Will it Run? Episode 11: 1950 Chevrolet Fleetline (Part1 of 2)

- Hi!
This is the latest installation in our series on salvaging junk cars and trying to get them to run, for no really good reason. This time our subject is a 1950 Chevrolet Fleetline Deluxe, parked since 1966! Parts of the engine are missing, and so are the seats. The budget for repairs is about $20, as usual. We'll trade our junker pickup for the missing parts. I traded a couple of dead Mercs for this Chev because I thought it should be saved, and not parted out. Join us for a tour of Coyote Auto Salvage as we find the missing parts and take our new treasure home. In part 2, see if we can get it to go, and look a little better, too. Re-uploaded due to steady-cam feature malfunction.
Thanks for checking it out!
Man I love this grainy ass 2010s low budget video quality, it's really nostalgic to see :)
Besides the copious amount of humor, I appreciate how well you guys know the cars you show us. Going thru the junk yards there are very few you get wrong or can’t identify, yet you weren’t around when they were on the road.
Oh! Thanks for saying so; it helps that I've been obsessed with "car spotting" since I was a kid! Cheers from us here...
I like when you walk through the junkyard you see all these different cars end pickups and to bring something back to life is awesome thank you for the video
And another great car is saved! I love it and I loved to hear: "I love tbe smell of black mold in the morning"! God bless you guys!
It's cool the way the junkyard owner opened up more and more and had more fun as the tour went on.
Just found your videos. Great stuff, keep saving these old cars. I had a 52 Styleline 2 door that i sold in 1984 and bought back in 2003. Pretty far gone, but my nephew thinks he can make a gasser out of it.
How cool is this video,I love it!!!!Wish I was there.
It's so cute to watch men do men things and get excited about fixing up these old cars. It was funny when they were looking in their "shopping cart" at the separate fuel pump, starter, etc.
+WachdByBigBrother - Ha ha, Yes it made Me laugh too/ all that.
They don't know how funny they are. I don't even know if they're even Trying to Be that funny ! -but I reckon it's gotta be a real asset in life, hasn't it ?! = ) She's a Runner !
It is great to see a video of men acting like men, doing what guys do, no little kids running around getting in the way.
Coyote looks like a great place to shop!
A couple Mazda rotary wagons, a pair of Datsun 510s, late 60's Toyota Corona coupe, Isuzu Bellette, early Toyota Crown and some Celica STs; lots of cool stuff! I wish I could buy it all!
it is nice just to see gear heads turning wrenches just because it is an awesome piece of machinery. Too many shows these days just take the frame and throw $30k at it with a whole team of pro's. These guys remind em if me and a few friends just wrenching on the weekend
I love these videos finding old cars and getting them started! That's the life
Love the push broom holding up the hood!!!!
You dudes are a riot. You would make a great reality tv show. The only problem is they would figure out a way to ruin things. You cannot imagine how I have guffawed watching your YT clips. Besides that, the nostalgia is tremendous.
+marcomalo02 Thank-you very much for saying so! Nice to hear from other nostalgia-junkies...
Watching this video from 2021. This must have been well before I discovered CWM.
I Love the old Dodge Egg Beater starter sound. Ja na na na na na na na na Na Na na na ...
Never saw a car that looks better than that!
I love your video, guys! I'm thrilled that you chose that Fleetline. Four door body styles like this have been ignored for years. The great thing about 4 doors is that if your buddies decide they're too scared to ride with you, they have a way out. I, too, have one of these, but it's an Olds. One year body for them. I bought it to save it. It's something you just don't see anymore. I really, really want to send you a pic. Anyway, guys. Great job. Like nothing I've seen before!
Hey, thanks for checking it out! Love your model junkyards, and all of the amazing realistic junker models you do!
You have a good eye, it has a complete motor, rolls well, and that looks to be mostly surface rust... well.
every time I wander out to do a bit of work and it's cold (by Southern California standards) I think of you hard ass loonies doing good work in temperatures that'd make Santa Claus cry.
Good on ya fellas. Keep these episodes coming.
More communal iron. Tom says "I'm the only one older than this one here."
What a find! The torpedo shape looks great,
Clayton one smart kool dude😊
Clayton knows every vehicle he has inside and out.
Clayton prefers to trade for other cars rather than sell them, but mostly he keeps them and sells parts to collectors. Thanks for watching!
Great find!
That was a great rescue! That's a cool car!
I can smell the old grease and oil and the dusty upholstery from here in OZ. Love the shape of it. I would love to see it done right up but I understand the aim of the game is to just get it running.
I really dig the sign Dude...........lol
awesome video.. good to see Clayton on video..went to school with him back in the day!
Hey, thanks for checking it out... Yeah, Clayton is good stuff. I always enjoy a chance to visit and kick the tires with him... Cheers!
+coldwarmotors
thanks.. I subscribed and like your video's.. keep them coming.. enjoy them!
Hey thanks for subscribing! More on the way!
Thanks! We had a lot of fun with this one. Next episode coming soon!
haha ! that was koOl, it works by push button. . . if the buttons don't work, you push.. . also the tires wouldn't be bad if you could teach it to tiptoe
You guys are GREAT
Keep on doing the car Lords work. Love it!
I think you men are on to something. Great idea for a video series and nicely done.
One does not need good reason to salvage junk vintage cars. It's best to have a lack of it, just press on and remain calm during the rehab.
That would be heaven for me.
Well done ....
20 seconds in I Subscribed...
Half the people in Sask were conceived in the back seat of that Fleetline :)
Maybe when I when the mega ultra lottery some day, I'll have to have a resto-mod Fleetline built. One that drives like a Chevy SS, but looks like the Fleetline! Maybe have to get those Icon guys to do it.
Very nice old Chevy.
Hey, thanks! I'm glad you liked it. We had fun doing it, too.
Like a half dead puppy coming back to life
Nice. Always like the fastback 50 chevs.
Yes, all the mechanical parts for these cars are available without any trouble. Many body and trim parts are also available new. Some parts can only be found used, but these cars are not rare.
Clayton's collection is really something! Thanks for watching!
What is this magical place?!!! I could live here!
cool old place..my local junkyards has 80s and 90s and 2000s only
Hey! When you and your agents going to put down the aluminum and the darts and finish the 1960 Ply,Fury
I’m getting weary waiting on the completion of said vehicle ....I’d come up and help but! I don’t think my battery
would last that long on my power chair....👀👍🏿
*random observation*
I wonder if anyone besides me thinks Scott looked a bit like Pat DiNizio (Smithereens -
RIP Pat) in those days?
Heck, even Tom looks a bit more youthful in this. Ah, the permanence of the YT!
- Ed on the Ridge
I love the 51 Chevy. But as Dad tells me that the kize4 might be the next one up 😋
Seems perfectly logical to me.
very entertaining video
the paint for all those was a mixture of left over army navy paint from WWII
Coyote Auto Salvage is located near Tofield, Alberta, Canada.
That's a big car😮
Classic car.
That coupe you took all the parts off wasn't a Fleetline but it WAS pretty "kool". The body on it looked pretty solid ------------ at least on the side we could see. ;o)
+Pappa Bob Yes; good eye... I may go back for the coupe, actually... Cheers from me and Stel.
+coldwarmotors I think I would if you still have access. Hope it happens!!
Tokes too😊
best video ever
its a much better car then the modern shite so thats why.
Schweet project car, that '50 Fleetline!
I’m here in 2023, is Clayton still with us and if so is he still in business?
im in love with this junk... live rusty die rusty
That cars lucky that it is being saved
Clayton looks and sounds like Rodney Dangerfield. I keep waiting for him to say..."Hey I can't get no respect".
1941 Canada 25 Cents George VI Silver Canadian Coin D3728

US $47.77
Approximately C $59.18
Must be in BC Canada. Nobody else "takes a boo".
+robert nickel 'berta
you have the coolest voice
I have noticed a continuing component in you excellent videos is that you folks are always working with these old relics dealing with ice and snow. Do you live north of the arctic circle LOL?
+heffo and juff Hi! We live near Edmonton, Alberta... and yeah, it snows from October til April and often May, so there's no really good way to avoid it! Cheers.
bravo !!!!
Does it ever get warm up there? Sheeeesh!
Is the price in USD or CAND ??
Since you found a George 6th in the front seat,you probably are from Canada ?
Anyway, excellent .You make my frog 's day !
Canadian dollars
Oh my god is that young dean in this video?
Why are you using a toy camera. Great video
Take the rer bumper that is in good shape.
Are you in Canada ? Surely, tho it's pretty cold in the winter there, you must have more intact scrap yards, farm collections etc, than in the US -where they've had that shockingly OUTRAGEOUS 'cash 4 clunkers' law in effect for a while now ?
MungoidHen Yeah, I've been wondering how much old stuff is left. More here than a lot of places, I suppose... Still some open spaces and old farmsteads with room to put a few cars off in the corner... You're right; the "Cash for Clunkers" scam will be remembered as one of the most horrific wastes of resources ever perpetrated on an increasingly complacent and misled public. You can't beat the system, but you can refuse to take part. Buy old cars and fix them up and stick it to the man, haha. Cheers from us here at CWMC.
coldwarmotors COOL =) Thanks CWMC
***** Interesting comment...
$1549 is what the 1950 Chev Deluxe cost when it was new.
small gold mind for some people
filmed in 1080p(otatoe)
hmmm i know their not you're cup of tea per say but if he done a bulk deal they'd be going to ireland then onwards towards norway/poland )
1980-1986 Ford pickup i believe
Sitting in a junkyard since 1966 and the motor isn't frozen?? The oil would be fossilized by now.
My neighbor is digging out his 50 Chev, 2 door coupe.
Many years ago swapped out the 6 for a 327, and the three in the tree for a 4 speed, but it uses the original clutch fork.
Hasn't been on the road in about 20 years and he is putting in a 350, but the same bell housing, clutch and fork and but the spring for the fork is broke and he is trying to find a replacement.
Also his under the floor boards brake master cylinder.
Do you have a local, or do you have a got to parts guy for the older stuff?
He found a $5.95 unit out of Utah, but the 45 dollar shipping fee scared him off, so we are trying to something this side of the border.
P.S. This was the first Cold War Motors video I watched. A couple years ago now.
I used to daily a 53 Chevy 210. I got a replacement master cylinder through Napa, wasn't cheap, like $250. That was 20 years ago though
rip my eyes
love my 57 Chevy bill allen
this is awesome, when was it filmed?
Oh! I think it was probably 5 years ago?
John Powell Could anyone tell me what the car is at 2:54 that looks like a Buick Riviera? As for the Chevy and all your other cars, I'm green with envy. Cool dog too!
1976 Pontiac Grand Prix
What was the year on that Alberta plate you held in your hand (10:40). You covered up the last two digits with your digits. KnowwhutImeanVern?
+Marshall Curtis Hi! I think it was a 1970 plate?
I like t his c hannel which I found at t he corvette ben channel and it was wort h it...chuck :)
No way cool i live in high river I thought u guys were from Ontario
I'm pretty sure he does. You can reach Coyote Auto Salvage at (780) 662-2403. They are located near Tofield, Alberta.
How long ago was this im restoring a 1950 fastback deluxe(4door)and sure could use parts
'Too bad it's a 4-door...
does he still have the chevy fleetline tht you guys took the back seat out of
Answer appears to be "no" ...?
I'm trying to find a car like that to restore I can't find any where I'm living they're hard to find
DOES HE STILL HAVE ANY OF THE 50s chevy coupes or fleetlines tht he would sell
