In-Depth Look At The 1932 DeLorean Roadster & A Call With Jack DeLorean!!!

- When we pulled the 1932 Ford Roadster from the garage in Detroit we never actually did a full walk around of the car. Today we are going to take some time and talk about the little details on this Roadster that really stand out to Matt. The craftsman ship to all of the work done to the car is extremely nice for its time, and stands out among other cars from it's time. While we have tracked down one of the owners, Jack DeLorean, Jack bought the car in California almost as you see it today. Jack was kind enough to give Matt a call and answer a few questions that Matt had about the car. Hopefully we will be able to track the history of the car and return it to its former glory of a West Coast Dry Lakes Hot Rod!

I think it's amazing how you're talking to an 86 year old man who only had that car 1 year 70 years ago and he remembers almost everything about it that is incredible
I vote that this car deserves more of a restoration and at least a complete repaint. I hope you and all the viewers get to learn a lot more history of this car.
Wow Jack is still able to recall all of this after all these years !
It will be a lot of work, but you should do a full frame off restoration. That way you can find and repair any hidden rust or damage. A repainted frame? Goes without saying.
Carefully remove all the old paint, rust and so forth, and repaint it shiny black. In those days we would only use many coats of hand rubbed lacquer. Of course, these days, that's impossible to do, due to OSHA restrictions, but I'm sure there should be an acceptable substitute.
Do it right without half measures or shortcuts. In the end, you will have a daily driver which is also an award winning show car that you can pass along to your sons and grandsons.
I will be watching with great interest as you complete the project. It sure makes this antique hot rodder's heart beat with joy to see it.
That car deserves to experience a full restoration....
That's a real Delorean time machine! No flux capacitor needed...
Mister DeLorean if by any chance you happen to read this, thank you for the great stories and sharing with us your memories. You are sure a pretty good gent.
I’ll pass along your kind words - thanks!
@@elizabethd.1425 very much appreciated, thanks! it was a real treat.
Love the forensic search to restore the car to its glory days. The '32 couldn't have fell into better hands !
Could you imagine the happiness that this phone call brought this guy, I bet he was smiling for a week remembering little stories about those days. Every car guy should be so lucky to get that phone call at his age
That car really needs a full restoration! Really like the moon caps and trim rings in the old photo.
A full restoration actually destroys a unique history and would just make it look like one those tedious fibreglass 32's.
@@fotorabia no it wouldn't
The more you talk and share the history of this car, the more I begin to believe this is totally a vehicle of substantial significance totally worthy of ground up restoration.
I know you like your rusty stuff but I think this car needs a decent restoration
And a nice paint job in acrylic as per the red beauty and is period correct
And what the colour was when jack had it
Just my two bobs worth 👍👍😍😍
Outstanding phone call. It is great that Jack was able to give you all the information. Please clean all the rust off the car and make it as close as you can to Jacks era. It would a real tribute to those days. It is not very often a real original can be resurrected. Always fun.
There couldn't be a better steward for these car...it means a lot to persevere history like this..keep it rocking Thanks Matt
Love the history. Thank you for the respect you show the previous owners!
That doesn't happen often.
is really cool what the ol timer remembers they really get excited
I think that was great that you got to talk to one of the original owners
Great video and interview with Jack D. What an awesome history and a legit Woodward Ave street racer. I know you typically like the “perfectly shitty” look on these old cars but this needs to be painted. When Jack had the car it would have had a street worthy (not custom) paint job and not all that rust. My vote is you repaint the entire car to bring back the spirit of the car as it was in its glory days.
out of all your cars this one deserves a full restoration !!!!!!!! that would be cool !!!!!
I love seeing Matt's face when he starts talking about very detailed things, can see the shock that he still remembers so much.
And the annoyance when Jack talks over him! Hahaha.
@@mattkaustickomments for the record, being born in 1936, I think we can cut him a little slack
@@elizabethd.1425 I agree. The joke is that it is Matt that should be cutting him some slack.
Love the history you have found on this car. I am even more excited to see you get it driving again. Thanks for sharing the phone call with Mr. DeLorean, I swear I was hanging on every word. Most important I cant tell you how cool it is that this car found you, it could not be in better hands. Hope you keep it as long as the last owner.
It’s the best story I’ve heard about an old car long time this is 32 Ford that’s a great story Rick from Michigan
My goodness, how old is Jack DeLorean? He must be in his 90s! That's awesome.
Matt the history of this car is amazing, to be able to talk to Jack and get the information about the car is great. Thanks for sharing. Kevin
Love hearing the history behind the old hot rods, especially from one of the original owners. It would be really cool to have them drive the car again when it's done.
Very impressed he is still so sharp and remembers so much.
One of my favourite TH-cam channels that I have stumbled across this year love the videos don’t see much like this in the UK
Thank you for the update on the DeLorean Hot Rod ! Take care , stay safe and healthy with whatever you guys maybe doing next ! Doing well here in Kansas .
Man, sounds like Jack RULES!!! Can't wait to see the transformation.
He does.
Awesome addition to an already outstanding car collection. So cool that you try to track down the history of the cars. Makes it a lot more interesting.
Wonderful that you respect the history. Old technology and craftsmanship is worth preserving!
Matt, THAT is a bucket list car, with a great history. Many of these cars have a linage that is vaunted, you deserve to be the next "guy" that builds it better, build your dream.
Do the tonneu cover, the small hoop, with hand pump, and full House flatty!
And running 40s Steellies, steering, Louvered hood again! That would be SO epic!
And zephyr gears, is such a era perfect touch!
That's great that you found the original owner. I know that you like to keep things as original as possible, but I can see that car painted washington blue with black fenders and a light colored top...Killer.
I think you should do a full restoration on that car I think it deserves it
...with period correct techniques.
Re the bakelite knob, it's really common for them to discolor with age, especially with exposure to UV etc. It likely started life as off-white, just as jack remembered it. Regarding the "original" motor, I wouldn't be surprised if it had an engine swap shortly before it ended up on the car lot Jack bought it from. The single-carb and overheating issues Jack mentioned were likely the result of a quick pre-sale swap. I'd do a bunch of measurements on the various mount locations to work out what it may have been running before Jack had it. Great show, Matt! You're incredibly lucky to find that amazing car!
What an awesome story to that old Hotrod. I hope I’m around long enough to see it reborn. Great find Matt 👍👍
It's funny how stuff comes back. I remember seeing an old hot rod movie with a guy stroking a pump during a race. Never knew why until now!
Ok Matt when I die I know that Heaven looks like your shop. Awesome phone call thanks for sharing with us.
Central California Watching
I can't wait to get to Heaven!!
@@michaelguinn5736
Takee your time friend, mine is almost up.
@catmodelt
Don't know where else they would be
@catmodelt
That is a wonderful thing,
I hope you have the best Christmas possible
I don’t know where I’m going to end up but I’m taking my ‘32 roadster with me !! 😃
This is a fantastic historical video, thanks very much.
LOVING this 32 Roadster!
Enjoying the history and the ongoing journey of this hot rod. It would be great to reunite Jack with the car eventually.
This. On Woodward. In 2021.
#makeithappenmatt
That was great you were able to get in touch with Jack Delorean. Having the history on it is really cool.
This car needs to be totally re finished in gloss black with gloss black wheels, Hubcaps and trim rings.
Absolutely!!!
The history and pedigree this car has is awesome!! Thanks again for letting us in on your adventures!
Love the fact that the car can be traced back to the day keep up the good work and it's good to see that delorian was happy with you for taking care of it
Old school sounds great
Luv the history behind this car !! 🙌🏻🙌🏻
Matt & Mike, what you are doing with these historic vintage Hot Rods is incredible, you are going to extreme's to research the history to bring them back to there former glory! Very cool, can only imagine what the dollar value of these cars will be, I think you talking with Jack made his day, hope he is still around when you finish the car, then have a meet & greet!!!...be safe...God Bless!!!!
Absolutely so freaking cool! I watched it twice today. Wow, what history!
That fuel pump. I have a theory I think you'll like. Loving this by the way. Jack is sharp as a knife. Trust me I know I care for my father who has dementia full time now. Try remembering every detail about your first car! and then add 40 years and then speak as clearly as Jack about that car.
What I was going to say about the fuel pump or more its knob. I wouldn't mind betting that knob was white once. I've seen those early materials take on the colour of rust before. In one of my former lives I use to work on antique and vintage cars as a coachbuilder and mechanic. Those plastics can become porous. If it was laying in damp rusty conditions I wouldn't mind betting that's what happened. It has leeched the rusty water into the resin. Sometimes you can polish that out a fair bit although that one is a wee bit extreme. As for the restoration it's only original once. There has to be limits unless you're a museum though. You have the skills so I'd say get it back to its 1950s glory. Beautiful find. Normally I end "be lucky" but you already were multiple times on this one!
Jack is as sharp as they come! Pretty impressive to be able to say that for someone born in ‘36. Also - wonderful that you are caring for your father - nothing easy about what you are doing!
‘32, ‘33, ‘34 what a lineup! Great job preserving this cool piece of American history!
In my opinion, that car deserves a full restoration to take back to the way it was when the DeLorean brothers owned it. Anything less would be disrespectful to the history and classic status of the car.
Wow! This is crazy! Unbelievable the history you already have on this car, really looking forward to the build.
This was an amazing video. I am super-impressed with how the original owner Jack, could remember all of the details from more than sixty years ago.
Personally, I would restore the car with the aim to bring it to Jack and let him re-live his greatest days again.
Amazing content, thank you!
Pretty amazing finding the guy and him remembering so much info. Good for you, hope you can get a lot done on the car while heis still around to enjoy seeing it.
I really hope that you are able to get this thing together in time for Jack to see it n person, if there's a way to set it up for one more cruise down woodward that would be truly amazing. I know it's a lot of work but hope you can get it handled in a timely fashion.
Wow great call with Jack. Glad to see you got some history on the car. Can't wait to watch you build this one. This is going to be an awesome Hot Rod. 👍
Thats so cool you were able to talk to the old owner to know a bit of the history. 😎🏁
Change that gauge if you like Matt. Your just the next chapter in the cars life. Just like the previous owner (who chose the mismatch gauge), and the next owner after . You excel at making it your own while maintaining the history. Can’t wait to see the result.
Wow! What a beautiful find! Matt's dream roadster has my attention now! I can't wait to see each episode of this 32 and the Arden coupe!
Very cool. It’s great how respectful you are when talking with the old master.
Amazing car, absolutely awesome you found it. I’ll say what all your viewers said and know. You are the guy that should have it and a great custodian. Lucky “bast..rd
I can tell this is going to be a really cool build. Good job Matt.
so, this is John DeLorean's, of GTO fame, brother's car? cool
He sounds like John
What neat piece of history
Finding the history on the car is cool! My gasser has history that I have tracked back to the car being on the track when it was new. Keep up the good work!
What an awesome find!
so awesome, talking to jack...
The headlight bar looks standard in the old photo 👍 love hearing and seeing the history behind these old cars 👍👍👍 keep up the great work you do Matt 👍👍👍 from Australia . I found out a lot of history about the 1946-7 chevy van (panel truck) i have by sitting and talking to one of its old owners .
@catmodelt thats sound good ! Mine was a bakers van in Merbein Victoria and stayed in that erea most of its life them got brought down to Portland Victoria where it stat in a shed until i got it 10 years ago and been working ever since
Love the history! Thanks for taking us on the cars journey as you discover it! I sure hope you get the hood back that went to the car. It Would be cool to gain more pictures and find out more on its History/journey & life. Merry Christmas Matt!
the mismatched gauge at the left end of the dash...in the past i have seen fuel pressure pumps mounted there. maybe the gauge just plugs a now useless hole
I dont think that was a roll bar, but a sturdy mount for shoulder seat belts, which would have been used if it was raced.
Agreed!
Disagree, they didn't use shoulder belts back then. Most used in competition was war surplus lap belts.
@@jongolliher3806 I agree most guys used only the lap belts back then, but the fighter planes used shoulder belts so they were available as surplus, so it would be rare to see the whole harness used but plausible......why anyone would build it as a roll bar and make it lower than the top of the body or drivers head dosent make sense to me. Could have just been put in to make the roadster body stiffer, and not used as a "crash bar"......either way it looks like a well thought out race car that made it to the street.
The fact that the gas tank has a cap modification so it can be pressurized possibly explains the fuel pressure gage on the dash.
Because a driver would likely need it so they could monitor when to add more pressure to the system with the hand pump.
Such a cool video. And it was almost an hour but it didn't seem that long. This is my second best video this year 😁
Really enjoyed the backstory and all the work you are putting towards the return of its heyday.
That's so cool that you got the history of the car.
I love listening to the history of old car's. I enjoyed watching the video of the car. Best of luck putting it all together.
Awesome! A double dream find!
What a great phone conversation! Thanks for sharing that. John DeLorean was American automotive royalty, so his brother owning the car is amazing. I'm glad that car is in the hands of someone who really appreciates its history.
Ahhh... Great carcheology! Appreciate the way you honor the history of some of your finds!
I’m from Detroit and like the history. I had a 53 Ford Vicky with dual stroms.
Great video. So much info
The history on this car is amazing Matt !!
Very good info will help others look for history in there cars keep them coming
Super cool! Thanks for doing the history vids on it.
Matt, I'm as stoked as you are and I know you'll do her up awesome. TY ...Newk from Kentucky
Great phone call, his memory is amazing! The question I have is who built it originally? Jack said he only owned it a year or so and it sounds like he really didn't do much other than the engine, there is still a lot of unknown about it.
Can't wait to watch this video later on !! Happy Friday everyone 🍺
amazing show about the 32 ford great car stay safe down by you guys
So cool. What a great conversation. Hope you find the hood!!!!!
Sounds like Ron had the tonneau cover made when he switched the car over from Carson top to a retractable top, and that’s why Jack doesn’t remember it. Also Ron added the roll bar.
Another cool and great project...hats off for pursuing ur dream cars n sharing the finds. GREAT videos and work
Brilliant ,cant tell you how much i enjoyed that video and listening to Frank and his stories about the car ,cant wait till the next one and so glad the flat head is being used ,thanks again, Russ U.K.
This is soo cool. Happy for ya! 👍
Really hope you find more of its California history! Excellent History so far!
I think "The DeLorean Deuce" has a better flow than DeLorean roadster.
It's bad ass either way.
Yeah I agree, but Delorean duce kind of implies its a 32 ford with gull wing doors LOL!
Definitely.
@@jasonrackawack9369 Well, how cool would that be??
Just re-paint it already, that paint is roasted or what's left of it. Would love that car!
This is so much fun!
Great job like the direction your taking it in
Killer history video! Love the reach of modern tech to advance knowledge of the Past! Keep up the search !
Brilliant.
Thanks
Donnie
