Wow, this was a very nice time travel, Thank you Sir for sharing it.

Wood was fashionable but very impractical. So it sold. Later fake wood treatments were practical but not so fashionable. They also sold at a lower price. Cheers 🇨🇦

El faro trasero siempre me pareció muy lindo

Looking forward to future episodes Rick. You have a special knack of presenting cars. Infectious! Cheers 🇨🇦

I remember when old cars were dirt cheap. Now we call them vintage and want thousands for the old beaters. lol I am nostalgic, but I have not lost my mind, yet. lol

Any short wheelbase hearse I've ever seen was always an Olds or Pontiac. Very unusual I believe. They do look kinda awkward however!

Oh wow, very cool!!!!

Desert valley is too expensive, 25k for a shell,

60 thousand dollars. My God the inflation hurts through the video

Good video. Enjoyed the history of this iconic car.

NOTE - those older engines seemed low in HP but the important thing was they were high TORQUE to move such heavy cars.

I see what you did there…you purposely made the running time 3:08, nice 😉👍🏼

Very cool video !! During the last 25 years I have had 6 different examples in my garage, one at a time of course, and a blue on crema 308 GTB was one of them. The 1970's and 1980's generation of Ferrari's have a certain aspect to their driving character and soul, that the newer vehicles lack in spades (I have also had an F360 and an F460 so I am lucky to be speaking from first hand experience). Watching this video I can imagine Luigi, a burning cigarette hanging from the corner of his mouth after a wine filled lunch across the street in Maranello, dragging the front valance of "my" car across the factory floor to where it was hammered to fit onto the frame.

Gee, our old Lasalle, ran great. Those were the days.

Dude I know class and that's beautiful

Nice job, Rick! Wonderful, entertaining history lesson.

gee our old LaSalle ran great Those were the days

Interesting concept, but I can see why it would fail.

it never will be for me😢😢😢

I love him very much😢😢😢

😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢

my left ear really enjoyed this video

The Roaring Twenties and the Art Deco area was the most creative time period in industrial design and engineering. Most automobile inventions such as superchargers, turbos, front wheel drive, electric vehicles, V8, V12 and V16 engines, hydraulic brakes, synchro mesh transmissions, electric starter ect where invented during that exiting time. There used to be over 100 automobile companies in the US alone before the Great Depression in the 1930s began. I used to be into Cadillacs and still own a 61 Coupe deVille, but finding Chryslers and Imperials of the 20s and early 30s more interesting. Chrysler did a similar move as Cadillac did with the La Salle brand. Hence, the De Soto brand which lasted until 1961.

Absolutely fascinating. I always wondered about this make. Not sure how Archie Bunker good afford one. Well done!

it is the most beautiful car in the world😍😍😍😢😢😢

restore it 😢😢😢😢😢😢😢

My dream car😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢

I think this is an old vid. A GT base engine was the 302, but you could go all the way to a J code SCJ 429 with ram air, even in the convertible. These were great cars…final unibody Torino.

Please someone save the California special

You've gained another subscriber Rick. I just got out of the hospital, after having a mini stroke & it'll be weeks for me to recover. <<Mark in Ohio>>

Windsor! That car is overpriced!

They did make the 1970 Torino convertible with a 429 c.i. engine. Here's one of them: th-cam.com/video/jbvwMXnPgRU/w-d-xo.htmlsi=6lOH1w8Tb3no8Llj

You do a much better job at these than Mr. Hoover does. I'll leave it that. I believe you featured this one already, but here we go: That's not a rear "turn signal". That's only a marker light. The 351 CID V8 with four barrel was standard on the Torino Cobra in 1971. You could also of course get the 429 CID V8 in a 1971 Torino as well. If you're going to do the trim tag, do the VIN and go all the way, don't you say? We got the VIN, we win: 1 for 1971 model year, H for Lorain, OH assembly, 37 for Torino GT convertible, H for 351 CID V8 with two barrel, and the rest is the production sequence. The Lorain, OH plant operated from 1958 to 2005. We got the tag, we can brag: 76F for Torino GT convertible, M for White exterior paint, YW for White interior trim, 6 for 3.00:1 rear axle ratio, non-locking, W for C-4 automatic transmission and 62 for Houston, TX sales district. Not correct, just because the decal points to the Houston, TX sales district, that does not mean where it was sold necessarily. That is the sales district that placed the order for it. Dealer swaps (even then) happened all the time. A Marti report would tell you what dealer it was shipped to and even then, it could have been ordered by one dealership and actually sold by another in another area. My 1979 10th Anniversary Trans Am 400/4 speed is a good example. It was ordered and shipped to Liberty Pontiac-GMC in Randallstown, MD but actually sold by Brake Pontiac in Waynesboro, PA. I found that out when I tracked down the original owner of the car two years after I bought it. Turns out the original owner "motivated" the salesman to find a Pontiac 400 V8 equipped car (one of 1,817 made) with $500 in cash on top of the asking price to find one.

Silly thing I noticed is the 68 LeSabre parked right in front of the Torino 😂 I've been restoring one for a few years now in N PHX and now know where to go for some parts!

Then again can be 351 Windsor 🤷🏽🤷🏽

Thanks for making the video, looks like you read my book! LOL. The cars sent to the other western DSOs (and Canada, B6.,B7) were made after May. Another identifier for the GT/CS is the unique tail light harness. I knew Lee Grey, and met Lee Iacocca. Also, check out "Little Red" and the "Green Hornet" Shelby prototypes that influenced the GT/CS.

I wouldn't mind having that car I fixed worse

My dad had a high country special

Good job on the video! Sad to see this one there, hopefully someone will save it.

Thank you for talking for Steve.. God Bless you.

wow so informational
