Abandoned '1934 Ford' Rescued From Garage After 60 Years | 1934 Ford Brewster Town Car | RESTORED 

Barn Find | Rescued & Restore '1951 Pontiac Super Deluxe Catalina' - abandoned 50 years ago. Link : ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-5urqkBzw5bM.html

I have a Brewster Coach Body Book from 1934 and this is listed as a 5 passenger limousine. Not many were sold, so here's a great restoration project that will be worth very much.

That was a cool break down of the history and to keep something like that in original condition for so long. That car needs to be put in a museum for everyone to see a prime example how they built car's.

What a rare and exceptional find! The outer body looks great. That heart shaped grill is really eye catching. It is breath taking to see the emergence of a onetime great car to our eyes of the 21st. century. I wish I could see it restored. It is a beauty!

Brewster was an old line custom body maker in New York that began building carriages in the 1840s. Their customer base was wealthy New Yorkers like the Vanderbilts and Astors. The quality of their hand built bodies was second to none. Most of their bodies were installed on Packard, Cadillac, Pierce Arrow or Duesenberg chassis. In the 1930s they offered a small limousine for city use, smaller and handier than the giant bus like limousines. These small limousines were built on Ford chassis and that is what we see in this video. Notice how the doors open and shut with a perfect "thunk" after 90 years. That is one quality body.

Immediately recognized it as a Brewster. Unique. Awesome car.

Rolling sculpture from the past !! Take it to auction and hold on tight when the price starts climbing Thank you for sharing this one with us!!

I have only seen one of these in an old movie. And on 65 years of living, never seen one since. This is indeed a very very rare car. I think it should be carefully restored. It's actually a museum piece.

Fabulous car! Looks like a lot there that can be preserved as opposed to a full restoration. I don't think your a "dumb-assed trucker" lol! Thanks for sharing this find!

Love that front end. Those fenders are amazing. Great comments.

The art deco styling of cars from the 30s is to die for. They were art as well as transportation.

Beautiful automobile. Back when style and grace ruled. Good stuff!!!👍🇺🇸❤️

Really hope this car gets a full restoration back to what it was built to be.

I knew what it was before you posted the name "Brewster". There were only a few made and they were built in the tradition of the frame and motor being provided by the car company and the body built by a coach builder.

I HAVE TO HAVE THAT DOOR GLASS! Or a HR scan....My it's beautiful!

Great find great car great description. And I love that grill it is so exaggerated it is fantastic. That elongated teardrop shape.

that 85 YO paint looks like it will buff out to a mirror finish!

This is a car that you get running/moving and clean up the exterior to make it presentable for others to see at Monterey/Amelia Island Concours in "as is" condition. Brewster was also a body builder similar to MullinerPark Ward, so the chassis/engine/drivetrain may be of Ford origins........

I know it will require a lot of tlc, but WOW 😮 What a great find !! 👍🇺🇸

Rod and Custom mag had a really good article on the Brewsters back around 1970. The Writing on the glove box door looks like oil change intervals. So the odo reading might be the actual mileage. There are some vids here on YT showing New york in the 30's and a pair of towncars (taxi hire) drive past in the back ground which look very similar.

Not a ford person, but the grill and Bumper are art deco gold;)

You do have a rare one there my friend, outstanding!

Very cool!!!!!!!!!

That is one hell of a find I doubt it would take more than half an hour at the outside to get it running. That is all original.

nice vid👍, super cool grill, front bumpers, & front fenders style, sharp yet flowing.

Abandoned? So you got it for free? Awesome!!!

Saw one of those about 40 years ago, didn't know what it was, took a while to find out. Neat grill.

I've seen magazine articles on those cars but not an actual one. Never seen such delaminated glass before. That's almost a work of art in itself. Those front fenders are a little too wild for me but it could be fun to try and trace the original owner or her family. And what about that Model A Sport Coupe in the background? Could it be for sale?

That Grill reminds me of the 1893 Norwegian artist Edvard Munch’s painting: Scream

Such an awesome car. Surly is a one of a kind. probably never ever see another one like it.

I love the grille design on these rare cars, but I can never get past the sort of "skirt-in-the-air" look of the front fenders where you see all the front-end linkage. Beautiful machine though. The reason they made the dashes so symmetrical at this time is because it made it easy to convert the import cars to right-hand drive.

Weirdly looks futuristic at the front end. Wasn’t one of the worlds fair around this time? Nice to see it getting some love.

Remarkable condition, perfect for restoration...

1934 Ford Brewster Town Car. Unique front end for sure. Besides the wing shaped front fender I believe the three chrome bar bumper represent art deco wings of the period. See the Reich Eagle wings made from "bars" at the 1933 Nuremberg Rally. With front fenders shaped like that there must have been a lot of wind resistance and lift at high speed. A machine worth saving.

Super original condition obviously cared for at one time

Too cool, the grill the bumper and the limo body

Fine Lines.

"a later model flathead v-8, looks to be a '59" How rare is that!

It’s a ford Brewster.

That front end is amazing

Worth a great deal of money as is - with a proper restoration you could retire on the proceeds

According to Wikipedia, the Brewster company had been a leading producer of fine coach work for Rolls Royces and high end French automobiles. But it started making it's own autos when the First World War cut off a reliable supply of European models. But like manufacturers of other premium automobiles, the Great Depression hit Brewster hard. To try to keep the company afloat, Brewster bought 135 1934 Ford V8 Chassis and built the distinctive Brewster coach work on top of them. The Brewster Ford's were initially a sales hit, but the success was short lived. Some of it's former customers though it was a sacrilege to put fine Brewster coach work on a Ford chassis. Eventually Brewster, which had been building fine carriages and coaches for the nation's elite since 1810, was forced to file for bankruptcy in July 1935.

Incredible Survivor!

I saw an old movie of New York City traffic some time ago & there were a few of these Brewster's in it that were taxi's. I didn't know what they were at the time & it took some digging to find out. The front of these are certainly WTF!

Holy shit , What a Sweetheart. And that grill in killer looking .

Stahl’s museum in Michigan has a beautifully restored Brewster like this.

Very good ,,,,,

FYI. The "courtesy light cover" you show at 5:38 is an ash tray.

It is a Brewster Ford.

The Brewster was a kind of Ford--basic bodyh and frame/drive train to the Brewster company for the custom body work. Rare and beautiful!

A Brewster body car was so well known that Cole Porter sang about them In You’re the Top.

Cool car!!!😊

Beautiful ol. Buggy! IM JUST ADMIRE. NOT IN THE MARKET. THANK YOU FOR THE CAMEO!

Ford Brewster town car

Fantastic car, can you tell me the type of rear tail lights? What are they known by in the US? Thanks. 14:07 😊

Very nice to do a Hot Rod for ZZ Top😄

The Forney Transportation Museum in Denver has one of these Brewster Fords

I'd replace the glass with new ones , keep one and auction off the old glass as works of art. How many people have an original piece of a Brewster to hang up ? Or show this car just as is . Beautiful car , no need to restore much just clean up and show this way.

If I remember correctly "You're a Brewster body" are part of the lyrics to the song "You're the Tops."

1934 was a hard year for millionaires.

Hey guys, I think that number in the glove box lid is inverted. To me, it looks more like either 9067 or S067.

I've seen that 34 FORD style before,for the life of me I can't remember where but it's a "body by Brewster".

There is a Brewster Limo at the Edison Home in Fort Myers FL. It was Edison's sons' while he was governor of New Jersey.

Awesome car. Shame it doesn't have the original engine, but still A Great Car.

I've seen an almost identical Ford car with a similar grille and made by Brewster. I recall that it was made for W.C. Fields.

Don't know much about US number / licence plates, but the ones on it seem to be much newer than the car. So was car registered and on the road up to thec1980s or 90s ? Any feedback.....

I about dumped a load when I saw you toss the light cover onto the driver's floor! Please treat things like that with care.

would have been worth a walk through the garage to see if the roof section is still there. A new one could be fabricated but OEM is always best.

Wow !

I can imagine Dick Dastardly driving something like that (or the over the hill mob).

I've been going to Hershey for 50 years, so, yes, I've seen them. Finding an unrestored one in the wild, hell no.

Coooooool!!

I’m a Ford guy, and I’ve never seen a grill like that. Keep it original. “Let’s not tub it out with a small block Chevy.”

The writing in the glove box is most likely the oil change miles.

Brewster body was bought by rolls. They built bodies in the old Knox auto company in Springfield mass for a while when rolls was in springfield

Would love to see more of the engine

If im not mistaken there's a brewster in at Gilmore's car museum near Kalamazoo Michigan the largest privately owned car museum in north America

Heart-shaped radiator grill means the car is bodied by Brewster.

I would love to have that car

Wasn't there one in the movie "The Sting" owned by the gangster?

The 24 stud engines were used late '38 on up. Your engine looks like it has the "diver's helmet" style distributor used up thru 1941 but the 59A B heads were used from '46-'48. The 59AB heads were sometimes used on earlier blocks in replacement rebuilds. Not sure what you really have there.

A bit dirty, not really abandoned. In fact, it’s a car in very good shape.

The AudraIne Museum in Newport, RI, had one of these. Recently featured by Jay Leno and Donald Osbourne on their UTubey show.

Gramercy Park - where you need a key to get into the exclusive gaited park itself. Owner had $$$.

Wow

I'm curious is that Pegasus Mobile sign for sale? I'm going to share this with another guy who has an interest in gas station kind of stuff.

I saw one in a car magazine many years ago. I do not think you have enough evidence to say the body has never been restored ; it has a replacement flathead, not the 1934 version. Very hard to know if it is original paint & interior, only a Ford expert with Brewster knowledge could say. It is a shame it was left in a garage with no maintenance for so long & has obviously suffered. People get carried away with "completely original, unrestored" neglected cars on the 'tube, just to make$$$$. Cheers.

Looks like something Cruella De vil would rides around in .

Prime example of a collapsing economy. People pulling out their treasures from the dust and corrosion to grab the money . I hope that the fellow gets a good price for his car. It looks like some Hollywood prop car. The missing roof panel is so cameras can be mounted to film inside the car. Good luck on the adventure 😁

How did you locate a car like this, or find out it was for sale?

You could and should have changed the tire before moving it and damaging the rim.

It's a BREWSTER!

You read the number in the glovebox wrong. It’s upside down. It’s 9067

Proper coach built look at the shut lines.!

Call Jay Leno he loves these old cars and more importantly he can get parts for them. OR ignore what I just said and do it yourselves.😁😎

Brewster!! They also bodied Rolls Royces for Americans.

Класс!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That's beyond patina. That's simply filthy and deteriorated. I hope whoever buys it actually takes care of it. The current owner clearly didn't.

wow
