1959 Dodge Late-Night Sketchiness and More Classic Tires!
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 12 พ.ย. 2017
- Time to tidy up the 1959 Dodge Viscount and park it on the "lot" here at the CWMC used-car emporium! This rare Dodge Viscount is a one-year model for Canada, the equivalent of a Plymouth Fury. She is in poor condition after sitting outside for many years, but I think we can make her presentable enough to display in the yard here.
Also featured here is a somewhat ambiguous episode of "My Classic Tire" where we never actually quite managed to ascertain the make or model of the featured rubber... Once I realized it was a retread, it made sense why we couldn't read it.
Hubcap anoraks will have an easy time with this week's challenge... normal people maybe not so much, haha!
I patched up the front fenders where an old attempt at repair had fallen apart, and just wanted to dust-in the spots enough to make the car look less derelict. While we were at it, we put a few tires together for it so it would hold itself off the ground.
This Viscount is not really restorable, but it is still an interesting addition to the "lot" here at Coldwarmotors! The floor is long gone, and the engine is seized up, but I still think it needs to be preserved since there can't be very many left.
Thanks again to everyone who subscribed to our channel here; I appreciate all of the "likes" and comments, and try to answer as many as I can... Please subscribe so I can keep at it... I'll be doing a lot of fun projects this winter, but meanwhile there's this...
All the very best from me and Stella and little Francine (who wasn't born yet when we shot this little masterpiece...). - ยานยนต์และพาหนะ

If I ever had the resources to own property away from everyone in the sticks. I'd surely do something like you are. I'd build 2, 100' long open sided carports, facing each other in a V about 80' apart at the widest. Grade in and install a nice lawn in between with an awesome fire pit in the center. Fill the sheds with old relics that would never see the road again. Polish up the chrome, and at night in summer by firelight, beers , friends and music, enjoy the reflection of all those awesome front ends staring out at us till the birds sing. Keep up the great work! Cheers.
The coolest shit on TH-cam.
Love the latest episode from the backyard of 4doorland in Sask. I've fixed carbs, brakes and motors in the dark, but bodywork and paint matching by porchlight is another level of technical achievement, especially when high and buzzed. Good work agents.
I love these old Mopars but they were real rust buckets in no time. I am surprised to see any of them still around above the Mason-Dickson Line. That one does make a really nice piece of "Yard Art". Love the videos. Keep up the good work. Paul.
Yep. It seems the more elaborate the design, the worse it rusted. You see far more unrestored examples of the older, boxy, late 40s / early 50s MOPAR than you do the Exner styled stuff.
Arseholing it together is my new favourite phrase
The view from your front door is awesome. 30 classics all lined up like you could just jump in any of them and go
Haha some of them you even could! Some will go further than others though... Cheers!
It's interesting to see you replying here. I've been following your work for a long time. Coldwar Motors is one of my favourites!
Well thanks for saying so and for watching this stuff! Cheers from Canada's worst used-car lot...
Yep... you made me laugh out loud in a slightly crazy way. Dog is giving me "the LOOK" now.
Made my day! You don't always get a chance to push around a '59 Dodge. I graduated highschool in '59, when cars were cars and men were, well, anyway it was fun watching this.
Aaron , and
I love listening to you guys heckle each other and rip on those poor old cars, you have quite the museum of time capsules, their like WW11 vets,we need to get to know them and appreciate them now before it's too late and that clock tics fast
You guys are great!! I love the old cars I’ve been driving a 1965 Ford Mustang Fastback for 49 years! I appreciate the skills you have to keep those old cars going!!! Keep it up 😎
Perfect tidy up on the front fenders..... beautiful Viscount.
Splendid as always. Never stop being you, or being Canadian.
Haha thanks for continuing to indulge this kind of nonsense.. All the best from me and the girls...
It was nice to see the yard and the cars and good people
You gentlemen are fantastic at bodywork and paint. How you freshen up these old cars is a delight to watch! Cheers!
Hey thanks for checking it out... not exactly our finest hour on this one, but definitely an improvement! Cheers...
That Dodge is a thing of beauty! I could spend days wandering around looking at your cars. They best part is they are the 4 door sedans folks drove around all the time. Shows how much more style and class they had back then even in their mundane everyday vehicles. Thanks for preserving these babies.
Hi Eric! Thanks for the note; please feel free to stop in and wander around if you are in town! Cheers from us here....
That Hudson painting is now hanging in a gallery in Maui. The old girl is getting around :) Check it out here: facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10211955425854914&set=a.10203956557688209.1073741826.1050392494&type=3&theater
Well look at that! What a strange and wonderful thing for such an anonymous old heap resting in a yard in the middle of nowhere... Good stuff; thanks for sending that along, cheers!
Hail the Viscount! These Knights of Nostalgia shall make it reign again. Really looking forward to you bringing that mutt of a beaut back to life. Thanks for the fun vids.
A pretty cool car indeed. At least you saved it & it looks good. It's there. Who knows what happens in the future. Maybe someone falls madly in love with it & restore it to former glory after an unfathomable lot of work.
I love this! Thank you for saving it, as I would have never known of such a car.
The over view (from the new deck?) was epic and glorious!! Thanks again for bringing us along for the ride!!!
so i love that you guys are goofin around the car cracking me up and then BAM! youre showing mad skills with the paint gun making it look awesome and easy.
Hey thanks for watching this stuff! Just goofing around; lots of "actual" work on the way if anyone wants to see it... Cheers!
Seized engine and no floor, but still must watch the attention to esthetic detail. Best set of "eyebrows" on any Dodge/Plymouth/Fury/Viscount hybrid in North America. A history lesson for Francine at some later date.
I love when old cars get repainted , but this takes the cake right here . drink a couple cases of beer and smoke some left hand Tabacco and paint in pitch black with a flashlight ! Only you Agents could pull this off. FANTASTIC !
Gotta love a whitewall, retread snow tyre. Canadian ingenuity at its finest...
Right? That one ticked ALL the boxes! Haha cheers...
You should work on that Viscount after you finish the Plymouth Fury. I believe it'd be a good 'Will it Run' for after you finish the long 'daily driver' project.
‘58 and ‘59 are my favorite full-size Chrysler/Dodge/Plymouth cars - I love that look. And y’all did an amazing job matching that color! Kudos!
I enjoyed this two years later follow up video. The paint job is a pretty close match. Even if she isn't fully restorable the efforts you are making to preserve her are worthwhile as these are rare cars & even a static display piece is better than nothing.
I love this car, the fins, the color, the rear faux spare on the trunklid, very cool!! I want one!!
An angry looking old girl keeping watch over things. Your place is looking great Scott. The nicely leveled lot complete with gravel and a real nice deck and stairs. Nicely done and looking very tidy I must say. It looks like Stella has been cracking the whip!! 👍
Once again, you guys have way too much fun!!
THUMBS UP #432. Best wishes from Eaton, OH. That paint match is excellent. It reminds me of the "flesh" color crayons we had as kids in the '50s. In my case, it was the least-used one in the box. Thanks!
Haha thanks for the note and for checking out the old Dodge! Yeah, what a colour combo on this one... unlikely that it will be making a comeback on the next Camry or whatever... Cheers!
Always anxious to see what conjure up. Favorite you tuber. Everyone needs a Stella in their life.
Always love your vids. Reminds me of when I fell in love with a 1965 Rambler 990 and bought it off a car lot. Convinced my mom to use her Mazda RX3 wagon to push me to the house where I could rebuild the Rambler, which I did.
I'll continue to stay tuned because your vids are always a hoot! And they remind me of the cars I bought and drove when I was growing up in Texas.
Hey thanks for the note and for continuing to watch this stuff... All the best from me and the girls!
You sir are the master of innovation 👍👍👍👍👍
Love the video , and the view of all the Cars lined up . great screen saver picture . Ray in Pa U.S.A.
Hey thanks, and thanks for checking out the latest nonsense... Cheers from us here!
Man, you guys have too much fun around that yard.
Greetings from Melbourne! Great video and always a pleasure to see Stella and the new uploads - the paint match looks good too!... I need to get a trunk lid trim like that for my 57 Plymouth - when I get around to finishing the car...
Greetings from Alberta! Thanks for checking out this largely meaningless video... Just goofing off and hanging with friends. I was pretty impressed with the lucky match, especially when you consider that I made it from the first 3 cans of paint I grabbed! Crazy good luck, because if it had been way off, it was going on anyway, haha! Cheers from me and the girls...
Interesting to see you here Peter. I've been following you and Corvette Ben for ages. Cheers from almost the other end of Canada from Alberta!
Greetings from the stray Kiwi in Idaho! Meaningless & goofing off is what us simple people come here for. Your collection is looking good Mate!
I am glad to see that you taped off the fender mirror so as to keep it from overspray. You never know when you might need to use them to see who is tailgating.
The Viscount is looking pretty good. Much better than when you brought it home. Nice job Dean did matching the paint. She looks more like a candidate for restoration than a parts car. After seeing what you did with the '69 Torino, I know you can do it. You asked the question, "How many Viscounts are left?". Here's your chance to save one! We'll all be here to cheer you on!
Good job with the front end fix up. Great looking car! Love your channel!
Hey thanks and thanks for continuing to watch this stuff!
My new favorite TH-cam program! You guys do a great job!
Nice job on the Dodge you have the best video's. I love to see Stella also.
Pure Canadian Gold .... "White Wall Snow Tires" the Yeti, the Abominable Snowman of of Car Lore. Worth at least one Bit Coin.
Haha right? I'm happy to see that anyone besides me finds this kind of crap even slightly interesting... All the best from us here!
So glad that you did this to this old beauty.
Hey glad you like the ol' Viscount like I do! Cheers...
"He signed the waiver"...the Canadian version of "You knew this might happen", lol! Also, that's a heck of a paint match job: Done in the dark, under the influence of a few brewskis, with old paint. An inspiration to ancient gearheads everywhere.
Hey thanks for the kind words and for watching this stuff! All the best from me and Stel and Francine...
Guinness Book of Records....Coldwarmotors substantial collection of runnable old tires on cars...some even from the 1940's holding 1940's air.
Seeing a new CWM video makes my day!
Hey Rene! Glad you liked it... Hope all is well with you! Cheers from the worst car lot in the country...
I might swing by this Saturday if you're around. Gotta meet Francine and say hi to Stella. :)
Love your channel, love what you do!!!
Yet another Masterpiece from my favorite channel!! Keep em coming!!
Haha will do! Cheers from all of us here...
Awesome! I dream of one day having the land and space that you do so that I can save all that I can too!
Nice to see that Dodge being loved white some new paint .
It´s a cool car !
Excellent! For sure if I had a 59 Viscount I would want to keep it close by where I could look at it and draw inspiration from it's noble countenance every day. Great paint match and you make that fender repair look so easy. Now I need to try that on my rusty Merc.
Hey, thanks for the note and for continuing to support this nonsense... Cheers from me and the girls!
I love those old " FORWARD LOOK " mopars.
Well...I've seen some painters who's work was "in the dark" BUT I have never seen a paint Job applied in the dark...outside...with a flashlight!! And the end resulting color match is excellent! You couldn't come THAT close with a pre-mixed factory pack...
Now we know where Earl Schieb moved to....Alberta!
You can be really proud of your collection of rescue dogs...they make me want to save anything 50 years or more just to save it from the crushers!
Good Job, we're pullin' for ya, keep your stick on the ice.....✌😂
The headlight brows look fantastic after repair and paint! Assuming that 1959 was the last non-unibody year, one could envision a perfect universe in which the 361 cid could be unstuck, the body could be lifted off the frame, tidied/painted, new floors built, and this venerable Mopar made handsome and roadworthy. Like manly men, it's the last of its kind.
Hey, thanks for the note! Glad you liked the old Viscount... She could be restored if anyone had the money, but 4 door sedans are almost never worth the effort once they are badly rusted and seized up. Nevertheless, she is safe now from the scrapyard anyway...All the best from us here!
About bloody time... Yes that is one fine looking automobile. Looks like she's flying - even with a seized engine.
Haha glad you liked the touch-up job! She's a real eye-catcher for sure... I'm very happy with where it is sitting now! Cheers from me and the girls...
That's such a cool car I love the huge fins. I used to draw cars like that when I was a little kid ha ha. I'd love to own a 58 Plymouth hell I must've watched Christine 40 times already.
Yet another cool video, thanks!
Congratulations on the fresh gravel.
What a gem
Nice car. Your videos always make me laugh. You and the agents are a blast. Koodo's to dean on the paint match.
Hey thanks for watching this stuff! Cheers...
Now THAT is what I call a real man's lawn ornament. You did some really nice work on those fenders, and I'm impressed with the patina. Too bad that car is too far gone to restore, it's a beaut
Hey thanks for the note! Yeah, everything is restorable, but in a case like this, the car is not worth near what it would cost to restore. If it were a 2 door, it would be a lot closer, but 4 doors have a certain value, regardless of how rare they are. This is the only 59 Viscount I've ever seen, so I'm going to save it... maybe someone someday will feel like doing it, but for now I'm going to spend my effort on the prettier 2 door hardtops! Cheers...
Body and paint work on a car with a seized motor. You win a gold in the waste of time Olympics! Cheers from the Catskills!
Haha cheers from everyone here at the ol' junkyard...
Oh man that's some real 'fly by night' body work going on there haha! Can't argue with the results though. The yard sure looks a lot better with that new gravel laid down and all the cars lined up + the new deck (overhead view is nice). You just need some period correct used car lot signage and some paint markers for the windscreens to complete the effect!
Hey, thanks for the note... Yeah, I am definitely thinking of getting some more of that type of thing... The little flags on the antennas and the little crappy "office" and such... I think I'll occasionally rotate the "inventory" a bit, too! Cheers from us here...
Oh boy always looking forward to new vids
Hey, thanks for watching this stuff... all the best from me and the girls...
Hubcap looks like a 1956 Meteor. The 56 Ford cap looks identical but has a red center.
I was thinking "56 Ford" but was confused at the center emblem which doesn't even look plastic to me.
Ladies and gentlemen, the winner... Nicely done! Cheers from all of us here.
..Heh-heh-heh !!...
..it's going to the bottom of the Ocean !..😄
...nice tape job -Dean !...
That '59 dodge is quite a beast too bad the engine is seized on it. well its always great to see you and your used car emporium. Cheers
The closest I can come to the Dart Sport is a dealer promotional model of a 75! The yard looks great! Best to all, including the tour legged French gang.
Thanks for the note and for checking it out! The Dart is finished now; we did it in a 1974 Chrysler medium metallic green colour... I think it looks really good... Maybe I'll do a look at it once it is put back together. Cheers from me and the girls...
Cool on the Uniroyal Fastrak tire! They were original equipment on some of my '73 B-body Pontiacs -- H78-15 & J78-15 sizes - whitewall though.
Yeah, they must have been pretty popular because i have found them on several of the old heaps that drift in here... Cheers!
Can't wait to see the rest of the body work is done .
To cool for words.My wife wants to know what I want for my birthday.I want a "My Classic Tire" Tshirt please.
Ok cool... I like it... Maybe we'll put one together! Cheers from me and the girls...
You had me at Sketchiness! lol

When you get around to it, that will make a great daily driver!
We should get Scott one of those flashlights for his paint gun that the cops have for their guns. Lol!
Cool video as usual. Say hello to Stell and Maxine for me. Keep up the great work
A fella has to arrange his yard ornaments just so......nice spot.
Right? I thought so too... Cheers!
That Viscount is a beauty...maybe your next "will it run" project ;)?
takoma5 motor is seized up as per the description so likely not unless he swaps motors would be cool if he did however he also said in the description it had no floor anymore
The Gods are angered by that white wall snow tire. I, however, approve.
Oh the midnight dustins there going on!! Sounds like a CCR song!!
It’s a museum!
Duster/Demon best looking old Mopars in my opinion and the 340ci was a beast of a small block.
you got a lotta cool cars . I like that red truck.
As often, the car looks decent in the video, really not too bad...apart from the missing floor you can clearly see in some shots. Too bad the engine is seized, would be a nice "Will it run?" episode for sure. You guys really did a great job on the Fender repair, looks good and the paint match really turned out nice! Love the dual antennas! Although they are not "Christine correct" I was always looking for a set of these, hard to find in good shape...oh and once again I must admit that your yard looks amazing. What an amazing view to enjoy every morning...how about some old "used cars" signs to make it look like an abandoned 50s car dealership?
a 59 Plodge is *exactly* what I would want to first see as I stumble out each morning. Good call on placement...
Haha glad you liked the idea too!... All the best from us here.
I can't understand why anyone would dislike one of your videos. Let alone 7.
I Think that is what the Hollywood studio prop men do to provide street scenery in movies, just splash some paint on and park it by the drug store (nice background sound effects)
That old Plymouth, er I mean Dodge looks pretty good
Today on " On the scene with Dean"
the whitewall sets it off real nice.. needs a full set. Looking a lot nicer now.
I'm glad to see that one finally getting some attention. Will it run?? Hmmm
Dean can do it... come on brother. You did it nice job 😁
The seat of honor at the base of the steps! Raise it up and add motor to each wheel and power the lights.just keep it alive.
When thunder roars, go indoors dam it!~ :)
Recently they discovered a dead grasshopper in a painting by V. van Gogh..."Olive Tree" (1889) 100y from now they will find a dead mosquito on the Dodge Viscount. :D
Great car collection! pre-Francine video,. Thank you for the same old s...
Hey, thanks for continuing to support this nonsense...
The place is looking good.
Hey thanks! Having some fun now for sure... Maybe rotate the "inventory" occasionally to keep it interesting? Cheers...
Car is looking good
*VISCOUNT!*
What the hell is Viscount, anyways?
Enjoying another early-morning trip though vintage CWM episodes, seeing how things were progressing
(ok, well, at least not REgressing, anyways) a little over 5 years ago. She looks regal in her resting place!
- Ed on the Ridge
Damn, that`s one nice looking car!
Greetings from Finland!
Greetings from Canada! I believe similar models were exported to your part of the world when new? All the best from us here...
coldwarmotors
Yes they were exported to here, but only big corporations and few very rich people could afford to buy them back in the day. It was same thing with all north American vehicles.
Nice wide shots of the cold war motoring outdoor museum :)
Atlas was the brand of tires sold by Standard gas stations. The brand name came back this year.
Well, it's done turned near wintertime down here in Kentucky. And me and Wifey have marked off our territories for the duration. She allows she ought to have extra space for putting up with me and The Poet, making out it's some ordeal. I point out to her that she should view the upcoming enclosed months as a chance for her personal enrichment while she's making the biscuits and such.
The Poet don't allow a good goddamn unless he's knee-deep in my liquor cabinet.
Another waste of time and energy...
Exner's Monument
Check out the Dodge, Rog...
Just a-hanging at my door.
He's still got a roof, but he ain't got no damn floor.
Well, hook up the tank, Frank...
We'll paint this scoundrel true.
He won't be brown, and he damn sure won't be blue.
Now pass up the roach, Coach...
This job is damn near done.
He's some improved, but he damn sure will not run.
