For sure! Cars were built like beasts back then. You could probably drive this 1941 Buick on Caledonia Mountain Road in New Brunswick, Canada and come out with with minimal damage. For context, said road has potholes, uneven pavement, and is just gravel in some parts. Pure trash!
VIDEO IDEA as a ram owner I love your truck. Please please please do a video of a scuff and spray on that safety yellow box. It would look so deadly matching red. Be a good video to show people painting on a budget as well !!! Love the content. As always.
@@jeremyTallen1 not that I don't like it I just think there's cool video potential and upgrade potential. I've done quite a few paint projects like that and it's fun to do and pretty cheap!
I think all the viewers would've been shocked at just how smoothly it ticked over after all that time. On a par with the horrendously filthy 1950s Mercedes 190 4 pot which I thought would be a scrapper!
@@axel3588picked up everything cars all my life hard to believe what will run sometimes after many years of sitting. Then there are always that percentage that is totally rusted out.. varnish...and white cruud Experience is it's always how they are stored.. the case of this Buick it's never really sat that to that long to be ruined.. in other words that car is in good shape mechanically
I appreciate that your channel and content is family friendly. I get to watch these videos with my 2 year old and 4 year old. They love them as much as I do. You are known as “the mechanic” in our household. Much appreciation for you brother.
The Bureaucracy you have to fight with these days to import a vehicle can get crazy,for example:ALL ASBESTOS has to be removed. Brakes, Clutch, headgaskets and so on need to be removed and a paper trail provided.
I believe this is actually a "Sedanette". My family moved from Detroit to Los Angeles in a 1941 Buick Special Sedanette in 1943 or 44, during the war, with ration permits because my dad was going to an industry making parachutes (a factory formerly making bras and girdles!). No AC, no belts, to infant seats, funky motels and restaurants. Car had a truck clutch as you couldn't get parts. It had a replacement grill made of cheap chrome replacement which made it look like a guy with half his teeth knocked out. As things improved after the war, we got my mom a 49 Chevy convertible.
Ok PB blaster also works as a great Roach repeller. I used to have to work in commercial kitchens . If they had roaches you spray a ring around you and they don’t cross it ,you can then work with out worrying about them getting into your tool box or clothing.
@@johnfranklin5277 Nursing homes and the Most Expensive ones were the worst. I hate roaches,mice,rats. It was Sad to see total chaos in nursing homes, big huge dishwashers. They say it hasn’t gotten up to temp for a week. I show up and the temp is low ,that’s because it was not Rinsing anything. The inside of this big unit is loaded with mold,black and red mold. When I tell them it hasn’t been rinsing they said Diarrhea is everywhere in the nursing home. No rinse and soap residue = Diarrhea. I will never go into one I will die at home thank you.
Reminds of a story a work colleague told me about his Buick straight eight. He was teaching his daughter to drive in it and she had pulled into the driveway in front of the garage. They sat talking for a little while and she had her foot on the depressed clutch pedal. Her foot slipped off the clutch at idle and it was in 1st gear. It didn’t stall but drove through the open garage door, through the stud wall as well as the external brick wall. Only stopped moving when the car got hung up on the pile of bricks under it.
40:35 Hey Chris. I imported a car from the UK 3 yrs ago and yes it will need more cleaning, ESPECIALLY going to Australia. Mine was required to have a certificate of steam cleaning underneath to kill bugs etc. If he ships it in a container the following isn't an issue but if he uses Roll on Roll off, it will have to be driveable (so front seats fitted) and have a functional gas tank (no boat tank allowed) with no more than 1/4 full. Finally, if using RORO the car has to be empty. No spare parts in the trunk etc.
@NoNonsenseKnowHow No problem! Let me know if you want and I can email you. Best bet is to get a reputable importer to handle the process. Here is some additional info. rvcs-prodweb.dot.gov.au/sevs/sevsindex.htm Congrats on your expected arrival btw! My girl just turned 6 and it's absolutely awesome being dad to a little girl.
It will have to be tent fumigated. And if the container sits at port for too long it will have to be tent fumigated again, at the expense of either the importer or the exporter.
@@douro20 Good point regarding fumigation. I forgot about that with Australia. It will possible have to be pressure washed (underside included) to rid it of any dirt etc. Won't be cheap to import that thing sadly.
WOW shipping to Australia,,,, I am retired from Caterpillar dealer as a store manager, and have sent many use machine there. In fact I had worked for Giles and Ransom (now owned by Foley inc.) there in PA in the 90's. Anyway I can tell you that car will have to be really clean before it can ever get on the ship let alone on Australian soil. You may be able to get away with what you have done already. I think they will want the bottom of the car steam cleaned. They will not like to see all that caked up oil and dirt. Any sign of a rat or mouse will stop it. Even a little spot of dirt on the frame. Australia has very strict rules about this. Those Buick engine were really good engines. Like you said they are quiet for their time. They were just a well built car. Anyway I enjoy your channel,,, thanks for sharing. Oh one of my main customers there in PA was JH Beers construction. They had a whole warehouse of old car and trucks. At that time the CEO had a collection of cars in a climate controlled barn. He had a few Packards and a 1913 Cadillac Roadster that was just beautiful. Like Jay Leno he had his own tech and body man.
Cheers from Oz 🇦🇺, I hope the Bloke that’s bringing the Buick to Oz does the full bit on it and we get regular updates even when it lobs over here. It has enormous potential to be a sweet little vehicle ✅
in 1965 in auto shop I was the only one to dissemble an old Buick straight 8 my shop teacher gave me a A. everyone else wanted to work on the new ford 289s. good content
Watching you working on the 1941 Buick brings back memories when I had my 1940 Buick Century! This 1941 looks about 90% the same. Thanks for making me smile and bringing me back 20 years.
🇾🇪Hello my dear friend Chris, I have waited a whole month to get a shirt and now I am wearing it and will show it to all my friends. Greetings to you from Yemen.
Never fails to impress me somehow when an engine that's been sitting for decades fires right up with a bit of new fuel and a cleaning of the points. You love to see it.
You work hard Chris to give us all the best camera shots,and still manage to bring these beauties back to life at the same time. Respect for you man,and thanks for every video .
I'm wanting to start my own channel, woodworking, and I am so inspired by your work. So professional yet you come off as just a good friend and great partner and pet owner. Love how you keep it simple and fun. Thank you very much.
Amazing running old Buick! They truly built things to last back in the day. The old girl is a great project. I hope its Australian owner will restore this classic Buick and enjoy it! Great video.
First automobile as a teenager was a 1953 Buick Special with Straight 8. That auto taught me much with multiple issues such as blown head gaskets etc. Was a heavy beast.
I'm a new subscriber. I like the way you edit in order to keep the mechanics "moving." Too many channels unlike yours, keep the video running while they move, ratchet, hammer, etc. As if viewers wanted to watch the person turn, wrench, etc.
What a nice car. The fact it's a runner is remarkable in itself, and despite the hole in the exhaust that sound soo smooth...Nothing like an inline engine and that displacement is the perfect size IMO for that vintage and size of car. Would love to see this restored and on the road here in Aus. Good work man!
Awesome car, love the lines. My first car was a beautiful 38 Buick Special 4 door Fastback with S8 and 3 spd on the floor. For real barn find. Found in dry chicken barn in Petaluma California 1969. I was only 15 and worked at the hay Co where barn was. It had dual sidemounts with the original steel covers. They bought it new for the wife in 38. They parked it in the barn in 42 bc the master cylinder went out. War time so no parts. It had 38k miles on the clock. It had an inch of dust on it but had been dry all them years. Oiled the barrels, put a battery in and she fired right up. After a good wash she was the most beautiful dark blue. Original Moe Hair interior was mint. The old wife cried when I pulled the 38 out and threw a hose on it. Two years later I worked all summer filming American Graffiti with George and the crew. George would have sold me that crappy yellow coupe for a $1 if I had asked. Biggest $$$ mistake of my life. Awesome content. Keep up the good work. Larry Fresno California
Have you ever considered coming down under for some live action/outback revivals or there are so many boats and cars you would never have seen, its all nuts and bolts right? im a bit older than you but have done what you do, and we think the same way bro, sometimes i predict what ur gonna say or do, but when u sunk the Tundra hahahahahahahahahaha fkn gold bro
You did a great job on bringing that old 41 around. The motor runs so smooth and even the inside and outside looks really nice after you cleaned and washed everything. The guy in Australia has a very clean, straight and fantastic running car to get started with and I bet it'll look and run like new when he finishes her up. Have him send you pictures as he's getting it done and pass them along to us so we can see her. You're about finished with your Mustang and she looks great! Take care and I'll catch you soon on your next video. 👍
Bob Wills is still the king! Waylon Jennings live from 1976, one of my favorites! Man, I knew I liked you. Great song. Great channel. Thank you for sharing!
That's definitely one of the quietest straight-8 engines I've heard. It's surprising that they had the technology in the 1940s to make there cars luxurious and simple to work on back then. Definitely one of my favourite cars on this channel so far.
I’m a big fan of Blaster’s MultiMax. I keep two cans on my truck. I love the no odor, and the spray adjusting knob. Thanks for the recommendation, Chris.
I picked up one of your NNKH hats Chris (the same one you wear in this video) and I gotta say the quality is great, I'm super happy with it! Thanks for another great video, cheers from Canada
This is the best channel I've seen Chris is awesome very knowledgeable and really does a great job on fixing up old vehicles I like the way he explains his work thank you for the great content
I never thought of hats as comfortable, but my NNKH hat is supremely comfortable and secure. My go to hat and whenever I wear a different hat, I wish I didn't!
I love early Buick's with the side opening hoods, I have a couple of Racing Champions 1949 Buick Riviera's at 1:64, that both have the side opening hood, a very rare feature on 1:64 diecast. I would love to see more on this car, I have no issues with it going to Australia, like Us in the UK, they love there cars and muscle cars. I have lots of diecast friends down under. Great video buddy.
Great video, Chris. My uncle bought one of those and drove it from Idaho to Florida in 1951. His was a 1941 convertible. I was so cool. Starter was under the gas pedal. I believe GM called that suspension, "knee action"; not sure, maybe that's what we called it. LOL
Cars were truly a work of art back then!
Don't forget that car sat for a good four years while the war was fought and has rationed
Love the older cars not like the junk built now
@@stagman4611 unc had cars from 40s. In 60s. They were dirty underpowered parts were ,Oney and they were very unsafe in high speed accident😮😮😮

I agree with someone that said saving it for Saturday morning. That is the only time I get to enjoy videos without any Interruptions
The straight eight is a unique motor, and that's why I love them.❤
They were actually quite common - Pontiac, Olds, Chrysler, Nash, Studebaker, Hudson, Packard, all made straight 8 engines.

My first car was a beautiful 38 Buick Special 4 door Fastback with S8 and 3 spd on the floor. For real barn find. Found in dry chicken barn in Petaluma California 1969. I was only 15 and worked at the hay Co where barn was. It had dual sidemounts with the original steel covers. They bought it new for the wife in 38. They parked it in the barn in 42 bc the master cylinder went out. War time so no parts. It had 38k miles on the clock. It had an inch of dust on it but had been dry all them years. Oiled the barrels, put a battery in and she fired right up. After a good wash she was the most beautiful dark blue. Original Moe Hair interior was mint.
The old wife cried when I pulled the 38 out and threw a hose on it.
Two years later I worked all summer filming American Graffiti with George and the crew. George would have sold me that crappy yellow coupe for a $1 if I had asked.
Biggest $$$ mistake of my life.

Nice looking old Buick. Years ago in the mid 70's there was one like this for sale for $1200 near me. I was 14 and didn't have the $.

Very cool old car. Just shows you how well they were built and what engineering marvels were produced pre war.
Another outstanding video Chris! Great job on getting that gorgeous Buick running!
My Grandfather had one just before he passed. It was a masterpiece of automotive technology. Nice car. Glad I seen this vid, reminds me of him.

Great video, Chris. My uncle bought one of those and drove it from Idaho to Florida in 1951. His was a 1941 convertible. I was so cool. Starter was under the gas pedal. I believe GM called that suspension, "knee action"; not sure, maybe that's what we called it. LOL
GM did indeed call it Knee Action.
it's unbelievable how quickly and smoothly this machine from World War II started
We entered the war December 7th of 41, a couple of months after the 42s were introduced.
