That 1934 Chrysler Airflow Custom "Waterfall" design grill is amazing to say the least! The1948 White's Labatt's Truck is a total work of art, my compliments to its owner!!!!
I remember seeing that Labatts Truck at the 1988 Worlds fair in Vancouver BC. The story about the restoration process is an epic tale of parts hunting before the internet existed.
What a pleasure to see this truck again . I was responsible for bringing this truck out of long term storage back in the early 2000s. I recall it running about 40 or 45 m.p.h. flat out....
It's a beautiful car. I did not know of a 2 door coupe version of the Chrysler Airflow. There was a deSoto based on the Airflow, with a six cylinder engine, and it could be had as a long wheelbase 4 door like the Chrysler, or as a shorter 2 door coupe.
Loved the '34 Airflow, and would love to see a whole video on this running vehicle. The '34 must have been one of the most audacious and innovative cars ever. Sympathetic and practical restoration.
THANKS, DENNIS ! Thank God for you and Jay Leno. Through you guys those of us who can only dream about great cars and trucks can fantasize about ownership as we watch you present these unique and beautiful vehicles. Of course, I'm a subscribed bell ringer.
i know Im asking randomly but does any of you know of a method to log back into an Instagram account?? I was stupid forgot my password. I would appreciate any assistance you can give me!
Great video Dennis. Thank you! I had never heard of this awesome car show before and I live in Canada (western). Beautiful cars, weather, estate, women, etc etc 😊
Beer and liquor advertising was prohibited in Ontario. Labatts created the streamlined truck as a mobile advertisement. They delivered Labatt beer all through the province, and especially showed up at fairs etc. Labatt had another public relations promotion. All drivers would stop and offer roadside assistance to any car they saw in distress. Change tires, etc This service was offered by all Labatt trucks, not just the streamliners. Drivers were rewarded by the company for doing this. I remember when I first saw this truck on the highway.
Worked on the 1948 White's Stream liner back in the very early 2000's outside of Toronto a Resto from its last resto 20 years earlier The only bad thing with the truck back then was the Bodyshop managment wanted to save money in labor And instead of stripping of the trailer panels And tighen them from flexing badly (cracking paint) The coated the trailer with pounds on pounds of Bondo Which in time would again need to be stripped down and fixed again The cab interior Looks like it has been restored since i seen it last with newer paint and emblems
Un très grand Merci de nous faire découvrir ces véhicules absolument magnifique: de somptueuses œuvres d'art, plaisir des yeux. Les mots qui nous viennent sont: Encore! Encore! Encore! Et toujours plus! Vœux très sincères pour une Année 2021 avec encore plus de découvertes et de plaisir à partager votre passion! Merci!
Great presentation. Wish that I had come across this video sooner. I live about an hour away from London. Unfortunately it looks like Mr Plunkett had his last Fleetwood Country Cruize-In event in 2019.
I love designs and works of art from back before the use of computers. Designing things for efficiency, or worse for profit takes the soul and beauty out of them. Humanity has passed through the "Best of Times", and is now racing down the incline of technology and profits. A world based and built on nothing but money.
A very big Thank you for making us discover these absolutely magnificent vehicles: sumptuous works of art, pleasure of the eyes. The words that come to us are: Again! Again! Again! And always more! Very sincere wishes for a Year 2021 with even more discoveries and pleasure in sharing your passion! Thank you!
I didn't know who Steve Plunkett,Linda Vaughn, Courtney Hansen or Gene Winfield were. So I had to spend time looking them up. You're welcome. Steve Plunkett was the lead singer/songwriter of rock band "Autograph".I stand corrected.Not the same guy. Linda Vaughn is an American motor racing personality who has been described as “The First Lady of Motorsports” and the “preeminent beauty queen of stock car racing.” Courtney Hansen is an actress and producer. Gene Winfield is an automotive customizer and fabricator. In the mid-1960s, a large body of his work appeared on screen. As well as in the 1982 film Blade Runner.
If that Laban truck is the last then it’s the one I saw many times at Expo86 in Vancouver. They just parked in the open. I have a photo somewhere of a buddy hanging off of it.
Is this for real, was this “ by the far the most loveliest truck I have ever seen, it’s like apart of life has pasted me by in history, wish these where still here, love it to the bone, one wishes to think that just maybe if these where still here that we maybe not have had such a terrible WW2 etc, something a bit more funny 😂, but no, yea this is the coolest trans port I have seen in my life, thank you 🙏,😎👍🇳🇿❤️🌈😎kiwi pip😎👍🇳🇿❤️🌈😎
11:37 If the tail lights wrapped around a little plus the reflector strip right across the boot, we have the rear view of an Aussie 1968 Holden Monaro GTS . A collectors car these days.
I love Dennis Gage's show but it's not long enough and we get to see a very limited amount of cars. If it were an hour long,that would be better. I love classic cars but I haven't had one since I sold my 64 Chevy Impala SS 327=300hsp. I have never restore one [I am 75] but I love to see this form of HISTORY. Shows like Dennis' are too few and far between.. Leno does a good job but many of his are big price cars. I love to see cars brought back from the graveyard and restored.😃😃😃😃😃
I believe that the two people that restored the Labatt truck were Joe and his. brother Bob Scott who owned the White Truck dealership in London. Friends of ours.
Man I would just love the Canadian car that was part Chevy and Pontiac and whatever was in it I don't know that they even existed but I did know of a few of the different America made vehicles went by different names because you had to buy a Mercury truck if you were a Ford man up there!
I've been to STEVE Plunkett's house!!! His dad helped invent birth control pill .. That's gotta contribute to his bank account a bit.. His house is 🥺🤤... W.O.W !!! He's a great man !!! Doesn't make you feel inconsistent , he treats you with RESPECT !!!
3:10 We need a separate segment on that truck and trailer. Like who made the sheet metal? What was the original drive train? Is the drive train still original? Details about the restoration.
The '65 Acadian Beaumont is not a Pontiac! It was sold in Pontiac dealerships and used Pontiac parts but nowhere is it labelled Pontiac. It's Acadian with maple leaf in the logo.
Merci à Bob de m'avoir fait parvenir le lien, j'ai revu mon ancien Pontiac 58 que je lui avais vendu, Je constate qu'il en prend grand soin car elle est toujours aussi belle.
My favorite show to watch on TV in the 90's when I stayed home sick from school. I've always hoped to bump into Dennis at some car show some day.
The amount of craftsmanship on display with that truck is just insane...

Dennis, what a show. Thanks for taking us along!
Labatt's Bleu Canadian Pilsner bottled is my favorite! The BEST! 😁🤠

The most beautiful truck I've ever seen! Ever!
A work of art
Back then designers took a lot of pride in their products. Even toasters were beautiful.
On the other hand.... it reminds me a Dr. Seuss book....
I'm glad someone took the effort to restore this.
Just LUV the 1934 Chrysler and with a Hemi! Respects to the owner/builder.

Wow. That beer truck is amazing. Thanks for saving it. I'll drink to that!
Absolutely the nicest beer truck in the world!!!
Loved the '34 Airflow, and would love to see a whole video on this running vehicle. The '34 must have been one of the most audacious and innovative cars ever. Sympathetic and practical restoration.
Years back my Uncle John Koch (Buck) was master brewer for Labatt's , Great old beer truck !!

I saw this rig at Edmonton LaBatts >25 years ago, beautiful unit.

Liked them all but the 34 Chrysler Air Flow was the coolest.
That La Batts truck looks positively seussical
Gene Winfield! I live near him and see him wander into the Riteaid every so often.
Well buy him a 🍺
Great presentation. Wish that I had come across this video sooner.
I live about an hour away from London. Unfortunately it looks like Mr Plunkett had his last Fleetwood Country Cruize-In event in 2019.
Covid must have cancelled the 2020 show. Let us hope for 2021.
GREAT SEEING THE CANADIAN CARS!

3:38 What a kool truck
I Love the 56 Mercury Montclair, I had a 55 Montclair two door hardtop for years

That is the most beautiful truck I have ever seen
It blew me away!
Классная выставка ретроавтомобилей.Особенно плавучие понравились!!
I didn't know who Steve Plunkett,Linda Vaughn, Courtney Hansen or Gene Winfield were.
So I had to spend time looking them up.
You're welcome.
Steve Plunkett was the lead singer/songwriter of rock band "Autograph".I stand corrected.Not the same guy.
Linda Vaughn is an American motor racing personality who has been described as “The First Lady of Motorsports” and the “preeminent beauty queen of stock car racing.”
Courtney Hansen is an actress and producer.
Gene Winfield is an automotive customizer and fabricator. In the mid-1960s, a large body of his work appeared on screen.
As well as in the 1982 film Blade Runner.
Not the same Steve Plunkett, but you are correct on the other ones.
@@MyClassicCarTV :Ok.Thanks.
Love the Acadian !!!
My dead alcoholic grandfather and I thank you for That wonderful beer truck Reality sucks doesn't it
That labatts truck is super awesome!
Totally!
Sure hopes this show goes in 2021 I’m only 11 hours south from you. Looks like a ton of fun.
The name Parisienne did eventually come to the US as a Pontiac version of the Chevrolet Caprice. That Parisienne I would love to have right now.
All this lovely car's
Thank you 💝❤️❤️
If the guy that hosts this event is not one of the world’s richest men, I bet he’s very close. Nice little place he got there. 💰💰💰💰🤣😂
Who needs Clydesdale's when you've got a head turning Beer Wagon like that. As the young'uns say...its SICK!
Far out, man!
Way cool
That Truck is Beauty incarnate !!
Cool restoration!
That’s an amazing truck but what really blows my mind is how he was able to find a truck with the trailer
If that Laban truck is the last then it’s the one I saw many times at Expo86 in Vancouver. They just parked in the open. I have a photo somewhere of a buddy hanging off of it.
The Labatt's truck looks like it was designed by Dr. Seuss!
These car is so cool
Great show as always
This was at London Ontario, that's what just a few kms away from my home town of Toronto Ontario.
Just wonderful
looks like dr seus vehicles crazy !!!

Good job steve
I believe I may have seen that beer truck at Expo 86 in Vancouver
Amazing life cars and fun times.
I believe that the two people that restored the Labatt truck were Joe and his. brother Bob Scott who owned the White Truck dealership in London. Friends of ours.
I know that Labbatt truck, I saw that truck last year in downtown Toronto, I think they were filming a movie or TV show using the truck.
Какой приятный ламповый душевный канал.
👍
Ща вам напишут что вы не потреот и лучше в мире это наша Лада приора от Рено 🤘🧐😅😅😅😅
@@coldlight9776 ну, да. Пойду перед Зенкевичем челом бить. 🤣
Very nice truck.
It sure is!
5:25 “it’s hard to get pictures cuz people just walk in..”
3 dudes just walk in. 😂
👍👍👍👍 Very cool !!!!!!!!
I saw the LaBatts beer truck in person 35 years ago. Back in the day it was illegal to advertise beer. They designed the truck as a rolling billboard
Unbelievably cool. Sad they'd never do something like this today bc of poor function if trailer size
Man I would just love the Canadian car that was part Chevy and Pontiac and whatever was in it I don't know that they even existed but I did know of a few of the different America made vehicles went by different names because you had to buy a Mercury truck if you were a Ford man up there!
You could buy either Ford or Mercury trucks. Both were available.
I've been to STEVE Plunkett's house!!! His dad helped invent birth control pill .. That's gotta contribute to his bank account a bit.. His house is 🥺🤤... W.O.W !!! He's a great man !!! Doesn't make you feel inconsistent , he treats you with RESPECT !!!
Steve's a really good guy!
Dennis,we saw you years ago at the car show in Parksville on Vancouver island 🇨🇦 Hope you’re well 🇨🇦
That was Buck Rogers' weekend vehicle.
Sure it wasn’t Dr Seuss’
This Labbatts truck or same one like it was on display in Vancouver BC at Expo 86,saw it there then as a teenager
Man,good times were had back then,I don’t remember seeing that truck but it was 35 years ago now, 😁 crazy how fast time flies.
3:10 We need a separate segment on that truck and trailer. Like who made the sheet metal? What was the original drive train? Is the drive train still original? Details about the restoration.
I drove by this !!!
Amazing!!!
will never understand why they stopped making cars this way. the classics are waaaaay nicer then most of what you get today
I miss my 56 Montclair
I cruise with...no...stereo... my 440 is my music
That is awesome!
Both of those Labbat's trucks were completely restored by Joe Scott and then donated back to Labbat's.
I've seen this truck. Labatt had several of these trucks.
Magnifique salom
I used to have one of those
wow impressive gathering
the truck came to eldridge pope brewery , dorchester uk in the 90 s !
Wow I like the 2 engine blue chip
Only dr seuss would design a truck like that
That truck and trailer are awesome. Too bad the beer is still terrible.
The '65 Acadian Beaumont is not a Pontiac! It was sold in Pontiac dealerships and used Pontiac parts but nowhere is it labelled Pontiac. It's Acadian with maple leaf in the logo.
I clicked here cuz that truck is in my book nice to hard cover
Looks like you met your moustache match from the owner of the Airflow Custom!
thanks..
70K cars?! That's nuts!
Looks more like an LSD delivery truck than a beer truck.
Wow!!
Merci à Bob de m'avoir fait parvenir le lien, j'ai revu mon ancien Pontiac 58 que je lui avais vendu, Je constate qu'il en prend grand soin car elle est toujours aussi belle.
Damn I thought he might track down Courtney Hansen...
I reupholstered the interior
Nice work!
@@MyClassicCarTV thanks man use to do all Vic carpenters work. superior sale boats work can find on u tube
Dennis: Do you drive this or is it a show car ? No dennis , it's a show car . Don't look at it ........
I can sense the tension between Dennis and the man with the Airflow. Did they end up having a mustache duel, or no?
Love that hes going to drive Airflow that and not make it a Car Show car to just sit in a garage
