dean and Sammy’s Ferrari?
Ed did have the makings of a varsity athlete , unlike Tony
Hi from the UK, are you going to restock that jackets?
Ed ... the VinWiki OG
I think Ed deserves that jacket more than anyone else on the planet!
Great way to sell merch and plug ads at the same time!
Someone should cannonball in a high top conversion van 😂
My favorite videos from this channel are cannonball videos. I was lucky enough to meet Ed and tell him that at the last Amelia Island show. He was truly a gentleman and was beyond appreciative!
