Thanks for the comments, and here are some answers and updates: 1) She was outside while I was busy rebuilding the motor, but was washed right after this video. 2) Yes, she is loud. If she was totally original I would put mufflers on, but being custom/modified already, I left the exhaust loud. 3) Also, after two years of hard work, a set of whitewall tires and a fresh paint job I sold her a couple weeks ago. It was a long journey and thanks for watching!
Back then all cars looked the same too! The 1959-60 Buick, Cadillac, Chevrolet and Pontiacs all shared the same roofline, some even the same parts! And that is just the GM line. They just are not seen in great numbers anymore that is why we love them so much. (I'm an ex 1960 Cadillac owner) Most cars from this era had acres of chrome, big fins and drank fuel like it was going out of fashion. Now they are small, compact, miserly on fuel and they are all the same?
But as you said, maybe 6 brands of cars have similar styles, but today is crazy.. I couldn't tell the difference from the 2017 model of a regular car from the 2018
I agree maybe it´s because they something special. I wouldn´t want to see them on every corner, it´s like finding a flower in the automotive desert of the today. I´m 20 and I just can´t imagine these cars once being standart. Plus I doubt that the people philosophized too much about the dramatic ornamental work, for them these cars were just.. cars. But the designers of today are going in a questionable direction, that´s for sure!
Ughh save that lovely old rusty one hidden in those bushes near the gates! By "save" I mean leave it exactly as it is and put a working engine in it ;)
Not really. One in this condition and running can fetch somewhere near 8k to 12k, and that's not too bad, if you consider the alternative of buying a restored or original. Then the prices can get outragious! 😔
The tooling required for these cars were insane. Stamps and presses for all those body panels with all those lines were changed every year not to mention all the different chrome or stainless trim too. I get a headache just thinking about this.
Yes it is inefficient in burning fuel and releases a lot of dirty pollution but hey its looks mean that its carbon footprint can legally be as big as Texas.
What a car.This is what we call an American car.

It must be a little bit sad to say goodbye to this beauty.
It's not a car, it's a glorious earth ship made to ride until the sunset and conquer the Americas. 🚗👏👏🙋♂️
From a time when cars were distinctive! Modern cars all look the same- ugly!
Keep up the good work!!
Wicked cool man!

GMC went for quite a while without changing anything on their trucks so they could run the same TV commercials over and over year after year.

Is it me or does it sound like only 7 cylinders are working?
Is it just me, or does it sound like only seventeen cylinders are working?
Will it stop ? Is next question.😁

Are they cheap to buy ?

This is a car, todays cars are generated by computers and have no styling at all (boring).Todays cars are like shopping trollies with engines.
The tooling required for these cars were insane.
Stamps and presses for all those body panels with all those lines were changed every year not to mention all the different chrome or stainless trim too.

it needs a nice bath
noice
It's a federal crime to have a car this dirty.
