Dear Angus, I'm about halfway through the video currently. I really enjoy Kevin's videos here, but dude I really enjoy your videos too. Please know that you are appreciated. Cool video so far.
I love when Angus hosts a video, or just appears in one. He has great pacing in his very educational explainations and narration. Respectful and friendly with the owner, as well.
yeah cuz it probally would’ve sat there till he died. at least he can tinker with it and drive it around it what i love about old cars they are like time machines!
OLD TIMER??? He's not THAT old. A guy is not an OLD TIMER until he is over 80. SHEESH...Darned young pups.. no respect for Boomers or Gen Xers.... Calling us OLD...
Anges, you made that man's day. Not just getting car running, but taking time with him and his car. I really wish more younger guys would take that interest.
Great video! When I first arrive in the U.S. in May, 1958 I was a mechanic on Bedford Avenue here in Brooklyn, New York. I had a businessman who had a '57 Mercury Monterey 4dr Sedan. I work on that for 4 year taking care that car until I enlisted in U.S. Army in June, 1962. You brought back soon very good memories. Take care of yourself!
The smile on the old fellers face when he was talking about walking the T-Bird off the light was the highlight of this video. Men might get older, but we never really grow up......thank God! Great revival.
THAT WAS A FANTASTIC VIDEO!!! I love the revival stuff that you guys do, but to have Angus get that car back on the road and have the man that loves that car behind the wheel is super special. It's awesome when you guys revive something, but when you're able to put someone back behind the wheel of a car that they really love it just takes it to another level. Awesome car. Awesome revival. Awesome story. They don't all have to be hard. Great work.
I would love to find a 57 mercury I could afford. Sounded like a bad spark plug. They were bad about blowing a spark plug completely out of the engine if you didn’t tighten down good. I had one of these back when they were relatively new.
Man, what an awesome car, and that Continental kit just really finishes the look. And she's so eager, too! Just rearing to go! Another great video, and it's so nice to see Angus growing more confident in front of the camera on his own and developing his own style of presentation. Plus, it was great to see the owner of the car helping with the revival and sharing great stories of the car's history!😊
There ain"t many things prettier than the 50"s Mercs. I have always been a fan of Mercury cars and will always will be! Thanks for getting it back runnind and for sharing the video with us.
Give us more Angus Hosted videos. I know this one is a little old, looks like he's still finding his "voice" but as a 16yr tech the advice, shenanigans, and overall vibe you guys provide is A+. will be buying merch asap
I'm so glad yall posted today. I've had a terrible week despite finally submitting the manuscript of my book after 7.5 months of work. I can finally relax and just watch one of my favorite channels
Fuzzy dice, Continental Kit, rear skirts. . . ah, they made 'em great back then! I was four in 57. I can remember that era, and all those cars going all the way into the mid-sixties! That's a GREAT car!!!!
My parents had a 57 Mercury. Bought new in California. Showy Red and White. But, our was a different model than this. Our hood did not open like that, our back wings were totally different , we did not have button transmition and our front sets were separate and had a arm rest between. Which I would sit on as a toddler. No seat beats were required back then. We had that thing for 18 years until my brother wrecked it. We had a wood board under the back of the drivers seat to keep it propped up. The Naugahyde was still in perfect shape until the end. We took so many camping trips in ours.
Awesome ! You did a really nice thing for your neighbor , got an old car on the road again , and I bet your neighbor will keep it running and enjoy it ! Nice job
when i try to clean out the points after sanding i use a piece of cardboard with a rag wrapped on it, bit of gas on the rag to remove any stickies in there
Bit late to the party, but loved the video! Brings back memories of helping my old man with his Y-powered '55-'58 Customlines and Mainline utes. That distinctive starter noise followed by the "Bloob-bloob-bloob-bloob" exhaust tone when the old 272s finally coughed into life 😅
I don’t think you guys could even imagine my face when you said y’all were up in the WI northwoods. Always gets me excited when I see content from my neck of the woods.
I turned 4 years old during the 1957 model year, and I dreamed about the 1957 Mercury as being the ideal car during that time. This video really shows how much better engine access is with a front-hinged hood.
Just watched the segment with you talking about being patient with the sponsor portion, I don't know about everyone else, but it's worth it to watch the 5 minutes of ad or whatever it is. The content on this channel is top notch, love it, keep doing what you guys are doing, no matter what it is it's amazing to watch! If you guys are ever in Ohio, hit me up! I got a hot rod shop if that's enticing! Keep it up guys! God bless
I was born in November of '56, by which time the '57s were already out. My uncle had a '57 Ford. No PCV valves in those days, just a crankcase breather tube.
I have followed this channel for a long time and this is one of the BEST I've seen! YES, MOOK and Kevin are awesome!!! But if I were standing on a street and that car passed by, HELL YEAH I'd be saying LOOK AT THAT CAR!! Yes, it needs full restoration and I hope he will do that because that is one classy old car! Thanks for everything you did! I hope we see it again, and again lol
Wow. My grandpa had a ‘57 4-door Monterey. Was super rare because most of the 4-doors were family cars that didn’t survive compared to the more desirable 2-dr. The lines on that car are gorgeous and just an insane amount of room everywhere. Thanks for this video, brought back so many memories.
What a beautiful old gem that is. Lucky guy to still have that in his possession. Amazing how quick and easy it started then run like new. I would replace the headliner and do like you said and keep washing and buffing that residue out of it wax it and let it be. And drive it some and enter it in parades and local car shows. Quite the conversation piece 👌 Great job
I always carry a bottle of rubbing alcohol and a thin cotton rag with me when I work on cars with points. Put alcohol on the corner of the rag, open up the points, slide the wet corner between the points and close the points on the rag and pull the rag out. You should now have clean points. It may take more than one cleaning and the alcohol evaporates immediately!
More difficult to park, but what a beauty. The old cars sure looked different. I too think it is a wonderful concept, just helping people get their old cars back on the road, especially the rare ones.
Great people skills Angus, you can really tell how much Ira is enjoying your visit! You could make it into a recurring segment; meet new people and get their cool cars to run.
Wow!!!! Somebody actually set the boat tank on the roof. I always did that when doing a will it run. With the tank up high, gravity feed of fuel makes it easy to ensure fuel flow to carb or pump.
Holy heck. This car has so many similarities to a car my father bought in the 70s and wanted to give me, yet I didn't have any place to keep it.... Was a '58 Edsel Pacer 4-door hardtop. The glass, the body lines, doors, fenders, hood hinges, teletouch transmission, interior... Jesus..
It's always good to see Angus and seeing an old 50's Mercury was even better. Just remember that the old steering bushings and front end rubbers tend to perish, hence why it handles like a boat. That might be something for Angus to show us by working on the steering and how to tighten them up so they steer better!
Beautiful antique! I'm stoked to see it again. Nice seeing Angus back as well. You could hear the pure astonishment in his voice. He enjoyed this one. So did I.
Just found this channel, I am based in the UK and I'm loving the content. This man was so friendly and seemed genuinely happy for you to help 👍 what a beautiful looking car, they never made them like that over here
What a cool old survivor car! I was pretty surprised when he said it had only been down 5 years. I bet he'll be really happy having it back on the road again :) Good work Angus!
Leave it to angus to get the sweetest cars to get going…this car was a beauty!!! Kinda jealous I am not able to ride in it, keep up the good work angus!!!
Pretty dang cool. The older I get the more beautiful I find these 50's cars styling. Those body panels and lines... And like you said, the heavy detent metal buttons and flashy dashes... So awesome. Glad this dude got to take his car for a ride again. Was a little nervous that first drive lol but it ended well!
Angus great job buddy getting this beauty on the road again. I used to own a 1964 Mercury Monterey. It had a 390, and man was she fun to drive she was a beast.
Absolutely beautiful car! I love the style, the character, the story, the spare wheel, and so much more! Awesome that it didn't take too much work either. Loved watching this video!
I love watching each Junkyard Digs video; such an awesome, fun, and talented team, but........ MORE ANGUS VIDEOS! You so comfortably built a rapport with this gentleman, allowing him to share that oh-so-cool Merc's story (was it lowered in the back???). This "help a person get their beloved vehicle back on the road" approach might be a "satisfying" twist on the "will it run" theme, particularly with unique cars like this 57 Merc. More content like this, Angus!
I love these old cars. Reminds me of watching Perry Mason and all the old Ford Mercurys and Lincolns. Big old beasts with lots of hardened steal and lots of chrome as well.
Bravo Angus,,, sharing this time with this owner is awesome... really appreciate your clear method of communicating and keep us non-technical viewers a clear understanding....
WOWOOWOWOWO BROOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!! THE BEST PART OF THIS VID WAS THE CLEAN-UP DAMNNNNNN THAT THING CAME OUT SOOO GOOD-LOOKING!!!! WHAT A RARE KOOL ASS LOOKING CAR THAT IS!!!!!!!! JUST SAYIN!!! THANKS, F.M.V.
I love that car and getting to see genuine Americana! As a child of the early 70's, i love seeing these older cars get renewed and refurbished by you guys!
Love the car. I've found that those thin air filters actually choke the motor down. Easy enough to find out just remove it while the motors running if the rpms go up it's to restrictive.
I think that that ‘57 Mercury is a true classic. The long rear deck is fabulous. The continental helps for sure, but the fender skirts do more for its great look. The 312 engine was and is great. I have not been a Ford enthusiast; I was a GM enthusiast in the 1060’s - my high school years. However, this ’57 Mercury, 4 door hard top, with the popular 50’s Ford pink roof, is wonderful. Thanks for resurrecting it and may the owner enjoy it for years to come.
Now that is a way cool car. I guarantee you Mr Orah (forgive me if i spelt wrong) has forgotten more about turning a wrench than we will ever learn about in our lifetime. Would love to see this one completely restored.
good video! my 1983 Nissan pickup, i put 1gallon of stale yellow gas in an almost full tank, the shellac hit the hot valves and when it cooled down it locked the valves completely. i had the head off twice took the valves out and got it going finally. new head gasket rwice new timing gear set wasnt cheap, it wasnt worth it, never again
I would love to say that ever since about a year ago when I found your TH-cam, my life has been sooo much better. Every time I see one of your videos I put down everything I’m doing to binge them. Thank you all!!
Angus, mate. Haven’t seen ya in yonks! Loved the video. I was surprised that it didn’t really take much to get the ol Mercury rippin again. I hope Ora drives it regularly, she deserves a weekly run to the servo for an ice cream. Maybe next vid, whack in a dual bowl brake master cylinder. 🇦🇺🤙🏼
One of my favorite videos! That guy reminds me a lot of my dad and I wish he'd buy something awesome like this for us to mess around with. He refuses to, but helps me with my crap boxes so there's that lol
ANGUS!!! I can only hope to god that these videos do just as good as a regular JYD vid. Angus boi is 100% as talented and entertaining as anybody else!! HE IS WORTHY
Angus has done a great job on this video. It wasn't a difficult restoration, but it was fun. And it was nice seeing the owner enjoying his car again. I hope he's been taking it out this summer.
I would have to say that out of all era's of cars and trucks that the 1950's are my top favorite. They had the most style to them imo, they were made to look good and they rode nice. Being the 50's they also had some cars with wacky designs to the just to be different. :)
Dear Angus,
I'm about halfway through the video currently. I really enjoy Kevin's videos here, but dude I really enjoy your videos too. Please know that you are appreciated. Cool video so far.
same, love Angus
Then he should start his own channel.
I 2nd That!
wheres KEVIN!!!!!!!!!!! sssssssssss
I love when Angus hosts a video, or just appears in one. He has great pacing in his very educational explainations and narration. Respectful and friendly with the owner, as well.
That's awesome helping an old timer take care of his pride and joy. Good on you buddy.
I'm of the opinion that old is the new young. My son is much less adventurous than I am, for example.
yeah cuz it probally would’ve sat there till he died. at least he can tinker with it and drive it around it what i love about old cars they are like time machines!
OLD TIMER??? He's not THAT old. A guy is not an OLD TIMER until he is over 80. SHEESH...Darned young pups.. no respect for Boomers or Gen Xers.... Calling us OLD...

I just want to say for the past 3 years I have been on this channel I enjoyed every video you posted keep up the good work 👍
Thank you!

I totally agree with you, l have 3 v8s plus a supercharged v6 commodore.
Nothing better than to put the pedal to the metal.
PS I just turned 70 😆😆😆👍👍👍
We dont really grow up, our toys just get bigger 😄
The first 40 years of childhood are the worst. After that it's manageable. 😁
THAT WAS A FANTASTIC VIDEO!!!

It’s a really great feeling seeing as young guy respectfully helping end working along side one of us older guys
How much it means to that guy to have someone interested in the car and get it cleaned up and running again has gotta be priceless.
Man, what an awesome car, and that Continental kit just really finishes the look. And she's so eager, too! Just rearing to go!

Gz on finishing it! Big feat!
Awesome!! Be proud!
How goes the book?
@@mikedelepine published back in July. Working on second
AWESOME!!!! Looks like it may need some rear springs and/or shocks. With modern road dips, that Continental Kit is in mortal danger.

2 good guys and 1 beautiful car! Angus seems like such a legend, love his sense if humour!
what was to cool was to see the owner of the car get involved and you could see him really having a good time and enjoying getting his car going.
That was a terrific video Angus! It was so neat to see you work with the owner. It was a good revival but also a good deed.
Wow. My grandpa had a ‘57 4-door Monterey. Was super rare because most of the 4-doors were family cars that didn’t survive compared to the more desirable 2-dr. The lines on that car are gorgeous and just an insane amount of room everywhere. Thanks for this video, brought back so many memories.
Excellent paying it forward, helping others brings true enjoyment for me.
ANGUS! You rock helping out your neighbor , and you make a great serious host but th smart a** is a hoot to when together with the gang. Great job!
What a beautiful old gem that is. Lucky guy to still have that in his possession.
Amazing how quick and easy it started then run like new.

I love seeing classic American cars being worked on. Would love an old V8 myself one day, but for now, can't beat these revival videos.
Ford wasn't shy about chrome back then. Most premium models had tons I guess. Those 3 colors work together well, too. 👍👍
No manufacturer was afraid of chrome
Looks great! A professional interior detail, new headliner, some cleanup in the engine bay is all she needs.
What a gorgeous car. My father managed to Mercury dealership so we had Mercury's for family cars and that 57 and 58 really turned some heads
More difficult to park, but what a beauty. The old cars sure looked different. I too think it is a wonderful concept, just helping people get their old cars back on the road, especially the rare ones.

It's good to see getting the old cars back on the road keep it up great job
I would love to own a car like that. Am from the UK, but america really knew how to style their cars back then. So beautiful!!!!!
Nice work helping the owner out with this one. She's A beautiful piece of running history!!
It's always good to see Angus and seeing an old 50's Mercury was even better. Just remember that the old steering bushings and front end rubbers tend to perish, hence why it handles like a boat. That might be something for Angus to show us by working on the steering and how to tighten them up so they steer better!
I’m only 2:25 in and I’m blown away! It just keeps getting better and better !!👍
Angus I think that fella really enjoyed your company and had a good time working on an old car with his new bud.
What a great car. And it’s fantastic that Angus has found it and that the owner is also such a great guy as well.
An excellent job! 👍
Always enjoy JYD and even more so when Angus is around, btw thx for helpin an old guy he sure looked like he enjoyed it
I love old cars like this. the class and architecture that was put into them was masterfully done.
Beautiful antique! I'm stoked to see it again. Nice seeing Angus back as well. You could hear the pure astonishment in his voice. He enjoyed this one. So did I.
I love the styling of 50s cars. I didn't know this model so that was fun to discover. Keep doing videos like this!!
Just found this channel, I am based in the UK and I'm loving the content. This man was so friendly and seemed genuinely happy for you to help 👍 what a beautiful looking car, they never made them like that over here
What a cool old survivor car! I was pretty surprised when he said it had only been down 5 years. I bet he'll be really happy having it back on the road again :) Good work Angus!
Leave it to angus to get the sweetest cars to get going…this car was a beauty!!! Kinda jealous I am not able to ride in it, keep up the good work angus!!!
Pretty dang cool. The older I get the more beautiful I find these 50's cars styling. Those body panels and lines... And like you said, the heavy detent metal buttons and flashy dashes... So awesome. Glad this dude got to take his car for a ride again. Was a little nervous that first drive lol but it ended well!
Angus great job buddy getting this beauty on the road again. I used to own a 1964 Mercury Monterey. It had a 390, and man was she fun to drive she was a beast.
Absolutely beautiful car! I love the style, the character, the story, the spare wheel, and so much more! Awesome that it didn't take too much work either. Loved watching this video!
Hands down the coolest mirror design I’ve ever seen. Can’t find a bad angle on this car
I love watching each Junkyard Digs video; such an awesome, fun, and talented team, but........ MORE ANGUS VIDEOS! You so comfortably built a rapport with this gentleman, allowing him to share that oh-so-cool Merc's story (was it lowered in the back???). This "help a person get their beloved vehicle back on the road" approach might be a "satisfying" twist on the "will it run" theme, particularly with unique cars like this 57 Merc. More content like this, Angus!
Super video Angus, really nice to have the owner involved. He looked so pleased to have it driving again.
Sweet ride. Dad had a 55 as his first car in/around 1960.
Always enjoyable when Angus shows up for a video.
I love these old cars. Reminds me of watching Perry Mason and all the old Ford Mercurys and Lincolns. Big old beasts with lots of hardened steal and lots of chrome as well.
Seeing him fall back in love with that old car is just the best thing. Angus did a very good thing. Period.
Bravo Angus,,, sharing this time with this owner is awesome... really appreciate your clear method of communicating and keep us non-technical viewers a clear understanding....
WOWOOWOWOWO BROOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!! THE BEST PART OF THIS VID WAS THE CLEAN-UP DAMNNNNNN THAT THING CAME OUT SOOO GOOD-LOOKING!!!! WHAT A RARE KOOL ASS LOOKING CAR THAT IS!!!!!!!! JUST SAYIN!!! THANKS, F.M.V.
you are such a lucky boy to be working on a car like that - good to see the smile on the owner's face!
have to admit (was binge watching this channel) I have missed Angus in the most recent videos
I love that car and getting to see genuine Americana! As a child of the early 70's, i love seeing these older cars get renewed and refurbished by you guys!
Love the car. I've found that those thin air filters actually choke the motor down. Easy enough to find out just remove it while the motors running if the rpms go up it's to restrictive.
It's a '57 low-end curb cruiser, it's choked for a purpose.
I think that that ‘57 Mercury is a true classic. The long rear deck is fabulous. The continental helps for sure, but the fender skirts do more for its great look. The 312 engine was and is great. I have not been a Ford enthusiast; I was a GM enthusiast in the 1060’s - my high school years. However, this ’57 Mercury, 4 door hard top, with the popular 50’s Ford pink roof, is wonderful. Thanks for resurrecting it and may the owner enjoy it for years to come.
That car needs to be garaged. It needs to be preserved.
I was thinking the same , at least have some sort of tent type cover .
That was a feel good video. You could feel through the tv the happiness from the owner. Like he turned young again.
Wow that was awesome
Angus is always fun to watch. He fits into your channel very well.
Everything was awesome and then you helped him wash it up…thats incredible. You guys rock. This is the best automotive channel anywhere.
Nice one Angus! I had one of these blast past me just last week - in the UK!
Nice smooth ride, need general maintenance, tune up, fluids, Lube etc.. nice detail, headliner, she is ready for cruise night, at local meet ups/
Now that is a way cool car. I guarantee you Mr Orah (forgive me if i spelt wrong) has forgotten more about turning a wrench than we will ever learn about in our lifetime. Would love to see this one completely restored.
When I was a kid ,my neighbors had cars like this. I didn't think much about it at the time, but now I appreciate how classy cars like this are.
I can tell the old man had a good time watching Angus. Sweet old car was ready to go.
That is one of the most beautiful cars I have ever seen and you did a smashing job Angus, well done!
I'm a huge fan thanks for the content I'm 12 years old and you,'ve inspired me all the thing I know a boy cars is from you and mook thanks again.
Really enjoy this episode! Hearing his laughter while you’re wrenching away is golden.
Looked like you made your neighbors day, hope you find more of them.
Congrats Kevin on getting ur Neighbor's 57 Mercury up and running/driving too. cool car..
You've become a great addition to JYD . Ora seems like everyone's cool uncle. Nice work .
good video! my 1983 Nissan pickup, i put 1gallon of stale yellow gas in an almost full tank, the shellac hit the hot valves and when it cooled down it locked the valves completely. i had the head off twice took the valves out and got it going finally. new head gasket rwice new timing gear set wasnt cheap, it wasnt worth it, never again

That’s was awesome angus you got to play with that beautiful car and you helped the guy out by getting it running again your a good guy 👍👍👍
Dude, I love Angus. You need more videos dude! Cant wait to see what more you and Kevin have for us!
ANGUS!!! I can only hope to god that these videos do just as good as a regular JYD vid. Angus boi is 100% as talented and entertaining as anybody else!! HE IS WORTHY
Have Angus take over the channel. He has the best revival. Just kidding. Angus does an outstanding job! This is a cool old car.
Angus has done a great job on this video. It wasn't a difficult restoration, but it was fun. And it was nice seeing the owner enjoying his car again. I hope he's been taking it out this summer.
I would have to say that out of all era's of cars and trucks that the 1950's are my top favorite. They had the most style to them imo, they were made to look good and they rode nice. Being the 50's they also had some cars with wacky designs to the just to be different. :)
