- Hi everyone! This week I got to hang out with Dean and check out his new car when he dropped off a hood for the 1951 Packard! All hands on deck for the Citroen DS project before we hit the road for Montreal, and a terrific example of a Classic Atlas Weathergard snow tire from the 50s!

Hey, I once did Edmonton to Dorchester New Brunswick in 48 hours. 4,697 km
You need two drivers and one needs to spend 7 hours, Sault St Marie to Ottawa, during the night, doing 90+ mp/h.
He also needs to do about 38 hours of the driving.
Google says 48 hours but doesn't account for every minute stopped getting gas makes it hard to keep a 100 km/h average.
At 12:07 - Here in Brazil we say that these tires that are quite worn are from the "Kojak" brand. It is a joke that makes reference to the police TV series of the 70s, whose protagonist was the actor Telly Savalas whose character had that name and was bald ....
We called them Maypops when I was a kid in Alabama.
@@andyfloyd8583 we here in(Pleasant Grove) SE Dallas Tx. ,we also called them Maypops & also I use to say HELL I can see air through the baldness, Hell it will get you to a Tire shop, MAYBEEEEEE??????Then POP....NOT.....
Vitor, we called them Kojaks here in England too.
@@andyfloyd8583 maypops is what we called generic tennis shoes. here on the eastern Shore of maryland. I'm betting it derived from calling busted tires maypops.
I just realized that this show is my favourite weekly sitcom!
We should all be so lucky as to have some like Tom as a neighbor. He probably would loan you his lawn mower, brings your mail in when you’re absent and hands out full size Snickers bars on Halloween.
After 65 years of loving the DS-19, I am still perplexed how Citroen ever got this project of the ground. Nothing to do with like and/or dislike, the complexity of how this vehicle was mass produced.( Not a single car has the same amount of spot-welds). My friend Pat is restoring one and yesterday I studied the forged suspension arms ( same on the SM) Not once have I seen a "bend" one. They move on needle bearings. As Scott pointed out, the rubber they used had to be one of the best qualities on earth . I wish you smooth sailing en route to YUL.
Greetings from a warm YVR, The paint job on the car is almost sinful , the leather is delicious,
what a beautiful job you boys did, Chapeau!
Bas.
The shortest and most anticipated hour of my week
Tom's getting more done on his project than I am on mine. I better get my ass in gear
In 1972 I worked as service station attendant at an Enco station (Esso in Canada) where we sold a lot of those Atlas Weathergards. We'd even put studs in them before we mounted them if the customer wanted studs.
I lived in Kansas when I was a kid.. The Standard station sold Atlas tires..
@@sirloinofbeef3862 Standard and Enco were the primary sellers of a whole line of Atlas products. Tires, batteries, tire tube patch kits(remember those?)
I went into some sort of Acid Trip Flashback while watching this video. I've got a doctor's appointment for Monday!
Dean's "New" Buick is decent and should be a great running car. Tom is making progress on the Impala, it's a great car. The DS is spectacular and the goddess.
Some version of Dean is sitting on the shoulder of every car lover reminding us of our roots. He may not have the technical and financial resources some of us have built up over the years, but he is completely honest about who he is> he is 110% dedicated to his cars (lives a hard life for them)> and there's no question they'd be fucked without him! Popular/valuable or not, they're a lot nicer to look at in one piece than smashed into a cube and he's saved a ton of them, bless his big goofy heart.
Here we are, the final Sunday. It's been an incredible journey and now the reward.
Have a great trip to Montreal. Thanks for including us along the way.
Bloody hell, Scott I gotta hand it to you, for most blokes they would of lost their drive and handballed it on after realizing what nightmare they picked up not even looking at another project for months.
Many of the posts mention the Citroën and the spring spacers on the Chev. What I've never seen on anyone's DS videos is the simple though ingenious mechanism that adjusts the oil feed to keep the car level no matter the load. It is easy enough to see from inside the trunk after removing a metal panel. Small torsion rods are anchored to the centers of front and rear anti-roll bars. The end of each rod has a small lever arm inside a cover in the wheel well. The lever arm works a spool valve with oil feed and release tubes in the body. When a load is added, the roll bar turns, moves the lever arm, the valve puts more oil in the suspension, (technical term = oleo struts). As the axles drop, car rises, the roll bars turn/torsion rods/levers shut the oil flow off. As the car moves down the road some oil pressure is lost, so one can hear the main pump cycle on and off to intermittently re-adjust/maintain the pressure in the central accumulator. This circuit also connects to the brakes, so that braking pressure adjusts to axle loading. Also runs the power steering. A separate pump runs the gear shifting and (i think) the de-clutching, which is modulated by a sensor/valve in the throttle linkage. Riding in the car one may hear funny noises like slurp, hiss, gurgle, jingle, jingle.
The DS is really coming together like a dream. Hats off to everyone helping out. That's a lot of work there and something to be proud of.
uh... we watched. It was an unforgiving nightmare. Much better now though...
Once upon a time, I had an '87 Buick Century with the 3800 in it. Bulletproof engine. I loved that car. Dean's got himself a good one.
The DS is looking great!
The DS project is turning out amazing! It's now a better car than it was new. You guys are masters of your various automotive skill sets. Congratulatioons!
Man the couches in that DS look amazing!
An absolutely remarkable job on that Citroen DS!!
This week, Scott forgets how to drive! Really looking forward to seeing the road trip video of that stunning DS. The new owner is a very lucky guy.
And now I want a DS. In that gorgeous blue.
Tom's '60 is so worth a splash. Those cars are beautiful.
Yeah, but the ‘59’s are even cooler. She’s a two-door coupe, that’s what makes her so sweet!
@@superhet7281, I'm a 1959 model myself That my friend is Right 59 sooooo much cooooler ........
The DS looks incredible! You all should be extremely proud!
I really don't recall how I came across your channel, but it has become one of my favorite times of the week when your videos arrive! First off, I can't begin to say how amazing it is that you can do the level of bodywork you do! I have never seen this type of work, and I appreciate you "inviting" me in to see what is involved. Your methods really ARE amazing. Second, I love the variety (segments) you include on your videos...those are fun! And Frankers is a good host ;) Finally, something about your mannerisms and speech remind me SO much of my older brother who raised me (and who passed in 2001)...there HAVE been times when you've said something that actually made me gasp and rewind a bit to see if I'd heard what I thought. So...thank you for the fun, and for reminding me of good things, Scott. Tell the agents thank you for the fun, and give Frankers a treat from me!
back in the 70s we used too buy those twist in spacers to give the car what we called a compotion rack
Typical tick from a a 283 rockers. Such a nice Impala Tom. Good to see you all finish the Citroen. Nice work. Interior and all the detail work from the Cold War Motors team just excellent. Hope the owner exchange goes well. Kudos again.
I love Scott! "OK set the hood on the Hudson....Don't scratch it" Hee hee
The spring spacers on Tom's Chevy: back in 1970, kids would buy those things at the auto parts store and put them in the rear coil springs on their cars to provide clearance for big wide 50 series tires.
I am always looking for new channels to watch and I hit the motherlode with yours. You have the kind of friends and projects that I would love to have. Thanks for the hours of great content.
More quality viewing pleasure. The DS will turn a few heads. Bon voyage!
Dean is now driving a doctors car he has really made it now
Meh, someone will show up with a fistful of cash and he'll be back in the Saturn.. lol
E IT TO DEAN@@jackshaffer9466 NO WAY IT WIL BE AN LTD LEAV IT TO DEAN AND IT WILL BE FUNNEY
Dr. Flipske MD (Mad Dude)
Can't wait to see Tom's 60 Impala again, really good car to restore.
The only guys who give each other junk tires as gifts. One of the many reasons why I love this channel. #MyClassicTire
Being the owner of a 48 flathead Ford V8 coupe ( New Zealand assembled out of Commonwealth plant in Canada) I stumbled across your episode with the 41 Merc cpe (something we did not get here because of the war). Since then I've just about watched all your other ones. Love the Fury build, you are a true craftsman. We got Canadian Chrysler products here too, as a kid, a bloke up the road owned a 61 Desoto Diplomat a yellow and cream one which left a big impression on me. There was also a light green Dodge version around ( not sure what the Canadian model name was but I remember older "kingsway"s). Keep them coming as I look forward to your updates. That Dean is a laugh and a half too. Best wishes from New Zealand.
25-30 years ago my parents had a 1989 Oldsmobile 98 with mostly identical mechanicals to Dean's Buick. It had beautiful upholstry, a comfortable ride, and the requisite, sad made-by-Mattel dashboard. (GM always has to shoot themselves in the foot right in front of the person making the payments with their krappy dashboards.) They were kind enough to lend it to me for a little trip down from Lansing to Indiana and Ohio. I filled it up when I left and when I got back: 29.5 MPG USA gallons. They put only 135,000 or so miles on it. Unfortunately, they sold it to one of their not-very-careful grandsons who soon ran it into the ground.
Sunday morning
Vegemite on toast, coffee and Coldwar, great start to the day 👍
The DS is beautiful.
Thanks Scott. All's good. Cheers. 🍺
Another great video! Safe journeys next week!
Thanks again for another hour of wonderful Canadian auto stories. We are going to miss the Citroën and all of you guys detail work. Until the next video, adios amigos.
Scott you should spend the time sometime cleaning all your collector cars tires with westleys bleach white and then soak them in tire shine to slow down the rotting process! Also would be a good idea to slather a little used oil around the glass and under the trim! I am amazed your cars hold up so well in Canada. Those cars have been gone in Virginia since the 70's, they just totally rot down here from humidity I guess!
Always look forward to your videos Scott. I see you mentioned on a few other sites.. 👍👍👍👍
What a treat! Tom's car is absolutely stunning. Hope he can keep it inside. Good to see him back. You are a very kind man Scott to help him out. Dino is something else-quite the Santa with the hood and tire-Thanks Dean! Please put logs or tires or bricks under the rear of that Chrysler. I realize you are not going to fix her-but she deserves better than with her back on the ground! Thanks for that.
The DS-there are no words to describe with full attention what YOU and your helpers have built. A lot of miles to drive her . But better than a trailer. What are you going to do with the FRANKERS-taking her?? I sure she would love the leather.
No apologies about future videos needed. Totally understood.
Just know you make my weekend by sharing as well as others also I am sure!
Thank you again Scott-be safe and well! Rich
The interior of the DS is spectacular. The aircon integration is as good as anyone could wish for too. Well done 👍 I
What beautiful cars! The Impala looks like a remarkable find and you can just smell the leather in the exquisite DS! The engine bay! The stunning paint job. I can’t get enough of these ‘so natural’ videos. They really are The Best.
Wow!! The production values. Great introduction to Dean's greasy flips and Classic Tire. Good work. I almost felt inappropriate sitting in the recliner in my underwear watching this. I promise next Saturday to wear a jacket and tie... well, maybe some socks.
The Citroen is looking good agents 👍👍😎
Grand episode The DS, Man oh Manischewitz, what a sweetheart, and the interior lighting I'm speechless
That Dean machine Buick, they were a good car back in the era
Great footage of my classic tire that tire sure looks good
Tom's 60 Chev will make a fun runner when it's sorted out. Hey, be safe on your journey to Montreal we all will be here when ya get back.
Love this channel and at least when he says "it is what it is" he isn't referring to so many avoidable deaths etc...from covid here in the USA. The coolest narrations concerning autos on youtube.. Brilliant friendly and one learns to appreciate such a diverse amount of stuff.
One of the very best "shows" on youtube.
The Citroen owner is going to be so bloody happy with his car, i cant put into words how gorgeous that car is and i believe even better than when it left the factory ....
The road trip will be epic content !
Frankers best show host 2020 😍
Those spacers in the springs of Tom's chevy are what we used to do to lift the front ends of our cars back in the late 60's. We used to like the look of a raised front. You just put them in the spring and give them a twist with a breaker bar and they pop right in. Haven't seen those in years! I was still driving my parents 64 Ford Fairlane 500 and I could pop those in when I went out and take them back out when I got back home so dad wouldn't shit green monkeys.
Terrific teamwork on that beautiful DS! Talk about "All hands on deck"!
That Packard hub cap cleaned up beautiful!
Best of luck and drive safely on your trip to Montreal! Looking froward to hearing about it!
The DS looks Stunning! Friday is the last hot day, then it cools off. so you won't need that AC!
If you're driving thru Ottawa,consider stopping off in Arnprior and try Wes's chip truck.Making fries since 1960 and selling them out of a '56 Ford truck.
Choice Citron...Exceptional restoration Cold War Motors!
A DS marathon .......... I am not a Citroen fan ....but the display on this restoration is awesome , the work that goes into getting this type of vehicle restored cannot be measured... outstanding !!!!!
the Atlas Weatherguard Plycron is a showroom piece !!!!!!
its a keeper .......amazing ...it cleaned up to appear new er ....showroom fresh ???
awesome channel here , best you tube .........Keep 'em coming !!!!!!///
stay safe out there
The DS is looking fantastic,well done to everyone involved,another great CWM episode.
Love the artsy tire /wheel segment,very well done.
Plans are made and then they change... just happy to see the Citroen close to a finish line given even if it means a note in the glove box or history cellar as to things that would complete a car that took the hours it did to come back.
Gotta love the way Dean coordinates car color with shirt color. Nice!
Cold War Motors... building a better mouse trap!!!
Tom picked an excellent car to restore. The frame looks solid. And the aftermarket is full of sheet metal pieces for these cars. And like your Fury, if Tom wants to take the restoration that far, that Impala is a high dollar car when restored.
Frankers has met her match in that other dog i fear 😂 it’s worked out grabbing her ears is very effective!
Look forward to more of Tom’s Chevy resurrection.
The Citroen’s interior is fabulous! Looks like a vintage Art Deco cinema with the luxurious seats and the soft lighting, beautiful dash too.
Mad to think as i type this on Sunday at lunchtime-ish that it’s finished ?! Bring on the road trip 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
The Dean's Greasy Flips title sequence nicely emulates drunk spins
Next time Dean comes for a visit to Williams Lake my stepfather has some Packard rims in really good shape and they have some classic tires on them for you
My Classic Tire, WOW!, such great camerawork and editing!!
Man soo good to se you and ol Tom messin arround that chevy! He is so exited like a young boy this impala is bringing new life to the ol chap they two deserve atention Same ol shit!! The citroen is comin along sweeeet!! Cheers!! .
Fantastic. The ol, D.S is looking sharp. Can't wait until it's finished. 👍
Another episode of the happenings in Alberta. Fine and dandy!
Couldn't have gotten a better looking hood for the packard. That thing matches the rest of the car perfectly like it came off it originally or something
When I see Dean, I hit like.
Honestly I hit like every time, but Dean makes it instant.
Tom's Impala looks good & the Packard dosen't look too shabby either ... sup Frankers...
What a treat 👍!
Wow, you guys did an absolutely amazing job on the Citroen!
The rust repear on the Impala will keep you busy for a week 😉
Love the classic tire segments!!!!
Dean is moving up in the World
Did anyone else get a palpable "French vibe" when you first look at a pudel with a nice hairdo, than you dive in to a DS engine compartment, and finally we get a look inside said DS with the narrator pointing out details with a lit cigarette...oh lal a!
And another thing, if people at future car shows ask -Where was this wonderful DS built? And you show them a photo of Dean sitting in his "new" forklift in front of the shop and the yard surrounding it, they'll look at you funny and call you a liar...LOL! I love it!
Really nice 60 Impala ,
At 14:46 I had an involuntary shiver due to the way you said "Atttlas Weatherguard"... Reminded me of those "unguarded" years before "All Season" Radial tires were invented, and SERIOUS thought had to be done regarding what rear rubber one was going to risk the Winter Weather with. From watching your vids, it seems that "All Season" radials still don't "cut the mustard" up there, but down here in the Middle Atlantic States, we're covered probably about 95+% of the time with "All Seasons"..27:17 that goopy mess not good. Don't know how water would get in there unless trans cooler sprung a leak.. And those springamathings are spacers that you can install by inserting ratchet-extension and turning.
Indexing the vermin mesh! Love it 😄
Fine time spent around the yard, enjoying the marvel of the new Dean Machine, coupled with authentic CWM 'Cinéma Verité' 👍
Hi Scott. The hood fairy! Excellent. I'm looking forward to Dean's Tbirds. Road trip, much needed vacation. Tom's Chevy needs a radiator and heater core. Floorboards might be a challenge for him. I hope you have time for it. You should make a list of all your cars,(in the yard). I hope you get the retro gas station closed in too. The Cold War is heating up!
That DS is just so beautiful. Amazing work, team!
Love the IMPALA!
Toms Chevy is awesome what a find!! Love the drive over to check up on the progress...Love the channel people don't understand how less is more! Keep up the timeless footage!
man...the DS is something else. those rocket turn signals, really the whole car, make me think that the DS is what a person of the 1930's would imagine a space ship of the 1960's would look like. the dash is a jewel...multiple jewels...I don't even know how half of it would work!
Screw in spring spacers. Remember them well, maybe mostly a 60's GM thing. J.C. Whitney, sold in sets of 4. Citroens were seldom seen where I grew up, so no memory recall fondness for me. I can appreciate, though, all the insane hours you put in, maybe just enough to know not to own one. Excellent job by the whole Coldwarmotors team. Have to say, it's got some pretty cool design features, and the car really looks sharp. Great color that sets that beautiful interior off nicely. (When I was a kid they sort of reminded me of those bugs you'd see when you flipped over a big rock),
Those spacers in Toms car were to jack up the spring/rear end a bit. Like shackles, old school. Tom and Dean are a hoot.
My grandpa had the twist spacers under his 48 chevy, made the car ride higher.
Tom's back overseeing proceedings at CWM, the world's a better place. Enjoying the DS conclusion, fantastic work and fascinating viewing it's made. Well done. Very, well done! Onwards...
That Packard hood matches that car perfectly....
Dean, congrats with that Buick..
Frankers does seem to like it. She probably wanted to go for a drive.
Wow! That snow tire cleaned up pretty good.
Oh, thanks for the heads up about the reduction in your videos. I probably would have been like, what's up???
I was disappointed there was no project this summer. I thought they were going to try and outdo themselves after the straight eight challenge!
Oh, well the Citroen "build-and-drive-across-the-country-challenge" was way more work and didn't leave time this year... We'll definitely do another Team Challenge very soon! Cheers...
@@coldwarmotors life gets busy. Do what you feel you can, then kick back and enjoy yourself...
Be well...
Mmmmmm, strawberry milkshake, I hate radiators with the transmission cooler across the bottom. One of my biggest fears is my transmission turning into a milkshake maker. I can't believe the DS is going to be leaving so soon.
Even today the Citeon looks futuristic.
I love that impala its so amazing how good it runs
My dad sold Citroen’s when I thort it was for pissing out of only and I saw nearly new examples of th3 one you have been rebuilding and I know how well you have done ITS A MIRACLE!!!.the French owe you big
I have a 60 Biscayne. Love the 60 Impala. Keep the updates comin'.
