Chevy blue flame 6 or stove bolt introduced in 1929 was never a flathead engine. It was an OVHD from the beginning. Do some research! The Chrysler inline 6 was a flathead 6 that performed well for the period compared to its competitors. You keep bringing up common issues of all engines of this period as being failures in these particular cars and models. PLEASE DO SONE REAL RESEARCH! The information is not hard to find.
I got my drivers license on my 16th birthday in a 1949 Chevrolet Fleetline that had a 216 cubic inch inline 6 OVERHEAD VALVE engine and three on the tree. I was so proud! 😂😂
As to the pathetic hatchet job on the 55 150, know that the 235 was also the standard engine on the 210 and Bel Air. That Engine sold quite well through the whole tri 5 period, even to the early 60's when it was replaced with the 250 Turbothrust Inline 6. That Inline 6 sold very well into the late 60's in full size Chevys.
What in the World is a VIE Eight engine? The 50 Olds with the 303 was nicknamed the "Banker's Hotrod." You don't seem to appreciate that engine, just like you don't appreciate the Inline 6's. All your videos seem to make it clear, you weren't around at the time and have no idea as to what people were actually buying and happy to get. Funny too, that you are not aware that overheating in early 50's automobiles was a very common problem over the entire industry.
The Edsel was an upscale, higher priced FOMOCO offering. certainly does not fit the description of a car that "only the poor could afford." No real thought went into this. The 292, with 200 hp was much more powerful than many other engines. The statement that it was a simple overhead valve engine make it sound like there was anything else around. Not so. Even the MOPAR Hemi's were OHV. The same crap you said about the Chevy earlier are the exactly the same thing you said about the Edsel.
You keep talking about oil leaks and consumption. You weren't around. Until the PVC valve replaced the road draft tube, you expected to need a ring job after 60,00 miles. The other thing that was expect was a valve job after 40.000. This is why there were product like Casite Motor Honey and Tune Up, as well as Solder Seal brand Valve Medic, which were stall off chemistry.
Your video talked at length and featured the 1955 Oldsmobile Ninety Eight (sometimes called a “98”), but after viewing video 3 times, I realized that you did not have ANY examples (that I could see) that actually were the larger wheelbase Ninety Eight models. Rocket 88 and Super 88 models are more plentiful and easy to tell, distinguished by the “88” badge on both front fenders, the shorter rear door (on 4-Dr models), the shorter quarter panels and short decklids, shorter taillamps, and the entirely different moldings and Rocket 88 logo badging on the deck lid. Of course the Ninety Eight had a 126” wb and an overall length of 213 in., compared to the shorter 88’s 122” wb and 203” overall length. So although you kept discussing the luxury of the Ninety Eight, and how disappointed owners were with their new high-priced Olds… there were no Ninety Eight models pictured in your video… only the shorter 88. I guess you COULD argue that Oldsmobile used the same 324 ci engine block on both their models… but the cars were carbureted differently with a 4-bbl on the Ninety Eight and Super 88, vs a 2-bbl on the base 88. Horsepower was only about 17 less on the 88, and the 88 ran on regular fuel, where the Ninety Eight (as well as the Super 88) ran only on Premium fuel (Ethyl in the ‘50s). So although the video kept referring to the 1955 luxury Ninety Eight models, none of these models were shown in this video! And, although 88 models outsold the Ninety Eight models by approx. 4 to 1, there are still a good many out there for examples for your video. The cars sold well in 1955 when Oldsmobile was riding high. I will add that I owned a fully loaded (incl’d factory a/c) 1955 Oldsmobile Ninety Eight for over 10 years…. later on in its life… and had very little, if any trouble with coolant leakage, car overheating, oil leakage/oil consumption, burning oil, or low compression. The stock engine car ~hauled ass~. And it had a 4-speed stock Hydra-matic on it… so you could easily/always get it to downshift into passing gear and fly… even with all that weight. One of my better vintage vehicles I’ve ever owned… of many.
6:24 hence Every Day Something Else Leaks😀.11:11 but the Fords that had this same 292 didn't have these problems? 19:38 enough with the fuel consumption. Nobody gave a damn about that gas was 25 cents a gallon and nobody knew or cared about MPG
Seriously, do you even watch or listen to your videos before you post them? Perhaps Whoopi Goldberg or Joy Behar does your research? Lots of misinformation here.
Another ridiculous channel stealing content and using a computerized voice. Sorry, there's no "fair use" content here. You know that because you even said in the description to contact you for copyright issues. It's clear that you have absolutely no idea what "fair use" really means. And, you have utterly butchered the content. Gotta also love the notion that you don't even know that the phrase is "only the rich could afford." How would it make any sense that only poor people could afford these cars? Bravo, dewdrop, you're a real hero.

👍👍👍👍👍gracias por tus documentarios i felicitaciones.
Clearly, you have no idea as to the outputs of the 1950 Inline 6 engines produced. Anything over 85hp was considered quite powerful.
Chevrolet NEVER PRODUCED a 216 FLATHEAD ENGINE ....NEVER !!!! They were ALL OHV 6 Cylinders....Bullshit video
But inspiteof all of what he says . These body styles beat the heck out of these modern ugly SUV Cars of today.!😊
Winser never made a good engine, even the V8 thru 1974. However, the Cleveland engine from Ford was durable with decent power.

we called them the slobber tube back in the day
@@ron-mz7wv, now "slobber tube" describes TH-cam's robot voice and sloppy research!
@@Timba-w7f good one,,,wish i thought of it,,,,,I don't think any of them were around at that time

You have your engines all mixed up L head OHV . L head engines have NEVER HAD a valve cover !!
Your AI needs work.
Seriously, do you even watch or listen to your videos before you post them? Perhaps Whoopi Goldberg or Joy Behar does your research? Lots of misinformation here.
If only he knew what he is taking about, it would be worth watching, since he doesn't don't bother!
So you're telling me the 216 had oil leaks ?
All the 50s 60s Car's and Trucks we're well BUILT
Yes I agree,with comment. 4254!
Is the whole video on the fleetline? How many times are you going to repeat yourself
Umm,you don't have valve covers on a flat head.
Gee every engine in big3 cars leaked oil who made one that didn't
Fletline! Chevrolet! Glenn
Does it matter I'd like to have one of them
mass 👌👌

The 216 was an ohv motor do your tesearch
You are repeating yourself. How much have you had to drink?
This video is mostly BS. Not worth your precious time.
AI generated crap
AI BS. Waste of time.
Nice video of classics info bull shit
Again in your opinion
