This video really isn't about the car - It's about Kyle's grandfather. You can see how proud he is of Kyle. And when you have a grandson eager to visit his grandfather and show him something he's proud of, you know you've got a special relationship. Ya'll cherish your parents and grandparents as Kyle does his.
My great gran just passed at 91 1/2 about a month ago and my grandfather passed at 66 in 2013. Your grandfather sounds like a very amazing person. May he live for many more years. Also beautiful car.
Kyle: I understand your passion. You made a valid point about the newer cars missing something and why you appreciate the older classic cars. I understand. You learned some of the same lessons I learned about restoration too. It was great to see your grandfather and that you care so much for him. He spoke very well and I bet he has interesting stories to tell. Thank you for sharing.
The Fairlane 500 is definitely Papa approved ! I think the passion with classic cars for me is knowing how much effort went into the detailing , no robotic assembly in those days .
@The Genius probably robotics is much better but now we have a lot of software problems so what's the difference bunch of Coors cans were driving these days with problems software recalls.
I have to say, for 91 year old man, your grandpa is very fit and healthy... He also remembers many things unlike other seniors who don't.. He is funny as well, I love him. Great car, great papa, a good life indeed.. I envy you!
Man it's awesome to see you behind the wheel of this beauty! Loved hearing your thoughts about your old cars and the story of how you decided to get this one! I do the same browsing of Ebay from time to time lol. Your thoughts at 16:35 are awesome, couldn't agree more! Just drove my first classic car a couple weeks ago and it is a completely different experience to any car I've ever driven. Still hoping to get a classic car sooner rather than later. It was cool to hear your Papa talk about his 1940 Ford too, I'm a little jealous of the awesome things he must have enjoyed living back then!
+subaruwrxfan I own a 2003 WRX, and a 1967 Ranchero. They're two very different cars, and the Ford almost makes me have to slow down a little and enjoy life, where the WRX is just a go from A to B as fast as possible with the windows up.
This brings back some good, and sad memories of my papaw. Thanks for making this! So glad to see you get to spend quality time with your papa! And what a great looking car!
Kyle, thank you for showing us your marvellous 1965 Ford Fairlane and than you for introducing us to your Grandfather and especially to Slim (Papa) for appearing and talking to us; a true pleasure for us! Thank you both.
That's awesome that you still have your Papa around! I still have both sets of grandparents. Grandpa on Mom's side sadly won't be around much longer. Doctor's gave him an est. 6 months. Enjoy him while you can man!
hey brother - - your blessed to have your grandpa. those are the things that truly matter in life. thanks for including him and for your informative vids. ej south texas
Man I really like your videos.. Pappa ROCKS! Its nice to see a young man your age that appreciates American cars and is able to feel American pride the way you do my friend. So many young folks your age today have been taught to be ashamed of their own GREAT Nation and that is so damn sad to me. Keep up the great job dude and keep putting out these awesome vids!
what a great guy you are. so down to earth. your videos are a pleasure to watch. I've said it before, it's so cool to have a guided tour to many of the cars I've seen and thought were cool. without your channel I'd never know what the interiors and specs were of many vehicles I find interesting. so thanks again...ken
Kyle wonderful video. I feel you on classic cars. Something about how far cars came from is just awe inspiring. Having your grandpa come along for a ride is a moment to cherish and is very wonderful that you shared with us all. Keep up the great work Kyle!
Its so nice that your father and papa are still enthusiastic with cars, man you really have a life that many of us could never have. Have fun with the car!
your description of owning and driving a classic car is the same explanation I tell people, yet there is something you cant put into words, sort of going back in time a bit. Also no safety , well, that makes you pay attention more. I love it also and I got my first classic at 50 yo so I envy that you have these classic car experiences at a young age.
Congrats kyle. It's really a great car. I was amazed when I saw it. We all wish you have as much fun as possible with it. You deserve it. Thank you for all the content; I know so much about cars because of your videos that I don't even know if I would be the enthusiast I am today if you weren't around. Have fun with it, Kyle!!
I have been a subscriber to your Chanel for a few years now and have seen a few of the cars when you had them that you talked about in this video. I have to say that I am in love with your latest , Your driving one beautiful 65 Ford Fairlane 500 that I believe is a vary rare car, I have never seen one that was equipped like yours and I go to a lot of classic car shows. You really have a special car there . But most of all I sure did enjoy this video with your Papa riding around with you, it is easy to see that you two are just a little "Car Crazy" like many of us are too. Keep up the good work you do here on you tube.
Great video. Love the Fairlane but enjoyed seeing your Papa just as much. Amazing at 91 years old, still driving and has all his mental faculties! Cherish that. There is much to be learned from his generation that we can't replace just like the old cars.
I very much enjoyed this video and meeting your Papa and seeing you enjoy that Fairlane. I have a 67 impala my grt granny bought new and agree with you about the nuances of driving a classic. thanks for sharing!
Great video !!, I'm happy for you to got such amazing car, and such amazing papa!!, I hope that " brand new" looks fairlane brings you a lot of great moments. I will be waiting the video of your review of that really gorgeous car!!
This video ended too soon! Really enjoyed Papa and I admire his old school stories and knowledge of cars. Reminds me so much of my grandpa and how much I miss him!
Kyle, the way you described your passion for your hobby (and this car) was riveting. As a mechanical engineer, I can't agree with you more when you expressed that simpler is better. Now I miss my '76 Cutlass Supreme with the 350...Good luck with the Fairlane!...
YAAAAAAYYY.!!!!....Good to see u Papa SLIM...lool.......MAAN U LOOK SO FIT & HEALTHY at that age. Greetings all the way from WEST-AFRICA, Ghana to be precise. Good Vid as always....WICKED FAIRLANE. Keep doing ur thang man...we got ur back.
what a beautiful car, its as if you were destined to have it! its so cool that you got papa to be in this video, he seems like a really great and wise guy :)
Good video as I enjoyed it. I myself am buying a 1959 turn key chevy Bel air. I got lucky because it belongs to a 86 year old relative and she kept it road worthy all this time. Can't wait to drive it.
It's so cool. I love it. I totally agree on the classic/older car thing, although I mostly enjoy older trucks. It may seem dumb to some, but it's a fun and rewarding hobby. A bit expensive, but fun.
My father was a foot doctor on Long Island in NY and one of his older patients sold him a '65 convertible Fairlane for $500 in the late eighties. I loved to go out and visit him (was living in NYC) at that time and "borrow" the car to go to the beach. Light blue with a black ragtop if I recall correctly . . .
hey kyle i want to say thank you because i think ive subscribed to you when you just had about 100k subscibers and i 've seen basically all of the videos you have made and i love watching them so keep up the good work!
Not gonna lie, that Jaguar was a pimp mobile, even though it was modded. I agree with you Kyle, classic cars have character unlike the vague cars of today. Sure we may suffer serious injuries when involved in a a high speed crash when driving our classic cars, but in the end it is worth it. I think your grandpa's favorite thing on the Fairlane is the hood emblem lol.
Completely get your love of classic cars. I'm lucky enough to have restored a Series III Land Rover and you certainly get way more attached than you could to a new car.
Oh yeah I can see by your overhead shots that that it is a chore keeping this car consistently spaced in between the lines. (I like to hug the right line myself).
