Would love to visit and see this car in person someday

I think that is the first time I've seen acetylene lamps in use even on film. Not good but much better than nothing!

Ahhhrooogah!

I’d have a beer with that dude 🤙 bet he has some dope stories.

I'm born in a wrong generation 😢

Beautiful machine!

Very cool...so mind-blowing how much technology has advanced in the past 100ish years. A lot has changed, that's for sure.

in 1914 there were still horses and wagons on the streets going 3 mph

I would have crashed into the very first tree outside my garage in this dim light.

How do we use pass light?

Thank you for sharing us the history.

Does it have high beam?

Engineering at its finest

2:20 Amazing, engine sounds like a sewing machine at slow idle.

In a survival situation. Emp etc. These cars would be perfect especially if you could get those engines to run off of Wood gas.

I like your old Chevy! Very cool. And the lights shine a good distance ahead of car especially considering the speeds your driving it.

Sounds real nice

I wish someone would make a head to head comparison video of Acetylene vs the 6 volt tungsten vs 12 volt tungsten vs halogen. I remember how big that last improvement was but when I see acetylene lights in action they look as good as the old 6v tungstens to me.

amazing how bright that is, some of the top dollar brass lamps have a lighthouse style git up, solid silver, 1" thick curved lenses, really light it up nice and bright, dual orifice tips, super super bright, some of the lamps they had for ships back then are just unreal how bright they are, the huge spot lamps, 3/4-1 mile range, 3ft diameter .. even the 18" are just crazy bright . . .

it's not very good but it's not very bad either but it's a really nice car 👍

AWESOME car, with even more awesome headlights! ❤

lucky, Thanks for the video, nice to see the good lights for once.

This is one of those things where it's impressive enough that they work - it's doubly impressive that they actually provide a useful amount of light. At least if you're driving very very carefully.

No modern day light can beat this in terms of feeling what you get during preparation . Just amazing maybe modern day lights are more convenient , but that convenience have no match for this carbide lamp because the best part part is the preparation itself .just lov3 it😊😊😊😊❤❤❤

Nice

super

Sweet ride!

Wish i had a baby like yours

Those cars seem way too crude for even the time period they were produced. Generators, batteries, dc lights and all forms of electricity was pretty much mastered by the time that car was made. An electric starter, lights and a generator should have been standard components on cars by 1914, you would reasonably assume anyway

Hello! Thanks for the interesting video! I would like to use a short part of your video in my film about the lighting system of old soviet tractors. Can I do it? A link to your video will be required! Thank you!

This old technology is new to me...

Cadillac got electric start in 1912, Buick in 1914.

Man. The coolest thing ever

lots of good meat on the road !!! 🙂

Next stop, horse wagon night drive

Your video fulfill my curiosity and amazement..but why not use the mantel style lighting like in Coleman?

That’s amazing, thanks for posting!

The light thrown off by these things is no joke. It is on the order of the light from a hundred-watt bulb! Just yesterday I sold an antique on eBay I have had for years. It is a carbide headlight on a fork that is part of a frame that holds a Presto-Lite tank and a wood handle. It was made to either bolt on a fender of a truck or motorcycle, and was also at the same time a hand-portable light! It makes a serious amount of light! I hated to sell it, but I am getting old and I don't want to just die with all my antiques!

Way brighter than I expected wow

This would really come in handy in the event of EMP, a vehicle with 0 electronics, I always wondered how would the head light problem be addressed without electricity, and here it is!

Legend.. included combustion chamber,quiet high tech

My 57 vw lights weren't much better

Today people are so lazy there will be a lot of cars with no headlights on driving at night.

That's a beautiful piece of machinery

sounds like it’s got a rod knock but ik it doesn’t

You want to blink your light . You should fart in the pipe 🤣

Bright lights.

What a sweet car. Sure beat walking back in 1914 and today too. Thanks for making this.

The last time it was started, Laura Ingalls Wilder was still alive, and Elvis Presley was 21 years old! 😳

Do you have to put a hazardous materials placard on that car😂
