What do you think of Kaden's story?
I think his family needs to be contacted, and he needs help, he really does.
It's either a brilliant act, or a significant mental health issue.
Well I think this is a way to become a famous person. He want to do something no one has done. Good luck to him
Any research on this guy ?
All these details mean nothing until there is an investigation into their veracity. What would be very interesting to know =)
Of all the mental oddities these days this guys is the coolest lol. They need to keep up with his restoration
I prefer and love these kinds of odd balls then the pinkhaired genderdifficulty ones LOL
Caden needs to write a book. Great vid yet again, great job guys.
WHAT A STORY! There are just things we cannot explain and cannot understand. He is so relaxed when talking about a former live he lived and remembers very well, it's unreal. Who knows? Thanks for sharing!
He's either a bullshit artist or he may be suffering from delusions. Poor guy.
It's an interesting story but obviously it should be seen as just that--an interesting story that's fun to listen to but has no base in reality.
@@McVaiowhy doesn’t it have basis in reality? Many cultures have believed in reincarnation for thousands of years. There’s a reason.
Go to any Renaissance Faire or worse, Medieval Times and you'll find people in love with some past mythical era who are ill equipped to deal with the reality you deal with every day. Sit down and read a dozen books about the 40's and you'll be full of " facts " too.
All the luck to Caden on the studebaker. There has been many documented cases of children talking about past lives and memories that aren’t theirs. But usually by age 5 or 6 that changes. I guess you can say we became conscious or self aware around that age. So seeing someone who’s an adult who can remember is crazy interesting, I’m glad that he can also appreciate vintage things like this car and all his personal belongings. Things so old that are getting a second life much like himself.
Clean her up, get her mechanically sound and drive it! Don't jump into an engine rebuilt. It's a flathead. Pull the head off and inspect the cylinders. Might be completely serviceable. Beautiful car. You won't see another one at your Cars and Coffee that's for sure.
What an incredible person Cayden is. I love that he doesn't seem to feel the need to prove his experiences. They are what they are. I have heard of these types of experiences in children before. You did a fabulous job and I wish him all the best with the restoration.
It is worth a complete restore. Absolutely. And you guys did what you could for this old car, with what you had to work with, you guys did good. It does me good to see you younger guyds keep car crafting alive, never give up the science.
Good with the good good and make more gooder with the good good goody gooder good good.
I agree with Joe Jones
I'd interview the guys parents and siblings if he has them. But, ppl having memories of a past life isn't unheard of. Imagine having dreams of places and things you've never been to or never did. Or just going through your daily life and routines and stuff triggering a memory you know you didn't do.
When I was 3 years old I got out of bed and my mother asked me how I slept and I said I was tired because I had been fighting Germans all night. I was too young to read and we had no TV.
It's completely inexplicable that you have written an entire paragraph and somehow used 'ppl'.
It’s time displacement and belief that things are not what they appear to be
Well he needs to clean his damn car then lmao. Jk…that’s actually pretty interesting. Makes you really wonder
Great car. And Caden is an interesting person and it doesn't matter if people believe him or not, the way he lives his life is his choice and certainly doesn't harm anyone. If he's happy living a life with less tech and from a certain time period, good for him. I hope we get to see him on the road in this restored car. Would be awesome for you guys to do a follow up video to see how he is doing.
I'd like to see someone do a complete top to bottom front to back museum quality restoration/rebuild on this car and give it back to the young man free of charge.
Wow, I think the validity of his story is kind of beside the point… He certainly has a point of view and the story itself provides a really interesting context to the way we live today, so kudos to him. As far as the video, EVERYTHING anyone could want in a TH-cam video: Cool car, interesting story, weird candle molds(?), bones… could not be better. I think I f the car can be restored it should be… (I hope with the original green) I think if he rolled up in that car to any location it would brighten the day of whoever was fortunate to have the experience. Life doesn’t have to make sense and cars don’t need to be boring, so good on all of you for this detail!
His smile says it all, hopefully he'll send you updates on the progress of restoring it. Amazing job as always guys!
Hope he restores this car to its former glory. It needs a lot of work and funds to do it. I wish him the best and luck. Nice work RJ and Brent as always.
He needs his own channel! It would be cool to see a “day in the life of..”
He can show what he does daily from sun up until sun down, give a house tour and it would be cool to see a full restoration of the car!!
I would say it is worthy of a full restore. Amazingly free of severe rust!! The back windows are unique. Wish Kaden the best of luck.
I commend that young man. He's living his best life!
Guys like him make the world colorful and shining. Thank you guys for not making fun of him. Shows that you’ve got a great attitude.
This young man has shown great courage in talking about his past life. It seems to me he has a great message to share about appreciating the things we take for granted,
I truly hope he has the ability and contacts tto be able to carry out a full restoration on the car. If he manages to restore it I think it would look stunning, making a brillian follow up story for you guys as well. As for reserching and proving his recollections of his past life I would think a college professor or historian would find it interesting to do the research to prove the life he remembers. I would love to see the full interview if you ever choose to post it.
Thank you for doing this. For taking the time to bring old goodies back to life as much as possible, record, edit and upload it. I'm struggling bad with my mental health but your videos give me some peace and quiet. Been binge watching lately and I appreciate you.
WOW! Great story indeed. As a child I was really into WW2. Regression decades later brought me to the Eastern Front, detailed info. I am fascinated by this particular story and experience. WOW!
I hope you are able to get in touch with Caden again when he's done with the Studebaker, I'd love to see the end result! I do find it very cool, albeit sad, that he has these memories, especially of his family dying. It makes me wonder if Dolores, Delilah and Atley are somewhere out there living in today's world as well.
I'm pretty sure he said he died as a family i think
@@Idontwantayoutubehandle. Yeah, but Caden is alive with those memories.
I bought an old leather jacket a couple years ago and Leather Honey restored it. I love that stuff. I still have some in that bottle and I use it on my cowboy boots. It's great stuff. I'm glad they sponsored you, I need to buy some more!
Thank you so much for your business and your kind words! We really appreciate it!!! - Shawn
Definitely worthy of a restoration especially considering the rarity of this particular vehicle. The vehicle is too complete & relatively tidy considering it has been left abandoned for years outside. She deserves some love! ❤️
Great video! You all showed him respect and that can't be beat. It tells everyone the kind of people you all are! Kindness always Wins!
Absolutely this car can be restored. Its going to need everything however. Most likely the floors are bad, but here are reproduction panels made for this car that are available.
I restored one (a few years newer than this) that was in much worse condition. It took me about 11yrs between actually doing the work on weekends, etc and parts hunting trips and so on.
EDIT: hopefully when you got all the mouse stuff out you cleaned the storage compartments in the rear seat armrests. Those wide armrest lift open and there is a storage compartment under each. I have heard stories of back in the day, younger folks would hide their beer back there.
That’s a cool 😎 Stude ❤
I hope he gets it back to resto condition and enjoys driving it every day 😊
Really beautiful vintage car. Thank you guys for doing all you could to make it shine. Someone should set up a gofundme or something for Caden to get it mechanically sound and enable him to drive it. I think it would be great to see a Studebaker driving around the streets of my town.
Caden would make a good curator for a 1940’s museum. We have a family of collectors in our county that did that with their vintage items, and made it a nice place for school kids to visit, complete with a picnic area for chatting when you were finished. There is room in our society for people like Caden. I would venture to say many have had dreams or experiences similar to his, but in American society we don’t talk about it because we are too focused on staying young and having or selling the latest fad. Interest in past lives or human consciousness beyond those living right now is often viewed as crazy or mental. I think that’s just shallow-minded culture talking. In a different part of the world, he would be better respected.
With detailed information like Caden has remembered, it should not be difficult to search old public records to corroborate his story. At any rate he seems like a nice kid with cool interests. I wouldn’t mind having him for a neighbor.
Aww Caden is so sweet and his story was so interesting!! I'd love to hear more
It’s actually a beautiful thing that Kaden is actively into the old stuff. The younger generation needs to preserve the good old days.
Kaden most likely is indeed a reincarnation of another person whom came back. This makes him even more awesome.
car looks like one of the better examples ive seen ... johnathan w did one 4 yrs or so ago that had no paint at all i think his wife drives that ..... very cool cars well worth restoring ...
For sure build it up, it is very valueble to him.
It's a somewhat rare Starlite Coupe. Absolutely worth restoring or at least bringing back to driver quality. Of the 47 to 52 body styles this car is most desireable. Hope the owner cares for it and respects what it is, a rare collectible car.
surely a big task to get it back in shape, but if Kaden has it in his heart to go on, then yes it will be awesome to get this back on the road
I'd absolutely restore that car!!! Do much history to it and the way the paint came back to life, gives you an idea of its potential. Well worth the effort. As for Caden, as a kid i used to have so many deja vu moments. I'd go to a restaurant, store or whatever and everything looked so familiar.........but i know I had never been there before as I was no more than 10 years old. I love the nostalgia he has in his home............although, all the vintage things he has and then a flat screen hanging on the wall.......lol. It'd be really cool if he could gwt the vintage TV set working too!!
Well done guys!!! That car, although it does need some work, turned out beautiful!!
Early Congrats on 600k 🎉🎉 Such an interesting story! As much as Kaiden would want to get it as a daily driver, it may never be safe with the amount of rust that appears on it. Wish him the best! Thanks guys as always for sharing! Take care! Eddie
I really like seeing you all bring vintage cars back to life. When I was a kid, seatbelts in cars was just an option until about 1964. Back then, cars had horn rims mounted on the steering wheel, the dashboards were made of metal, plus the automatic transmission and air conditioning in cars was a brand new thing. For those who are wondering why many of these historic relics sometimes turn out rusty is because back then, they didn't rust proof the car at the factory when they were building them.
Another great video. I’d really like it if y’all revisit this interesting guy and update us on him getting the car running.
So many of our older vehicles from what I consider the golden age of automobiles from the 20's throught the 60's are now gone, any of the surviving ones are do a full frame up restoration to preserve their legacy. Their bodies are works of art commenserate with the times and have so much character that todays cars lack.
Took a minute of Google searching to get the exact year make and model of this car. It's a 1948 Studebaker Starlight Coupe.
I narrowed it down to between 1947 thru 1949 but based on the pattern of the door panels, I found a German-owned 'Starlite' coupe from 1949 that had Kaden's car's door panel pattern, pics of 47s and 48s did not. Not saying you are wrong, am just relating what I found and why I think it's a '49.
This guy is special in the sense that he definitely lives in the time he said he is from, that car needs a lot of work, but it can be done if he puts his mind to it, he seems to be very down to earth, not too many guys are like that good luck to him.
It’s worth saving. They all are. That guy is defiantly interesting person
600k! Congratulations guys! Keep up the great work!
Definetly deserves bringing back to its former glory
Kaden needs to write a book, a chronicle of Donny's life. As far as the Stude is concerned, a complete restoration would be cost prohibitive, but a "sympathetic" resto would be ok. Meaning, get the mechanicals back in shape. Then it would be fine as a weekend fun car, but definitely not a daily driver as this car doesn't have any safety features. This thing in a sea of 6000 pound SUVs sounds like an accident waiting to happen. A better option would be a car from the mid-70s, something Donny would have bought in his 50s, had he lived. Once again, great work from the WD team!
Kaden's a great young guy with real style. I wish him the very best for the future and let's hope this life is much longer than his last. The car's great too!
This car deserves a full restoration, from what I saw most of the body panels are in good shape, a lot better than cars I see on other channels. I see Americans trying to fix VW beetles that in Europe would just be scrapped, so bad are they. So finding an American classic like this in relative good shape is quite something.
As for the young lad living in the 40s, well, if that makes him happy, good on him. There are stories around about people remembering past lives, who knows.
I had a strange dream once, it had no bearing on anything I had seen on TV or had read at that moment, but it was so real I have never forgotten it. It was about 20 years ago, I dreamed I was standing on a grassy hillslope between other men, a shield wall. I wore a green tunic and had dark brown medieval shoes, I had a long shield that tapered towards the end and a lance. I remember we suddenly rushed down the hill, I dared not look where I was going, could only see my feet running, my shield and lance pointing forward. Next thing I am at the center of a battle, I don't know what to do. I look in front and see a knight on horseback being pulled offf his horse by a group of men, and then nothing, I woke up.
So I won't knock someone who makes certain claims about things I know nothing about.
Absolutely restore this beautiful car. You can still get new-original parts from the factory in South Bend, Indiana. The Studebaker Drivers Club can help find everything you need.
This story deserves a movie !!!!!
My Mom had the 4dr version of that car back when I was a kid.
If I remember correctly it wasn;t very reliable.
This brings back some memories.
It is a easy rebuild the best drivetrain would be a chevy 4.3 6 cyl. With a small 4bbl carb and a 5 speed overdrive
このような古い車が綺麗に生まれ変わるのはとても素晴らしい！！
Historians should very this man's credibility, by checking if people really did do things like these back in the day
The old stoodie looks grooovy.
Restore it and drive it everyday.
The floor is in great shape.
I was born in 1952 and growing up I used to see these cars all the time.
I have snippets of a past life as well but it was the during the 1860s towards the end of the civil war as a Confederate soldier.
Past lives are a thing I truly believe it happens to some people.
I hope he documents the restoration and shares it on You Tube.
Worth to restore for sure. they didnt make too many of these
Rebuild the car but it will definitely take time and money good luck Caden and guys great job as always
Def the most interesting one so far. I Like the back story of the client.
All I can say is Caden is one unique person. I respect his choice to live in the past, but a former life, well, I'll let it at that. Good luck Caden I hope you get the old girl back on the road and save her from the scrap yard.
What an amazing story and a wonderful car. Hope to see more of Kaden and this car. I also hope Kaden writes a book about his experiences in this life in juxtaposition with his past life.
gonna take alot for a complete resto. But im sure it wouldnt take much to have it up and running!
7:28 dude , parts car?! There arent many of em left in the world, a parts car like this wont go anywhere. But if you do restore it, it'll be somthing to be proud of, that for sure.
The car can absolutely be restored. What an interesting story
1000% worthy of getting back on the road. I believe Donnie. I am kind of in the same boat, i have been a man in his 50s since i was born.
Absolutely restore this beauty we don't see cars like this every day it'll certainly draw attention
I’d say there have been multiple creatures who’s lives have ended inside that car; but the most common animals to seek shelter inside cars are mice, rats, raccoons, and squirrels. Most likely the “parts” in the car were from them. Very glad to see such a young guy take such an active interests in antiques and life from the first half of the 20th century! Collect’em while they are still around and fairly affordable! As far as reincarnation and past lives: who am I to say? This Studebaker is a relatively rare and desirable Starlight coupe and most definitely worthy of restoration or, at least, preservation!
With all of these barn finds and the lovely “nests and skeletons” how many vac filters do you guys go through? Great job again, Boys!!!
Great Video. Love the 1940’s. Can you do more video on Leather Honey on another cars leather seats?
We like that idea, too! :)
I am glad to learn that this car will be running down the road again one day. It is piece of our country's great automotive heritage and it will still be admired by generations to come! There are a lot of folks today that never heard the name Studebaker as this car manufacturer is long gone! And most important, this car is so complete with almost nothing missing, it mainly needs the engine to be overhauled and a good upholstery shop for the interior to be refurbished. Also, the dashboard and the instruments can be brought back to life again; there are specialized shops widely available. These tasks are an easy fix despite it could be costly but it definitely worth the money!
I really like the 40’s model flat screen TV on his wall.
Super Video Thank you 😚🤟👌👍
Congratulations!! You hit 600k!!!
Hope to see an update in the future I am working on a 48 champion 2 door sedan myself. Really enjoyed watching some life come back into this Starlite coupe
Hes not the only person who remembers past lives. The guy seems sincere about what he experienced and believes it. Hopefully his car is on the road soon.
Off the charts fantastic job
would like to hear more bout his restoration on the car. those are nice cars.
nice job bud. made her def come back to life.
I am new to your channel but I found this fellow quite interesting. My parents had a Studebaker so of course I am a fan of the restoration if it's possible. I think I was more intrigued by his story. I'm a huge history and genealogy fellow. It would be interesting to hear more about his story. I'm in Ohio as well so I surmised that he is as well as well as the 'WD Detailing' team. Thanks for sharing.
I think every car deserves to be saved it's a piece of American history. Keep it as it is no ls swaps or chopped
Caden kinda looks like Jonathan Krasinski IMO.
If "The Office" were to be set in the post-war era, Caden would be Jim Halpert
I can totally relate to him. My world is all antiques as well. My entire apt is 1920s
One of the most Interesting videos I've seen with a unique backstory with the owner of the car. Very fascinating guy
Definitely to rebuild as it’s in an amazing original condition.
Футуристические формы,не реально красивый автомобиль и великолепная работа!👍👍👍
As straight & complete this studebaker is it is definitely worth restoring
The kid was most interesting for sure . The car turned out in my eyes beautiful. Gotta love and old car .
If he can afford it, and he has the time, then absolutely restore it ❤
DEFINITELY WORTH RESTORATION...MAKE IT UPDATED TOO!!!
Good luck with the car! It’s going to take a lot of time and money to get her back into the road 👍👍
Caden was super interesting! It would be great if you followed up with him to see how the Studebaker is coming along.
What a great project car I love it & the nostalgic eccentric time travelling cat from the 40's ...❤ the channel & greetings from sth Australia 🇦🇺 👍
Too nice and too complete to part out!
600k! Way to go guys! Here’s to a million!
A very particular vehicle for such a character! an exquisite-looking guy!
The Starlight coupes need to be saved, getting very rare. The first car I remember my folks having was a 1950 Champion with the bullet nose!
Providing the frame hasn't rusted through it's definitely worth restoring. However, it's going to take some cash. Full engine and transmission rebuilds. He should probably upgrade the brakes from the 1948 system. That interior will need to be a complete custom redo. It has virtually none of the modern safety features. I'd venture to make it fully roadworthy as a daily driver in 2023 he's looking at 20K minimum. 30K easy.
I know you folks get fixated on economic values when determining if a car is a parts car or should be restored, rather than looking at the whole picture of the equation but,....so to take your approach, yes, Raymond Lowey Studebaker Coupes of 1948 thru 1952 are EXTREMELY desirable and sought after. I don't think the determination is an economic issue, clearly the kid wants to drive it, so it should be restored, particularly after being saved.
You guys should do a collab with vice grip garage. The cars he gets running could totally need a cleaning before he works on them. Should be a nice change fir him 😂
I believe the guy. After all our souls are just energy that dispurses when we die. Something happened though, people usually don't remember such vivid details from a past life.
Diffently restore it!!🇺🇸💪🇺🇸🏁💯
To fully restore that Studebaker it will cost $ 50 to 60+ THOUSAND Dollars minimum. All of the exterior trim brightwork is pitted horribly and there are no re-pop replacements available. That would throw a giant monkey wrench into the restoration... they might be able to be re-chromed, but, it is going to depend on how badly they are pitted and corroded. The cost to do it will be astronomical. It will need a complete interior...saving nothing, and beginning from bare-bones floor to ceiling, front to the back of the trunk. Getting rid of the lingering animal pee smell will be a challenge. All of the wirings will need replacing, and all of the dash gauges will need replacing. All lighting will need refurbishing or replacing too, and those six-volt bulbs are not easy to come by. This car would require a Body off Frame, and rotisserie-style restoration to do it right.
