I think you almost got it It's County Fair
Hey man congratulations you got it I’m impressed I was thinking about doing Palisade Park but that was too easy.. lol =) I really like that song
The spelling is wrong I’m dyslexic I saw the right thing before I read Andrea comment
Haha that song will probably be name that tune again it gets hard to remember what songs were part of that lol
Well done 👏👏👏 🏆
My folks bought theirs used for $375 in 1937, black with red pin-striping. A Navy Pharmacist Mate, with a wife and one son they were transferred many times. He sold the car in 1947 with over 250K miles on the odometer and Wolf's Head motor oil in the crankcase. He was riveting new brake linings on the shoes while Pearl Harbor was being attacked. Post WWII a fellow officers new Mercury was totaled from the back. Dad was able to obtain the new engine for $40 and replaced the tired Ford unit. The manual engine crank was used many times, batteries were stolen, no interstate, limited roadside services. Thanks. Narragansett Bay
Thank you so much for sharing that story what great memories I never even thought of batteries being stolen but that would be a thing I guess because those hoods don’t lock..
Back in the 1990s i got a 1950 Chevy a 1938 ford a 1936 Ford, when you drive one of those old cars lts like getting in a time machine you feel different ( it's hard to explain but its a super exciting feeling) im not a mechanic and have zero experience working on cars but i charged the waterpump on the Chevy it's so easy a child can do it , i love this channel its got very good information
Thank you so much Joe I really appreciate that you did the channel thank you so much for sharing your memories with those three cars I totally agree I have a 52 Chevy 1 ton truck and I just got back from a drive in it. I absolutely love that truck as my daily truck it’s so different than anything else. Best part about it is when you’re driving anywhere specially when you get in town and there’s 1 million other cars around you you’re the only one in something different. Looks different sounds different acts different drives different and I absolutely love it. Another positive when you go to a store when you look out in the parking lot very easy to find =)
My family's daily driver in the late '40's - early '50's. As a kid, I would sit on the trunk lid and pretend I was driving a stage coach. It was stolen around '51. Wish I had it today!
Awesome memory thank you so much for sharing that with us..
I always loved the Greyhound hood ornament it gives the car so much class.
Absolutely lethal if you are hit by the car, the greyhound is a spear sticking way out in front.
1936 Chevy love those artillery wheels and the Studebaker 🤔
Studebaker straight 8 was a great little motor 👌
Another great episode 😉👏👏👏
Glad you dig this episode the 41 Packard’s coming tomorrow
I really want to cover a Studebaker dictator before the years over those are interesting sweet choices and I’m with you I love the artillery wheels
Ford always had the best styling for my money (maybe except for the '38)in the '30s.
I had one in my shop about a year ago. Just to work on the drive line we first scrapped off a 5 gallon bucket of dried grease. This was a solid car in its day
Crazy story thank you so much for sharing that memory it’s funny because I’m dealing with grease right now for the truck.. =)
The item in the center of the dashboard is a factory installed AM radio. The left knob below the channel dial is the on/off and volume control, the right knob is the radio station selector. Radios were first installed in automobiles in the 1931 Hudson. FM radios would not be available for several more decades.
I wasn’t asking what the radio was I was asking what the knob was for at the top right hand side above the radio..
Cool cars!!
I always thought that '36 Fords were beautiful. The first one I ever saw was in about 1966 or '67 on a vacation with my parents. We were stopped overnight at a Best Western in Kansas on our way to Ohio to visit relatives. I saw this car parked about two rooms down from us. It was a bright red (probably non-factory color) Four door convertible sedan '36 Ford. I was just absolutely taken with it! The only reason I knew what it was, was because my Dad told me (He was born in 1922 and knew his cars pretty well from the late 20's to the mid 60's.).
Great story thank you so much for sharing that memory =) I can’t wait to try this out in a four-door I wonder if there’s more room which would be absolutely insane
Center dial is the AM radio. I grew up with AM still the only choice, besides shortwave for overseas broadcasts. The best stations were the Clear Channels, meaning they shared their frequency with no other broadcaster and could turn up the power. The strongest ever civilian Clear Channel AM was WLW in Cincinnati, Ohio. For a time it broadcast with 500,000 watts and could be received as far as Bangor, Maine, El Paso, Texas and Miami, Florida. But the FCC eventually reeled them in because WLW was bleeding over into other frequencies. Clear Channel AM still exists, but not much power or content anymore. Except, WSM in Nashville broadcasts the longest continuously running radio show on this planet. THE GRAND OL' OPRY is 97 in September.
I knew that one I should’ve been a little bit more specific I said radio the top switch above the throttle control adjacent to the cigarette lighter =)
A good looking ford. looks better than some of their current line up.
In my opinion it looks better than just about everything I was gonna say the Mustang looks good but I don’t like the new ones 2016 mustang looks good lol =)
I believe the switch is really a dummy cover. In some 36 Fords, I’ve seen the ignition switch there. In this case, I believe it’s there to balance the instrument cluster. WYR is Ford and Ford for me this time around. Thank you as always - well done and I greatly appreciate the time and effort you put into these ~ Chuck
What another treat !
Glad you dig this episode =)
In 1971 a friend’s father reminisced about the ‘36 roadster he had in his youth.
Red body, black fenders…
“Hit would really put its yeers back”.
His current car in 1971 was a dark blue mid 60’s Buick Wildcat.
That was a hard one but I knew the harmony 🤔I think ...🤷
Custom Machine by the Beach Boy's little Deuce Coupe Album 🙏🤞🤞🤞
It’s definitely a beach boys song.. super underrated
I wouldn't call on the bumpers, over-riders, I would call them bumper guards. That is a Radio on the dash. One knob is for on-off volume and the other is for tuning the radio.
I should’ve been more clear the switch that’s right above the throttle I have no idea what that does it’s adjacent to the cigarette lighter on the other side I know the radio is in the center of the controls are below it =)
1) Ford 2) Nash "It'll overheat if you look at it the wrong way"... lol... truth! Awesome car!
Great choices I was going to word that differently like if you think that it’s running great the moment you think that it’s going to overheat.. it happened to me once I was like man this thing is running great it was like 90° outside moments later it was overheating
I like the Plymouth and the Nash (for the funky grill and front fenders) but all of these cars are pretty cool.
That 55 -160 is am radio dial. Is it an unrestored survivor? That windshield A sticker is a WW2 gas ration sticker. Beautiful original example it appears to be.
Gage reads from 55 to 1600...definitely a AM radio.
Yes I know that doesn’t a.m. radio the switch above the throttle control I have no idea what that does
I like the flip up front window and 'ejectomatic front seats.
Gotta be the Ford. The overheating is easily corrected and hydraulic brake kits readily available
One of my favorite Fords of the 30's... we'll balanced design!
I agree
I read they moved the engine 5.5 inches towards the nose of the car making the body bigger not sure if they translated into cabinet space or trunk space.. because the space situation was very similar in a 35 ford Tudor
Another great car feature from the era. Nice there are still a lot of these cars still not restomodded , customized or a LS under the hood. Wonderful preserved paint patina and freshened interior The "gauge" in the center is the AM radio dial. First the Plymouth , the second the 36 Nash LaFayette.
I should’ve been more specific I know the radio was in the middle I’m talking about the switch that’s right above the throttle control... adjacent from the cigarette lighter on the right hand side
Great choices and I totally agree I don’t really care for the customized ones I hate it when people put different wheels on these cars like this car with Craig or SS wouldn’t look good in my opinion
@@What.its.like. My bad on the radio, I would'nt know what that switch would control without being in the car, but I really dig the episode. Look forward to the 41 Packard,, my favorite year and the Super Clipper 2 door fastback is my favorite model.
Love these old Ford V8s and the Greyhound.
It’s a great looking hood ornament I love the V8 badge right underneath it
Great vid!!! 👍👍
Glad you dig =)
Choices, the Lafayette and the Studebaker.
The feature car is a Ford Standard, not a De Luxe. The exterior tells are the painted grille and windshield frame. The interior tells are the lack of front armrests and dashboard center trim. The car does have a number of options/accessories encluding the hood ornament, radio and right sun visor and taillight.
Thank you so much I was leaning towards model 48 classic auto mall has it listed as a standard so that’s what I was going off of but it has a lot of parts that shouldn’t be on there like it’s a very mixed bag. And lots of options and accessories as you mention great choices too by the way I would love to find a 36 Lafayette to review classic automotive had one but it was resto mod it and when I saw it I almost cried because everything that made that car beautiful whoever did it got rid of all of the charm that that car possessed.
The moment I saw this channel and the super amount of information, I immediately became a subscriber ,im letting my friends know about this channel. I'm sure they're going to love it too ,I used to collect old newspapers from the 1950s and before and I remember lots of times when they reported a car accident the car motor would end up flying out of the car in years after that Era it didn't happen or it was a rare occurrence.
Thank you so much =)
I was born way too late I absolutely love Classic Cars especially cars from the 30s and 50s but we’re gonna try to cover everything from 1930 to 1964-ish but we’re gonna do cars outside of those parameters as well but I want to cover every single car if possible some cars are extinct.. The weirder the better.
It’s about preservation I try to run this channel as a community were 342 episodes in at this very moment September 21 is our second year anniversary I try to make five videos a week sometimes more sometimes less and at least one engine episode on Wednesdays.. we used to do these episodes called discussion episodes on Fridays but I got really busy this summer and I wasn’t able to do that but I would love to go back to that outside the box kind of episode. Plus it breaks up the cars as well it’s still talking about cars but we’re not talking about this particular car in the discussion episodes.
If you ever just wanna talk cars I don’t know if you have Facebook you can click the link send me a direct message or shoot me an email I’m a real person =)

Jack Nicholson is driving a '36 Ford Roadster in the movie Chinatown.
The greyhound is the Lincoln greyhound, Henry Ford purchased Lincoln motor company in the 1920s and Edsel made the decision to put the greyhound on which Jaguar later copied
Awesome information
The guards are also different where they meet the running boards...more curve...
We have a 36 Phaeton and yes it was the last year for a Phaeton. I was always told that mid 36, not 35, Ford went to inserts instead of rabbit bearings.
Yeah it’s conflicting when ford started that
How do you like your phaeton
We love it.@@What.its.like.
I absolutely love the V8 Fords but I’ve wondered so many time why Ford ran the leaf springs transverse side to side?
The worst design in the world with all the side to side rocking
I have attended several early Ford V8 shows at Dearborn I have my grandfather’s 1940 Ford deluxe convertible and no one could ever tell me why run the springs sideways. Thank you so much for the wonderful channel and the content you are sharing.
Thank you so much for the positive vibes I think Ford did it because it was a carryover from the T if it ain’t broke don’t fix it.. it took Ford until 1939 to go to hydraulic brakes.. were Chrysler was hydraulic brakes from the get go.. doing this channel I’ve learned a lot about automotive history =)
I just love the 35 looks. The next favorite would be the 37, 41 and 48.
I love the 37 teardrop headlights =)
Ford also had a Phaeton in '36. We had one. My father restored several V-8 Fords from the 1930's when I was a kid in the 1960's.
Yeah I couldn’t figure out what we’re just deluxe body styles and what we’re just standard body styles The sources were very conflicting on this car specially about the models and the standard deluxe thing it’s super confusing but thank you so much for including that
@@What.its.like. I think 1936 might have been the last year for Phaetons with Ford, so that might explain things. I have never seen a '37 Phaeton, ever.
What a wonderful car it's in good condition with a few flaws. A driver that you can actually use with no worries
Totally agree =)
Nice. Maybe the Greyhound Bus Company made that car for Ford, based on that hood ornament!
Just kidding. LOL!
Haha yeah I shot a 30s lincoln model k today and same or almost the same hood Ornament
Love the weird gas filler taillight assembly...😮
I would think that that would be a fire risk
It is a really great looking automobile! The interior space is incredible and does look super comfy! I don't I would mind riding in this one at all! Cool video 😎
This would be a good contender the only downer is the flathead V-8 and the mechanical brakes but I’ve never driven a car with mechanical brakes so I don’t know how bad it it is.. but I read brake fade was a real common issue.. brake feed was a common issue with the drum brakes I’ve never had a brake feed issue because I don’t ride the brakes or at least I try not to and I try not to overuse them. That’s what the transmissions for =)
With mechanical brakes, it’s all about keeping proper adjustment. There’s no tolerance for unequal adjustment, but when it’s all adjusted equally, they can work pretty well.
I think the horns are behind the small front grills and the "horn" under the fan is the distributor
I forgot to mention the horn that is the first time that Ford put it under the hood according to advertising
The dial in the center of the dash is a radio. The back window does go down after sliding back I think. You just keep cranking to make it go down.
I should’ve been more specific I know that’s the radio I’m talking about the knob that’s above top knob left-hand side
I'll always take the Ford but I do love that Studebaker.
Ak
Also 36 was the last year for that style headlamps. 37 they were in the fenders.
Awesome information thank you so much for sharing that =)
A superb car. The A in the window is a gas ration ticker from WW 2. I'm interested, the car is very original.
I love how much space is in these you could use this as an every day car if you wanted to family car would be practical
I'm a collector of early Fords and I restore Packard's for fun. The dial FYI is the AM radio tuning dial. I have a hole with no early V8, 5 model T's and an early model A. The 36 has great styling and major upgrades from the 32 V-8.
Not that dial the first knob diagonal left at the top
What Packard have you restored? =)
On an unrelated note...you look a lot like my nephew!! 😃👍
That’s cool I get that a lot look like the kid next door lol =)
County Fair --Beach Boys
Yep that’s the one
Nearly 2 years. Well done for making it. I think I joined at just a few hundred subscribers so (near enough) right from the start. 🙂
I love Reading all the comments I really try to run this channel as a community and I want you guys to know that your comments mean a lot. Especially the ones from the very beginning because I’m not gonna lie it wasn’t easy in the beginning I didn’t know exactly which direction it was going to go I wanted a Classic Car channel more than anything it’s weird, maybe I’ll explain some more of that during the live episode, which I’m really looking forward to it’s either gonna be an hour, hour and a half long until we get sick of talking but that group of guys I could talk to them for hours, and it seem like minutes. Glad you dig this channel and was here to watch it grow it’s come along way in a very short time =)
Ford No 1
Sweet =)
Another Jersey car! Nice original. I'd take the Chevy and the Studebaker as today's choices. Got lots going on in September, and hope to catch your live feed!
Yeah me too September and October big car months =)
36 Plymouth (a great car)
36 Studebaker
The 36 Ford body style is considered the gold standard of Ford's styling during the 30's. A favorite of hot rodders and restomoders but there's still some stock ones left out there.
Ford's level of interior wasn't yet up to the standards of GM and others While somewhat plain looking it was a functional and decent sized interior space. Ford sales were suffering somewhat due to GM's better fit and finish of their interiors , so Ford made some changes mid-year to the styling and fabrics offered to try and compete more closely with GM . However Ford still hadn't mastered the one piece turret top (they would by 37). GM had, and they effectively used it against Ford in sales pitches. Also GM did it with Ford's mechanical brakes versus their new hydraulic braking system. Ford's use of mechanical brakes and their inherent design weaknesses when combined with the new Ford wheels which if not torqued properly tended to exacerbate the problem were really hurting Ford badly in sales.
Even though the model 68 had bettered Ford's 35 model year sales, they still couldn't come out on top. GM and especially Plymouth which had a banner year in sales. Which was well deserved since they had put out a great car in 36. So Ford ended up number three. Due mainly to Henry Ford's stopping any new engineering he didn't personally like.
By 36 Ford was beginning to realize that It's transverse leaf spring suspensions were becoming problematic as cars got larger and heavier and it was harder and harder for Ford to tune those for a smoother ride.
Still the V8 had cooling issues. Both the 34 Fords and the 35 Fords quickly gained reputations as overheaters and vapor lockers much as the years before them had. They corrected quite a bit of that problem in 36 with the model 68. Increasing the cooling capacity to 22 quarts and increasing the radiator frontal area into 391 square inches. They added a radiator tank extension. Then they added larger louvers stamped into the inner front fender panels. That assisted in airflow out of the engine compartment especially helpful because the air would flow right by the exhaust manifolds and out the louvers. That help the 36 become a little bit better as far as overheating was concerned. Yet the Flathead design flaw in it's exhaust system routing was always a continuing problem for Ford. It hung around the flathead until the day it was last used getting a little better each year but still the inherent problems were always there.
In fact by 1936 other manufacturers weren't having overheating issues with their cars, and in fact the American public had finally gotten to the point where great styling and fast car or not. They were not willing to put up with a car that didn't operate properly in any weather or usage.
The handwriting was on the wall. Big changes were needed if Ford was to regain their lead in sales.
Most of this information came from the book "Ford In The Thirties" .
ISBN 0-8227-0644-X
A must have for any serious vintage car aficionado. In fact I just recently bought another one because I worn out the first one I bought. LOL
I have to get that book =)
Thank you so much fir all that information and insight
Great choices
@@What.its.like.One of the things I really like about that book is it basically is about Ford during the 30s but they also talk about Ford's competition and what they were or were not doing to either compete with or better Ford. It's a really good book when you can find it it's from Peterson's publishing.
Do you know of any good reference books for30s 40s cars maybe even the 20s.. I have the Packard Bible and the complete book of collectible cars by Richard M Lang worth those are the only two books that I really have that give out information I have a book on 50s cars but it’s very it’s like a coffee table book it’s not doesn’t go into a whole bunch of detail like those two books do
@@What.its.like. maybe these
These are titles I've seen but haven't actually looked at the books. They sound interesting though.
The one about the decade of the '40s sounds interesting because of the interruptions to all the automakers due to world war II. It would nice to know exactly what they were thinking when production resumed after the war ended.
1. Storied Independent Automakers: Nash, Hudson
2. Studebaker: The Complete History
3. Cars of the Fascinating '40s: A Decade of Challenges and Changes (this is part of a series by decades)
The headlamps are not original, but sealed beam units which are 1940 or later the original units would have the lenses going all the way to the trim rings with no discernable gap between the lens and trim rings.
Thank you so much for pointing all that out
@@What.its.like. It was no problem, just one of the things I remember from reading in the past and the aligning pins on the headlights made me pause for a moment and if you look at the headlights on cars made in 1939 and those from 1940 all cars sold in the US used sealed beams 1940 on until about 1986 when the restrictions were lifted due to improved lighting systems that made sealed beams obsolete.
For WYR, I would pick the Ford for both scenarios.
That is a very classy hood ornament. But it looks pretty delicate. I wonder how many of them snapped off if kids were playing too close to it, or a mechanic got too careless?
Great choices I didn’t touch the hood ornament so I don’t know how delicate it is but I absolutely love the V-8 badging underneath it
Wonderful review, Jay! I am a bit confused about whether this is a Model 48 or a Model 68. It looks like its got the bright grille of a 68 but it hasn't got the center bumper overrider that is part of the 68 decor. It would be good to get this clarified. We learn a heck of a lot from your channel.
It looks like a mixed bag that’s why I didn’t put what model it was it has parts and pieces between both of them it has the grill of the 48 but it’s also has the bright work from the 68. I don’t believe this one had the chrome around the window and it was chrome according to the advertisement right with this car being as old as it is it could’ve been painted.. So it’s in a bit of a gray area and Classic Ca so it’s in a bit of a gray area and Classic Automall listing doesn’t have it listed as anything other than a standard.. so that would be 48 It’s just really confusing lol
No Drip Rails💧
Yeah sad day
@@What.its.like. 😂😉
This looks like an original, unrestored car. It's well-preserved. Whoever gets it will be making a good acquisition.
It’s priced nice too someone will get a good car at that price and it’s A car that you could use every day
Beautiful car, but it doesn't have windshield wipers!
1 & 2: All of them.
Maybe there are two lighters instead of one, or it's for the dash lights, or something else entirely. I don't know.
Awesome choices
Interesting there aren't blanket holders on the backs of the front seats like other of its contemporaries you've reviewed.
I think it would interfere with the chair movement..
Those rear window do roll down. Turn the crank the other way.
Great to know thank you so much for sharing that information =)
Hi Jay. I find 36 Fords very attractive, and this one looks like it has original paint. Not original is the interior, the headlights (the originals were much more convex), and there is an extra box of electrics on the firewall. I wonder if that might be for an electronic ignition? The exhaust tip and exterior mirrors are aftermarket. The triangular bumper thingie you mentioned is aftermarket too, though a third centre overrider may have been a factory option. Cheers.
Thank you so much for all of that insight =)
Congratulations Jay, this ford is surprisingly roomy but the Plymouth looks really cool so I’m going to pick the Plymouth
Yeah I don’t think there is a Ford out there that has the space this one has except for the 35 I haven’t been a 37 yet.. so that might be comparable.
Thank you I can’t believe it’s been two years I had a goal I was hoping that we could get to 30,000 subscribers by September I really want to get the 50,000 by the end of the year but just a number.. and we will get there when we get there I love doing this and covering lost and forgotten classics.
At the same makes me kinda sad most people my age couldn’t care less about per war Art Deco era cars which I’ve grown to love.
@@What.its.like. - hopefully you’ll reach some of the younger people and introduce them to a period of beautiful styling, meanwhile your doing something you appear to love and the rest of us benefit from it thanks again
That’s a tie in to the car experience a lot of cars didn’t have radios that is what that is not the best voice in the world but at least on key
Plymouth P2 & Studebaker
Sweet choices =)
Windshield wipers are missing.
I’m finding out that’s a common thing it should be mounted to the top because the windshield opens
Can you review a 40 Chevy truck, I might get one
I would love to review a 40 Chevy truck one year only body style if I remember correct I wanted to buy one before I bought the 52 I will definitely look for one.. =)
County Fair , The Beach Boys?
Good Job !
You got it somebody just beat you for title though =)
The spelling was off but I think spellcheck had to do something with it because there’s lots of times where I type things and then it changes into something else
Magnificent car. But these are trailer queens mechanical brakes 6v pos gnd. Steer like a truck overheat .had a 47woodie I know generators get hot and die early but there cool back in the day 100$or would get you one. Almost bought a 37 pickup. 😊 think about cranking a v16 by hand. O cam lobe drives fuel pump shaft lobe or shaft dies notorious broken rings smokes looked at a32roadstr pickup 35$good body dad saidsmoked too much😅was70yrs ago
I’ve driven a 40 Ford in the steering was really light driving it down the road was a really light experience I think it had a 239 v8 The brakes were very vague from what I remember and it had hydraulic brakes
The 36 ford and the 36 ford
Sweet choices =)
i grew up in the back seat of my dads 36 you sAY floor switch for hi/low then you say steering wheel hi/low WRONG steering wheel parking then headlight ..where is the windshield wipers
Awesome =)
Plymouth-Ford
Sweet choices
Is it a thermometer?
I think that’s the radio I should’ve been more specific I don’t know what the switch does that’s above the pan throttle it looks very similar to a cigarette lighter but there’s already a cigarette lighter on the right side
Are modern crossovers not essentially the same concept?
Eh I guess this could be a distance relative
@@What.its.like.very very distant.
Yeah, squinting to see (distant)
Plymouth
Studebaker
The 1936 smaller Nashes were just ugly. A lot seem to have been found with real low mileage….buyers couldn’t stand to look at it perhaps.
Sweet choices
Who put those horrible sealed beam conversion lights in this thing, the originals are half the style and looks of the car, get RID of that junk !!!
