- Hey guys! Well, winter is here! I thought it would be fun to take the Frazer for one last drive before we put it away... I had to go to the local post office to ship a part, so I figured it was a fun opportunity to fire up the old girl and take Frankers for a spin!
Thank you to everyone who ordered a 1960 Fury T-shirt, our best-selling shirt ever! They are being printed now and will ship immediately when they are finished; I can't wait to get mine!

Scott, I just want you to know how much I appreciate these mid week videos! Love getting two a week! I know it's a lot of work, so I wanted to say we greatly appreciate you!
Fraser cold start Win !!!
groans and lights up
Oh, Canadaaaa!
Dan in Bangor
Frasier for the win !!!
l remember riding in my Dad's Frazer just like this one and it was green to back in the early 1950's.....Thanks Scott ans WHAT A FINE DOG🐩 FRANKERS IS WOW.......
Shoe🇺🇸
Oh
My
God.
I was just sitting here, sipping my coffee, thinking to myself: "Oh hey! New video from Scott! Sweet!"
Then I read the description briefly and thought "Nah, this can't be it..he didn't make a video just for this"
And then you showed the package on screen.
I almost dropped my coffee.
You absolute legend. You have absolutely zero clue how it feels to be featured on your favorite TH-camr's channel, even briefly, let alone knowing the fact you're doing this to help me.
See? This is one of the best things about loving old cars, it brings people together.
Also, please do look after yourself with that back of yours...
Regardless, this made my day. Thank you sincerely, Scott & Frankers. I deeply appreciate your kindness.
God bless you all.
Look out for yourselves.
Cordially yours, Darius.
The visual of Frankers dutifully awaiting the snow encrusted Fraser to turn over and the opening of the back door for entry- which her canine intuition foretold would certainly occur- was priceless. Very good to see the Fraser on the road prior to its impending hibernation. Be well and coax that back into shape.
My favorite show on TH-cam. 👍❤ Cheers
Great to see you and Frankers on a Thursday, I know that hurt back walk well. The Frazier has the best looking dash for cars of that era, at least in my opinion.
Haven’t seen the Frazer in awhile. What a sweet old car.
Love that your ice scraper is a bondo spreader. Mine is a Tim Horton's card. Its also good for spreading bondo. Is there nothing Tims can't do! Lol
It may be 'knock,knock,knocking on Heaven's door',but the Frazier sure is a good runner.Had 70f (21c) in Michigan today so I did a last big ride too.Hope you feel better soon.Backs are a bit^# when they hurt.
Love the slow crank challenge...very impressive
Sorry for the sore back Scott and the return of snowy weather!!!😨 Here in the northeast of the US we are scheduled to reach temps of 70+ degrees (23 degrees Celsius) which is rare for this time of the year-- but I hope it rolls on til March! Trying to do a level one tidy in the garage before our first snowfall so I can push the Rambler in for wintertime shenanigans--thanks for the inspiration!
Love these videos keep them a coming, hope your back gets well soon.
Never having had to scrape a couple of feet of snow off my vehicle, let alone start it beforehand, I am totally in awe of the old Frazer's durability in such conditions. Sure, she took some coaxing and billowed black smoke for a bit due to the temperature of the engine when she caught, but she still fired up and ran sweetly enough. I'm always amazed at the smooth idle of that beast considering the other noises she's making - especially from the bottom end - but she doesn't act like James Bond's Aston (after he flips a certain little switch to create a smoke screen) and still does what is expected of her. A true tribute to the engineering of the period, I reckon. All the best - and I hope your back feels better soon.
An occasional STP cocktail should fill in the gaps and keep Frazer happy much longer.
Oh the snow is lovely! You must really be enjoying it! Hey, did Dean sell his greasy 460 Torino?
This brought back so many memories, the sound, the cold, the smell:) Oh how I loved this, thank you.
Whoops. You're using the video title from last time....🤔
The Mighty Frazer with the Beautiful Dashboard continues to amaze me! A new bearing in there would be a real nice gesture !
Agree. Give the old girl some love.
Too much power out of that thing is the problem
Looks cold ! Hope your back mends quick. I know the feeling .
Glad to see the old Frazer up and going on a cold day. Still in the 50s and 60s here in Maine near the New Brunswick border. Changing next week with upper 40s for high temperatures. I don't miss starting carb cars on winter days. Fuel injection is awesome. The Frazer did start and go even though she didn't want to wake up too easily. Hope the Frazer makes it inside for the winter! Reminds me of starting my old Dodge Darts and old Chevettes on cold days. Cranky in more ways than one. Hoping you get a warm up and the white stuff disappears! Enjoy the weekend Scott and looking forward to the weekend video. George in Maine
Wow a Winter drive in the Frazier. Looks like fun to me. It's time for another Winter Beater contest.
I hope your back is OK.
Thanks Scott. Making content even though your back is out. I’ve done that type of walk a few times myself. Agent Frankers looks just right in that Frazer. 👍💯
I hope your back feels better soon. It is definitely not fun. It was nice to see the Frazer going and driving. I get a kick out of that car. I like the style of the interior and the dash. The look on Franker's face is too funny and cute. She makes me smile. I love the way she runs around like a lunatic and then realizes it friggin cold out. I love your sketchy ice scraper. That is a nice product idea to sell. CWM ice scrapers that are guaranteed to scratch your paint, break the wiper blades and scrape your knuckles for only $9.95 each and it includes a band aid for your skinned knuckle. Have fun and get better!
Thank you for the preview of what's to come here a bit later in the season. I'm enjoying near record warmth until the other shoe drops with little warning. Old faithful Frazer fires up. I love it. You should be used to sketchy tires. Stay safe. Cheers!
Take care of that back, Scott! It's gonna be a long winter otherwise. Thanks for the ride a long.
That Frazer is a real die-hard. Always nice to see Frankers. See you Saturday.
Sorry to hear you hurt your back...wishing you a speedy recovery !! Good episode, thanks.
Oh God, Scott! I was having flashbacks to my past at the Jaguar Cars Cold Test base in Timmins Ontario. Not a stranger to a bad back either but on those early morning cold starts it was normally a bad head that was the problem. Ah! happy days! The old gal was a bit clanky at first but soon warmed (literally) to the task. Take care of your back, it ain't fun I know. All the best, Mart in England.
Hey man, hope your back troubles are over quickly! The Frazier is a damn hammer...hearing that Continental 6 begrudgingly come to life in the cold reminds me of my old man firing up the Willys for snow plowing. The engine never failed, but the front diff eventually did.
The title remains the same as the last video. I was a bit confused. Sorry to learn about your back. I find it happens about once a year to me.
Haha Oops! I had it changed and forgot to save it...Cheers!
I have always liked the Fraiser, it reminds me of my 1st car, a 53 Belair 4door. I had a lot of fun in that car. I hope your back heals. It's never fun to have back issues. Hello to Frankers. See you Saturday? Cheers.
To bad you can’t get snow tires for the Frazer . L would have been fun to see her in the winter and see how she would have held up under those conditions . Love seeing the Frazer . Cheers
Great to see the old Frazer out on the road, remember when you first rescued it. I'm sure you'll find something for that Winter Beater amongst the fleet. Looking forward to Saturday 😁
Seeing a bondo squeegee used as an ice scraper? Man, I like this channel!
For Christ's sake, you're using a bondo spreader to clean the windshield. I better go buy a coffee mug so you can get a proper scraper.
Haha my dad used his comb or a credit card to scrap his window
He'd just buy new bondo spreader :p
From what I've seen in the past ~5 years, you don't have much use for a bondo squeegee other than as an ice scraper 😁
That Frazer purred like a kitten!
Seems appropriate for Scott. I don’t know if I would have expected anything else
Man, I'm not used to seeing Central Alberta getting snow before us in Northern Alberta (Peace River region). Usually just before Halloween.
Love the old Frazer. I reckon it needs some love.
I live in a place that only gets about 4" of snow a year but found a set of classic winter grips for my 54 Chev that I couldn't resist. now if only I could find a set of Car guards
The Frazier fired right up. Good test of your car in this type weather. Impressive. A successful drive. In winter conditions. Thanks for sharing!
Sorry about the back Scott! Lordy, I have been there and in the cold too!.. Of course the Frankers is ONE HAPPY Pup! Well not a pup anymore huh? The Frazer has balls for sure. That car really wanted one last go for sure! Good to see the little trip-and "KUDOS" for sending out that rocker arm! It will make one happy guy! Cheers, Rich
Thanks again for posting. Can truly sympathize with you for the back issues - hope it gets better. Great use of the dual use ice scraper/mud spreader. Lovely bearing sounds during the cold start. As others have stated, the Frazer's dash and "moose guard" are classic. Realize you've vowed to do nothing about the paint, but... (damn...please...?).
Such an awesome car. And it has heat? Even better👍
Don't think I've ever heard a car crank so slowly but run anyway.....seconds later, don't think I've heard a big end clank so loudly but run anyway....Frazer is certainly a staunch old fighter!.
Typical 6 volt starter. 30 weight oil takes a fair amount of time to circulate.
Nothing like cranking 6 volts, and the mighty Continental 6
She didn't sound happy... I'm a big fan of 8v batteries on 6v systems. Just that little extra without all the rewiring.
I feel for you Brother. My huskies waste my back about every time I take them for a walk. They are bread to pull. I am constantly fighting back against there pulling using my back to do it. Speaking of huskies. Judging by the way Frankers likes the snow so much I think she might be part husky. I am amazed at how early you get snow up there. Where I live we don't usually see snow until the end of December. If then. Thanks for taking us for one last ride in the Frasier for the year. She's a good old girl. I'm glad to see her still gracing the roads of Canada. Looking forward to your Saturday video. As usual the huskies; Sakari, Chinook, and Kunik bid you and Frankers a fond "Arooo". Please give Frankers some pets, scratches behind the ears, and maybe a couple of treats. But don't tell her dad.
The last few videos you’ve been saying snow’s coming - still jarring to see, especially after driving home from Boston tonight with the PT Cruiser’s sun roof open! Best to you and the Menace - see you Saturday!
Taking the original owner's family for a ride in the blue Fury was cool. Have you ever wondered about the back story on the Fraser? Wouldn't it be cool to know all about where the T has been? When I was young and patching old junk together, I'd sometimes picture someone picking the car up at the dealer before it had a single chip on it. (My early cars would fit right in among Dean's Greasy Flips.)
I always considered the 1960 Plymouth Fury to be the Coldwarmotors signature piece however after watching this video
I am convinced that the Frazier embodies everything I love about the show.There is something strangely therapeutic watching a man and his dog going down a snow covered road in a beautiful honest vintage motor vehicle.
Great video.Thanks Scott
That old Frazer is AWESOME 👌 Also glad to hear the shirt sales where great, I bought on for me and my dad, I been following the fury since like the fifth video on that car and absolutely had to have the shirt 👕.
Awesome! Thank you!
Hope your back will be feeling better soon, Scott. Back pain is nothing nice.
Always a treat to take a ride in the Frazer. I wouldn’t suggest returning to 6 volt systems - starter runs slow in the winter, but they work. I had two of them as drivers in winter ( ‘41 Stude and ‘51 Plymouth) . They were just fine. Cheers to all.
Scott: You went over the top cleaning the Frazer off. In New England most people just clean enough off to see out the window and "drive like you stole it" until their vehicle is clear! Just don't be the guy behind him! At least most places now have laws against it for obvious reasons...
Frosty Frazer fun. Thanks!
I hope your back is starting to feel better.
I'm guessing you know you used the same title twice..."1959 Plymouth Fury is On the Road! Let's Go for a Drive... Also: 1972 Swinger 340 Tune-up Time!"
Kaiser-Glacier
What’s that white stuff you are scraping off of your car ? It was 62F and sunny here in Ontario, just north east of Toronto. I was out cutting firewood in a tee shirt, sweating buckets. Winter like you have most yers doesn’t start till closer to Christmas.
The old Fraser wasn’t too happy to be fired. It must have been a real challenge to get those 6volt cars going every day all winter back when that was what there was available.
Amazing testimony to the durability of the cars of the time.
I would totally watch a movie about a Canadian going on a winter adventure to the post office. Like snow dogs but with frankers.
Winter comes early in Northern Alberta. it's around 75 f in the Boston area.
You should have a Push The Plymouth contest,with Dean and Miles for fun!
Awesome. Both are awesome old girls! Thanks Scott!
No shortage of bearing clearance with the Frazier! Cheers Scott!
Wow !! .. This was an authentic normal driving experience from the early 50s.
It's amazing to hear how that 6 volt system actually got the job done.
I started driving in the mid 60s, when we had 12 volts, snow tires and adequate heaters.
Back injuries suck. Wishing you a speedy recovery!
Sorry to hear you hurt your back. I used to have a lot of problems with mine until I went to physical therapy. The secret to it is stretching exercises. Theres a bunch of different ones but one you can start with is lie on your back, bend one leg and raise the other 10 times, switch legs and repeat. Also do on each side. As we get old our muscles tend to tighen up so its important to get loose before working on stuff.
Sorry to hear that Scott.
At least Franker's is happy!
Nice cold start! Lol.
Hello, I watch your videos since a long time, and I have never write a comment. But in this video, I had to pause it, because I see that you have a Citroën CX too ! I'm french (so sorry for the bad english, I don't speak it perfectly). I am collecting old Citroën car's, and the CX is one of my favorite (I have a gti turbo 2 !) one of the last real Citroën. And I'm surprised to see one in your country ! They are pretty rare in canada I think ?
Really nice video as usual, good to see the frazer still driving.
Made my night Love to see Frankers having so much fun in the snow Cold War Motors is living up to its name look at that snow Hope your Back gets to feeling better soon Scott 💟
You obviously have no idea what "cold war motors" refers to. It has NOTHING to do with the outside temperature. Any one older than 12 years old would know
that the "cold war" refers to the time in U.S. / Canadian history when there was a stand-off between the west and the Soviet Union...a time when most of the vehicles in
Scott's inventory were originally built. Keep making foolish comments - - you are funny to point at and laugh at your idiocy......@Mary Gamer......dolt.....
Sorry to hear about your back, I hope it gets better soon for you. Good to see the Frazier out for one last ride. See you Saturday. Cheers from Michigan
Now I have two reasons to make Alberta my home, Snow and Danielle Smith.
Brrrrr! I know it’s coming to the Midwest sooner or later but I’ll enjoy the balmy 70 degree night here in Kansas City tonight. Always a treat to see the Frazer functioning the way it was designed for. You two have a good night!
Oh. Wait!!!! It started and you didn’t go under the hood covered with snow??? What you do to that car???
We all know Frankers will never say NO to a car ride! Glad you made it to the mail and back! What is it, like 10 years of worry free Fraiser driving? We still dont have that kinda snow here in our part of Manitoba. I know it is coming!
Re-introducing The Queen of Automotive Royalty.....The Majestic FRAZER!
Scott, I'm very sorry to hear you hurt your back buddy. Please take care! Hope you feel better soon!! Can't believe there's snow on the ground there already. Haven't even had frost on the windshield here yet :) but have had to bust out the hoodies. East tennessee this time of year will make you run both the heat and a/c in the same day!
Good to see the Frasier one more time before winter. I can imagine it must be quite the crazy drive with that on ice. Frankers had no fear though hahaha. Sorry to hear about your back, I tweaked my as well a week ago, no fun. Get well soon. Cheers!
Your pioneer spirit went into overdrive deicing the Frazier with a barking back. Setting up the camera couldn't have been any fun either. Thanks to you and Frankers for taking us along on your frosty adventure. Feel better!
Lol, I was hoping you would post!
I'm counting on your videos helping me get through the winter.
The Fraser is truly impressive as it is truly, a reliable mobile! 👏🏻👏🏻
One of the key defining factors in a winter car is the ability to clear the snow with a push broom without concern about the finish
I love the intense expression on Frankers face whenever shes in the passenger seat
"I wonder where we're going this time!?"
*The joys of a 6v (?) starter churn on a parky winter's day, great stuff*
Snowing in Denver now too.
Always a treat to get to go along in these cold starts! Thanks for the mid week content! Cheers 🍻
Hi there! Sorry to hear your back is hurting, go easy on it. The Frazer was a bit grumpy, I can't blame the old thing! I'm chasing electrical gremlins in my winter beater Cherokee just in case we actually get snow this year. Gotta love Franker's pure joy romping in the snow! Kick back & have a 2nd joint for medicinal reasons! Take care!
What a testament to old engineering. Ran like a trooper. Frankers loved every minute. Fantastic.
1st snow, ALREADY !!! Holy dyna........
The Frazer started up well and sounds great!!!
Franker's is glad to go for a rip and looks like a perfect lady doing so!!!!
Scott,
Frankers, snow, Frazier, fun...what could be better? Hope your back is feeling better. Saturday awaits.
Cheers from Ohio
love the Frazer!
Video titles mixed up.
Oh the fond memories of cleaning the snow off my car in the winter! Now I'm in AZ I don't miss such thins so much lol! Always a delight to see old iron still on the road.
Just noticed the title error lol, same from last video.
When I retired in Massachusetts I escaped to South Carolina so I didn’t have to deal with those winters anymore & I love it, more comfortable time to work on hobbies lol
Living the dream, my friend! God, I love that ol' Frazer. And every other piece of rolling stock at your place. Thanks for doing this video, it made my day. Not quite as cold down here in Oklahoma, but kinda nipply. And Frankers is such a complete HOOT!!!! Stay warm and take care of that back! Happy New Year!
An episode wouldn’t be complete without Frankers, such a loyal companion.
The magical healing power of the Fraser - by the end of the video you’d stopped mentioning your back hurt!
"Frazer..... heal thy self." I can't believe it.... the knock seems to have disappeared. I have seen you rev-the-shit out of the old girl and all the time I was thinking, "that's going to put an end to Grandma," but no. My Grandmothers had 9 and 10 kids, they were tough old girls as well. It's cool to see snow in Alberta. It's been in the 70's F. during the days and drops down to the 50's at night. It's currently 71°.
Hello, Sir, snow already, yikes, not for me (Arizona raised). We really enjoy your content and frankness when conversing and orating. Nice to see someone with kahones enough to be who they are, not youtubewho they're expected to be from the heights (supposed) above us peons. Carry on my wayward son. (Kansas).
Very cool!!!!!!!!!👍🙂❄
We don’t get much of the white stuff here in coastal South Carolina, but it sure is pretty. That 6 volt battery in the Frazer was sure working hard turning over the starter. I really enjoy these Thursday vignettes!
With 6 volt systems, it's really important to have all battery terminals and starter connection shined up to bare metal: starter needs all the amps it can get!
I've been nursing a back issue for a few days, comes with getting older I guess lol. Hope you feel better soon! Always love to see that Fraser being driven! The Furies are beautiful and I respect and admire you for all the work you did on the '60.( Awsome) But there's just something about that ol' gal that trips my trigger😃😃. I guess I just like'em a little rough,tough and odd lol!!
