In the Summer of 1963 Mom, Dad, Sis, Aunt and I piled into a brand new 1962 Impala SS convertible. Dad drove from Upstate NY to DisneyLand in California. Stopping along the way at The Grand Canyon, Vegas, SaltLake City, Jackson Yellowstone, Cody, and Mt. Rushmore. 2 weeks in a car with minimal motel stops was a blast. Now you got me wanting to pull out the old Super 8 home movies from that trip.😊😊😊
Try the Syracuse Nationals, if you want traffic, lines and heat. Around 8000 cars in the middle of July
Yes my old home town.
We did from Iowa to CA, pretty much same stops, in 1972. We were in a 1968 Plymouth convertible.
That does sound like a fun time and great memories
@@kshsghahah5631 mine ,too.
I've lived in homeless shelters ' live in a shit part of the Bronx ' in a shit 1 bedroom apartment and don't own a car at all. I live vicariously through You tube channels like DD SPEEDSHOP. THANK YOU DAN.
You brought a Leatherman, pliers and a fire extinguisher. You also brought Mur; he’s your ace in the hole.
We had all we needed haha
I was the guy with the silver and black 57 150 last year. You threw down the gauntlet to me the year prior to go, and I ran with it. I spent months prepping the car, and when I got my long haul plaque I’m not going to lie, I shed a tear. Not only was it a great experience, but my car did it without missing a beat… I was just so proud that I did it, but also that she did it, and did it well!! I will never forget that experience and hope to do it again one year !
You gotta test yourself every now and again. Awesome to see it on the road man!
In the 80's my parents took us young kids on a two week road trip every year when the school year ended. Basic Dodge van, not conversion, towing a Coleman popup and 70's Boy Scouts tents. We experienced all the wonders of the u.s.
That sounds like a fun time
Mur, you are spot on about California. You can be completely immersed in whatever you want or be completely removed from it all. Take that road trip.
i dont know about anyone else, but i love these podcast with mur!!!! HE IS THE FUN TO WATCH!, and his interaction with dan is priceless!!!!!
Dan and Mur's interaction makes me miss my Dad. Love and miss you, Pop!!
People expect Power Tour to be like some local little cruise-in...all rainbows and smiles. I never understood why people expect to breeze right in each venue and have a red carpet laid out for them, when there's 5000-6000 other cars all going to the exact same place. If people who've been on PT bitch about it, I don't know what they expect. Doesn't make sense to me.
Hell! People come from the other side of the world just for PT and you don't hear them bitching!
I hear ya.
Check your spark plugs for coolant on them. White smoke is coolant.
With the amount of knowledge Dan has about cars I'm pretty sure he is quite aware of this.
I'm thinking that his positive crank case tube behind the distributor is plugged up. That compression wil leak past the valve seals and force oil into the combustion chamo. Hence smoke during hard acceleration.
Starter alt fuel pump water pump an hei 4 pin pick up in the glove box . Small tool box . Ready for stress free road trip if you bring them you won't need them . If you don't you will need them . Funny how it works
I approve of both the topic and the Nomad. Always fun to watch shifting three speed on the column.
"Power Tour Sucks!" I pretty much have to agree. I went for the first time ever this year, all the way from Phoenix, AZ, in my 383/4 speed Chevy S-10. NO A/C. I knew I was going to roast. I didn't realize just how much. It was 110 degrees F on the day I left. I had an ice chest full of diet Mountain Dew on the seat beside me. I wore earplugs because the sound of my exhaust was really starting to get to me out on the open road. I have a tonneau cover over the bed, so I decided to sleep in the bed on an air mattress. Because of my custom exhaust and some modifications to the rear suspension, the spare tire no longer fit under the back, I have to carry it in the bed. I took it out and shoved it under the back of the truck. There was no air circulation in the bed with a cover on it, it was like being in an oven. I didn't really have any expectations, other than what I had seen on UA-cam. It was more crowded than I thought. In several places traffic was barely moving, so no air was coming in through the windows. Why did they have to pick the middle of summer for this? It would have been completely different if not for the heat. I don't think I have ever been more glad to get back home to my A/C. I got a shirt, hat, and sticker. The truck ran just fine. It did a lot better than I did. I won't be going back. Oh by the way, I'm 65 years old.
The 3M crimp heat shrink butt splices are the best overall connection. It will not fail due to a short and heating of the conductor. Solder will always heat and lose connection under these conditions. They are even approved for connections in Nuclear facility’s. Soldering is prohibited regardless of how it’s supported. It’s a solder sucker.
Happy Father’s Day to all! Buying from a garage sale and selling to Canadian Tire is no different than buying from a garage sale and selling it on Ebay! It is done every day your dad just thought of it first.
Good to see that you and your dad get along so well...i never got along with mine to good...he been passed 4 yrs now, we both shouldve tried harder,,,,great pod cast
Dan Dani Mur greetings I got to go on a road trip with my grandparents when I was 10 Yellowstone Mount Rushmore the desert all the great stops about 15 years ago my wife and 10 year old nephew did the same trip what awesome memories seeing it again through his eyes was even more fun Mike
Went on a family road trip in 2016 from the east coast to west. 7500 miles in two weeks. A LOT of driving daily. Saw a lot of sites, Grand Canyon, Mt Rushmore, Yellowstone, etc. We did it in a minivan, family of 5 doesn’t fit in my squarebody. We had a blast.
All about making memories
My family did road trips throughout my childhood. I continue that trend with my wife and kids and will continue to do it. Road trips are fun even with the headaches, lol.
I ended up with a giant smile on my face as Dan was turning off the camera - great ride y'all :)
you guys /girls are amazing, love the driving pod cast, I was all misty remembering all the trips I did with my dad in the last few yrs before his passing at 98, once a week we'd travel just like you guys through the village and reminisce do some reconnaissance and return 4 hrs later to moms err, dives with Dads are to cherished.
I lived in Vancouver, Burnaby, Kelowna, and Victoria. I am now living in Nanaimo and I love it here for the most part. Healthcare is overwhelmed here, but it's the best I can expect.
Well, Dan is the king of half-fast, or it'll do. I could say many things about his hotrods, but it won't change anything.
I had a 64 ford pickup with a 300 6cylinder motor. What I really liked about it was thec3 on the tree shifter. Such a joy to drive.
CA it is NOT what it use to be , Crime & Traffic Very BAD all over the state unfortunately.
Plus adding a performance exhaust the cops will go after you instead of criminals stealing from stores. They only go after the people who can pay fines. Plus their gas cans bite yo.
Yes Dan,
Dual cameras in the car cast …
In 1960, I rode all the way to California in the back window.Back ledge we used to call it my 2 brothers and sister slept on the seat and the floor in a 1950 something Desoto from michigan to California and back Mom and dad's seat would lean back So they could sleep.and we did not get any motels there or back.
It's nice to see the twin brothers together tooling around!
I had a blast the wait should be expected. 100% if your car overheats you have a problem fix it first or pick a different car.
Just did my first Power Tour. Lines were great for all the venues, actually, except for getting out of day 1 at Beech Bend. It was a great first experience!
Mur and Dan you are lucky to have such a good relationship. My father and I got along but that was about it we share any common likes.
My son has not spoken to me in almost 2 years over his mother and I divorcing 45 years ago.
Sorry to hear that man
Dani we love you!!!
We sure missed y’all on the tour. Hope y’all go next year.
Dan well done on the cars!! You’re pretty amazing!
Perhaps add transmission oil to pistons a let sit for a few days to see if the rings loosen up.
Best show ever
Thank you for this
Mur is national treasure and blessed you with his wisdom
give him a hug
Road tripping as a family and talking
Do it again you have a great idea
Sorry to say but Chevy guys don’t like hearing this but it probably need s valve stem seals Old Guy from PNW Spokane Valley Wa 99206
It would make good content if Dan put in new valve seals.
I've always wanted to go but 10mpg and my truck needs some serious over proofing to be able to do that drive and sustain the heat etc. You guys brought up lots of great points!
That right there, was the best show you guys ever did,,,
And tell Mur, when they go on their trip, if he's passing through WI, they have a place to stay...
Come see us in Humboldt Co. California. No crowds, drive the coast and through the Redwoods. Mid 60s in Summer. Just stay away from the big cities. What people don't realize is most of California is rural and beautiful.
Great Podcast Dan, Murr and Danielle! I loved it being in the 55 Nomad! Man, that is a NICE headliner, and the bows and mirror are beautiful. A black 57 Chevy with a red interior would be perfect for Murr!. Nice Father's Day gift too!
These chats are amazing! Thanks for sharing your time with us. God bless.
Great video! The Newmadd is in perfect condition for what you used it for in this video, toodling around town, looking cool, and driving it within its limits. Who cares about a little smoke, the engine is just well broken in! :>)
Mur’s wearing a Shelby shirt , good man
Come on Dan when I was a teenager I could get my 68 Biscayne to go through all gears up and down no clutch ever. Dad is spot.
Our neighbour and his wife had 7 children. He bought a 53 Chrysler. He took the whole family to church every week. What a boat that was! 🇨🇦
That headliner is absolutely beautiful
I used to live in Bay area in the198s then I discovered the Mendocino County Coast. And it's beautiful, no traffic, and I have an Ocean view everyday. You guys should definitely cruise the Coast Hwy 1!
Thanks for the Ride you guys enjoyed all of it
Soldapullt Desoldering Tool company, still makes new desoldering guns for around $40
Power Tour 2024 drove within 1/4 mile of my house between Nashville TN and Louisville KY. Lots of cool autos. 😎
Two years ago, I loaded my family into a 92 Lincoln town car limousine in northern Michigan hit avoid highway on the GPS and went all the way down to Southern Georgia and that limousine and we camped the whole way. I bought one hotel room on my way there that was one of the best trips I have ever been on.
That sounds epic!
You know the guy who has the garage sale every weekend, I never stop there.
I love your shop talking in a Nomad. Awesome as ever. Keep up the great work.
You need to put under dash ac in that car ! The kits are like 600.oo
Redwood Rally!! Power Tour on the coast and in the trees. Let's gooooooo
Spot on. If something on my car breaks, like, say, an alternator, I drive it home and drive another car to go pick one up. I don't work on the side of the road unless I have no choice. It sucks. Not only do you have a hard time getting to an auto part's store, but often you need to order the parts in. Having said all of that, I love to watch vice grip garage.
I have used Engine Restore for V8 engines. It worked great. Stopped the smoking. Used one can per oil change. Used in my Mazda GLC and it had 450K before dying.
After cramming on my build for 60 days straight my driveshaft builder let me down so i didnt make p.t. luckily this year you were able to transfer long hauler. Ive went several times and dont get the cry babies whining about it. Half of them were in modern cars with ac...
Put some water in a spray bottle, squirt down the yap, should loosen up those oil rings. Have car heated up. Maybe try some b12 if the water doesn't work
Good luck to ya. God bless d&d
Hi there! Man, we just LOVE these Monday chats with you 3! Just awesome.
And when you were talking about road trips it brought back such memories. We had the good fortune to road trip through all 50 states...our recommendations:
1) All through New England in the fall...no where else like it! We lived in that area for a while and went to and fro everywhere!
2) We did the Pacific Coast Highway from La Jolla to Canada,...totally awesome! If you ever do this, don't miss the redwood forest in northern CA and also a circuit of the Olympic Peninsula. Lots of other epic places along the way!
3)The Big Island of Hawaii...first thing we did after landing was rent a 4wd Jeep and we went everywhere...even places that we weren't supposed to. A circuit of the island is awesome...don't miss the volcanoes, Hilo, Waipio (sp?) Valley, and the top of Mauna Kea!!!
Lots more...there are just so many cool places and roads in the states. Along the way we did a lot of off-roading as well...mostly we drove a 2005 Sierra Z71. Still have it...going on 260k miles and runs like new.
Anyway...love y'all... God bless!
also check shifter tube ---three speed gm was know for that
I did the great American road trip in the summer of 21, bought a new Toyota Highlander and drove 5000 miles from Mississippi to Arizona/Utah with tons of stops in between. Saw the Grand Canyon, many of the great state parks, it’s called the grand circle road trip. It was awesome. 14days on the road.
You need to add some lead additive to your gasoline because your heads don't have hardened steel seats for the valves...
100% agree power tour has gotten way to overcrowded. The parking is ridiculous, the routes are too crowded, between PT and locals its a PIA. Prices are jacked up, restaurants are full, gas stations are full you wait too long just to get fuel.
We love powertour. It's one of those things where it needs to be big for it to continue every year. Takes a lot of money and manpower to put on an event like that! You just gotta expect a but if a hassle but that's okay!
I started doing small local shows for that reason...cruise out to a local show park on the show field walk around checking out cars and yacking with people,get something to eat, head back...if I get a hankerin for more action than that, Ill go to a test n tune...😁
I should be learning Español instead I am here watching this great family entertainment!
My 350 in my blazer would smoke and make blow by only under good load on the highway until I severely overheated it! That fixed it lol
Lol. Sometimes you've got to abuse them to get them in line.
I can remember sleeping in the parcel shelf, could imagine doing it now😂150kg 😂used to like travelling to relatives place's but that was only 600 km away, 😂 thanks for sharing, all the best to yous and your loved ones
I got my 1st car 57 Chevrolet for 50.00 drive it for years wish had it back had 6cly in it
Drove US 1 in a rented Camaro convertible.
Would do it again in a heartbeat
Good to know!
I've never owned an 80s car. Started legally driving in 1972 and I had a 61 Impala. I've had over 30 cars but no 80s. Latest 70s car was a 79 Mustang and earliest 90s car was a Cavalier wagon. My most travelled car was a 78 Monte Carlo bought new and a 70, Cadillac DeVille 4dr hardtop. My best car, 2000 Impala. My worst, 46 Willy's Jeep
I love the ride a long idea, hope you do it again, but like you said, with more cameras.
Mur, that soundslike an epic road trip! Ive been down most of Hwy 101. Its breath-taking! Hopefully not afraid of heights cause you woukd not alot of it on the Oregon side. Ive lived in Oregon basically my whole life
So much to see and do here!
I traveled all over the United States in an 18 wheeler with my best friend and her parents. Had the time of my life! 😊
i have a 64 chevelle nothing fancy but I swear every street person always smiles and waves. mabey seeing a old car takes them back to better times!
It's all about the adventure with the company you want around you.
My 74 Stingray was also the last year that didn't require catalytic converters, so as they are saying the early to mid 70s were really the death of "muscle cars" You could say they didn't really start making a come back until the mid 80s and that was really only the Gran National its peak being the 87 GNX for American cars of course I am excluding all the custom corvettes like Maco, Calloway, etc as they were made in such small numbers
I Don't know why people would complain. Its like any big gathering. Rock concerts and car races. As you always say It is what it is.
who woulda figured dan from dd speed shop shifting the 3 on the tree effortlessly? either you fixed the coloum linkage or mur learned u how to shift it on fathers day haha hi dani whats up?
Dan, you nailed it on California. I grew up and lived in Southern California for most of my life. Loved it…until it became crowded, traffic 24-7, high taxes, politics…. Absolutely a beautiful state and the best climate, but…
My wife and I now live near the beach in North Florida and we are in love with it. Yeah it gets hot here, but there’s a/c and the pool and we’re used to it now. Aside from the hotter weather, it’s all the best things California was in the 60’s and 70’s.
Man you're making me want a three on the tree again ! I'm out in BC and it's a great place.
Best episode yet. The 3 of you have the perfect chemistry.
I live in Northern California and can tell you that it is really nice on the coast between san francisco and los angeles. A lot less populated and the climate is wonderful. Try San Luis Obispo or pismo Beach. Great BBQ and wineries nearby
I remember Johnny Carson joking about those two towns.
When I was 3 we went from Mt. Home Idaho to Baltimore MD, in a brand new 59 Impala 4dr hardtop. When I was 5 we toured Morocco in a 55 Plymouth Savoy. We did it again when I was 6.
Just down the road in Hammett man that Morocco trip sounds like a blast
@@flightofarrow I have all the black and white pictures from those Morocco trips. My dad was stationed there from 1959 to 1962,when the King of Morocco kicked the USAF out of the country. Casablanca was the 1960 trip and Marrakech was the 1961 trip.
That sounds awesome
Dan if you set yourself up for success,You ll. have a great time even when you do you have the alternator that all of a sudden it goes bad. That maybe why somebody bring a new car to these power tours. My moto is when you go plan ahead and also try to help other that are less fortunate and try to have a good time Dan
Love the car cruise Keep these kinds coming.
Get the trans overdrive working , you'll love it. And a BIG asset on a power tour for MPG
Good morning from Cape Cod ⛵ Happy Father's Day Mur, kudos to you sir for having dealt with the likes of Dan 😂 little over an hour driving The nomad and nobody mentioned any smoke, is it possible you drove it out? Anyway this was very enjoyable tooling around you guys. Keep bringing the awesome content ✌️🇺🇲
I'm here in Tennessee went to California a couple months ago definitely could have done without that trip
I live in SoCal. After 10 years here I have never run out of things to do. 7 climate zones and so much always going on. No place like it beyond the great weather. Sure the Interstates have too much traffic but lots to enjoy. As the Eagles sang, “You can come but can never leave”
I have been everywhere. Columbia river valley in fall is beautiful. The 1 doesn't always hug the coast. I have a picture of me mooning the camera inside the drive through redwood tree. (Dilly kid) Redwood forest is well worth the time, fern valley.
Sounds amazing
Solder Sucker is still available on Amazon.
Ive aiways wanted to do the route 66 with no deadline on time. And do it in a proper hotrod big block 4 speed 55. Or a big block 66 or 67 chevelle
That was a great podcast thank you for sharing .it had laughs and insightful information.
Iam 70 and can't believe how much they are now
Great Talk About!!Ride Around!! 355- 15s recap snowtires my teenage 58 Bowtie wagon burnout specials. Why do we love 55 Nomads??? Wagon Guys😎?
Dan, I had the same issue with an engine I built. It turned out to be cracked head between push rods. Good luck!
Yeah im hoping for the best
Podcast, fantastic. Lots of good things to look at with the white smoke. You’ll figure it out. Cheers!! 😎
Thanks!
This was a gr8 format.. MOAR!!!
Just did the beginning of power tour (i was in town for the RedneckRumble) in my 4wd 62 impala wagon, camped and Q’d at the track gate.. had a fucking BLAST, and met a fella who gave me another 62 chev 🤷🏻♂️🤣🥳 #illbeback
Way to go!🎉
Wow, what a great Father's Day message at the end. I have 6 grown children and completely echo Mur's message about accepting our children for who they are.
Sounds like you're a smart man!
@@DDSpeedShop I try! If I was truly smart, I'd accrue a bevy of classic cars, get the internet to pay for a lot of it, and then cash them in for the Promised Land and a homestead! Well done Dan, well done. Very smart, and fun to watch!
Cruisin' with Mur ❣️
Peterson is nice, but yep LA's Golden Triangle for real estate profits.
