- Hey! We're back, still getting old junkers to run just for the hell of it. This time it's a 1953 Ford and the fabulous flathead V8! Looks like we've got it running well enough to try to take Stella for a ride around the farmyard here...
We didn't have to buy any new parts this time, so that's a success when the budget is zero. The fancy distributor machine sure saved some messing around, too.
I sure like the sound of this old V8; good thing too because it's loud as hell since the muffler rotted away many years ago. I was pretty happy to see the Ford fire up after sitting for decades, neglected out back in the trees. This nice, untouched car could definitely be saved and is worth doing; it will need welding to the floors and rockers, etc, but overall pretty good for a car nearing senior's-discount age...
I hope you enjoy the sights and sounds of the legendary flattie as we rip around the yard a bit... no brakes on this unit so we're staying off the streets for now, haha.
Thanks again to everyone who subscribed to our little channel, and for all of your "likes" and comments. I read all of them and really appreciate that anyone would take the time to fire us a note.
All the best from all of the Agents and me and my girl Stella! More on the way soon...

In a world filled with lunacy, I come here for refuge. No matter what is going on in my tiny world, I come here and my grin grows exponentially. Thank you for doing what you do and sharing it with us all.
Hey, thanks for watching this stuff and making it worth doing, cheers!
Pha Q I come for the Cat and dog
👍👍
Had a 53 Ford just like that one in 63 only 10 years old at the time it was a great 3 speed over drive I was home on leave in November 1963 getting the Ford ready for a paint job listening to the radio heard that our president was shoot in Dallas will never forget that day
The inaugural SOS from Tom to close it out!... Here's to great cars and great neighbors🍻
driving between the snowdrifts on an oil rig service road, dark, cold , 70 miles to home in a blizzard with two packs of smokes and 12 oz of whiskey to go on. Hank on the radio singing cold cold heart. Ah for the good old days......
Sounds about right sir; all the best from us here at CWMC.
Reminds me of a couple of cars bought by a friend of mine at 0 Over 999 Sales back then. He drove them till they quit, and took the plates off. Went back and bought another one..or two...
I am really enjoying the Flat head V8 running again. This set has been great fun! And its great seeing Stella go with you for a ride! Keep Up the good work, every night I go here to see what is new! Thanks for the fun of seeing these old cars be saved and run. BE WELL!
Hey, thanks for the note, and for watching this stuff... I'll try to keep them coming... Cheers!
My first car was a 1953 Ford Customline , in 1966. Before I die, I'd like to drive one of these again! Love this story!
"Even has a holy crap handle in the back." I love that! When I was old enough to know who my grandfather was, this is the car that I remember him driving. Circa 1960.
Nice to see it come back to life. The motor when rebuilt is probably worth more than the car as there's always a demand for flatheads out there.
I like what appears to be a 1952-54 Nash you have there. Cool !
Back in 1964-65 our neighbor's son, then 17-18 had one of these Fords. After driving it for a year he left for the Army and sold it for $75 but I was too young for a license just yet. Dang !!
Loved this series on the 53 Fords, the beautiful Standard Poodle and the yard of amazing old independents. Thanks for a very entertaining program!
Sweet car and exquisite flathead sounds.
I've just discovered you guys. Thanks for keeping these cars from being crushed. I love this Ford, I used to have a 1953 Ford Mainline until someone stole it. Wish I was closer to you.
Hey, thanks for the note and for checking out the vids! Glad you liked the old Ford... Cheers from me and Stel!
That old flat head sounds sublime!
The short range fuel tank is a genius work of form and function.
man that thing still sounds amazing. youtube re-suggested it to me haha. In the realm of pure auditory bliss the Ford Flathead V8 knows no rival.
awesome!! Not a big Ford guy but you can't beat the sound of a flat head Ford and anything old is cool in my book!! great job
I really enjoy every episode of this show. I hope it becomes a tv show here in the States. Thank you guys. It ads enjoyment to my everyday.
Great job keeping the old iron from the crusher and getting them running again.
And hat's off to Stella for keeping her figure despite all the treats she consumes!
Hey, thanks for the note and hi from my girl Stel...
Dean's words of wisdom hah... came back to the older videos, Dean always cracks me up.
it reminds me of my dad's 56 mercury . he really loved that car
I'm binge watching the hell outta these. Grinning from ear to ear... I know where to tune if I need a pick me up!
What an enjoyable time watching the Ford running . the flat head V8 engine ran so quiet . I know you Agents are busy at doing your thing , I appreciate your time and for sharing the videos of all your cars . Ray in Pa U.S.A.
Hey, thanks for the note... more on the way soon if anyone wants...
Wow what a sweetheart , l grew up riding in these cars, gives me a warm fuzzy feeling,
I especially like the IV drip of Canadian gas. Its a runner!
You guys can rival top gear for entertainment value any day, simply brilliant.
I wish I could hear ir with a pair of 'Glasspacks"! Flathead Fords had their own sound.
Double thumbs up guys. It looks like you got the passenger side hood hinge sorted too. As always, it's fun to see you guys get these old babies back to working condition.
Hey, thanks! Well, running for sure, but maybe not quite "working", haha!
I never get sick of this stuff guys....it just never gets old. Stel might need a 12 step program for that " habit " of hers HAAA! Have a good guys.
Love the IV gas tank ! LOL!
Music to my ears. Nice job. Can't wait for the next rescue.
A 1953 Ford, TWO DOOR sedan, AND a V-8? 😳
That car is worth a restore.
I'm having a pleasant Sunday afternoon watching these vids in order, (finally) It's nice to see an old Cusso coming back to life. It's only a small V8 but it has a meaty growl. I also am a big fan of green on the early 50's cars. Certain shapes seem to go with certain colours.
loving all the guitar at the beginnings
Hearing that old v8 just rumbling while your driving It is loud and proud
Knowing how this car was abandoned and defunct, it is a great achievement to see her running /driving. Great job.
LOVE it. That looks pretty darn solid. Tidy up the interior and you have a daily drive,.
Well done again to the champions of preservation. Verdict, A ROUGH RIDE IS BETTER THAT A SMOOTH WALK. Full respect to you all from the UK
That is badass right there!!! Nice work, thank you for saving them sir!!
Hey, thanks for saying so, glad you liked it.
coldwarmotors are any one of your 58 Plymouth furys for sale
Dean is a powerhouse of enthusiasm.
It's great to see such a cool car brought back from the brink of oblivion.
Great series!......ah yes, the working man's car. The kind of car Ward Cleaver would drive home Friday evenings from the legion, after 7 too many, recounting his days as a Seabee on Guadalcanal............excellent work - long may they run!
Hey, thanks for the note; glad you liked it. More "Leave it to Beaver Beaters" coming soon...
I had a buddy in 1959 that had a 53 ford conv. We put duals on it, chopped 1coil out of front springs, and 56 dodge lancer hubcaps. If I remember right, we picked up quite a few chicks with that.
true man made beauty, last year of the flathead.. brings back memories of when I was a kid admiring them.to me US cars reached there peak starting in 55 though to 65...
This one needs to be crowned the " Moonshiner" Regards from Ody Slim
Loved watching this guys. Great old car and your expertise is amazing. You’re also very entertaining.
"What's it going to take to get you into this machine today?" LOL (7:24). Also, I love how you rigged that IV gas line, hooking it to the antenna above the windshield.
My neighbor had a 53 with the flat head V8 and 3 on the tree, pink with a white roof. He let it sit, outside, all winter long but come summer, he would put the battery back in, and fire it up. 1 fall, an ice storm brought a tree limb down on it; severely dented the roof, but broke no glass. It was a very neat car, sounded good with glasspacks. Oh yes, btw, the hub cap is from a 69 Plymouth Fury III or VIP. I had a green sedan, same 1's.
Always come back to this video , one of my favorites!!! Love when the old flathead roars back to life ...cheers from Calgary
Stella is the brains in this outfit.
love you guys, you're the best
Great sounding flathead, what a car, well done !
Hey, thanks, glad you liked it.
That Ford sounds the business.
I absolutely love this show! I am still getting old cars and new ones going just like you guys ,eh!
Thanks for saving these great cars from a time in history that should never be forgotten. I look forward to many more. Definitely one of your best "will it run" cars in my opinion.
Thanks for checking it out; I thought this one turned out pretty good, too. More on the way!
The hubcap is from a 1969 fury 3 like mine. We had a 1954 Ford when I was a kid. It ran great until my mom creamed the quarter panel! It had an “engine turned” dash and a Speedo with a little window on top to let in light in the day time. My Fury runs great also although the 318 has to work pretty hard to move such a heavy machine.
YES! Lovin' the sound. A field drive, or "paddock hack" is always a must, too.
Haha glad you liked it!
Your vids always make me smile. Keep up the good work!
Well done, lads! I was watching the bottle, thinking it would run out of gas. Guess it did!
Thanks so much for your videos. Really enjoy them. Keep up the good work.
1953 was Ford's 50th anniversary model year. That's what the center piece of the horn ring says.
Great to see the old car running and pretty educational too. I'd love to find something like this and just tinker on it and get it going just like this.
Hey, thanks for the note and for checking out the old Ford...
Patina is awesome. If it was sealed and frozen in time just like it is, what a cool weekend cruiser it could be.
You guys have way too much fun. Thanks for the laughs.
Another awesome video. Thanks for sharing the revival of one of Henrys classics. Keep up the great work folks! Scratches behind the ears for Stella! Chuck in Kansas
( glad Stella finally got her ride ).. You guys are the KING of Cobblers .. Another job well done
Hey, thanks for the note; glad you liked it... Cheers from me and Stella!
Thumbs up again for saving another green car. I like inline 6cyl. engines much more and was amazed that you own so many cars with that kind of engine, including the daily driver Frazer. Propably the rest of the world assumes that nearly all American automobiles run with a V8. Maybe because of the astonishing fact: Over 1 Billion !! engines have been produced to date!!
Fuck yea. I totally love all the effort you put into the vids. Big time !!! Love em all
Hey, thanks for saying so; makes all the effort and swearing and editing and bullshit worthwhile.
Love all your videos, where are you guys, Winterpig?
I was eleven years old when this car was new, so I saw lots of them everyday back in the day.
Yeah, these must've been everywhere with over 300000 produced of this model alone!
This is one of my favorites!!! would love to get one to join my 65 t bird and 62 olds strfire!!!Miss my 50 shoebox. Thanks again!!!
Awesome how Stella seems to love your passion as much as you do. Man's best friend best friend for sure
Stella sure likes car rides... the fixing part maybe not so much though...
Perhaps the best episode yet! Greetings from Nova Scotia
Another very entertaining video. Keep them coming thanks.
I was worried about Stella in that machine! lol It looks restorable. Thanks for sharing.
As an owner of a '53 Ford Custonline years ago, I appreciate your efforts. Mine always ran strong. The vacuum wipers were always fun... Happy trails!
Good job, good show. Nice dog too. Have a good day.
Great job guys.
Little interior work and a good chrome and paint job and it will be good for a show lol.
love 53's, have one, good to see another one rescude, and resurrected. great job and video.
Hey, thanks for the note and for checking out our video... Cheers from me and Stella.
awesome work sir !
2 tone green ! ! ? What strength is that beer ? No but really, love the the girl, she deserves to stay alive now.
really surprised how easy it was to get going 👍 these cars look great customized.
The best thing about that car is it has the right amount of doors!
What a sweet find, nice work getting it up and running!
Hey thanks... this one was a great bit of fun and turned out just fine.
THIS is the one I've been waiting for!!!! What an amazing car... Great style and it seems to run like a Swiss watch. I'd have to take this one up a couple more notches... Congrats!!!
That's GRAND!!! LOVE them old flatties! Thanks for the "field" test with Stella, enjoyed the heck out of it. Keep 'em coming, please!!!!!! Oh, I think that hubcap is out of a '69 Plymouth Fury 1. Had one!
Hey thanks, and you are correct about the hubcap: 69 Fury!
Congratulations guys!
love the manual choke feature, true thrifty Canada in car
I recently got the 4 door version as my first project car, cant wait to get it running
I liked the part about "what's it gonna take to get you into this vehicle today?" He should have answered, "I'll have to ask my parents about my allowance first"
Love that dog
I absolutely love your channel! The work you guys do just blows me away. Would love to see you do the old ford right with a decent paint job and interior. It is a two door ya know! Keep it up!
Hey, thanks for saying so! We'll get started on another driver here soon... maybe some proper body and paint, too...
More milk bones, let's go. Hahaha.
I love these videos. I absolutely love these kinds of videos of working on old cars that have been sitting in fields for who knows how long and seeing them start up again.
I love the old ford, thanks for saving it!
The difference between our 53 Anniversary customline in Australia, and yours, is that ours was a 4 door. I see yours was made in Canada. Never ever knew there was a 2 door.. John, Perth, Western Australia.
You guys are champs! Liked and subb'd.
Great to see that beautiful car up and running, sounds awesome! I would be very pleased to have such a fine car to drive out bush in here in central Australia, I reckon it would travel pretty well on the rough roads. I take my hat off to you blokes for getting that beast going, well done!
Hey, thanks for the note; all the best from Canada!
My grandmother had a ‘69 Plymouth Fury with hub caps very similar to your odd one.
Congrats on bringing back yet another beauty to add to the pageant!
I've been watching your videos for almost 2 years and they just get better and better. keep these going man, I love your dog too. I used to have a rottweiler that I took for rides in the bed of my truck. keep this going man. I love it
Hey, thanks for saying so... I'll keep it up if people want to see this kind of serious documentary journalism.
coldwarmotors you should keep this up. You are like my favorite channel. When I'm bored and have nothing to do I go to your channel and watch your videos. Honestly you should have WAY more subscribers than right now. And I'm pretty sure Stella likes it too. Cheers from michigan
This car deserves some cosmetic love!
The octane drip is cracking me up.
Just as easy to shop for parts as a concurrent Chevy, and your local mechanic won't kill you when you need service. You get the key parts down at your local AutoZone.
No brakes? No problem. I drove the Merc for the first year with just the parking brake to stop with. Good work. The old flathead is sounding great.
Hey, thanks for the note; glad you liked the old flattie; I was really happy how easily it came back to life!
