The instant motion cheetah had a different style door that car looks more like an original Cheetah road racing version I have a fiberglass Trends version for you to compare to
@@RideswithChuck I took another look at the video and indeed its a "Chummy" Coupe. Its a coupe styling, but a second seat in the back with a folding front seat. Several makers had this style of vehicle. I heard the term "Chummy" from a fellow who owned I think it was a 1920's Moon Chummy. This was 60 years ago. I asked him to explain, and he opened the door, and flipped the seat forward, and there it was... A back seat, a chummy one, in a COUPE! "Chummy" was a fluent in vogue word back then...
I went to a summer camp in New Hampshire that had 3 greenbriers, he said 9 passenger, in kid transport mode it was 4 kids per rear seats and 3 people in the front seat for a total of 11. Bye the way of course no seat belts. Being a summer camp the greenbriers spent the winters on blocks in various buildings. Only draw back to that was mice llked to build nest in the fan shrouds. Being air cooled that would have been fatal for the engine, if the engines were started an run for so each of the greenbriers had to have the top of the fan shrouds removed and the the mouse nest removed yes the tried moth balls and decon. If I remember correctly the camp got its first 1962, and when I visited the camp with my family i 1978 the frist greenbrier was still in service. Nice to take a ride in one again, lots of happy memories of those years.
These robots remind me of the tour I took at N.U.M.M.I in Fremont back in 2012/13. I was amazed back then how robotics worked. And at that time it was already older technology.
You are in for the ride of your life. Most people think of the B-17 when it comes to vintage bombers. The B-25 was a bomber but it was also used as a fighter. The B-25 can be a very aggressive airplane. If you suffer from motion sickness as I do, pure ginger pills can fix you up. Good luck on your ride.
We had one of these when I was a kid - ours was a ‘50 rather than ‘51. It was in 1960 - my dad bought it well-used for his commute to work while my mom drove the ‘59 Ford Galaxie which was new. Definitely preferred these over their “sister” Pontiacs and Buicks. The Oldsmobiles and Cadillacs of the same era looked OK. That said, however, I thought the ‘49-‘51 Fords looked better, since they had got rid of the old bulged fenders look which made the Fords sleeker than the GM products of that era. BTW, I did NOT like the Mercurys of that same era. Big blobby and bulbous. Back then, there was less commonality between Ford & Mercury than between Chevy, Pontiac, and Olds.
Remember ,I think 68/79 Buiçk Limited 4 door if my memory works. Pillar less for idea. What about space savor tire with pull out drawer in middle of back bumper ?
Wenn man überlegt das im gleichen Werk in Zwickau zu DDR Zeiten der Trabant hergestellt wurde Wahnsinn was für eine Rückentwicklung.Was sagten die Kommunisten wir bauen keine Autos für Playboys da reicht halt so eine überdachte Zündkerze für die Arbeiter.
My grandpa drove a Dodge 880 as his patrol vehicle for several years. He talks about how awesome of a car it was and as a MOPAR guy myself, I'd love to pick one up and restore it as a police cruiser.
You're not done. Chevy 225? It will behave very much like the actual Ford V6 if you put in a fundamental four cycle camshaft. I've built them for two cars and they have a Chitty/early car sound and drive wonderful. You can then command (adjust) the tranny to shift up at low speeds with no consequences. Renault NN pleasure chasis cars sometimes had a strikingly Chitty body, but with doors.
regulations make a vehicle like this a non starter now which is tragic. land of the free my ass. we have light materials now and 2cylinder engines that would be great for a light high mpg car but the big G would never permit it.
NO WAY!!! I have a picture of myself, my siblings and a cousin with our dad taking a picture next to THIS CAR!!!. It was taken at the Johnny Cash musuem in Memphis in the early 80's!!! I can't believe this car is still around!!! This will always be one of my favorite Johnny Cash songs and one of my favorite memories.
@@RideswithChuck nice! It's amazing it's still around lol I looked this up because I found an old photo album and the picture was in it lol I still people I've sat in the car. The guy who was working there looked at my dad and said, you wanna sit in it? All of us kids were like YES! LOL no picture of that. He got us in and we got back out quickly because he wasn't supposed to let us do it lol
Great video! What a classic! And thanks for posting!! I can see one of the reasons why dear ole Dad loved his Buick's. He woulda been 16 in 1932 so I'm sure he saw and read about this in magazines as he loved cars. I do know my grandparents, his folks, had some make of Buick during his childhood but not that one haha! However after WWII my grandfather bought a new 47 Roadmaster. And my folks bought a beautiful new black 51 Super Convertible. I didn't come along until 1958 both of those cars were gone by then but thankfully have plenty of old family photos of them in it. Memories! 😊👍
