Something about design of this period radiates quality and brilliance. Truly killed off by the Government Depression and WWII.
First pick 32 Hudson , second 32 Nash, thanks for bringing up a previous company that used the De Soto name.
I honestly didn’t know about the previous company and then when I found out about the previous company and Zimmerman and that Auburn bought those two companies out it was finding the missing link because I didn’t know what two companies Auburn bought out when asking Google. Google doesn’t present that information… or at least it didn’t for me goo is always improving because a month or two ago you could’ve asked Google what was the first American company to use disc brakes your answer would’ve been Chevy Corvette but that’s not true. It was the 49 Crosley hotshot, but the Europeans were using brakes way before that.
@@What.its.like. That info is in my Auburn Cord Dusenberg book, haven't opened it in a while but I remember it mentioning Zimmerman and a De Soto model car.
McPherson struts, disk brakes, rack and pinion steering, 4 speed car transmissions, and unit bodies the Europeans were getting ahead of us by the 40's.
Even Ford was late on our side with McPherson struts with the Pinto when the British and German Fords had them in the 60's, and Mr. McPherson was their engineer back in the 40's.
Great looking car. It's nice to see these cars be shown outside now that the weather is getting better. Great episode.
Happy you dig this car and episode
Beautiful car from Chrysler, especially the grille.
Well Jay, as far as the "NAME THAT TUNE" goes, Great, you've finally made the songs, > From the times of when the Vehicles, were from: Congratulations~
I like the way you pan the interior and exterior of the car at the end of your video. Nice touch, Jay.
That is all of the unused B roll there are so many things that you guys don’t get to see and I figured that would be a good way to show the whole car to anybody that’s putting it back together or if somebody wants to see this car like they’ve never saw it before..
Doing it this way now gets me in the mindset to try to shoot every single line every single angle of that car. I think it’s going to improve the video work not that it needed to be improved upon just get better at showing everything. .. =)
I want this channel to be the go to Classic Car channel to get information on cars. People don’t give information on this one. This car gave me a run for my money information is very scarce
First the Studebaker, Second the DeSoto. Great video...OBTW
0:03 I remember my grandparents talking _endlessly_ about the Lindbergh baby kidnapping.
Hate those starter pedals,makes starting a stalled car on a hill a swine, used to drive me mad. just a cost cutting exercise.
1932 also commemorated Washington by issuing the Washington quarter.
Awesome information. Thank you so much for sharing that.
6:30 I'd call that color Oxblood ... I don't know if that name is used any more.
It's a BEAUTIFUL color, in my book. I wish I painted my '55 Chevy pickup that color.
The only place I find “oxblood” being used these days is in leather goods.
I have a couple pair of riding boots (cowboy) that are oxblood.
Studebaker has styling
Hudson has a great transmission
DeSoto had reliability
WYR 🤔 Yes to all 🤷😉
Fantastic Example
Happy Motoring ✌️🤠
Did you see the wheels on the Studebaker? They almost look modern… great choices they didn’t make a bad looking car in 1932
An elegant car indeed. The fenders hide the frame front and the hood hinge is nicely smoothed to name only two items.
9:56 that oil/temp/speedo/gas/amp cluster is GREAT. Victorian, I'd say. I can imagine it in the original movie "The Time Machine" from 1960.
The DeSoto and Plymouth were introduced simultaneously. Notice how this DeSoto has all 4 doors opening in suicide fashion. My cars of choice would be the Studebaker and DeSoto.
Hi Jay! What a SNAZZY car! Race car inspired styling, good horsepower, brakes that actually stop! What more would you want? These ARE scarce, as I have never seen one in person. I don't know about performance, but this car had 10 horses on the "new" Ford flathead V-8. I bet the 8 cylinder version was a barn-burner! WYR is easy for me this time I want ALL of those cars! 1932 was a great year for auto styling!
They are scarce but they’re not worth that much money totally restored according to JD Powers like $10,000 buys you the best one.. also with that said, they’re very hard to find unmolested
I love the snout on this car! I wish the rims were chrome and not try to match the pinstriping. The cool thing I've learned by your reviews, is that none of the cars from this era had a metal roof. And folks complained about Pinto fuel tanks! jeeesh! Beautiful interior! Everything about this is sah-weet! I'd always assumed they did. How did Chrysler manage to use the DeSoto name plate when it was owned by another company? It would be like Chevy coming out with a Crown Victoria... WYR: 1) DeSoto 2) Nash is sweet, but DeSoto by a bunny hair.
A beautiful example of a beautifully designed car - it reminds me a lot of the ‘32 or ‘33 Plymouth coupe you featured a while back. Chrysler certainly had its styling mojo intact! My impression is that the DeSoto brand was marketed chiefly at the young Smart Set, especially women, who would have found the $8.00 automatic clutch an enticing proposition. The interior of the car also suggests a clear focus on making the car’s interior a readily recognized thing of beauty - it’s all very meticulously done.
Hi Jay, the front, with the magnificent grill, is a real stand out. In particular, the radiator ornament is really swish, I think. RR seems to be the only remaining company to have kept theirs, due to their automating its rapid withdrawal inside the body. I guess RR has the funds because their customers have the funds. I had no idea the De Soto's were so elegant way back when.
There are so many underappreciated cars out there that never got the time of day just like this car I don’t think a lot of people realize it exists. The other thing is it also carried over until the 1933 model year.
Ahead of it's time 32. Compared to ford then. Suicide doors 😂. Byplane w all doors open
2:04 Notice how "modest" the men's bathing suits are in that DeSoto ad.
5:00 "Let's talk styling ..."
That _is_ a sharp looking car.
It seems to be very simple but very high quality build.
Very elegant for DeSoto
10:32 That's the same heat knob my '55 Chevy Pickup had.
Do the Zimmerman! Bob Dylan was a Zimmerman. 🎸 🤠
WYR: All of them.
That's 112.375 inches, or 285.4325 centimeters.
Awesome choices
That was a really long number converted not as long as pi, but still ..
@@What.its.like. Yep.
Hi Jay once again a great video . If I win the mega millions lottery I swear I’d be buying cars every day 😂, for now I’ll just have to wish. For the WYR I will take the studebaker and be very stylish in it . Thanks again and keep them coming, do you have any plans for covering any of the imports like Mercedes Benz, BMW etc
Hahaha me too happy you dig this video.. one day maybe more cedes and bmw
Nice job on the video J. Handsome car. The height of the windshield gives it a chopped look from the front that I don't see in the sides. I think the color combination works on this car too. The grill reminds me of late 30's Chevy pickups. I'd choose the 1932 Studebaker in the first scenario and the 1932 De Soto in the second.
Sweet choices
I should’ve asked the owner when opening the windshield if it opens individual I don’t think it does. I think it opens as one unit.
7:25 My dad said all cars before 1935 had the "soft top."
(He's no longer with us, but I remember him saying that was one way to tell 1935 vs 1936 cars.)
Packard were one of the 1st companies to do a full steel top
A simple but elegantly styled car. Hydraulic brakes were a huge improvement over mechanical brakes which required constant lubrication and adjustment, and most had cables which could break under stress without warning if they rusted. A missed downside here is that in lacking front armrests, most people placed their arm on the faux woodgrain finish, so almost no originals exist now as all have been refinished. Creating this kind of finish for restoration is a lost art now and very expensive to have done, so many owners DIY the job and the results are nowhere near the original quality. This car is one of those kinds of jobs; the originals look far more realistic on close inspection. This car also seems to be 'over-restored' with the paint finish being perfect, whereas you'd see less perfect bodywork on the original more irregular metal stampings. Nice car anyway.
WYR DeSoto both times.
is that a water transfer print decal they used for the woodgrain?
A great looking car, Jay. I'm glad you found one to feature. I'm also glad to see that it gets driven. And I'd take the DeSoto and the DeSoto.
Sweet choices =)
Size 12 shoe... grandma always said if you got big feet, you have a good under-standing.
=)
Looks much more expensive than it was. WYR Desoto for both.
Totally agree =)
Thanks Jay. I hadn't even seen one of these in a photo, so they must be very rare thesedays. It was interesting to see in the factory literature that an automatic clutch was an option. No doubt it would be vacuum actuation via a button on the gearshift. Speedometers of that type are called barrel speedometers, as the numbers are printed on a barrel. Cheers.
Awesome information =)
Very cool and beautiful car. De Soto - Willis
Sweet choices
I've got a question. How in the world are you able to keep up the pace of presenting these detailed videos at such a rapid rate? I can't imagine how I could do that.
I was just talking about this to somebody else because they said I can’t believe you’ve been doing it for as long as you’ve been doing it and you’re not burnt out yet.. it’s getting harder. You would think that it would get easier with time but it hasn’t and it’s hard to switch gears between the cars and the engine episodes because they take two totally different mindsets to put together… But I absolutely love it. This is all I ever wanted to do… i’ve always wanted to be an automotive journalist, but I wanted to cover the cars from a world gone away. TH-cam is like the only way that I could ever do that. There’s other platforms now which we were talking about maybe branching out and doing other platforms, but I love the community feel of what we have here that I don’t know if I want to do that.. I try to show you as much as possible. I’m a real person that this is a car community and a car channel 2nd and I just don’t want to bite off more than I can chew.. that’s one of my biggest fears is I want this channel to stay the way that it has been. I want to be involved in the community. I have no idea why more people don’t run their channels like that there’s a lot of people that turn the comments off because they can’t handle bad comments…
But the short answer to your question is how I’m just determined, motivated, very passionate about what I do and this is all I ever wanted to do and the saying is true if you find something that you love to do you never work a day in your life.. =)
@@What.its.like. Nice to see somebody your age doing this sort of thing, keep up the good work young man.
@@What.its.like. Follow your dreams Jay, you rarely get a second chance to do that. Keep the faith and the success and money will come. As much as I despise a lot of YT's policies and restrictions, it is and will probably always be the biggest vid-sharing platform and none of the others has anywhere near the same viewership. Plus some of them want money which I simply will not spend to view what should be available for free without any special membership needed.
@What.its.like. I very much appreciate your response and think you are looking at things the right way for you. As one who spent years conducting career and job search workshops across the country for people who had lost their jobs, I can tell you that finding your passion in your work is the best thing that can ever happen to you. So many are doing work that leads them to say at the end of the week, TGIF. You are fortunate, unlike so many others, to be able to say at the close of the week, TGIM... "When your Fridays are as good as your Mondays, you've got the right job." Keep enjoying every moment of it until something tells you to do it differently. PS, just to tell you, I never watch your videos on engines! I've never been much interested in how they work. Just how they look. Lol
It appears to have a wide toe-to-seat span for easy entry/egress for your feet.
This car was pretty cool
32 Studebaker
32 Nash, the Kenosha Duesenberg...
Hahaha the Kenosha Dusenberg great choices
7:46 I don't know if you noticed it Jay, but the reflection in that car door is AMAZINGLY mirror perfect.
11:03 Just DANG that paint is really GREAT on this car.
Yeah it was, the owner drives this one and loves this car he has other old cars but loves driving this one
I really like the De Soto, you made it hard to choose one of three both sets are excellent cars.
Would you rather have to be hard, Otherwise it wouldn’t be fun I’m happy you dig this episode
@@What.its.like. I do dig it after thinking about the choices, I’ve decided to take one of each 😊
DeSoto
Willys
Sweet choices
WYR I rarely do this but 33 Desoto for both choices. That DeSoto is an attractive car for its class. I don't think I ever saw one.
I am just curious, do you ,or anybody really, know what the purpose of all those wires coming out of the steering column were for.?
Awesome choices I think all of those wires coming out of the bottom is for the ground but I’m not entirely sure that’s why I didn’t say anything I’ll ask to get the correct answer
Both scenario: the DeSoto. I like the styling, simply elegant.
Sweet choices
Got me today on name that tune 😱😂 Enjoy ✌️
Everybody’s been asking for a period correct song, so I figured we would do a song from that era =)
The more I do this the more I just fall in love with 30s cars I really really want a 30s car I really wanted a Metropolitan but I think I want 30s car more .. whippets are cool
@@What.its.like. name that tune was easy it'd be no fun 😊
30s are fun but temperamental!!!
Save up for a Packard 🤔
You'll never be sad 👍
I really want an airflow if I ever get one I I will share it with everyone. I’ll take it the car shows. I’ll put signs up on the windows and say hey open up the door try it out.
Cool cars. If a trunk was installed, where would you put the spare tire?
Side mount
@@What.its.like.I see.
