If it were me..I would not waste good content time justifying to haters what my channel is all about. Those of us, which obviously massively outnumbers the detractors, are loving what your channel brings to the table.👍
Hey Chris just wanted to say thank you for the great videos. I am 17yr. You inspired me to start my own project. I bought a 1996 Ford Ranger for 300$, replaced all the brake lines, new tires replaced the clutch and pressure plate. I should be able to sell it for 2,500$ would not of done this project without your videos! Keep it up!
Heck yeah man that's so awesome to hear!
Awesome man.
Great to hear this, Corbo. Learning how to do this kind of work will serve you well and you'll be able to pass the skills along to your kids someday. Keep it up!
go man
Your hooked now for life,the hunt is just as rewarding as putting something back on the road that's been sitting .good luck to you.
A 1955 Oldsmobile saved my Mother's life, and mine as a baby when she rolled it on black ice and slid upside down into a frozen field. My Father said that if it wern't for that "wrap-around" windshield we would not have made it. And my favorite car of all time is the 70's Olds 455 Rocket that I learned to drive on, love seeing this old 1959!
Growing up, the vast majority of my neighbors worked for Olds, so my neighbor had a 1959 Olds just like the one in this show. Occasionally, I would ride to or from school in a 59 Olds…
I grew up about 30 miles north of Lansing Michigan (home of Oldsmobile) In the 80’s, when Olds Cutlas was the number one selling car, the aluminum wheels on them came from Motor Wheel, also a Lansing company,as was Wohlert corp. who made ring gears that went on the flywheels.
Btw, that Century inboard boat was likely made in Manistee, Michigan. Cris-Craft wasCadillac , Michigan.
My wife’s grandfather worked for AC Delco in Flint, Michigan and willed us a 1964 dynamic 88 when he passed. Has the 394 rocket and is a beautiful car. Unfortunately it spun a bearing and rebuild kits are $$$$
@@wesleysimpson3730 long since gone I grew up in Montrose burt
I really like the videos I just recently became a subscriber. Hopefully you guys come around Missouri St Louis area I would like to meet you guys
Oldsmobile had some of the classiest looking cars. The factory horn was awesome, perfect tone.
It's a shame that Oldsmobile and Mercury are gone. They were two very coveted marques that stood out for GM and Ford.

Love these things!
The point is, how much I enjoy watching you methodically go through all the steps to get these running. Very enjoyable.
That's what it's all about. 😉 It's a KISS (Keep It Simple Stupid) thing to me.
Gotta love those old commercials. Thanks for including it.
Yeah don't listen to the people criticizing these types of videos. You are hands down my favorite "Will it run" TH-camr and these videos are so therapeutic for me 😂 Love seeing people keeping old things working. It's a dying trade!
Diggin this so far. What a beautiful place.
Lots of Americana for a Brit like me
I was just sitting here after work saying to myself I haven’t seen a nnkh video in a bit. I’m sure it’s great. Your awesome man!! Keep up the fun projects!! 🤘🏼🤘🏼
I sold Atlas Cushionaire tires back in the early 1970's when I worked at my local Enco station in my home town as a teenager.
I truly believe Gus has decided that this is where he wants to live!
Many of us think the same way.....
@@TheDutchPathFinder1 - Yea.......Gus is not wrong.
Can't believe how fast those short legs can propel Mr Gustav
In the early 90's (in New Zealand)a friend took one of these ( actually it was a ninety eight with a 394 )for a test drive and I went with him ' my friend likes to see how they go with a sharp stab of the accelerator ' I remember the back end sinking down and the skinny tires squealing and the feeling of an enormous amount of torque ' it was a lesson on how strong American cars of that era run .
I love that Gus is in on all of the adventures. He looks pretty happy to be included as well. Just a happy little Gus. Doing happy little Gus things. 🙂
Since the 59 Buick and the 59 Chevrolet in I'm using these two as an example have the same kind of roller bearing setup, I just took front hubs off a 1966 Impala and used the tapered bearing setup along with the brake drum and it fit just perfect
I have my parents 58 cadillac they bought in 1960 . I was only 1 year old. I remember driving in it to family reunions from palm springs California to Missouri in 1964, 65, and 66. It has the rare factory AC which certainly made the trips comfortable as they were always held in July. And the optional power windows. Mom finally gave it to me in 1982, she was well aware I wanted it! Lifelong Southern California car. In good shape, and still going down the road. I'm 64 now and the car is 65. We're growing old together! 😊. Enjoying your videos and good work!!
I lived in Hawaii 73' to 75' My VW was in the shop for a few days. Mean while I bought the rustiest car in the world for $50 a 59 Olds to drive while the VW was being fixed. On my way to get the VW in Hilo I picked up a Hippy hitch hiking. Seemed like a pretty nice dude, so I pulled out the title when we got there, and signed the Olds over to him. As he pulled away he gave me the peace sign with a great big grin on his face, and the fenders flapping in the wind.
Cars were works of art back then. Nowadays, we drive plain tin cans. It must have been incredible to be alive in the 50s driving these cars and going to car meets or the local burger joint. What I would do to go back in time and experience it. My grandpa said times were 20 times better back then. People actually had fun outside. 😂
Depends who you were I guess. The golden age is done, but at least we don’t make the black folks use a different drinking fountain.
@Joe always have to bring race into something huh? How's that white guilt feel for you?!
Nowadays, we drive e-waste mobiles.
A tin can would be an upgrade from the plastic crap we have now.
@@swamp-yankee If you take away the racism it was.Almost everyone had a 2 parent family. That's what made it better.
Great episode. I can't get enough of Gus, He looks and acts just like my Dachshund Marvin who we rescued from the side of the road in 1998 he lived with us until 2013. I don't remember Marvin running that fast. Gus is like a Rocket 88 himself.
If you’re on site it’ll run
Good one😁
Site……
@@YeOldeGeezer good catch lol
Good insight!
I gotta a 59 2 door Biscayne and a 59 4 door Belair. They on the project list. Just gotta get a few in front of them finished. Looks like you guys had fun. Especially Gus.
'59 GM cars are some of the most iconic jet-age styled cars ever. I'd love to have that thing!
'59 and '60 were off the chain. '60 Plymouth Fury, '59 Chrysler 300, '59 Buick Electra, and too many more to list...but the '59 and '60 Olds Dynamic 88 are total perfection. They do the space age thing without being tacky. The '59 Buick Electra might be the most iconic of all these cars. Jet Set. :)
Excellent
That is a car with character!
I think she’s a beauty!
😎
I agree! And really solid too
That horn cracked me up. 😂 When you think of a classic car horn that’s exactly how I hear it in my head.
A little brake work and an interior refresh and you got a nice cruiser 👍
That's one sweet ride. Love all those unique styling qualities. If anyone can bring it back to life, you will...
Chris, mate do what you do !! Let the armchair mechanics have their say from their cellars or garages mate, enjoy watching everything you do, learning a whole lot which helps me on my 98, 4 runner with 250,000 and runs like a champ. Keep trucking my friend
Lol I love that 60s commercial insert all the time hilarious = if only life was as simple anymore
Nice old car! Of course the four barrel option was cool, but this one is great too.
Love your fancy free style. You mix working on cars and playtime seemlessly! You, Jennifer and Gus make great companions. Take care!
If you have any questions whether this guy knows his stuff go back a few videos when he had his truck that he's driving today underwater at a boat ramp and I wonder whether it was all freshwater or a mixture of saltwater and freshwater but he took it apart piece by piece and repaired about 95% of it and it's still on the road..... impressive
50’s styling was great and that’s one of the best looking, inside and out.
I always loved the amazing visibility you get in those old cars with the thin pillars and wraparound windshields
Good to see folks preserving these old gems.
For me the year 1959 is the peak year of the rocket era, all the American brand cars produced for that year are in fact very desirable because from a design point of view it is the year in which they are, in my opinion, the most architectural, the most similar to spaceships.
And Oldsmobile's are my favorite, I find them so beautiful and well proportioned, they are works of art.
Back in the 60s here in my hometown of bellflower ca. , the low riders put that steering wheel on their 49-54 Chevys . Naturally it was pushed back towards the driver a bunch and much higher . Looked cool !!! Cheers , Neil
Thanks for savin' one of those 59' classics. ❤
Great video, I am excited for your new garage but was also a little sad to see the old one gone. Looking forward to that video and hopefully a video of you organizing your new workspace and all your inventory!
Pretty sure he said the new garage would be tall enough to have a lift in it. That would be such a great tool to help work on things.
I love the body shape of the car...really cool rear end! Definitely would like to see a part 2.
Keep up the great work Chris. Thoroughly enjoy your videos. Ian in the UK
Love it when you fire up your battery operated blower before you start tinkering with anything and blow off all the trash. Not many fellas on TH-cam bother. they just let trash fall into the spark plug holes, etc. For the time it takes - why wouldn't you? Guess that's why you are the NoNonsense man! 😊 You're over on my side of the state -Pittsburgh region. Welcome! I'm looking at those two massive horns in the giant cavity between the grill and the radiator. What an echo chamber! And about 32 min in you had the same idea. Great minds and all that... Gus has a crazy energy. Bet the puppy slept like a rock when he went down for the night.
I have a 59 Buick I found in a barn , this was awesome
Love the '59 Buicks.
Beautiful old Olds. Thank you for bringing us along. You, Jen and Gus are the best.
Some beautiful drone shots of the river.
Love you channel! I’m 60 and this reminds me of my Dad’s 59, 2 door Impala. It was 12 years old when he got it but he loved that car!! Great memories. Pro tip… I used to be a mechanic at a GM dealership. I noticed you using a screwdriver to pry the grease cap off of the front drum. I always liked taking a pair of channel-locks and opening them up wide the put the jaws at 12 and 6 o’clock then give a gentle squeeze and rock the cap up and down an it pops right off. I even had the right snap-on tool for that but preferred the channel-locks. By the way the grease caps proper name is “hub cap”. The things the we all call hub caps are “wheel covers”. Keep up the good work!
Chris, it's always refreshing to see your videos, especially the ones with Jen and Gus in them. Great material, please keep it coming.
Great video as always. 19:56 cracked me up, the pain of crawling under a vehicle just to have to crawl back out haha
IKR? Thought the same thing too.
Always so much variety in your videos....Love the 59 Oldsmabubble !!
Another Double N KH action video
One of TH-cam’s finest.. Like those old commercial inserts you add .. Keep em coming Chris 💯
I used to drive a 70 Olds Delta 88, I called it a Chevelle killer because the Rocket Motor would eat them alive. Two door car but a little bigger than a Chevelle, but that Rocket motor would eat a 396 every time.
The thing I remember that was most striking about this year Olds was the steering wheel!
Maybe it's my age (52) but I really love these 50s cars and always have since I was a kid amazing looking cars inside and out and I watch alot of you guys in the US take find these old cars and trucks and with relatively minimal work they fire back to life after sitting in barns or fields for decades even the tyres take air I wish the same could be said about the British cars from the same era
Keep doing what your doing it's really great to watch
Yah, the horn was great and the owner was very happy, thanks Chris, Jen, Gus.
It always makes me feel better to listen to this feed while I drive. I learn things in every episode. Very inspiring.
Awesome! Thanks so much for tuning in
I do hope you get the chance to do the brakes in the future, I'd love to see it out on the open road.
For a Brit. born in 53 all these older era American motors are really fascinating to me, I wouldn’t be able to rate individual makes and models, just not well enough informed, did know someone with an Oldsmobile Cutlass which I loved. Thank you for your content on this channel, thoroughly enjoy it 👍🙂
My first car was a 1960 dynamic 88 when I in high school back in 1977 had all the bells and whistle. Wish I had never sold that car, a lot of good memories connected to that car.
Had a 59 Bel- air. Love the look of those cars. Mine had 3 on the tree straight 6, 2 door with a green metallic paint. This guy has some really cool stuff!!
Love that car, nice overall condition. Good restoration candidate or a great rust repair and touch up driver.
Awesome video and car! My father has a 1960 Super 88. Same body style. 59-60 with a few updates for 60. It's the car in the air scoop brake video. Good to see another saved.
16:03 holy shit gus is fast! he kept up with chris on the scooter especially with his little legs its amazing!
What an awesome car man, great job getting her back up! I bet you are excited to get into the new shop. Looking forward to seeing the progress. Thanks for the great videos, I really enjoy them!
SWEET!!!!! I admit I shed a few tears when they stopped the production of Oldsmobiles. My first car was a 78 Delta 88 Royale and I instantly feel in love with the ride, comfort and power of the 350 Olds.
My dad and I had a 76 Delta Oldsmobile . I wish we kept it.
My granddaddy had a Cadillac of the same vintage. Wish I had that car. Thanks for this!
Brings back so many memories. My mom and dad were in their Pontiac station wagon when they were T-boned and the car was totalled. They needed a new station wagon right away and the Oldsmobile dealer had one. It was a brand new SUPER 88, not a mere Dynamic 88, in white and gold two tone. The problem was that the new model year was just beginning and the new 68’s were just off the truck and couldn’t be released until the official release date. Detroit made a big deal of it back then and when we were shown the car it was in the back of the dealership and covered with a big white sheet. My dad signed all the papers and in three or four days the big day had come and we got the car. I was 12 then and it was totally cool to drive around in one of the first ‘68 Oldsmobiles to hit the streets. People stared and pointed at us. The new model year was a BIG deal back then.
Great times, man!
Fun time, great video, amazing people, what else are you looking for ? This channel rocks
You two are awesome! Content! Quality! Scripting! Editing! and natural appeal! - My Uncle had a '59 - 98 Convertible - My Dad a '68 - 98 Convertible - In the 80's while in the USAF, I got and restored a '68 - Cutlass S convertible. The Oldsmobile engines were always so smooth and powerful even if only a 2brl.
I love the vintage commercial! I think all will it run videos should show the vintage sales commercial in them! Too cool! I love the 59 and 60s general motors cars. Especially the impala 👍
I always pre fill my oil filters also, if it's been running really there's no need as the heads not dry. But no point is a dry start if yoy can fill it might as well. Gus is such a happy lil guy dude, you got a great little friend there. I'm gonna get a dochson just cuz of him!!! 😊
Agreed with filling the oil filter. I do it no matter what even on an average daily driver. Because that's just how I was taught. 🤷♂️
Chris, always love your vid's thank you for your time editing great content. Don’t think that big bird wouldn't fit on our uk roads. Well done & as always keep wrenching buddy 👍
Brother I just found your channel (both of em and Jen’s) like 3 weeks ago and have watched all your videos. Great work my guy!
Awesome! Thanks so much for tuning in Matt and also thanks for becoming a member.
16:09 Jen justa flippin an a floppin though the field 🤭 luv it...can't wait to see the new work shop ...and build?
Man I sure appreciate your videos. Between your knowledge, patience and overall demeanor it is just the best channel on TH-cam. Thank you.
Это очень красивый автомобиль! Привет из России! Люблю Ваши видео!
Love when you get an alert on your phone and it's a new no-nonsense video. I don't know if it was in a video and I missed it but what ever happend to your squirrel buddy?
Great video! It even included wild turkeys gobbling down by that lake.
Thank you for making these videos.
Those old cars all have a soul and a story to tell. There's just not a lot of those old cars like that around anymore. The younger generation they are finally looking at the old car styling versus a jelly bean on wheels.
"Fell on the ground and hit your face while riding the scooter" - That's the story you told the wife, right?😊
Chris, your videos always bring a smile to my face. I love seeing your love for these old cars, man.
Another great adventure with you both ! Thanks again for another great video of a great classic !
First I've seen of that type of brake setup. Cool car and video!
Such a cool car ! Would love to see more of it !
Cool I noticed reverse thread on the wheel spindle. I enjoyed this. You couldn’t ask for a more chill “will it run”. Comes with a cabin and some chill time. NICE Chris !
Met you guys at the river valleys tavern in AZ. My grandpa (from the tavern) sadly passed away today. I showed him your channel and he liked it. God bless you guys
I got my NNKH merch this week! put the sticker on my car, i'm promoting NNKH in The Netherlands. really love this channel. beats ''normal'''tv anyday. very curious about the new garage
Yessss thanks :D been waiting for a video since last week , I've just been watching your old old ones in between , that's a sick car! Would love to go to America and buy a big American classic
👍👌👏 It's quite impressive how fast cute little Gus 💚 is able to run with his relatively short legs. I'm totally obsessed with this happy little guy since his first appearance on this great channel. What a wonderful and beautiful dog.
Working on the old stuff and seeing the mechanical ways things were done are still amazing.
Super sweet car! And yes, that has to be the best horn on a car ever!
The '64 Country Sedan we had when I was a shaver had a similar mellifluous hi/lo tone horn. I can still hear it.
I'm so happy to see this I've been waiting for a video
Good ol’ Olds and even better countryside. A very good video. Thanks!
Hey Chris my name is Elliot I'm a subscriber from Oregon Portland Oregon and I wanted to tell you man I really really really enjoy this channel it's something I watch everyday I watch all your updates and watch all your stuff You're absolutely brilliant mechanic some of the stuff you do is just man it it's pretty mind-blowing I'm on automotive service manager and and technician by trade by heart and I love what you do man keep up all the good work can't wait to see the updates on the suburban and the new garage I wish you guys and Jen really well🎉🎉❤❤❤❤❤😊😊
So many cool cars in the U.S, that '59 Oldsmobile is no exception. Tons are just tucked away in spots like this, proper barn finds. I'm currently visiting the U.S from New Zealand so I'm hoping I can see some on my travels.
P.S We're in Philly next week, any food spots worth visiting??
Lots of cool vehicles here indeed! And hard to go wrong with a decent food spot in philly. So many great options. Just make sure to grab a cheese steak from somewhere. Jim's steaks on South Street is a great spot or of course there's Geno's Steaks
@@NoNonsenseKnowHow Thanks man! If I'm being honest, I pretty much booked a trip there just for a cheesesteak... they don't really exist back home! Great video also, looking forward to the next.
Chickes and Pete's. Good food. Any steak shop. South street down town Philly. Pretty happening street.
@@Oldobsfordsusa94 Good stuff - thanks mate. Will scope them out!
What a great looking car👌
An old North Carolina car, that's where I'm at. That sticker said North Carolina Department of Motor Vehicles. Glad we don't have those ugly stickers here any more. With this car I think I would redo the interior, completely rebuild the brakes, new tires and wheels, and leave the patina the way it is, it looks pretty cool. Protect it with a number of products that will give it a good sheen. Shine up all the chrome and stainless and ready for the car shows! Another good one back to life, great job guys!! Appreciate what y'all do!
That's a beaut Clark!! love that thing Its one of the original "10 ins" as we called em -- Like the big Buicks (think Electra 225) 3 up front , 4 in the back and 3 in the trunk! 10 in the drive in for the movie! They used to have just a single charge per car not per person on Sundays so we took advantage of that
Здравствуй Крис! Спасибо за твои увлекательные , познавательные видео, ты даешь вторую жизнь машинам и это здорово! С не терпением жду твои видео и очень хочеться увидеть твой новый гараж, то как ты воплощаешь свою мечту в реальность.
Hi Love you Videos men
I found this channel a couple months back and absolutely love it.
My only problem... my productivity has gone down because I can just sit and watch these videos hours on end! Keep it up!
Love the vintage Oldsmobiles!! Thanks for making this one mate, one of my favorites! cheers :)
