Hey Gang! You have been asking for a while so here’s a quick walk around of the showroom at the shop here!
-Strongs Garage
One of these days, that phone on the wall is going to ring, the past will be on the line and thank you guys for all of the preservation work. Well done!
What an awesome comment! Being a history nut and loving old things especially those saved from the dump, you comment made me well up a little with tears. Cheers and thanks for a great comment!
I cannot begin to express how the front counter space, as well as the garage itself, reflects a passion and love that has few peers. DIY, recycled and repurposed materials, and TONS of elbow grease made your shop an awesome showcase of your region and bygone days. Thank you for sharing, and I hope you both get many decades of joy from your build.
It's good to see you being good stewards of your local history. The immense amount of work that's been put into the shop shows! Thanks for sharing this with us. 😎
I enjoyed the tour, thanks.
Outstanding job preserving history!!!! My husband and I are restoring an 1850s building in our downtown for a radio museum. We are finding many treasures and clues to the history. We are using as much on site as we can and also using salvage items. It's a crazy labor of love. Cheers!
Thank you for the tour. You've gathered quite the assortment of treasures there.
What a great tour! I look forward to each of your videos. One never knows what we will get but it’s always great! As for your old garage, I have no words for how much I appreciate what you did with it. So beautiful and such a reflection of you guys do. Masterpiece.
Such fun history! Good job guys.
You're doing your local area a great favour by preserving and presenting so much which is period anyway but with such a strong local element. (No pun intended) I love the small items that you've collected like the garage giveaways for customers - and those 'phone numbers for them. Nobody'd have wanted a telephone number pay check in those days!!
I think I just accidentally walked into a time machine and got transported to the past. So much cool old stuff. Thanks for preserving all that history.
What a view! Great team you have!
Thanks for the tour.
Absolutely stunning work! A museum quality build.
That old stuff is great. I look at the photo of the old dealership and I see ... nothing is plastic. What a difference!
You fellows should be so proud of your business. Love the way y'all have stayed true to the history of those old dealerships and the tools and advertisements of those good old days. Congratulations fellows.
What a wonderful place Matt and friends!!!
Fan of coldwarmotors, a fan of this show, Good job Matt and Jim, Love the vintage old antiques! Good show of historical history!
The Garage/shop looks very nice. You can tell a lot of hours has gone into the restoration of the building. It also appears that you have the components to make a very sweet 30's hot rod, complete with flathead V8 and quick change rear end. I would enjoy seeing a nice 30's rod get built. I enjoy your channel.
I really appreciate all the work you have put into preserving the antique feel of your garage, a real gem. One thing you might consider is moving that awesome calendar away from the sunlight coming through the window, those colours will begin to fade in no time at all, especially the reds, it would be a shame to lose it's brand new-ness.
Incredible space. Having worked more than a few years in dealers, and working in some older stores, I am very much a dealer history junkie. Thank you for all the hours you invested, it is obviously very interesting to a lot of people. Wishing you both well.
What a wonderful museum you have! Congrats. FYI, Your beautiful 1925 calendar should be hung away from natural light. Most commercial printers do not use light safe inks for printing. I am a graphic designer who has worked with commercial printers for many years and have seen many posters ruined by hanging them where they are exposed to sunlight (UV rays) and they all have faded. I compared several of them to samples from the same print run that have been stored in flat files away from sunlight and the difference is very obvious only when you have them side by side. I hope you can find a spot to hang it away from windows or doors that allow natural light in. One alternative is to frame it with UV resistant glass (most frame shops can supply you with the glass or can frame it for you in a way that will protect it from UV light and dirt and grime that collects in shops). Good luck.
Absolutely my dream shop.
Beautiful work,a glimpse of the past.
The phone is connected to the past! Just great! You should spend about 1 minute each episode calling someone who worked in the building in the past and try and explain something from the present to them. Like cruise control or smart phones or inflation even. Maybe give them some tips on what cars to buy and hold onto. The possibilities are endless. We would only hear your side of the conversation though of course. Haha.
Great tour! The shop is coming along nicely! Always great to preserve history and remember the simpler times. Well done!
The Four wheel brakes signs were from the 20's when a lot of cars still had rear brakes only (and model T's ) so if you followed a flashy car with 4 wheel brakes they may stop better than you so give them space. 😁
Man that is one beautiful building. You've done a wonderful job of restoring it and you must be so proud of it. Here's a big shout out from Halifax. I love your show as well as the Canadian spin on it. Nothing else like it on TH-cam.
Great. Now get back to work!!
Kidding, love you guys. Fabulous building. It's very ...um...comforting. Yeah, that's it.
I soon as I get the notification I start brewing a cup of coffee and sit down and enjoy your presentation. Always a pleasure and you never disappoint. I love your shop. If I ever make it up your way I would love to visit. Thank you for your vision into the past. Keep up the outstanding work
buddy-very beautiful ~see ya!~))
Why am I having Flashbacks to Bob and Doug McKenzie? Great work guys, have a good one
Very nice , much cleaner than CWM
What a great place. Excellent work.
That showroom looks like it was always like that. And I love that the till only goes up to $2.99! Wonderful job!
I want to feel the same way Jim does sitting in that mint model A one day haha
The garage looks really amazing, you guys did a great job on it
Hello ! Discovered y'all through Cold War Motors, so glad I did! What a great shop you have, truly living the dream! Wish you all the best in your endeavors going forward!
LOVE your shop!
Hi guys you have the most wonderful showroom of tools and articles I think it’s fantastic you saved and share all this with us around the world even me here in UK ENGLAND you should be honoured by Canada as custodians of history all the best guys xx Royboy in UK
6:36 Betchya those suction cups are as hard as my head, lol.
This is the coolest shop I've even seen... I must be reincarnated from the 30's and 40's because I'm overly drawn to this stuff
Showroom area looks great and I love how you have so much period pieces there like stepping back in time. There was a restaurant in Waterloo Ont that was like that. It was like stepping in a place from the 40's or 50's. Sadly the family sold it and it did not last long with the new owner and it closed.
That was fun. Great tour.
Very interesting and great to see all the hard work and good taste involved in the creation of the space. Thank you for the tour!
It's just beautiful. You must be very proud of it and should be.
What an absolutely wonderful place you have 👍👍
Love it, the garage is so nice!!!
I have a house from 1850, and I repurpose all the old wood
I drive by your shop quite often when we come to town to goto the local butcher. I grew up in the area and I was always curious of what that shop was all about.
Great job guys, glad to see you're keeping it going.
THANKS FOR THE TOUR !!!
Very impressive !
The garage looks really amazing, you guys did a great job on it. The showroom looks very cool! Hello from Edmonton!
Just found your channel.. I love the old designs of buildings (and cars of course) Cheers from Buffalo Flats Classics Northeast Wyoming 🇺🇸!!!!
I loved this tour. Thanks so much from Illinois.
You guys crack me up.
Looks great ! Enjoyed the show !
Ding ding, yeah!
So cool. I love what you stand for, your passion is infectious.
Very nice show room, lots of cool old stuff to look at, 👌 keep up the good work guys👍
What a fun idea!! I sure love having a look around and hearing the stories. I hope ppll are able to make donations to your building project. Im sure there are tons of stuff ppl have sitting around gathering dust that would love to see it being displayed and cherrished again. The overhead trolley system you have in the shop made me think the blding was at one time a place for meat cutting? Regardless its a treat to see. Keep up the good work on your museum!! I love it!!
Great tour.
I bought my electric car (1980 Comuta Car) from George Thomson’s estate sale.
Absolutely love the channel. I used to make original reproduction model a model t and Willy's radiators made them the same way they did using some of the original equipment and tooling from Ford. About the channel keep a hard work really appreciate work you put into it it definitely shows.
Nice ture of your shop guy reminds me of going too the parts store with my dad when I was a kid
Thanks for the tour
Such a joy to see, so much saved and combined with your obvious enthusiasm it's beautiful. Thanks for sharing
Hey guys!
Somehow I missed out on the knowledge that you have started a channel. Don't know how that happened, but I'm subscribed now!
Great work, and glad you're sharing your knowledge!
You should protect that calendar under glass or something.
UV blocking glass to keep it from fading.
Those two guys remind me Bob and Doug McKenzie on The Great White North
That is a beautiful job that you all did. A heck of a great job!
God Bless you guys😊🙏
Too cool for school! The first thing you should do is remove all seating from the showroom... If you don't you'll get bums like me who won't want to leave!!!
Last clip looked like John Boy Walton.
I keep looking for the glass-bubbled coffee percolator on a hot plate you guys must be drinking from.Our Mom had hers from the 50's and used it everyday.Awesome work that you all did to rebuild,and build that place.Well done! Can almost smell axle-grease and coffee from here.
It's Monday back to work!
Hang on to that 1926 calendar. It was correct last year, and will be correct again in 2027!
Surprised no one wanted to make a movie there yet.
My old house still has one set of push button light switches like the one you have.
Beautiful building. Do you give tours also?
Love it!
hey Lads..what is your favorite coffee?..love your garage..and thx for not having Dean stumble and mumble on..
Just a hint guys love your video's but the echo from not have mics on each of you in terrible, just an idea for you to look into.
"Allen Milliard" may answer on that phone line , he is in a Zone of his own!
Amazing work!! What a wonderful p!ace.
Beautiful job on this re use re build.
The items used and stories are awesome also.
Fabulous! Thanks for the tour!
Oh so cool, I love all of it but, if I had to choose, I love the period style sliding door and the counter, please keep posting all of this cool stuff... thank you from UK. btw, I have a "work in progress" T chassis, styled in the way of US racer John Gerber, it is similar condition to your 19 car, trouble is I've been building it for about 30 years!
I hope you don't mind, I shared you're three racecar post to my blog, I can remove if you would prefer.
Thats cool a hell what you guys did with the building....i dont use the term...but you have the ultimate man cave....
If you guys were just a teenie bit closer to me, I'd have my '37 Studebaker coupe in your shop for some fine tuning. But, alas.
The shop is very cool, the hoist in the work area is my favorite part. Does it have that wonderful smell of oil and grease that the old shops always had?
Looking good fellas! How much for an oil change and tire rotation on a 1967 Morris Minor Tourer? If the price is right I might just head up.
Thats a cool old building..
Was that a service center at one point , or a dealership ?
They could have filmed The Waltons at this shop.
Lol, a sane person would burn it down, and put the ashes back together....
I'm stealing that!
Very nice showroom, and shop too!
Here's my question, is there anything that you use, in your shop, that is new? I'm gonna go out on a limb, and say 'everything' in that building is antique!!
Not everything. I've seen them using battery powered drills.
Do wrenches hang on the wrench?
" A sane person would have burned it and tried to put the ashes back " 🤪
killer
Elmer Fuad and the farmer A • Do you guys work on cars A
I love you phuquing Canagians eh
"A sane person would have burned it" 🤣🤣🤣
