    That's not a Car -- It's a work of Art!💕

    I guess 13 years ago they didn't know how to show the interior of vehicles. Would have been cool to see.
    My grandfather was 8 when this was made and my son is the same age now. The car still looks futuristic.

      the interior was a disaster so we decided not to show it as there wasn't anything to see

    Beautiful ! The Fageol ( Twin Coach ) Company made beautiful streamlined buses too ! From 1946 - 1952 . GOD bless you !

    The Fageol Supersonic is still around, and was in 2009 owned by Robert DeMars. In 2009 Robert loaned the car out to the Automobile Driving Museum in El Segundo, California. By then the propane power plant and original chassis were gone. Sometime after the 1953 featured story the innovative power-plant was changed out in favor of a Twin Coach six cylinder bus engine.

  • @carsonridge8978
    @carsonridge8978 3 роки тому

    A lovely car. Yes, this one really needs to be restored.
    The only question is in what form should the restoration take?
    Original or after it was converted to the street.

    I know I'm being harsh, but these "rest-modders" will hack and defile anything. They often have zero sense of history. Nice save!

    im guess this car doesntturn very well because of the wheel cover on the front and it doesnt look like there is alot of space between the wheel and the cover

    Doesn't take 1/2 million to restore anything, just a lot of work and the very basic of tools and supplies. I did a motorbike all the way through last summer, its just a lot of patient work, nothing more. Nothing requires gold plating or diamond studding. Best to just do it as a hobby and take your time enjoying doing it.

    WTF would take $500,000 to restore on this car? It looks like maybe 60-and-out to me, and that's if the interior is s**t. They're going to take the body off-frame, yes, but it's HUDSON running gear, for Crissakes, nothing unique.

    • @guardian08527
      @guardian08527 8 років тому +3

      I watched one of Jay Leno's Duesenberg videos and he said one guy was $300,000 in the hole JUST on some engine work and I thought that price was insane!!! Sounds like a lot of over inflated budget bullshit but the restoration shops know they can get it!
