    Forever the optimist with this channel, it never fails to disappoint me with its ridiculous descriptions of cars made 70 years ago as not being able to compare with modern cars

    The Hudson Pacemaker is BOXY?! Not streamlined like other cars of the 50s?! A design that is a relic of the past??? Wow, this commentator is most undoubtedly high...

    Saying that the Hudson was underpowered and barely able to keep up with 50s traffic and then showing it on the racetrack is at best confusing.

    Watching the video of the Hudson, it seems to show what a great handling car it was and with the Hornet package, it was a performer also. I didn't like the video effects trying to make it look like old film, with modern cars in the background.

  • @dennislink7957
    @dennislink7957 2 місяці тому +3

    The Crowley was designed to be a compact economy car. It was never supposed to be a performance car. There were very few high speed highways in 1950. 50 mph was about as fast as you could legally go.

    Another nonsense video!
    I could refute nearly all the comments about all the vehicles you have chosen, BUT,
    I'll stick to the Studebaker Scottsman.
    This car arrived at a time when many folks in the US were still cash strapped and trying to put their lives back together after WWII.
    My dad, a WWII vet was able to get enough $ together to get one of these new. It ran great, was reliable, and went everywhere it was pointed without issue for the six years we owned it.
    As kids we did not need a radio we would just sing!
    And your comment on power windows - you must be under 30! Power windows were unusual even in the Caddys and Lincolns of that time!
    Studebakers, Packards, Hudsons, Ramblers were very good cars that were produced by underfunded inovative small independent companies under constant attack from the Big 3 which was then coupled with the recession of 1958 that had a serious negative effect on the entire industry but on the indies in particular.
    I drove Studebaker products (a pickup and a Lark Cruiser) until 2004, (yes 2004!) when someone offered to trade me straight - my Stude truck for a brand new Ford PU. Should have kept the Stude truck!

    You are so wrong and uninformed regarding the 1954 Mercury. I bought one in 1959 as a high-school sophomore in in Southern California, took it to Okinawa for 4 years then drove it from California to Michigan pulling a 14 ft travel tailer then sold it in 1966. Other than a little rust gathered in salt laden Okinawa, it only ever required normal maintenance. The car had no AC yet the clear roof did not make the interior too hot nor cause glare. If needed, there was a cloth head liner which stowed rolled up in a grove at the rear of the roof glass and could be unrolled and zipped in place to cover the glass underside. All in all a gorgeous and robust auto. It's flaw was that it was too expensive. They are very appreciated these days...just check out the 30k plus good examples bring.

    Are you kidding in 1952 about the only popular cars that had power steering and power brakes were Cadillacs. The difference between a 210 and a Bel Aire was very minimal and that was basically upholstery and two tone paint. Showing a Nash sedan and then a street rodded Nash Cross country is bizarre to say the least. The cross country was kept in Nash’s lineup for several years. All of the cars except the Cross country were built and marketed as entry level economy models and then were knocked for it. The only reason Ibwatch this nonsense is to see just how dumb some people can be about cars.
