V8 Showdown! Winner-Take-All Drag Race! 1951 Ford Flathead vs 1958 Studebaker Champion...
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 22 ก.ย. 2023
- Hi guys! Time for the final installation of our V8 Showdown series! We took our 1958 Studebaker Champion and our 1951 Ford Victoria out to the "track" and lined 'em up... One-on-one; winner-take-all! It seems there was an unsettled score from the Straight-8-Showdown from years ago, and Agents 303 and 7678 saddled up their old rides one more time... JonathanW joined us too, from North Carolina, and we can check out his 1956 Studebaker Hawk with Packard power!
Thanks to everyone who ordered a "T" shirt... They are on their way now! We'll discuss the new calendars this week, too!
Also: We just got in a new shipment of "Same Old Shit" coffee mugs, so get them while they last, haha!
Oh! I do not have a Telegram account or any bullshit contest going! Do not respond to any of these "contest winner" replies; they are a scam.

This channel is a breath of fresh air in a world of pretentious, overhyped social media bs, thank you for all the effort !
Worded well mate❤😊
Amen
Amen indeed!
Truth!!
Kills me how Laura plays it straight, yet is funnier than if she tried to be. She's a bonus to this venture, not to say the rest of the team wasn't great! I doubt anything rehearsed could be funnier or more entertaining than the way this all turned out. Has to be one of the best videos I've seen. Congrat's to all who made this happen!!
Thanks so much! Glad you enjoyed it like we did putting this one together...Cheers!
It was great to see Laura and Darts Girl out on the field and both did a great job!
That was a hoot! Every one is a winner - the cars, both teams and of course all us viewers who have been following along all summer.
Hey thanks so much! Glad you got a laugh like we did putting it together...
Now we need a straight 6 showdown.
That was great, but now I'm kinda bummed that V8 Showdown is over!
Laura's skipping 'LOSERS' video bomb was hilarious! Sunglass Dean and Dan's stare down was pretty epic, too. Loved it! Never miss a show.. and look forward to it twice a week.
"Rebels Without a Clue", starring Dan and Dean. :)
When dan flexed his pecks 😂
Thanks to all the agents, their wives and sisters for allowing this wonderful madness to take place!
I blame it on bad Muffler Bearings & low Turn Signal Fluid ! Quite a Comedy skit Agents . it was worth the time you guy's spent on them ! Thank You .
All of us who watch are extremely appreciative of the work you put into the show.
Hey thanks so much! It was a lot of work but I wanted it to be something we could look at and enjoy years from now... Cheers!
Now that was more fun than any NASCAR race.
Man this channel is off the chain, it has big dollar builds, multiple drag races, straight 8 grudge matches and now it has its own reporter!!!! Wow man i remember the heady days of 72 fury cold starts on potato cam ( I love that car by the way!) Great work guys, absolutely stella work and a wonderful conclusion to a fantastic summer!
The Studebaker won because Laura had no sympathy for the drivetrain, lol! That was a proper full send. Love the newscasting!
Really enjoyed it Scott and the Coldwar gang!!! I couldn't imagine having to do all that editing, I would rather change the spark plugs in a Pinto with a 460!!
Haha
Hey Jonathan! Thanks so much; glad you got a laugh... I definitely needed a break from editing after that one, but I am happy with it and I wanted to do something fun after all of the work the teams put in on the cars.... Thank-you again, so much, for playing along and for going out of your way to send us footage of the awesome Hawk tearing up the back roads in North Carolina! All the very best from me and Frankers and all of the Agents...
Fan Freakin Tastic!
So now you have to plan more segments with Dart Girl and Leadfoot Laura! :)
Thanks for the entertainment, Scott and agents.
No. Fan Frankens static.
Jonathan W.'s ride through the rough is great!
Absolutely! Very cool of him to film that just for us so I could include it here... Cheers!
Something pure magic about seeing those old heaps live again.
Pretty cool....glad to see the "colab"...with you all and Jonathan W. Really enjoy your channels...
Thanks! Really enjoyed watching this about 5 times in a row! The 58 Stude looks good rolling along. A poor man's Christine.
Hey thanks so much, Kevin! Glad you enjoyed it... All the best from me and Frankers!
I like the idea of the Packard vs Buick showdown every 5 years or so 😅
We've all been looking forward to this day.
Time to race! Have a great time everyone.
Thanks for all the hard work that went into this. Have fun Franker's!
I knew the Studebaker would do it!!!! So glad it pulled it off!
Hey glad you enjoyed it!
Scott, The rolling shots of the two cars side-by-side was great. No time reference in sight. Could have been 1950’s. Shooting in black and white would be neat. Good job!
thanks to your sister and Jonathan for supporting the show down and all the other great guys that helped out. good ol fun. thanks and cheers
🤣🤣🤣 Laura does not mince words. That gal is awesome! You all looked like you had an absolute blast. Thanks for putting that all together and sharing the fun. Cheers!
Hi there! Congrats to Team Studebaker on the win! Two more of the CWM fleet that can actually move under their own power! Will there be a Straight Six Showdown next summer? Thanks to all involved in the Showdowns!
If I was team Vickie, I'd certainly be submitting an appeal and protesting a last-minute driver substitution! A ringer at that! Danica Patrick behind the wheel! WTF?!
Excellent analogy between Danica and Lead-Foot Laura!
Another epic race season in the books. Laura is a natural drag racer. She should explore it further. Looking forward to the calendar.
Great show! Big bonus for bringing the Buick and Packard to the show! And a shout out to Jonathan for joining this project.
Honorable mention to Carter Hair Styling for making the Studebaker look stunning.
Absolutely! Premium repairs as always!
Did Laura hear the whispers from long silent flat head engines and dead limited slip differentials, if you build it they will come? To have a drag track in the middle of a post harvest field is just wonderful idea. All the track needs now is lights for night racing. Great job everyone!
This was the best part of my week. Lonely old guy in a shoebox.
Love this one. The race was fun. Having Laura on is a bonus. I think I have a crush on her!
I think that Jonathan "Steam" cleaned his engine, that's why it ran so well. There is no shame Ashley and Justin losing to a "Modified" Studebaker with ported heads, 3-speed manual transmission, and the floor deleted for weight reduction.
Not to mention the "closet" Danica Patrick substitute driver!
No matter, when team Stude starts off getting the ass end sideways, it's only a question of when.
No credit for them taking the path through the stuble in the field, eh?
Lol....Ash at the end of interview!
Shorter yes, but it still made me smile like a lunatic, so I'm good with it. Thanks for the awesome show!
The Buick and the Packard both have freaking awesome grills
Great way to cap off this summer’s nonsense! Did not see Laura driving coming!
Cheers!
Edit, thanks for everything that went into this, and thanks to all the great people involved. And thanks to Studebaker for making a thoroughbred zombie that just doesn't have any quit in it's tank! Called it😂!
They both ran hard as hell for being in the grave last winter, what fun to watch all the way through!
Go Stude! Frankers coulda best the Vickie😂
Cheers to you all! Happy fall!
Hey Jonathan, that hawk man, she's gonna be a cool ride! CSA!😊
"These pieces of... engineering..."
Nice save! 😂😂
Looks like the real winners of the Showdown- as always- are the friends you made on the way. 👍
I could not contain my excitement two heart stopping races and expert commentary to boot.
Another video worth waiting for.
Scott and Agents, thanks!
And a special thanks to Jonathan W for playing along.
I enjoy watching these wonderful videos of the old cars come back to life.
Quality over quantity, that works! That was fun and Jonathan's Stude is a beast...
Great showdown series and congratz to Team Studebaker and Team Victoria for a great race and almost fell out of my chair laughing to see Dean go backwards again. Cheers.
I was a "Stude" fan right from the start. As soon as i heard it run I was sure it was gonna be the "Stude"....LOL What a great race day this is . I used to do this with a bunch of guys with C-J 5's, go out in the fields when there were no crops and tear around the farm lanes , great fun.
I’ve been Team Vicky from the beginning. Love that car! However, we did not expect a substitute driver of Laura’s caliber to step in and save Team Studebaker at the last moment. Seriously, she is a trooper and always fun to watch. Her Bob Newhart style, dry humor is hilarious. Thank you Scott and everyone else who participated in this epic series. 👍
I got the Bob Newhart reference, I wonder how many didn’t. If you didn’t, google him, he was hilarious in a different kind of way!
@@CharlesAtwell-or7bm I’m sure that you must remember the final “Newhart” show, with Suzanne Pleshette in the last scene. Comedy gold imho. I never expected that!
I wish I could like this a million times. First class entertainment!
👍 Great action work, and purty funny. Enjoyed watching and it just went by too fast. Dean the Edsel really looks nice.
Great job and Cograts to all 3 teams. JW did a great job.
Thank you Scott for all your sleep deprivation. What a great time you guys had. And that's what it's all about anyway. Laura is such a trooper! Loved her "Losers" skip!
Look forward to more car repairs! And yes, the Calendar!
Great end to a brilliant series of the V8 showdown! Laura is a true star and obviously has hidden talents when it comes to driving junkers... It's been a great summer of content, so a big thankyou to all the agents and to you Scott for livening up our Saturday evenings! Best wishes from the UK 🇬🇧
I have no idea why your subs are not in the 200k region. Awesome series, lots of fun and lots of hard work. Enjoyed it all immensely. I think I might move up there and join the club... LOL.
Great job Laura! And as always Thanks Scott and agents for putting this show together.
The best thing you have other than your extreme talent is the friends you have. And Laura. What a cool sister. Frankers, too. Can't forget her. Loved the video. Might watch it again so I get my hour . Congratulations, team Studebaker.
Nicely done with the whole thing. Nice to see the Ford and Studebaker in action. Cheers.
Hahaha, lets vote for Miles gets a post race timed lap.😛 Loved it, lots of fun episode💯
Great to see friends and family having fun together congrats on Laura’s win
You made the Studebaker Company proud!! lol Congratulations!!!
Oh! Well, we're very happy that you would say so... All the best from another Stude enthusiast!
Former race mechanic here. Laura channels actual racing driver energy brutally acurately.
The race went about the way I thought it would, however, the proxy driver for Team Stuedebaker had me smiling. Laura is always treat to happen upon in your shows, and her wonderful attitude makes her a hoot every time she makes an appearance.
Thanks to Scott and all the Agents. You've made a bunch of time incredibly interesting......at least to me.
Destined to be a CWM classic. One of your best.
Thanks so much, Glenn!
Dart girl looks great, needs to be in calendar, but only if she gives Dean his sport coat back!
Great video , Scott!
Definitely a spine tingling finale.
Dart girl asked some of the most provocative questions to the drivers between races.
As always will be looking forward to the next instalment of CWM.
Glad you enjoyed it! Cheers from everyone here...
The Studebaker team navigated its way through a grey area of the regulations there, as you must do! Team Vicky also had a questionable crew driving it, with a lot or rookie errors! The results were fair and square I say!🤣
Cheers from Argentina, agents!
Please make the Showdown a annual event. I love it.
All three of us enjoyed this, well two of us were awake. Thumbs up both teams. Uh oh Laura and Myles trashing the Vickie team. Oh man that was a great race. Thumbs up Jonathan.
Thumbs up to everyone at the races 😁
Laura's skipping past the losing team was a hoot. LOL
Fan-bloody-tastic. really well put together, Thank you very much.
Congratulations to both teams, drivers, reporters, and Jonathan W. It was great fun to watch.
That race was absolutely epic...what a great way to end the summer! Hope Laura's inaugural win doesn't go to her head 😉
Don’t think so, she seems pretty well grounded! Not likely to change much. She’s a hoot and I welcome any cameo appearance from her!!!!!
What a great video! Thank you Laura for being such a good sport! Cheers!
More Laura, please. She had me howling!!. I would have loved to have seen in car footage, the conversation would have been gold, during the race. Stay dirty 👍
A Fine Fine day, for motor car racing!!
I've been looking forward to the final part of the v8 showdown but wasn't expecting the bonus laughs from Laura!
These goofing off, humorous episodes are what keeps your channel real Scott, really appreciate all the effort eveyone puts in to make them 👍
A huge thanks to everyone involved in the V8 Showdown! I think I laughed all the way through it. Very entertaining, and definitely worth all the hard work and lack of sleep. Great stuff!
Sketchiest field rally of old canoes but I love it regardless. It was all about fun and accomplishing something. I might say you inspired at least me to tear down a old v8 and make it at least run on it's own power. Very good montage and now you have more cars that run and are not a stagnant garden decoration. JohnathanW has a very good transmission and it would be hard to beat him in the race anyway.
Brilliant bit of fun scott and the agents looking forward to seeing what you bought from the auction cheers from the UK 🇬🇧
Coming soon!
Laura is hilarious as usual. A perfect show, it was awesome having Jonathan a part of the competition too. It doesn't get any better than this.
Team "Get out of my yard with your junk"! 🤣 I was smiling/laughing the whole show, great job Scott and Agents! Cheers from Lubbock!
Way to go team Studebaker! 👍
Oh God that was hilarious - thanks Scott and the agents. Scott, I appreciate the editing side of things, it can be very time consuming. Especially when you want to hit a deadline. Thanks for working so hard so we can all sit on our arses and watch you guys goofing off. Best channel on TH-cam. Mart in England.
Awesome video,and a great conclusion to the V8 showdown. Keep up the great work.
Great show Scott. Appreciate the amount of time you put into entertaining us all here in YT land.
Congrats to the Studebaker team and Laura, for playing along so well with the madness. 😁😁
Het thanks! Glad you enjoyed it...
This is what I've been waiting for LET'S GO
Awesome, thank you all 💯👏 New match born already for Summer Showdown 2024! Can't wait to see the next leg - a Slant Six Showdown or a pair of 'Ferocious Fours' 😀
Man that was a fantastic conclusion to the v8 show down. Great to see both these cars back to field beating. Keep up all the fantastic work and content.
Thanks! Will do!
THUMBS UP ACROSS THE BOARD!!!! Team Studebaker, Team Vicky, Team Jonathan & his Rudebaker!!!! Cheers to Laura for her driving skills to pull this victory off!!!!
Thumbs up to Team Franker's for her donation of tires from the Classic Tire Division!!!
Cheers to Scott, for the fine programming and content on this channel!!! Sorry Tom, this is not the Same Old Shit, this channel never stops amazing and entertaining me!!!! (I do learn some stuff here too.)
Nice job, Scott and Agents! A great wrap-up to the Summer Showdown.
Scott what a success the V8 showdown was. Laura driving was a surprise I would have never been able to guess. I really enjoyed the livestream a couple of days ago. It was one of your best. You were relaxed and had the opportunity to give us long answers and thoughts and I loved it. It was totally by chance that I caught it because we didn't know you were going to do it. I never want to miss a CWM livestream ever !! Like I said the other night, no matter how many channels I watch or even subscribe to CWM will always be my number ONE! I realize it is a huge effort and it takes a lot of your time to do this channel for us. But it is appreciated by all of us. We love everything you do on this channel. None of it is mundane in any way. I don't care if you are block sanding or pounding out dents or polishing chrome it is a learning experience for all of us. Scott, Myles, Dean, Ashley, Justin, it just doesn't get any better than you guys. Cheers from W.Va.
Hey thanks so much! Glad you enjoyed this one... Cheers!
This is greatest program you may have put out to date!! So so good. Loved the commentaries and coverage before and after was truely epic. Thanks for all the effort it really showed in the production of this!!!
Hey, glad you enjoyed it! Lots of work, but I am happy with how it turned out, for sure!
This was such an awesome race! A perfect end to the v8 challenge. Impressive efforts from both teams and Jonathan. Well worth the efforts. this is an enjoyable episode for all. Thank you!
Loved it! Fantastic job Scott!! I appreciate all the work that went into the V8 Showdown. What an amazing group of friends to share such a fun adventure with.
What an Epic end to a great "Will they run" series.The 2 'Flat-8's still starting and driving 2 years later was a nice bonus.All the hard work paid off.Thank You All for the work too.Such a great group of friends! Can't wait for Laura to review the '37 now.Maybe a couple corner drifts to see how it handles?TY 'Jonathan W' for endangering your Gem ride for an epic rip.Cheers everyone!!
Hi Agents Absolutely brilliant effort by all for pulling this off and for "Hot Rod Laura" (T shirt idea ) stepping in to the breach late in the game. Also loved the fact agent JW got involved from 2k miles away. i love the stuff you do , keep it up . thanks for another winning CWM video.
So good i watched it twice.
Awesome race! Congrats to both of the teams!
That was GREAT! Nice to see the girls got involved in the production. Laura may have a new career as a race car driver! Excellent production! Thanks you Scott and all the agents for making this happen for us!
No need to apologize Scott. Very well put together. The best show on showdown. We can watch this over and over and have to, it’s going down as a cult classic of CWM and TH-cam. This was well worth waiting for. The sound you got from them junkers was right on spot. Love the sound of yesterdays. Thanks to all again, this was/is awesome!!!!!Cheers again to all!!
I've been looking forward to this all summer and wasn't disappointed, surprisingly close, what a great sport Laura is and champion to boot
I new it was worth getting up early to watch this, well done!
Alright!!!! Congrats Laura and Studebaker!!!! What a great v8 showdown series!!! Loved it!!!!
Ya think Myles injury was staged to bring in The "Ringer"!
I wish...
@@mylesmoparfreak6562 Hi Miles I know your injury is real... guy was making a joke...
I'm looking forward to seeing the '66 Fury done!!!!! You've done great work on her so far
.. and you've got the best metal worker on the planet doing the patch work ie.. genders etc. And the headliner looks great!!!!
@@mylesmoparfreak6562 You're a better man than I am Myles! Hope you mend quickly so you can pursue your dream of playing on the Men's Canadian Olympic Volleyball team!😉
Hey thanks guys, appreciate the concern!
I know how lucky i am to have Scott's assistance. It def fired me up to get back on finishing my Fury project
The production quality of the V8 Showdown is well above sub par. Hilarious video, guys! Can't wait for next year's showdown! Cheers!
