  • Freiburger and Dulcich rescue a flat-fender 1952 CJ-3A Jeep with a small-block Chevy that looks like it's sat at the bottom of the ocean. Dulcich found the Jeep in a yard, and after years of neglect, the guys are making it run and drive the only way they know how.

    You see this Jeep in a junkyard. How do you react?

      They would.make more money. Motor trends decision to move the videos was purely a management bonus play. I love David and Mike. Truly the next duo to the car gods. Notor trend is the worse thing that could of happened. They would of blown up so hard when all the other shows did. Stupid managers. Always the board and managers

      In the beginning you could tell David didn't have much patience for him, I know they go way way back, even then on an introductory episode David admitted when he first met Steve he was immediately annoyed.
      Apparently, David was on the phone. Steve came into his office and sat down and picked up a model car on his desk. I'm glad they are still working together and turning out good entertainment.

  • @flatfender1947
    @flatfender1947 11 місяців тому +2

    I agree with Freiburger about the name origin of Jeep. The first mention of it being called a Jeep was by Irving Red Hausmann when a representative of the Washington Daily News, in a February 20th 1941 article (same article that published the famous photo of the Willys being driven up the capital steps), journalist Katherine Hillyer asked Hausmann "what do you call it?" His response was "it's a Jeep". Hausmann also added that the Jeep name was an internal name at Willys-Overland coming from the Popeye cartoon charecter Eugene the Jeep. Ford didn't get the GPW contract and start building the "Jeep" until October 1941 so that puts the Jeep name coming from Ford out of question. Officially the vehicle was called a "Quad" at WO during development.

    Frieburger my grandfather was a ww2 vet d day +4 he went from Normandy to Berlin with a stop at the bulge and he said the jeep was their life line and without it millions of lives would be lost and he said they called it a jeep because of the cartoon character he never said anything about gpw I think that was the brass wanting to take credit for something the enlisted men invented.

  • @wingdwolf56

    Watching the entire video, all I could think about was that it was obviously very cold judging by the sweatshirts and heavy coats. But, shorts and flip flops?? Well at least you get points for getting it running. First time watching Road Kill. Will I watch more?? Probably

    Jeep= just enough essential parts. US army# all troops that were under 5 feet tall knew about this. If you have ever had the luxury to drive one of these old school Willy's you know that anyone close to 6 feet tall can't drive one. I've had a few of them over the years and I enjoy them. In the process of restoring a original Ford tub. It's taking me years to find one like my Grandpa's. Looking forward to the first time I get to drive it out of the garage.
