- Hi everyone! This week I got a chance to go see my neighbour Harvey and his son Bob's collection! We saw Harvey's 1951 Frazer a couple of weeks ago, and this time we'll walk through some more of their garages and check out some amazing and rare machines...
We are also making good progress on the Citroen DS restoration for my friend, and this week we'll do some polishing and painting on that project... I also got to use the forklift for real this week, and it saved the day, so I was very happy about that.

Hi Scott.
Got in early!
My childhood friend's dad owned or owns a 1927 Dodge Brothers sedan. The inside is like a living room.
I owned a 1979 F100 Ranger for a few years!
Do you ever watch DD Speed Shop? Another Canadian guy. Manitoba I believe.
Anyways, he's giving away a 57 Chevy.
I'm not associated anymore than I am here. Just thought others and yourself might take an interest.
Wow Harvey has an amazing collection of cars. He could have his own museum. Tell Harvey thanks for letting everyone see his cars, thanks Scott.
Scott.. it's so obvious you were brought up right.. .being so nice and very polite to old people is a lost art on the youngsters of today.. excellent job!
I sure agree!
I'm 60, and raised by my Grandparents in Alabama. It's nice to see good manners.
I agree also nice to see.
@Leonard Carr Thank you! he is nice young lad , well bought up , and very smart at that ! l love his show ! old as dirt , nice commit !
Yes that's true. Ironically, youngsters of today will be the oldies of tmrw. But!! it'll never happen to them. Right?
Remove cutlery and insert car parts into dishwasher. Thats some boss level batcheloring right there👍
Folks who repair circuit board often run them through the dishwasher before repairing.
Apparently they also clean alloy wheels really well! 🤔
Exactly! (or do it at 1am)
"I am such a peasant" had me laughing out loud.. Love that 98!! Also a great job of editing on his carb float story, overlying the audio like that.
Hey, thanks for the kind words; glad you enjoyed it like I did making it! Cheers...
Harvey has a very interesting collection and he sure seemed to enjoy showing some of his prized possessions.
Goodness gracious-ol’ Harvey has quality pieces that represent automotive history, and he has a personality that outshines everything we saw! Bravo👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻!
I thought Harvey sounded a lot like Tom. But definitely NOT the same old sh*t!
Fifties Kaiser and Frazer had the best interiors, they were the first to use molded or heat embossed vinyl. They had surprisingly fancy interiors from the first, the work of fashion experts Carleton Spenser and Marie Nichols. They did this because they only had a single, 4 door sedan body and one six cylinder engine to work with and they wanted something distinctive to sell. In the fifties they had the Dragon model," Dinosaur" imitation alligator, "Bambu" and other distinctive and expensive interior options. For 2 years they offered genuine leather interiors on the Frazers before they went to the embossed vinyl.
So, being from the UK, where you have to be grateful to own a piece of land big enough to put a postage stamp on, I'm now left with the feeling that everyone in Canada has a huge plot covered in super cool cars!
Your right there,there's just no space here I live in a small two up two down house,no garage a parking space if your lucky.Would love to have an American Classic but it's just not possible,you can spread out in America/ Canada !
You are a lucky man to have a neighbor like Harvey! I bet he has some stories to tell, a wealth of knowledge!
58 Olds 98 was my pick of show. Thanks
The best car and dog show on You Tube. Did anyone notice the "drink goat milk" sticker on the back of the D.S.? Had me chuckle.
Wow. You have once again knocked it out of the park. A stellar episode once again from the great white North.
Hey, thanks so much for saying so; always happy to hear from anyone who finds any value in what we are doing...Cheers!
I very much enjoyed that walk around Harvey and Bob's collection. Lots of time and effort put into their unique collection of cars and it shows.
I'm a Joel F too, but go by Andy.
My favorite part of Saturdays!
It really sucks we are losing these old guys. I can spend all day walking around & listening to all the old guys/gals! A different time & a better one as far as im concerned.
Thanks Harvey! Loved that '73 Imperial. I had the same model in 1982, 440 ran great. Longest regular production car ever made as I recall. Your vids bring back so many memories.
The stupid Federally mandated 5 mph bumpers gave it the edge over the '71 and '72.
Give Harvey and Bob a thumbs up from down in the states for letting you show us their cars. Enjoy all videos that you do but having a guy that is honest and friendly with his collection as Harvey has been by showing what he has , You have a great neighbor.
Easy over One Million US Dollars vehicle collection, 58 Oldsmobile 98 never have seen one, all saved so next generation can see the long progression of automotive history we all thank him!
My grandfather had a 58 98 olds, sort of metallic blue, quite a barge. Like some GM models of the time it too had a "Wonder bar" radio that could tune to the next station or find a station based on the local distance switch. Additionally there was a second dimmer switch on the floor, that would, when pressed advance the radio to the next station. His Olds also had the automatic headlight dimmer gizmo pointing ahead on the left side of the dash looking out the windscreen.
@@craignehring
One of my uncles had a Olds station wagon with the J-2 setup on it. I never rode in that car so I don't know how it ran ??? I think some Cadillac's offered that option too.
@@craignehring The light dimmer was the Autronic Eye.

In for a right treat tonight, Thanks for letting us come along
Thank you ! your show always makes my day . You really are lucky to have neighbour,s like that . and also for all the effort you put in to making these videos ! thanks again!!!!!
Great episode! Thanks Harvey for sharing your collection.
What an *unbelievable* collection. These should constitute a museum. What a thing.
Another great episode. That Harvey sure is a good guy.
Thank You, Scott, for letting us tag along when you visited your neighbour Harvey and showed his massive collection...not your run-of-the-mill. Restoring and keeping running those obscure cars is difficult at best, but he's not in a great place to find parts, or someone to help on tasks he can't handle.
Thanks again...Mark.
Cold War Classic interiors .....I never Knew How Beautiful !
CWM What Sunday Mornings are Made For !
That hinged hubcap was a new one on me too.
I like it too that you are respectful to folks, always a good thing! Always on Saturday morning I'm excited about a new CWM video, makes my weekend. Best to you Scott, Frankers and crazy agents!!
Thanks for the collection tour. Love the OLDS. my Father had a 1960 98 bubble top. It was like driving your Living room.
Your knowledge of pre WWII cars is quite astounding!
Harvey's got 2 of my favorites parked right next to each other: a Twin H Hudson Hornet & a Chrysler Imperial LeBaron. And a Rocket powered Olds 98 is no slouch either.
it was very kind of you to spend your time with him. reminiscing can be very enjoyable when one reaches a certain age. :)
OH MY ! That '30 Hudson and that Oldsmobile
Thanks to Harvey and Bob for showing you and us their awesome collection and then to follow it with a Light Buzz, nice ✌
Harvey and Bob have a truly amazing car collection - thanks for letting us have a look. There was a time when most of those cars were fairly commonplace - now, they're cherished. I find it difficult to believe that the ugly SUV/crossover/truck junk that parades up and down our streets today will ever receive the same accolades in future decades.
WOW, WOW, OMG, Is what kept coming out of my mouth. Harvey's collection is mind blowing. And worth a fortune. Hoping you are able to film more. Harvey is a gem. And Scott, I have to say, as always your knowledge and abilities are just incredible. Your respect and passion for vehicles is stellar. You have no idea how much I appreciate your work every week. Thank you thank you thank you.
What a collection! I'm an Oldsmobile fan from way back, my first two cars were a '68 Cutlass and a '72 Delta 88 Royale. That 98 is a sight to see. Thank you for sharing the tour with us, please pass along my thanks to them too. I hope you can get over there again soon. All the best to you, Frankers, and the agents.
Does Harvey need another son, you know, to help take care of the collection? What a wonderful person, hopefully he'll let us(that is you) visit again. And no episode is complete without some body and paint finishing on the DS. That's a beautiful car - can't wait for the reveal.
hey Scott, thanks to you and especially Harvey for the walk around of his amazing collection ! You know someone has a big collection when your battery can't last long enough to film all the cars !! :)
Soak up every bit knowledge this guy has. What a cool guy. He reminds me of my grandfather. I always spent as much time as I could in his shop growing up.
Your friend has got two sweet Dyna Z's, they have the same engine or a different variant (same design from 1945 to 1967). I drive a Dyna X here in France. Trust me Scott, you need your own Panhard. Just beware, once you find one they come shelter in your yard by the hundreds!
Thanks for the note! I may see if there is enough to put one together? Cheers!
They look like pretty complete cars! Usually they are just gone with rust. Engine have no tolerance whatsoever, thought they are cheap to rebuild due to the limited amount of parts. No head gaskets, valve springs, oil or water cooler, high pressure oil pump etc.. just watch out for this damn roller bearing camshaft, if it has too much play, the budget it might degrade the legacy of the channel
If you need any parts new or used I could get you in touch with clubs and parts seller here.
Cheers!
@@Baldufle Do you agree that the copper coloured car is a Grand Standing model? i'm a couple of years older than Scott and live near Dover in the UK. As soon as I was 17 and old enough to drive, I was over in northern France buying Panhards, Simca Arondes, Dauphines,, until I found a 1961 Id19 which I kept for over 20 years. I had a lot of fun with it being an LHS fluide rouge car and due to suffering an accident and becoming disabled I had to sell to a specialist in London.. I've just bought and sold a 1967 Renault 16 GL and am currently in negotiation to purchase an early Citroen GS C Matic as easier to drive for me. Scott, how about we find you a Panhard 24 BT/CT and send it over? Better than a Dyna/PL17.!! He He.. Mind you, I lived in Minnesota for 18 months and bought and dailied an Olds Delta 88 1973. That was some 30 years ago now. Do you see 1973 Deltas in 88 or 98 4 doors still around in Alberta or BC? All the best. Phil.
Great to see some Panhards. @@coldwarmotors The early Dyna Z's have an aluminum body, the later models are made of steel. And there are intermediate models with a steel chassis but aluminum doors. Go for it!
One more reply urging to get those Panhards! Such cool little cars. No one does weird better than the French, which you certainly know by now!
Im 60 yrs old. When I was in early grade school there was a new kid at our Catholic school that came over from France. Of course we didnt like the kid.lol! But his dad brought one of these cars with them. Strangest car I ever saw!
Wonderful episode! Please thank Harvey and Bob for sharing their stunning collection. It was an absolute treat to watch you in action, accessing your encyclopedic mental database and effortlessly spouting arcane automotive factoids from every era. Spotting a rusty cowl and identifying it as a 27 Buick was truly impressive. Every second of this video was packed with content, and I can only imagine how much footage you went through to achieve the final edit. Brilliant. Thank you!
Please thank Bob and Harey for letting us see their beautiful collection of automobile history, thank you
Forker to the rescue!
Great car collection. That Olds with three twos was a stunner. (More trim than your Plymouth.) The Imperial was a real limo, a true luxury car ! Museum quality cars throughout. 😎👍
Finally I see a good reason to own a dish washer. Fantastic collection that Harvey has.
Thank You for your Friend Bob for showing his super collection.And coldwarmotors taking the time to film.Thanks Scott and don't forget Franker's. CHEERS
I distinctly remember those hinged hub caps but for the life of me can’t recall the make and model. The advantage was it kept the hubs centered and eliminated the possibility of losing them. What a beautiful car collection. Definitely a labor of love. Thank you so much for the tour. Bummer about the battery..
Same here, remember see those hub caps a couple of times in the shop I worked at in the early 90s. But cannot remember what cars they where on.
As usual thank you for the hard work!! This caps my week off and helps me relax. Love from the lower 48
Hi everyone. Gotta love Harvey's collection. And his parts cars too. What a wonderful collection. The Case tractors too. My dad owned a Case VA 1944 complete running unrestored. We sold it five years ago. Thanks for the tour. I couldn't have asked for a better 62nd birthday present.
Hey Wayne! Happy birthday from everyone here and thanks again for being one of the kind folks who keep this show on the air!
Wow, what a collection of incredible cars! Man, that was fantastic to see. You have a very cool neighbor.
Great show as always...Thank you for your and your son's hard work. Your neighbor's car collection is amazing. I saw you being interviewed/TH-cam video...It was a mid-week treat to watch!
This episode is like being onto art and having Picasso as neighbor!
OMG.. that LeBaron is the BEST!!
When I was in college In 1968 I owned that exact same Olds even too the color. only mine was a $75 beater. But everything worked. It was a great car.
👍👍 Amazing cars in Harvey and son collection. Thanks for sharing.😊
WOW!! Harvey has a wonderful collection!! I really loved the 27 Chrysler and the Imperial LeBaron!! Big thank you Scott and to Harvey for showing us all of the fantastic cars!!!
What a collection!!!!
You should be in that '27 Chrysler and it will haunt you in your sleep until you have it. No, seriously, that car screams Scott and Frankers. What a great tour of classic machinery.
73 Imperial, that’s a great car.
Your neighbor is such a treat, thank you for taking us along.
I just have to say THANK YOU! You have helped me have a deeper appreciation for the smaller details that make older cars POP!
Seeing those power vents on that Mark V reminded me of my one and only ride in a Lincoln TownCar. A good friend’s step dad would only buy late 70’s/early 80’s Lincolns ( Town cars or continentals . Hey, everybody’s got their hang ups! ) . So I’m riding in the front passenger seat and wanted a little air, so I grabbed the first switch on the panel and LO and BEHOLD! The damn vent window opened! I was stunned at the abject luxury of automated vent windows! “ I am such a peasant! “ summed up my feelings at that moment PERFECTLY! Well spoke!
Harvey’s collection is stunning, what a eclectic set of cars from many eras. Makes you wonder what more he has to show in a another (hopefully) episode ! Watching the forklift in action is great , who would think lifting a car from point A to B would be so watchable?! 😎
What a beautiful car collection! Especially liked the oil can in the engine bay of the HUDSON 8.
Nice of that Gentleman to share with us.
Thanks Scott, love your work!

Here I am again, 'old gezzer gear head'. I sure hope youall are'nt getting tired of me. this is going to be a 'line up' of my father's cars, that I can remember from a kid. late fortys-early fiftys. The first car that I can remember was a 1935 Hudson commodor 8, 4 dr. Then came the '40'/ Plymouth (I wrote a post about that car). Then, a Frazer(I can't remember what year) I do, however, remember the buttons in the door, that you pushed to open the door. After the Frazer, came my dad's really nice '53' Kaiser Manhattan 2dr.. Unusual thing about that 2 dr. Kaiser was, that the rear windows went all the way down into the rear quarter. In that time frame, most 2dr. sedan type cars, or even club coups, the rear windows went only part way down. After the Kaiser, my dad had pretty 'normal' cars. '62' Plymouth 2 dr., '64' Plymouth 2 dr hd. tp., then a '67' Chrysler Newport, 2 dr. hd. tp. the rest I don't remember now. Sorry for my trip down memory lane. But your visit to your neighbor's collection really sparked my memory. Oh, one of my father's brothers, my Uncle 'Tony', had a Hudson Terraplain. I barely remember that car. Thanks for putting up with me. Thank you.
Damn, I'm just heading out the door so will have to watch this later. Already hit the like button of course!...
Scott, Thanks for sharing Harvey's collection. Love the Twin H Hornet. The next time you go over there, he will have to show you the special radio antenna rotating tuner.
Nice what a great collection
Gotta love those Continentals, at least the Mark II and the 1961- 1963 models. You're dredging up my long-forgotten memories of cruising down fresh interstate concrete in my mom's '61 sedan, clean brocade interior and all. There was nothing like it. At the time, I did not appreciate it; like a fool, I bought a Jag 3.8 S Sedan. What an idiot! Thanks.
That old continental your neighbor has is definitely a Dean car only nicer! lmao. Great time looking at the neighbor's cars. "Power vent windows, of course, I'm a peasant" lmao.
Happy Sunday in NZ, mint
Thanks for another great video, and thanks to Harvey and Bob for sharing their amazing collection!
This was a much better use of the forklift than lifting old cars just to use your string trimmer. 😎
That Chinese businessman might still be in that Imperial somewhere.
I always think of the robot 🤖 maid on the Jetsons cartoon show when I see those older MK V Lincolns.
LMAO!
A Kaiser club member said the bamboo texture was made by running refrigerant over the vinyl . That Kaiser is sweet and 53 was the last year Kaiser built cars in Willowrun .
Thank you,Scott,and especially your Neighbor and Friend,for sharing such an amazing collection of super classics and the parts-mobiles.Wow! Come on Lottery.I'd love to be the steward of a few of those.
Oh wow! What fantastic machines your friends have. Thanks so much for taking the time to show us. And please thank them for us. The DS is looking so nice! Great job and it shows. Thanks for the great video Scott, Frankers and Agents. That 58 Olds is on my bucket list!
What a collection of great machines.
This is so much better than a car show where all the work is already done. If a person wanted to restore a Panhard here is the opportunity to acquire 2 examples giving them plenty of parts that are original.
Always enjoy watching coldwarmotors. Thanks!
Mahalos for showing us Harvey's collection, a real treat indeed! That 1958 Oldsmobile with J-2 is begging to have the carbon blown out of it, and the hubcaps won't fall off. I wish my Dad was still around to tell me more about those. He built a T-Bucket Roadster with a buddy, and it had a J-2 setup in it, and that was a very sought after engine in the late 1960's. That Citroen has the most beautiful shade of blue I have ever seen.
My son owns a Chrysler New Yorker from the late 70's with the iconic 440 engine. And a 65 Mustang, and a 72 dodge Dart with a built 318 with fuel injection conversion, but the engine is a lot better than the rest of the car...
Harvey’s collection and body of auto repair/work, is amazing.
Thank you, Scott, Harvey and his son for the tour.
Nice time with you guys looking, awwing and oooing.
Coming along with the parts painting.
That “new” DS is lovable. Nice multi color pallet especially the dulled plum.
Oh yeah, the polishing of plastic and metal. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Harvey and Bob have done some Concours restorations on their cars. I also loved the restored tractors. But I was most impressed when it was revealed you had done some work for them, even if the truck was the cheapest item in the collection.
I enjoyed this tremendous collection so much. I would have nearly lost my mind if I was there personally!
Wow, harvey and bobs collection is just stunning. I think i might move to Canada.....
Unbelievable collection!
Four or five years ago I was in Shipshwani Indiana at a flea market, and as I was leaving I spotted a car museum across the street, It was a Hudson Museum, I went in and there was maybe thrity cars or so and the guy that owned the place came out and walked me thru the place he told me he was 88 years old and we needed to hurry because he was on his way to Penn. to buy another car.He had a Hudson that had recently won Pebble Beach Quite the guy.
What a great tour of your friend and neighbor’s FABULOUS collection! THANKS for taking us along!!!
I like the way the junkyard/parts car section was in the middle of the tour, not at the end.
A CWM surprise!
Yes. Definitely extend our thanks to Harvey and Bob for showing you their collection. All of the cars (and the tractors) are beautiful. I was especially impressed by the three "T" 's. Three hundred and ten years worth of cars there. Mr. Ford would be impressed.
Harvey has an amazing collection of cars!
When I was in high school back in the late 1960's the business teacher at the school had a pair of Kaisers.They weren't pristine by any means but they both and ran and drove. One was a Manhattan the other was a lesser model.
Thanks my friend for sharing your talents and your videos makes a good week great , what a nice collection my father and uncle worked on some of those kind of cars back in Buffalo thanks for the memories (Doug in Ga)
Hey, thanks for checking it out; glad you liked it! Cheers...
Love every one of the videos...good job to all
An older gentleman not far from me had a frame-off restored 1951 Manhattan in a real pretty green color, man that car was beautiful!
As for the Case V series, the VA was the wide front, the VAC was the tricycle front, the VAI was the industrial and the VAO was the orchard model.
Super interesting episode,tell your neighbor thanks ! Hope he's willing to let you film part two,as it looks like it'll be worth it. mention again who the Citroen is being redone for,so I know who to be envious of.
LOVE MY SATURDAY NIGHTS!!! All because of Coldwarmotors!
Wow, the knowledge between the two of you, simply amazing!
