There will never be another era like the 50s Hot Rods and Rock and roll. If I could go back in time it would definitely be the 50s the age of innocence. Well so it seemed!
Dude, we need to establish something: this is THE most underrated channel on UA-cam! Your editing and camera work is as fine as most big-budget Hollywood flicks, and your choices for music fits these cars you highlight to a tee. I really wish more people in our age (millennial, Gen Z) understood how bitchin’ classic cars are, but I guess that saves more rods for those of us who do get it. Regardless, keep up the good work!
Beautiful coupe. As a little note of interest, I don't know how popular a Shifano was but he did the interior, top and the tonneau on the Dean Lowe Roadster Pickup which was built in '59/60. The quality of that interior shows through as it has survived incredibly well. It has been owned by a good friend for the last 23 years so I have had the honour of seeing the quality workmanship up close.
Amazing story. Love the old hot rods more than anything else. When I was a teenager in the 60's I used to dream about California and all things like this.
I totally back you on your production and interest in the automotive world. More so your age and mine being similar while you love classic America much as I do! Glad to see this!
Oh man I am so jealous,you are so correct in assuming it's a professional build ,very obvious from the work and degree of detail especially for the era it is out of.I think you are going to have a few surprises as you find the history of that rod.Your a very lucky fella great luck in the restoration of the car.
Really happy to hear you're gonna keep it as original as possible. That is an incredible piece of hot rod history you have there. Maybe someday I'll get that lucky and find me a gem like such 🤣
FYI electric fuel pumps were common in the 50’s, often easiest way if no clearance for a mechanical pump. I had a Bendix electrical pump mounted in the trunk of my ‘47 Ford coupe, flathead with 3 97’s in ‘56, later with Cadillac later with Olds 324 - same pump. Pump was hard piped to block on firewall, hoses to carbs made swaps easier. Nice find. Wonder where my ‘47 is today - only had 12,000 miles on it when I sold it in ‘59.
I keep looking at this car, in fact it really hit me in the thumbnail so I clicked it. I'm not 100% sure, I seem to remember seeing this in either old an issue of R&C, from the late '50s or I used to have a book called "Grease Machines" published in 1978 that featured photos of customs from so. cal during the late '50s and early '60s. there's a group photo on one page that has a chopped and sectioned '32 5 window (obviously not your car...) and there were other '32's on the same page.for some reason the blue paint, the motor, and interior really rang a bell. the other '32s were 3 windows like yours I remember that. I know that's not much, but I hope it's a bit of a help.
The other thing, (and I didn't even notice until I watched this a couple times) the car I remember seeing pics of had a white rolled and pleated insert where the canvas top would be, and this one has it. it's been a long time since I've seen the pics, since I lost most of my old car literature stuff, but I also seem to remember it had Olds Fiesta caps on it. I do hope this kinda helps.
Just looked through Grease Machines and it's not in there, only one rod and that's a Hemi powered '32 Victoria with the roof cut off. Guess you're thinking of a copy of RnC...
I meet Troy in Tennessee and he is a super nice guy! He is so talented. I'd love to go to California and hang out at his shop with him for a while to learn from him!
My ‘59 Austin Healy Sprite came stock with an electric fuel pump. Lots of the other foreign sports cars had them too. Man you must have paid an arm and a leg for that Duece! Everything out there seems to cost twice what it does on the other coast!
Just seen this video! Kwwp the car man! Itll forever have its history! Would benice to have it a generation pass along vehicle. And this reminds me of the movie American Grafitti! Awesome! 🔥🔥🎶🎶
That car may have been in some early HotRod magazine issues. Back then, that color would have been mind blowing. Fantastic car, I am very impressed. I do hope it stays just as it is.
I was born in 57 ..growing up in the 60s was great.. I have pictures of a 31 Ford w/ a inline flathead 6 with twin carbs that mom and dad dated in ..they would use it to tow what mom referred to as a "rail job" a frame with a seat and a flat head 6 to the drag strip.
The Holy Grail of hot rods! Far cooler than a '32 roadster, in my opinion! Those things are like belly buttons these days, with so many reproductions! But it doesn't get much better than a real-deal Deuce 3-window running a '39 Ford trans-shifter Olds! I'm 73 and have lusted after that combo all my life. A Caddy in there with a Cad-Lasalle top shifter would also be perfect! I'm very glad you're going to just clean, service and drive this car! Last of all, as you're lucky enough to have become the caretaker of this piece of history, you should show respect for the original owner/builder by not using the front end as a chair, and keep your butt on the seat and your feet on the pedals where they belong. I'm sure they'd appreciate it! Great find!
I'm glad he made this video to share with us, I like the fact he's going to refurbish it and not restore it just enough to show the way they used to build them. Everything about the car even the for sale sign. Display that car at a history car musiaun with the story.
Great video guys.... Paul anka and Santos and Johnny really sets the mood for this rare show rod..... songs that you would of heard on the am radio... Cruising this gem in 1959/60 in so cal. Got to say though... The car looks familiar... not magazine familiar though.. I swear I saw a pic of this from Larry Watson before he passed away awhile back.... I pretty sure he had nothing to do with it.... But possibly a renegades car???... Just a thought
electric fuel pumps were often used because ford flatheads were bad about vapor locking. the factory located the fuel pump on top of the engine, at the back , so in the summer they were bad about vapor locking. i remember my dad and i pushing his brand new 1951 ford hardtop, down mockingbird lane in Dallas,Texas on a hot sept. day. he was mad.
Man, what a find! And it's not even the story of a single car! That '32 is amazing, though, an absolute museum to hot rodding, untouched, in the late '50s and early '60s. Glad you were able to get hold of it and appreciate it for the unique piece of speed history that it is!
Good editing! I know there were a lot of hours of shooting that got tossed out. Cool angles, good moving camera shots for some drama and interest. You moved the car around a lot to get various angles and good lighting. Lots of hard work!
TV Guy here: Four Speed, consider moving talent closer to the camera with car framed bg. That way (cam mic) audio is tighter. I have talent look at "the interviewer" off camera left while they are framed on the right. With car bg it makes a nice triangle. All else positive. And you are in the right town...😂 cheers
I wonder if somewhere in Pat Ganahl's archives, there is a picture (or pictures) of this back in the day. Too bad we have lost Pat, one of the greatest historians of vintage and lost Hot Rods and Customs.

We out here in the Centennial State.
Parker Janelle Wish you were out of California!
If you’re ever up here give me a buzz.

Don’t chop it, restore it to 60’s condition and keep it. It will make a great story
This car couldn't have gone to a better person! This video gave me goose bumps.
Tony Amarillas Thanks for watching!

WOW what a beautiful time capsule!!!! Definitely something to be preserved!!!!!!
OMG! It Lives! Definitely remember seeing it in an older issue of Hot Rod or R&C...Another One Saved!
Amazing story. Love the old hot rods more than anything else. When I was a teenager in the 60's I used to dream about California and all things like this.

America has the coolest cars, and best finds, ( I live in England )
Such an amazing find. Really nice camera work
America: Bumper to Bumper Thanks man, I appreciate it!

You did a great job on the film, caught all the back story and hit all the visual highlights. Good stuff!
TomHaroldArt Thanks man, it was the first time I did something like this
Good editing! I know there were a lot of hours of shooting that got tossed out. Cool angles, good moving camera shots for some drama and interest. You moved the car around a lot to get various angles and good lighting. Lots of hard work!
TomHaroldArt Very few people understand what it takes to make a video. Thanks for the positive feedback!
Sitting on that front fender makes me nerve wracking
Aaron Vidal I know right😂
That original steel is thick, tough stuff.
Matt Kustom Kostumes That’s true
TV Guy here: Four Speed, consider moving talent closer to the camera with car framed bg. That way (cam mic) audio is tighter. I have talent look at "the interviewer" off camera left while they are framed on the right. With car bg it makes a nice triangle. All else positive. And you are in the right town...😂 cheers
i agree im feeling sick to my stomack
Love that patina 'ed ice blue paint job. Don't repaint it just buff it out.
maybe this one has been in hotrod magazine ,worth to check it out
Great video work
Thanks!
Holy shit a 1934 Edsel Ford 😍😳
That '32 is a chariot of the gods!
Beautiful.
If you drive it the Banjo will break. Maybe have a 8/9” contingency ready. 🙏
I wonder if somewhere in Pat Ganahl's archives, there is a picture (or pictures) of this back in the day. Too bad we have lost Pat, one of the greatest historians of vintage and lost Hot Rods and Customs.
Love the music
Thanks!
Wow!
Pretty neat
