- On this episode we get the Hot Rods ready for a local cruise in and meet up with our buddies. We then travel north to check out a junkyard with some classics buried inside. We didn't have much luck at the junkyard but on the way home we stumbled upon one mans personal collection and end up bringing home a sweet 1955 four door.

That ladies enthusiasm deserves two thumbs up, especially the look she gave, when asked if she wanted an automatic.
She’s a keeper for certain
@@patdesrosiers6423 not meaning to insult. I'm a true die hard Mopar guy, since I started building my "57 D100 in the early 80's. Pretty much all I drove were Mopars. But the enthusiasm. I'm at the age, I don't care, two door, four door. Post or hard top. But seeing a women excited for a project car. That's over the top. Enjoy your project.
"... lets pick out a project for you" 98% of us grow ups woulda loved to have heard that from our Dads! respect, Dave! 🇺🇸🇺🇸💯
Open that drivers door 20 more times for no reason
Dave the Tri-Five finder! Quoting, Always stop, Always turn around, Always call!
Keep teaching that boy how to wrench! We need to make sure and show this new generation how to build not by there hotrods 💪🏼
Once upon a time, I USED to snub 4 doors. I've learned to like them as I've gotten older. This 55 is a beauty!! Great find!!👍
yep..i'd rather have a 2 door, but it's a 4 door, and it's fine...and please leave the 4 doors a 4 door..none of that 4-door-to 2-door conversion cr*p, at least not the butchery with piecing together door parts to fill the void and putting in plexiglass rear quarter windows that don't even roll down...if your going to do it at all, at least have a 2 door VIN(body change), a set of proper 2 door doors, and a donor car to get the proper rear quarter window parts and structure from..better yet, just leave it a 4 door..I remember back in the day, a common thing people did with tri-five 4 doors was to shorten it, cut it behind the front doors and weld the rear end on after removing the section behind the front doors to the rear window...a "shorty"...yuck...what a butchery mess, looked much better as a 4 door...
I dont think the vin tells you number of doors. Only 6or v8 and belair and coupe or hard top. But i maybe wrong
Still cant stomach a four door on a tri 5 .. ...however, i DO like the fourdoor flattops of 59,60, GM's with the giant fishbowl rear glass!..those are pretty cool ( i actually bought a four door flattop 60 belar ) 🤣
@@filthbomb I agree with you about the 4 door "flat tops" on the '59-'60..the were 4 door hardtops(pillarless)..looked FAR better than the 4 door sedans with all their framing and the extra little quarter windows...and yes, the tri-five 4 door sedans look "framey" as well as the 59-60's...again, the '56-'57 4 door(pillarless) hardtops look FAR better than the 4 door sedans with all that framework..unfortunately, they didn't make a factory 4 door hardtop in '55..has less to do with how many doors there are, really, than it has to do with all that thick, vertical framework that upsets the flowing lines of the styling..actually, I am not that fond of a 2-door sedan in the tri-fives, or the '59-'60 for the same reasons..plus, the roof and windshield are "taller" on the sedans, both 2 door and 4 door. Interestingly, the unique one-year only styling of the '58 suited the sedans much better...less framework, and it worked with the styling better. Back to this '55, I would still leave it a 4 door rather than butcher it up making it something that it is not...
My family had a 1955 210 4 door in blue with a white top from 1981-85. It became my first car in the summer of 1983 when I got my license. Mine had a 6 cylinder with a 3 speed manual.
Great to see you getting your son interested in the Automotive hobby, nice job, dad😀🇺🇸
I hope they keep that car all original!!😍💗💗
When I got out of the army 1976 I bought a 55 Chev 4 door, 6 with a three speed, same color and everything.... bought it from a school teacher for $250 drove it for about 4 years.
Seen these for years. I live 20 minutes north of this location. If you know, you know without giving the location away 👌
"you want a standard or automatic" Standard of course, she replies! Yeah, she's a keeper.
❤ they sure don't last long in the woods ❤
That 4-door will make a nice family hauler and it's so complete! Great find.
I was drawn to the 55 in Cadillac and Chevy's that 1 year said a lot to me as a young kid..and it never changed for me it has been a constant thru my life and all of the car shows that I have been to in my 62 years....55 is the 1 year.....that is like a magnet.....I can't get enough of the 55
The fact that the door open and close soo nice and the window work blow me away!
KEEP THE 3 on the tree!!! Adjust it right and bang shift like nobody’s business! Would take some major mods to work with truck 3 speed. That trans won’t take hp. But who needs to row around town in a classic when the column shift drives so good? They’ve never been sexy but work real good when setup with the right amount of slop.
You could make them cool!
You can't always get what you want but if you try sometime well you might find you get what you need
Three on the tree is the best to me. Ad and overdrive and have some tri five fun .... Thank you
Little Man Rules
Gotta love a car that’s nice enough you don’t need to send years restoring but rough enough you don’t worry about driving it. That ‘55 is perfect.
Great find in a complete 4dr. The truck will be cool. You should air bag it so you can drop it with no ramps😊
Love the young gearhead.
So cool to see you bringing your kid along with you! That is how you keep the hobby going!
So how'd you get into cars?
"Well may dad always had..."
Ima grown man but I get all excited like your son when I go inside a good junk yard it's like a toy store to me 😂😂😂 that 55 4 door is sweet great find 👍😎
Small block chevy with a five speed would make it a nice highway cruiser, windows down, probably get mileage in the 20s at 65mph.
I can't wait to see what you do with the soon to be ramp truck!.. Keep us posted, please!!
Will do!
I hate seeing cars burried in the woods like that and rotting.
The golf cart makes sense as a project. Cheap, easy and practical to work on, as a kid.
That C50 is clean.
David, I had no idea you had a channel I will be watching .
That 55 is a heck of a score. So complete and solid. Also love the energy and passion your boy already has for the hobby. Great to see that.
Dave I can see the little guy being just like Dad. That road in front of your house will never not have a coat of rubber on it once he turns 16. Awesome content man!!!
You should see our driveway 😂
I'll see if I can dig up an old Kraco.8 track....
@@12VoltDave I need a front clip for a 68 c10
I'm about to take delivery of my Grandfathers 57 4 door 210 post. Almost the same color scheme you have there. Mine needs some love and attention too but, im right there with you on feeling that stoke. what a fun family project!
Green 6 cylinder Chevy, my favorite
Thankfully I'm older & wiser...instead of being a bit jealous of you guys I'm super happy to see you guys living the dream & stumbling upon serious gems. I'm thinking I'm seriously fortunate to have found your videos to see your dream gems.
Keep on keeping on Dave & Co. Gunna make me smile all day.
PLEASE !!! Don't Bling It Up.. ( let it be a 4 door ) :)
Agree, drivetrain upgrades and keep everything else original
What a gorgeous patina machine ! Love it
08:06 DAVE! If they're not bent or cracked, I WANT THOSE WHEELS! The 8 lug slotted mags
He wouldn’t sell any wheels
@@12VoltDave tell him Dickie was the same with cars..
Maybe he'll change his mind.
Awesome old 55' four-door! I had one almost identical to it when I was 15 years old... that's been a day or two ago. Great score on the C-50! Big block and a blower?
Ha no it will get a diesel
NICE LITTLE 4 DOOR
Great find on the 55.
C 50 is cool too.
Nice C50. Glad you grabbed that and look forward to seeing you getting that back on the road. That '55 Wesley's wife bought is sweet.
Happy Wife, Happy Life!
Going to make amazing ramp truck🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤
Someone really loved that 55 back in the day. Prolly alot of family memories. Now a new family of memories. Awesome
Outstanding finds, glad the right people got these! Thanks for doing these videos Dave.
I have a 55 Bel-Air with the original 265 and cast iron Power glide . 4-door. It gets a lot of looks. It has a Rideteck Street Grip suspension and front disc brakes.
Nice score on the 55.
And David nice score on the C 50.
That's one heck of a 4 door 55. It's hard to find them like that. I'm building a 55 4 door 210 for my wife on my channel but trying to finish my hardtop first. I sure would like to go on a junkyard crawl with you sometime. I'm trifive to the bone
So good to see your son following your passion for saving old cars ....I've been in the panel and paint industry for 30yrs in Australia....I wish I had kept all my old cars .....I would of bought that 55 4 door straight away...
Happy to see you had a good time at the yard.
Or at least a time. Sorry nothing got bought.
NGL, I got a smile on my face when I saw that sunbird vert. Thats something you never see on the roads anymore
Hey Dave, Great find on the 55. Also, the truck. I know the 55 is in good hands, not to mention the 68 truck. Can't wait for the follow up on both. You can always give Dan from DD Speed Shop a call to convert the 55 from a four door to a two door.
Love your channel and videos. Take care and be safe.
awesome score for the lady
That 55 is really nice ! I’d love to build a tri-five gasser
Awesome car!! Great finds!!!
Good call on the wheels for the F1.
The sound at 20:25, when she closed the drivers door. PERFECTION
Words I didn't expect to hear, " room temp yoohoo ".
Awesome find on the 55 I believe I wouldn't do what needs to be done and get that 6 cylinder running and drive it !! Great video and keep up the great job GOD BLESS
In 74 I bought a garaged 55 2dr post delray 6 cly stick, owner drove only to work & back. Was editor of home town paper. In garage behind paper office at work in garage at home. Only saw sunlight maybe one hour a day. Still kick my self for ever selling it. Sold after got married to friend said he never touch it. He sold it to a druggy who quickly cut out rear quarters then head on to a tree. Cars like people can have a wonderful life until the wrong person gets involved.
Omg David, what a beautiful 55 chevy I love everything about the old girl!!! I can't wait to see what you do with your new 68 c50 car hauller!!!! Keep up all the great work
Thanks
Mike
That 55 and the C50 are really clean. Good find. Not many of either one left around that’s in such good condition. Thanks for sharing. 👍
All those oil change stickers on the doorjamb tells you a bunch right there. Someone, at one point in time really loved that car. If it could talk. Found a hotel receipt for a place in Bogota, Columbia in the glovebox of my 56 210 Sedan when I bought it. Same license plate number and car color then, as now, as shown on the reciept. A drug runner 56 chevy??, maybe. Also found a Air Force Id card from Malmstrom Missile Wing Montana in the glovebox. At one point in time, my car went from Bogota, Columbia to The Pac Northwest.
Look like a mouse house was falling out the tailpipe on the 55 as it was going up the ramp on the trailer lol! What a score that 55 is totally awesome being all original and nothing has been messed with. What a classic if it was mine I would put a 327 in it with some camel hump heads and a muncie 4 spd and drive the living crap out of that thing.
The 55 4 door is a sweet find - thing is MINT. I love the color. I'd daily the health out of that thing. Wouldn't you love to drive that to church on Sunday? three peddles, it wants a muncie! That C50 is a ramp truck waiting to be completed :) So glad you snagged it. Thought y'all were gonna leave with the 55 after looking at it. Please tell me y'all got those frames.
Cool 55 Chevy...4.8L Ls, 4l60...sweet..
The '55 looks like Michael's Chevy from Knight Rider 2000😎
F1 is a bad a$$ truck! Love the C50!! Nice score on the minty 4 dr, sure glad DD Speed Shop didn't get it, you know what happens to those 4 drs! Lol..... Dan is a great talent!
That yard full of mostly-wrecked cars is damn depressing
Yep it’s sad
Thank god. That C50 is AMAZING. I said to myself when I saw it that it was perfect for you.
Keep the column shift so it stays original. Those are cool and rare.
Lots of cool stuff, not easy to find up here in manitoba. Im an hour and a half from DDSpeedshop, and dont have the same taste in cars as dan.
50’s dodge/fargo trucks, 50’s chevy trucks and a studebaker in the works. I love seeing all the old stuff back on the road where it belongs. Doesent matter what it is, shiny, ratty, LS powered or original, its all good.
My dad had a 55 2door and my brother had a 57 Belair. For some strange reason im a mopar enthusiast.
Subbed because i like what you do, and all these channels motivate me.
Damn I love it
Thanks for the great content. It is really fun for us folks.
I love you guys saving the old Classis out, thank you, you deserve a Metal, You the Man...
The look on your son`s face was priceless. Good job Dave, getting little man interested in old cars. That `55 is 2 years older than me😁
What a nice 55👍👍
You're a great dad Dave!!!❤
I'd get a PDR on the dents and send it, great find.
That C50 is nice my favorite year 67 and 68 I've been looking for a 1/2 ton swb big back window to build you got a good one it don't need anything other then clean it really good then build a bed
Cruise ins are the best. Glad you got time to go
Mr Gixxer 1300r, That young man has probably been leaving rubber since his first bike. GREAT vid Newbern !!!!!
You could sell the wiper system to DD speed shop !!! I also remember putting those old school stickers on old cars...
Don't let DD see the 4d 55, he'll talk you into a 2d conversion .
Mr. B. Here ! Mr. N. The young man many be on too something with the golf cart ! LOL ! May loose your video ! Internet’s issues! The young man first car 1955 , go for it ! 👍👍👍 Congratulations guys ! Needs a little love ! The sound of the doors closing is unbelievable! Good buy on all !
You made two good purchases. If the floorboards and frame are solid in the 55 you can have it highway ready quickly and for not a lot of money. Get it running and drive the wheels off it while the weather is nice. You can make it pretty over the winter.
More tri fives for your crew on tour
So great to see y'all out enjoying a local cruise in and show. Sometimes it's the simple things.😊
Hello again. Mr. Newbern! I saw a interest in your eye for a Torino/70'(Gt....! Yes'sir..! Lovely body. I like."Cars" too...
Identical to my first car!!!
Golden Aniversary 62 Chevy👍
That wagon in the garage…that had me planning some selling on my part to get some $$ for something like that
I thought the same. Was wondering what I could let go of to get that
I just found 3 56's here in Texas. Worked out a deal for 1 2door Bel Air and 2 4doors with two containers full of parts. Enough to make two cars! Cool to see another one saved!
Great strategy. bring your friends to the junkyard and hopefully they buy stuff. You still get to save them old cars but don't have to pay for them😂😂 win win win
Yoo-Hoo's are the best .
Just finished speaking with Wesley about 30 minutes ago when I asked him about the car. Great find guys 🔥🇺🇸🇺🇸🙌🇺🇸🇺🇸🔥
Great to see you son's enthusiasm for building a hot rod. Great video love your content
Score !!!
Great find
55 is very similar to the one I had almost 50 years ago. Very nice time capsule and an excellent score.The C50 is also killer and will be very useful
Don't let Danni's boyfriend from DD SpeedShop get a hold of that 4 door! 👍👍🇨🇦
