1934 Kingsbury Chrysler Airflow Light Up Sedan Restoration
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 2 ต.ค. 2024
- I purchased this 1934 Kingsbury Chrysler Airflow Light Up Sedan off eBay July of 2020. The wheels were ready to fall off this one, the wind up mechanism did not work, nor did the headlights and tail lights. It was missing the battery retainer otherwise was all there. This one fought me in numerous ways. When I stripped the old coating off the parts, the factory grille dissolved in a matter of seconds, evidently I should not have tried stripping the coating. I ordered a factory one for replacement when it comes in, however to make the video for this weekend I made a custom one just for now. The factory spring clip for the drive assembly snapped during reassembly and I had to improvise with a short spring and push clip. It worked well, however I was still saddened that It was not the correct parts, I will continue to look for a replacement clip to fix this correctly in the future. While reassembling, I missed installing the insulators under the light bulb contactors at first and had to remove and reinstall them after. Other than the slight mishaps, I am extremely thrilled with how this little car works. It drives well, and I love the clicking sound as you wind up the spring. The tail light is my favorite part of this hole car. Thank you for watching!

My son Lucas is 4 and we watch one of your videos every night at bedtime. He was laughing his butt off for a solid 10 minutes over the sheep getting sucked out of the car at the beginning. He gives you a literal thumbs up every time you tap the subscribe on the sand blaster. Thank you for these videos. He now wants to."rescue" toys from the garbage himself, lol
From one of your littlest fans, "Hi! More sheeps please!"
Congratulation chip Channel the Fábio and Rafael from Brazil. The best restauration of Chrysler Airflow 1934. Long life the Channel.
The design of this car is really beautiful and sublimated by your restoration, we knew how to make stylish toys at that time
Yup; back when old-school cars only needed one taillight
Excellent restoration, but oh, the poor cyclopeep..... His one staring roll.... Thanks for another great vid.
The hate can’t outweigh the talent of this person.haters never win.
I guess the grill is in my eyes not good, and you forgot the iso paper, greetings from germany, dont forget to feed the sheeps
I like the makeshift grill, shows creativity and resourcefulness. I thought it added character.
Вы просто мастер с большой буквы. Браво.
Omg Cyclops is behind the wheel 😂🤣😂
I love these videos and the sheep are too cute. Sandblasting is my favorite part of your videos. Tonka toys were the best back in the day.
Amazing work. I am new to the channel and spent the last week catching up. Watching these transformation restoration videos is addictive and very soothing. Good for the soul.
даришь вторую жизнь машинкам. круто. успеха тебе.
This was a luxury toy for 1934. Glad to see it properly restored.
Love it! Especially cause green is my favorite color
I am Laughing while screaming at the TV, " You forgot the insulating paper for the electrical parts". I enjoy this channel.
I'm a big Cyclops fan, always look for him...!
I wonder when he realised he hadn't put them in?
Amazing work buddy! I restored a Jeep Wagoneer on my channel!
Great toy and a nice restoration. Glad the metal was in such good shape when the paint was removed.
Wow! What a fabulous restoration. That car is absolutely Incredible. I love that you wind it up and off it goes. The flock seem to love it too Wee.
Very classy! With real lights from 1934! Who knew!
Awesomeness! My fav part of the week, new video from Chip Channel!
i watch your clips as soon as they come out. i really like seeing what you have to do to restore these toys. But i
LOVE THE SHEEP. it's like the early movie serials "the perils of Pauline".
Amazing work here Chip! That is one COOL toy!!!
5:45 "Made in the USA" aw the good old days when things were built at "home" to last and entertain several generations of children. 😊 9:43 wow thats a lot of pieces, the manufacturing from back in the day is so under appreciated! 😮 I think I would have cried when the OG grille disappeared before my eyes, but you hung in there hopefully somehow you find a replacement.
I try to count the sheep, but always fall asleep.
What's also taking place with me 🤠 😉 is that; I'm also on the 💺 ⛵ 🔎🔍 search for, 1/24th plastic ⚖️ scale 📳 model RVs. Such as like the 🗝️ old ⏳⌛ timer 1960s, 70s and 80s 🏆 Winnebagos.

@@jimenarubio766 Restoring these iron toy trucks have a lot in common; it all depends on what the engineer restores, I've seen the old timer Mattel Electronics Intellevision VG (Video Game) console, get restored. This is in the case of; how to restore anything, that anyonewants restored.😳 😀 😄 😬 😉 🙄 😳
I got 12...
Most excellent restore job as usual. The one tail light is unique.
Something about this toy being rwd amuses me greatly
I think it needs an alignment.
Can't wait to see the permanent grill.
Thank you for teaching me that zip tie lesson with the spring. I would have learned that the hard way. I am sure I will use that skill when restoring my own cars for my TH-cam channel. I have a bunch of Matchbox and Hot Wheels done, and a Tonka. I am looking for more cars like that one to restore.
Thanks again for the time you take to make these great videos.
That looks like something Bonnie and Clyde would drive in the Bonnie and Clyde movies 1934 and something million Airhart drove.
That piece came out beautifully! I almost want to be a sheep and go for a ride!
What a beautiful restoration! Thanks for sharing!
Enjoyed the restoration. I hope that the temporary grille is replaced with one that looks more original. Great job!
I really like your channel. You're very talented. I watch other restoration channels and criticize how they do things. "Well, CCR wouldn't do it like that". Some people!
I love the little sheep and always look for the cyclops one!
I always find your restorations of Tonka vehicles so great and I am very enthusiastic about the heart and soul that you invest in these vehicles!
P. S. I live in Germany and I am an absolute fan of you and Tonka!
You should work on more 1930s era vehicles. I love the deco art style of those.
Very nice job. Looks like you have some sheep ready for cruze night.
Me: No way he can restore this
Chip Channel: Hold my 🔧
Hola
Wow!!
So glad to see a new restoration by you!!
Great work!!
By the way... you don't need another grill, man!! That one is pretty cool and... is made by you!!
🙂👍 My admiration from Sevilla!!
Cheers!!
The Cat its so Adorable🐱❤
Very nice!!!!!!! 👍👍👍👍👍
outstanding restoration.
The one eyed minion sheep(sheepclops) always makes me slightly uneasy. Still love the content though!
Look at what happens when you let a flock of junkyard sheep go joyriding! Crashing into walls, runnin' each other over....Cyclops should've known better than to drive after having an eye procedure! LOL!!
Interesting restoration, it being a wind-up car w/ 3 lights. I didn't put 2 + 2 together for some odd reasons that there was a lit-up taillight because I was trying to figure out what the mechanism on the bottom was for. Nice restoration!!
I loved the wonky wheel as you pulled it in lol
👍👍 Beautiful restoration!!
Just wonderful. I like the temp. grill better then the one it came with.
Surprisingly complex.
Those sheep of yours crack me up and I like Beaker’s cameos at the end of every video.
You do such a fantastic job on every restoration! My favorite parts are the sandblasting bit and when the paint powder in the baking process turns shiny. Those are ASMR for me.
I appreciate the grill much more now that I realize the other one dissolved. Good job on the replacement! Show us a pic when the new one comes in!
Hey Chip I hope you’ve had a great day.. I really like. This car it’s a real beauty! Amazing craftsmanship and restore!.Better get in bed before Santa sees your awake or he might skip your house?lol Don’t worrry I’m sure everyone told him that you had been good all year lol! Merry Christmas to you and yours. Peace out🤟🎄
Great job! Missed this somehow. Please ensure you fit seatbelts for the stunt team sheep.
Cool looking temp grill!!!
Excellent! Now with added sheep!
It is very healing and careful, I have two immature suggestions: the speed of the car can be shown in slow motion at the end, and the color of the car paint is more retro and more perfect. Your work is so meticulous and touching, like and cheers 😃
Love that car-azy Art Deco grille! Maybe you can save it for a custom.
I agree. I love it
Loving your videos. Lisa
Hey Chip really digging those funky jaunty jalopy wheels.
I love this car it looks really cool and vintage don't get me wrong I like the lights I like the everything the only problem I would fix is the hubcap color I would paint them silver with the powder paint and see if they had black rubber Wheels instead of white rubber Wheels and I wish they had a second brake light instead of one but I enjoyed the restoration good job dude and I love the color that you stuck with the greenish blue and that's good 👍🏼
Grill looks fine!!
Very nice Chip!!
Wow Szuper work Masterful Beutiful from Hungary
Thank God you're changing that grill at a later date, but otherwise a nice restoration.
Peace
Li
Love the styling of this car.
nice work. I am not crazy about the grill rebuild. Somehow it looks off to me, the rest of the car is fantastic
Muito Show as suas restaurações..
Beutiful job i knew you could do it proud of you
Не забывай больше снимать на видео кота!!!😊
What an incredible restoration project. With all the bits and pieces, it seemed more involved than ever. I really enjoyed watching you work on it. Beautiful!
جذ
Outstanding job!
Securing the spring with zip ties was brilliant
I agree! Hopefully I will remember that the next time I have to deal with a spring.
As soon as I saw him holding the spring I said "Well you're about to have a mess". I should have known better. This guy is one of the best, for sure.
I was impressed with that as well.
yeah i caught that too ... what a way round eh ?
Good job my friend
It's definitely a beauty and my favorite one yet. Glad it's getting a replacement grill later. Too bad about the original one.
Adorable cotton ball sheep AND a cat? How can the other restoration channels compete? :D
У него золотые руки👍
Love all the sheep!
Réellement un très beau boulot.
Wow!! What a beauty!!!
Amazing !!! Thank you
🎖🏆Excelente... Genial... Saludos desde Viña del Mar Chile🇨🇱
Oh Chip, I really don't think you should let the one eyed sheep drive anymore! Glad to see 👀 the stitches are out! Great job!
I’m more concerned about the ones with the bandaids. 😥
Why not let the one eyed sheep drive? At least he keeps his eye on the road.
Another great one!
Cool car & sheep!!!
As old as this is im wondering if between the windup mechanism and the headlights if it wasn't magneto powered originally...neat toy and awesome resto.
Ever since I saw that car in your junk pile, I had the thought that it looks a lot like the car Superman is holding up on the cover of Action Comics #1. It would be awesome if you created a diorama of that cover using that car! Does anyone agree?
I can totally see it! Maybe a Super Sheep instead though.
That would be great
I take it the "Ugggggh" by the mutant sheep means "I'm OK". Either that or you gave him a migraine! LOL I had a good laugh at that. I love the sheep. Interesting car to restore. Looks good!
edit- Some soldering seems to adhere better if you use flux to clean the metal first. Or at least it was back when I did stained glass back in high school way back in the 90s. :)
Nice job!
George Plimpton was 76 years old 🗝️, when he passed away in/on September 25th, 2003.
It's a shame about the grille but I like the new one. Thanks for posting.
The disappearing grill in the acid trick KAOS would be proud
Since I've just mentioned the Graymark Robot 🤖 Kits; earlier on before, I didn't think 🤔 that George Plimpton 🎲 died 18 years ago. Duane G. Shelton; best remembers George Plimpton as, the spokesperson for Mattel ⚡💡 Electronics Intelevision VG (video game) 🎯🎮 console.
Cool!👍🏻
"I think Lola Pagola was in on it, Chief!"
@@georgeshelton6281 What?
You could say...*rips off sunglasses*...he missed it, by that much.
HEEEEYEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!!!
You should Have Many More Sud's that what you have !!!!!!!!!!!!!
Another outstanding restoration
I'm new in the channel. Great work. I'd prefer you to restore the grill instead to build another one.
I mean it's not just that the table is crowded but that you can't really appreciate all the beautiful work because they're all smooshed together
I only recently found your channel, and enjoy your work very much. Also, the sheep are freakin hysterical!!!! Please keep up the awesome work!!
The sheep are awesome
Dear "Chip",
Wonderful work!
If it's allowed here a few ideas/ thoughts from my point of view as a tin plate (clockwork toys) friend (if you like, check my website out - same name as channel):
1) You should have only polished the "chrome" parts. In the 1930's very often they were only nickel plated. Chroming on toys was very rare, same for gramophone tone arms etc... (but H.M.V./The Gramophone Company - Hayes UK - did !)
2) VERY often LESS is MORE... Better to hold the max. of the original parts possible, for example - the cable, it's straight copper and old rubber/textile around it, form my point of view no need to change that.
3) NEVER, NEVER (!) clean a mainspring in an ultrasonic bath! They ALL get SOFT, yes SOFT...! (Losing power).
The spring steel softens due to the U.S.-sound waves.
4) You are using very good tools, sometimes, in this video I thought you were a bit rough in removing parts (spring hold clip)
5) A mainspring is greased (I use molykote BR2, a long life + 20 years graphite grease). For cleaning you take the spring apart. You start with removing the centre, recoiling it towards to outer. To redo a centre or outer/hole, put a flame (candle) on the place needed to be bent. This helps to bent and to avoid a further break at that spot.
6) Mechanics (gears, mainspring) are best cleaned in lighter fluid (clean gasoline).
7) I would have reused the insulator-papers (original parts)
8) I think it was a great that they DIDN'T (the factory 1930's) used soldering for contacts. The headlights could have been put in with the holes wiped out at the car body inside rim with sand-paper before. No paint scratching needed, nor soldering.
9) glueing the driven wheels: any out of alingement/excenter costs driving/clockwork power. Centreing is everything.
10) ! :
ALL the rest is BEAUTIFUL done! (lets say 80%!)
The sheeps remind me at shawn the sheep from britain! VERY cute!
Bravo - grand grille
My Grandfather had a 1938 or 9 Plymouth. Can't remember the model but his only came with one tail light. Wonder when manufacturers started with double tail lights. But anyway....Great job!👍
I like Your work an enjoy every second.
You're a very kind and nice man - Your animal tells me. 🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑
As I wrote, I like You but love Your cat. 🐈⬛👌🏻
I know they'll be replaced even 4:30 in, but those wheels/tires could be saved. Drill out and install an oversized bearing.
Everything was great, but it would be better if you didn't change the front window, I think the fabric accessories are better
