Another awesome museum! Some seriously drool-worthy cars in that place. The public spirited Mr. Hubnut does the right thing! Idiots on the road, everywhere you go in the world. Could've ended so much worse and I think it was the right time for the police to become involved. Ian, you Sir are a good egg!
The mechanical gate on the Rolls brought back some memories! When I was a kid, the playground closest to my home had one of the coolest things in the world, a real 1920s fire engine! It had been put there in the late 50s or early 60s I think and survived into the 1990s, although with more and more parts either disappearing or being welded into place. The gear lever was gone by the time I played there but the mechanical gate was there until the end. The handbrake lever survived too but it was welded into position to prevent injury. One thing that did move right until the end was the steering wheel, although it didn't do anything, just turned freely. The happy memories! Supposedly it was restored to driving condition, so that's actually a good thing, but no one seems to know where it's kept. I think now there's a wooden replica with two steering wheels to keep the kids from squabbling :-)
The Car collection was marvellous the owner was not afraid to buck the trends and actually buy cars that he enjoyed and not follow the norm good times indeed Alan👍
A lot of those white coloured rocks you walked on were pushed up by the huge 7.8 earthquake in November 2016. The power of nature! The road and railway were destroyed and closed for 13 months. Great vid. Get to Nelson at some stage if you can and see the WOW Museum. Hundreds of cars on display. All owned by one of Nelsons wealthiest men!
The part on the Cadillac wipers you referred to as a brake is actually a track to keep the wiper arm, which is on a pivot, at the correct angle as it traveled around the wraparound windshield. The range of the wipers are from the base of the windshield in the center of the car to the base of the windshield on the side of the car. I had a 1960 coupe and they worked surprisingly well as they pushed the water completely off the front of the windshield and around to the side, past the door and the tail fin to collect behind the rear bumper where it would start corrosion that eventually caused your taillight assembly to fall out and hang by it’s wires. Good times.
Mr. Hubnut, you're a man after my own heart: you move down the line of these beautiful old behemoths and only stop at the hot red Corvette long enough to note how the wipers work. I hope to have a tea with you one of these days!
Agree on the Coupe de Ville, bloddy marvelous looking. As for the Mustang, I drove a 66 back in late winter in 85. Not much road feel to be honest and part of the trip was over a mountain with snowy roads. Summer tires in front, studded winter tires in the rear, no heat, didn't idle, brakes needed pumping, didn't brake in straight line, my teeth chattered like hell from the cold but I was 19 and drove a 66 Mustang with a 289 and four on the floor. Awesome times.
Richard Irvine Next time on HubNut... Ian is challenged by an angry spider in his Falcon... Ian has a cup of tea and a cream Horn.... Ian wakes up naked in a telephone box after being abducted on a dark road by non-terrestrials, with an intrusive buzzing device, three days previous. “All of the Travis Walton Times” says Ian...
Me too. Not just the interesting cars, the level headedness, calm and delivery; these videos are a welcome distraction from all the bs going on in the world.
Heart skipped a beat when i saw the Edsel Citation! Beautiful! As a kid in the 90s I was obsessed with these and joined the Edsel Owners Club of Great Britain, I even named my Hamster Edsel! While at school one day a couple from the other end of the country knocked at the Door asking to see my Edsel and my mum showed them upstairs to my Hamster cage 🤣🤣 They were not amused...
One Studebaker pickup truck is rare here in their homeland USA. Two is incredible. My Dad had a 1938 Studebaker from after WW2 to about 1954. Was a good car, cars were hard to get after the War and very expensive.
I have to say I absolutely love that coffin Nosed Cord. What an absolutely Beauty of a car. If I suddenly became rich I honestly would love one. 1939 and you had pop up headlights and front wheel Drive. That is a car like no other truly amazing 👍
I am looking forward to your drive of a Peugeot 404. In my teens we had a small fleet of 404 sedans, estates and pickups. Terrific vehicles, superb column change.
Just saw you're in my home land and still here. Welcome. If you get to Nelson, you should check out the WOW museum. They have a nice car collection there. Well worth a visit. '
Well done Ian. You did right. You knew something was wrong from the outset. Didn't get directly involved in a 'domestic situation' but called in the Police and as a bonus you have given the UK some bonus points with the NZ Police I reckon
Thanks for the tour. Lovely museum . The Art Deco dashboards are a thing of beauty ,so nice to see. Glad you pulled off the road when you did & called the police 👌
Cord 812, Edsel, Studabaker Champ, Coupe deVille, Mustang, E Type, 74 Corvette and that astonishing Rolls Royce Silver Ghost. Saw a Rolls Silver Ghost like that in the Fiat Museum in Turin. Now there's a place you'd love Ian. However, this New Zealand trip continues to get better and better. Thank you Hubnut and glad to see you having some caravan luxury. What hotel could possibly compare?
The Oxford caravans were made in Oxford street south Levin. My brothers father in Law was one of the people who built them. He built one for himself before he retired. He was a real craftsman and the finish was superb.
That whole area around Kaikōura got trashed by the 2016 earthquake, the sea floor south of an East-West fault line got moved up 1 meter. Sewerage plant destroyed, all roads into the town blocked, The main road you drove on (and it's parallel rail line) were buckled, broken, and buried under thousands of tons of dirt and rock. Took a few months to bodge together roads that were passable with 4WD vehicles.
Attenborough who claimed some beast were dying because of climatechange, it happened because the old fart was too close those beasts commited suicide. If Mr.Hubnut had announced himself those seals who are actually Russian spies I am told by the BBC would have done some tricks, they didn't know Mr.Hubnut was famous.
When I was last in Kaikura there were a number roadside caravans selling crayfish/lobsters. You selected one from an oil barrel filled with water, it was cooked in front of you, then served up in a wrap of newspaper. One of the best meals I have ever had.
Quick thinking to pull over. Good that you are OK. Be careful we have bad drivers in Australia too. I have driven in most states. Doing under speed limit is rammed down our throats in Oz. So some drivers think as long as they are not speeding they are being safe (and stop thinking). I found driving in Old Blighty with British drivers much better, and safer. Stay safe and enjoy your well earned break:)
4:06 I was about to say that all that restructuring is from the earthquake. That land never used to be there. Incredible eh? In fact the road through to kaikoura is relatively new. Other info... Kaikoura means seafood, specifically crab or lobster. Kai is food, koura is shellfish.
It doesn't sound like you're a Mustang fan, but even though they were introduced mid model year in 1964 they were all titled as '65. However, they made some significant changes in calendar year '65 that caused collectors to refer to the earliest ones as '64 1/2. For one thing they switched from a generator to an alternator and the V8 models grew from 260 to 289 c.i.
I have always love those old cars with the running boards, big front mudguards and headlamps since I was a kid and my favourite car (never owned :-( ) a 1930's Bentley like Steed's car, blower or not. That Studebaker is the bee's knees, the interior looked as big as the caravan that you were staying in. The coffin noses look like Dick Tracy or original Batman cars.
For the benefit(...?) of your city-dwelling fans Ian, a "long-drop" toilet is pretty much what it says on the tin (or the can, if you like). There's a pedestal, a seat (optional) and a large, deep (and hopefully dark) hole. Some are self-composting (usually residential, you throw earth, sand, straw in to help the composting process); most of the public ones are "serviced" and emptied out. 21:43 - that's life on the road for you, you never know what odd vignettes are next. Providing it's just bent metal and a bruised ego, carry on down the road.
Dicky seat? Rumble Seat in the US... La Sabre in "American", la say-burr... Later Vectras were made in Springhill, TN as well. Remember seeing right hand drive ones on trucks heading to the port back in the 80's and early 90's! No one builds cars there now... Love the Studebakers!
Hopefully no innocents were hurt in the crash those two idiots had. Anyway a nice collection of cars there and I learned something, I was never aware that Cord's are front wheel drive.
A man goes into a seaside town garage with his car leaking oil. Whilst waiting for the diagnosis he went and bought an ice cream. Afterwards he went back to see what horrors the mechanic had found. "Looks like you've blown a seal" said the mechanic. "No, it's just ice cream" said the man.
These days they act unlawfully as they are supposed to wait for a gap in the traffic and not just step out and stop the traffic flow but some people , put a uniform on them and it goes to their head. Traffic Wardens are a prime example of that, failed Policemen.
@@colinp2238 The sixth form of my school back in the late 60s/early 70s used supply the lollipop patrol for the nearby primary school, and my class bully went into the police...
It was such a nice relaxing video with the stunning scenery and the little museum and then those two idiots. It is furtunate nobody was hurt and thankfully you were safe and sound in the big Ford. Cheers.
The first Mustang I drove was a 64, Six cylinder with 3 speed manual gear box. It looked good but the cars economy car chassis let it down. Hit any kind of bump in a corner and the live rear axle skipped around. Basically a Ford Falcon in pretty clothes.
The Edsel wasn't a midsized car, it was a mid level brand, meant to be positioned above Ford but below Mercury in level of luxury. That's a Corsair, which was one of their larger models. The Ranger and Pacer were the smaller (relatively speaking) models.
Thanks for these videos showing the amazing beauty of New Zealand, interesting cars, etc. I have a request please Ian - if during your antipodean adventure, you have the opportunity to test drive a Daihatsu Pyzar (Grand Move) that would be something I'd love to see. I regard the Pyzar as a highly desirable car, and if there were only more of them in the UK I would buy one in a heartbeat. I hope your journey continues to be enjoyable and fun for you, as it is for us guys seeing your odyssey unfolding..!
@@Pfirtzer If your sole aim is to attract women by the car you drive (which mine is not) then I guess maybe a Jaguar DBS or Lamborghini might do the job. Usually driven by people who's size of genitalia is in inverse proportion to the supposed 'pulling power' of their car. If, on the other hand you want a mechanically simple, comfortable estate car for going to gigs with PA, electric piano, drum kit, etc, or for everyday use in transporting tools and sometimes piano actions around, then it fits the bill rather well. I have always found that women are attracted by my personality and musicianship, rather than by whatever vehicle I might drive. In other words, women who are not shallow bimbos. Capish?
seals are just the labador of the seas cute big things that eat almost anything and are mostly seen sleeping, should have put a hubnut sticker in the museum, might of been fun, also nice cars all mostly non hubnut but still nice,
I have a memory from many years ago of a magazine article about driving the Cord which commented on the preselector gearbox being rather brutal. The next edition had a follow-up saying it had been pointed out that it was a conventional gearshift with a servo mechanism not a preselector and using [it] as one was abusing the interlock that stopped you changing gear unless the clutch was depressed, so no wonder it was abrupt.
@@HubNut A bit more has been dredged up from my memory - there was a comment about being scared a gear would come through the front of the gearbox. Still can't remember what mag it was in.
What a collection of cars, so varied. It looks like the old Silver Ghost might have had it's share of Bridal work in it's day. Love the two old Studebaker's, the model names of that era were really cool. I know the top 2 model names were President and Dictator. But really check out the Dagneys on that Coupe Deville. Another Great one.
Wonder where you filmed that little car museum... could be almost anywhere ... there are car collections all over the country... and vintage tractors,,, trucks....
16:39 The Edsel was actually billed as a "Mid Priced" full-size car, stuck in there with brands like Mercury, Oldsmobile, and Chrysler (the Chrysler-branded cars were slotted above Dodge and below imperial, in the U.S. market). Large Edsels (there were 2 wheelbases) were produced in various U.S. plants including one in Sommerville, MA, which has since been converted into the Assembly Square Markeplace shopping mall. One irony about the Edsel project was that the mid-priced market segment was already in decline, leaving an open question about whether models between the bread-and-butter models and brands like Cadillac and Lincoln should even exist; many of the then current mid-priced makes were remnants from corporate takeovers in earlier years. To this day, Mercury, Oldmobile and Pontiac have all disappeared, though Chrysler and Buick are still going .
Hi Ian,you only been there for a few days and it's all kicking off, LOL,that museum with all the cars were awesome.the caravan with the nice scenery was epic.
That last segment reminds me of the tale of Road Dreams by Elliot Bristow. He went to USA on a fortnights holiday, witnessed a shooting and was compelled to stay in USA for 12 years. He shot lots of cine film whilst there which eventually was spliced together to make a TV show.
On the cadillac wipers the bit you refer to as some form of brake, I think you will find they are a cam track that is meant to lift the wiper blades up and over the screen surround for parking ,the track is now in the wron position as are the wiper blades for parked position.
The 39 Stude looks to have an Australian Sloper body.The Caddy's also had perspex horns which would blow the cold air over the heads of the passengers.
Just goes to show even in a paradise people still fallout, think you should be made an honouree kiwi or at least a brown owl 😂., great video Ian ,enjoy your few days off and RELAX.
Last year returning from Scotland in our campervan on the M6 we witnessed a chap punching the hell out a woman. He was all over they motorway. Beautiful collection of cars.👍
That blue Stang was delightful! Glad Elizabeth didn't get rear-ended, that would have been a nasty business. Poor guy prob had enough of his wife's back seat driving and finally cracked!
Well done Ian good hindsight letting the nutter past..pheww that could have turned out different, well done mate. Video was brilliant as always. Take care Ian.
Another superb video. The views are breath taking & fantastic to see. The car collections you have visited are unexpected and varied in their content. Superb to see and look forward to next video
Sounds like you pulled over to let the arguing couple past at just the right time!
Robert - DL3RR maybe they crashed trying to see why Ian pulled over! LOL!
First thing I do when I see someone driving erratically - get out of their way by any possible method.
Another awesome museum! Some seriously drool-worthy cars in that place.
The public spirited Mr. Hubnut does the right thing! Idiots on the road, everywhere you go in the world. Could've ended so much worse and I think it was the right time for the police to become involved. Ian, you Sir are a good egg!

@@HubNut A bit more has been dredged up from my memory - there was a comment about being scared a gear would come through the front of the gearbox. Still can't remember what mag it was in.
Looks stunning, glad you’re having a good time and sharing 😎 museum was wonderful too 👍🏼
What a collection of cars, so varied. It looks like the old Silver Ghost might have had it's share of Bridal work in it's day.
Love the two old Studebaker's, the model names of that era were really cool. I know the top 2 model names were President and Dictator.
But really check out the Dagneys on that Coupe Deville.
Another Great one.
Wonder where you filmed that little car museum... could be almost anywhere ... there are car collections all over the country... and vintage tractors,,, trucks....
The Cadillac dashboard looks like it's off Rod Taylor's time machine.
Ahhhh the good old 1st gear whine of an AU Falcon BTR transmission
David attenborough does hubnut!!😂👍
Excellent video! Well, even including the drama at the end! :-)
But yes, please relax! Have a good break! :-)
16:39 The Edsel was actually billed as a "Mid Priced" full-size car, stuck in there with brands like Mercury, Oldsmobile, and Chrysler (the Chrysler-branded cars were slotted above Dodge and below imperial, in the U.S. market). Large Edsels (there were 2 wheelbases) were produced in various U.S. plants including one in Sommerville, MA, which has since been converted into the Assembly Square Markeplace shopping mall. One irony about the Edsel project was that the mid-priced market segment was already in decline, leaving an open question about whether models between the bread-and-butter models and brands like Cadillac and Lincoln should even exist; many of the then current mid-priced makes were remnants from corporate takeovers in earlier years. To this day, Mercury, Oldmobile and Pontiac have all disappeared, though Chrysler and Buick are still going .
Enjoying your vids. Bringing back a lot of memories from 2009, 2011.
7:20 Look how tidy the garage is! Lol :-)
21:30 -My nomination for quote of the year.
Fantastic private car museum! Day slightly blighted with the police incident lol
Hi Ian,you only been there for a few days and it's all kicking off, LOL,that museum with all the cars were awesome.the caravan with the nice scenery was epic.
Hi Ian. If I watch the ad's, do you make money! Or should I just skip them?
I'm an honest man. I have no idea.
That last segment reminds me of the tale of Road Dreams by Elliot Bristow. He went to USA on a fortnights holiday, witnessed a shooting and was compelled to stay in USA for 12 years. He shot lots of cine film whilst there which eventually was spliced together to make a TV show.
Americans love love big cars and big trucks and SUVs
On the cadillac wipers the bit you refer to as some form of brake, I think you will find they are a cam track that is meant to lift the wiper blades up and over the screen surround for parking ,the track is now in the wron position as are the wiper blades for parked position.
Some really beautiful cars, I agree, the coupe deville shouldn't be restored too much.
As you started pulling over I thought the car behind would've hit you
Another great video Ian. I feel like I'm on holiday with you! NZ is definitely on my bucket list now.
The 39 Stude looks to have an Australian Sloper body.The Caddy's also had perspex horns which would blow the cold air over the heads of the passengers.
awesome Edsel Citation convertible, very rare.
Just goes to show even in a paradise people still fallout, think you should be made an honouree kiwi or at least a brown owl 😂., great video Ian ,enjoy your few days off and RELAX.
Last year returning from Scotland in our campervan on the M6 we witnessed a chap punching the hell out a woman. He was all over they motorway. Beautiful collection of cars.👍
That blue Stang was delightful! Glad Elizabeth didn't get rear-ended, that would have been a nasty business. Poor guy prob had enough of his wife's back seat driving and finally cracked!
Well done Ian good hindsight letting the nutter past..pheww that could have turned out different, well done mate.
Video was brilliant as always.
Take care Ian.
Another superb video. The views are breath taking & fantastic to see. The car collections you have visited are unexpected and varied in their content. Superb to see and look forward to next video
18:12 This might be the Mustang Wilson Pickett bought for "Sally"! All together now, 1, 2, 3.... Mustang Sally, gotta slow your mustang down.....!
Don't let it wreck your trip Hubnut.
The road down the coast to Kaikoura is all new. It got destroyed in an earthquake in 2011
11:38 This Studebaker could be called a "Henry The 8th" car.... Two Door(Tudor)! LOL
I bet the woman in the car behind wanted to pull you over for your autograph ian and the man was having none of it lol.
Great video.(:-)
Haa nice one I thought I was the only person ever in the wrong place at the wrong time
