Impala, Citroen Updates, "My Classic Tire", and Dean's "New" Buick! 

Hi everyone! This week I got to hang out with Dean and check out his new car when he dropped off a hood for the 1951 Packard! All hands on deck for the Citroen DS project before we hit the road for Montreal, and a terrific example of a Classic Atlas Weathergard snow tire from the 50s! Thanks also to everyone who subscribed to our channel here, and thanks also for all of your "likes" and comments!

The shortest and most anticipated hour of my week

I just realized that this show is my favourite weekly sitcom!

The DS is really coming together like a dream. Hats off to everyone helping out. That's a lot of work there and something to be proud of.

At 12:07 - Here in Brazil we say that these tires that are quite worn are from the "Kojak" brand. It is a joke that makes reference to the police TV series of the 70s, whose protagonist was the actor Telly Savalas whose character had that name and was bald ....

After 65 years of loving the DS-19, I am still perplexed how Citroen ever got this project of the ground. Nothing to do with like and/or dislike, the complexity of how this vehicle was mass produced.( Not a single car has the same amount of spot-welds). My friend Pat is restoring one and yesterday I studied the forged suspension arms ( same on the SM) Not once have I seen a "bend" one. They move on needle bearings. As Scott pointed out, the rubber they used had to be one of the best qualities on earth . I wish you smooth sailing en route to YUL. Greetings from a warm YVR, The paint job on the car is almost sinful , the leather is delicious, what a beautiful job you boys did, Chapeau! Bas.

I really don't recall how I came across your channel, but it has become one of my favorite times of the week when your videos arrive! First off, I can't begin to say how amazing it is that you can do the level of bodywork you do! I have never seen this type of work, and I appreciate you "inviting" me in to see what is involved. Your methods really ARE amazing. Second, I love the variety (segments) you include on your videos...those are fun! And Frankers is a good host ;) Finally, something about your mannerisms and speech remind me SO much of my older brother who raised me (and who passed in 2001)...there HAVE been times when you've said something that actually made me gasp and rewind a bit to see if I'd heard what I thought. So...thank you for the fun, and for reminding me of good things, Scott. Tell the agents thank you for the fun, and give Frankers a treat from me!

I am always looking for new channels to watch and I hit the motherlode with yours. You have the kind of friends and projects that I would love to have. Thanks for the hours of great content.

Sunday morning Vegemite on toast, coffee and Coldwar, great start to the day 👍

Tom's getting more done on his project than I am on mine. I better get my ass in gear

Can't wait to see Tom's 60 Impala again, really good car to restore.

Being the owner of a 48 flathead Ford V8 coupe ( New Zealand assembled out of Commonwealth plant in Canada) I stumbled across your episode with the 41 Merc cpe (something we did not get here because of the war). Since then I've just about watched all your other ones. Love the Fury build, you are a true craftsman. We got Canadian Chrysler products here too, as a kid, a bloke up the road owned a 61 Desoto Diplomat a yellow and cream one which left a big impression on me. There was also a light green Dodge version around ( not sure what the Canadian model name was but I remember older "kingsway"s). Keep them coming as I look forward to your updates. That Dean is a laugh and a half too. Best wishes from New Zealand.

An absolutely remarkable job on that Citroen DS!!

In 1972 I worked as service station attendant at an Enco station (Esso in Canada) where we sold a lot of those Atlas Weathergards. We'd even put studs in them before we mounted them if the customer wanted studs.

Thanks again for another hour of wonderful Canadian auto stories. We are going to miss the Citroën and all of you guys detail work. Until the next video, adios amigos.

Tom's '60 is so worth a splash. Those cars are beautiful.

Man the couches in that DS look amazing!

Love the artsy tire /wheel segment,very well done.

The DS is looking great!

What a treat! Tom's car is absolutely stunning. Hope he can keep it inside. Good to see him back. You are a very kind man Scott to help him out. Dino is something else-quite the Santa with the hood and tire-Thanks Dean! Please put logs or tires or bricks under the rear of that Chrysler. I realize you are not going to fix her-but she deserves better than with her back on the ground! Thanks for that. The DS-there are no words to describe with full attention what YOU and your helpers have built. A lot of miles to drive her . But better than a trailer. What are you going to do with the FRANKERS-taking her?? I sure she would love the leather. No apologies about future videos needed. Totally understood. Just know you make my weekend by sharing as well as others also I am sure! Thank you again Scott-be safe and well! Rich

Always look forward to your videos Scott. I see you mentioned on a few other sites.. 👍👍👍👍

Gotta love the way Dean coordinates car color with shirt color. Nice!

Another great video! Safe journeys next week!

Thanks Scott. All's good. Cheers. 🍺

Dean is now driving a doctors car he has really made it now

The Citroen is looking good agents 👍👍😎

We should all be so lucky as to have some like Tom as a neighbor. He probably would loan you his lawn mower, brings your mail in when you’re absent and hands out full size Snickers bars on Halloween.

My Classic Tire, WOW!, such great camerawork and editing!!

More quality viewing pleasure. The DS will turn a few heads. Bon voyage!

That Packard hub cap cleaned up beautiful! Best of luck and drive safely on your trip to Montreal! Looking froward to hearing about it!

Fantastic. The ol, D.S is looking sharp. Can't wait until it's finished. 👍

I went into some sort of Acid Trip Flashback while watching this video. I've got a doctor's appointment for Monday!

Did anyone else get a palpable "French vibe" when you first look at a pudel with a nice hairdo, than you dive in to a DS engine compartment, and finally we get a look inside said DS with the narrator pointing out details with a lit cigarette...oh lal a! And another thing, if people at future car shows ask -Where was this wonderful DS built? And you show them a photo of Dean sitting in his "new" forklift in front of the shop and the yard surrounding it, they'll look at you funny and call you a liar...LOL! I love it!

The Citroen owner is going to be so bloody happy with his car, i cant put into words how gorgeous that car is and i believe even better than when it left the factory .... The road trip will be epic content !

If you're driving thru Ottawa,consider stopping off in Arnprior and try Wes's chip truck.Making fries since 1960 and selling them out of a '56 Ford truck.

Love your videos thank you for taking us along

Great job on the Citroen, and good luck on your journey across Canada! I hope to catch a glimpse of it on the road as you pass through Saskatoon. All the content you upload to RU-vid and Patreon is always fantastic!

Wow!! The production values. Great introduction to Dean's greasy flips and Classic Tire. Good work. I almost felt inappropriate sitting in the recliner in my underwear watching this. I promise next Saturday to wear a jacket and tie... well, maybe some socks.

Frankers best show host 2020 😍

And now I want a DS. In that gorgeous blue.

The DS looks incredible! You all should be extremely proud!

That DS is just so beautiful. Amazing work, team!

.".. then they're not a menace. Once they've got flat tires and they don't run, that's like moving a 5000 pound piano around." HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Yay!! Scott , thanks man for the video , I have been waiting ! Having my cold beer watching !

Love the classic tire segments!!!!

The DS looks beautiful Scott, you and the agents should be proud of the accomplishment. Did you ever count how many hours you guys put into that car?

My dad sold Citroen’s when I thort it was for pissing out of only and I saw nearly new examples of th3 one you have been rebuilding and I know how well you have done ITS A MIRACLE!!!.the French owe you big

the DS looks amazing..couple of things to finish and shes ready! looking foward to the fury and the impala..be good sir

A great week with or without max editing....and the "Petrolicious" loving tire shots were a maximum treat as well!

The DS project is turning out amazing! It's now a better car than it was new. You guys are masters of your various automotive skill sets. Congratulatioons!

Typical tick from a a 283 rockers. Such a nice Impala Tom. Good to see you all finish the Citroen. Nice work. Interior and all the detail work from the Cold War Motors team just excellent. Hope the owner exchange goes well. Kudos again.

Those spring helpers we call “knuckle busters”. We used to raise the front ends of pickup trucks with these to make them level. You put them in with a socket wrench and twist, hence the knuckle buster.

Tom picked an excellent car to restore. The frame looks solid. And the aftermarket is full of sheet metal pieces for these cars. And like your Fury, if Tom wants to take the restoration that far, that Impala is a high dollar car when restored.

Couldn't have gotten a better looking hood for the packard. That thing matches the rest of the car perfectly like it came off it originally or something

exactly Dean, that's why i come here, no jerk yelling at the camera.😎 The Buick has the Holden 3800 V6 too.. Back in New Zealand in the 70's we used those spring spreaders to keep the front ends up ,and you could even get rubber ones. I've seen cars with 5-6 each side.

When I used to sell auto parts back in the 90s, you could buy spring lift kits that would raise the front end an inch or so on most coil springs. Like the ones Tom has on his 60. You would set them in (preferably on 2 sides of each spring) and turn the 1/2 inch head to lock in place. Id sell them once in awhile, but they were good for restoring a bad sagging spring to a better ride height so the shock could do its job.

Those spacers in Toms car were to jack up the spring/rear end a bit. Like shackles, old school. Tom and Dean are a hoot.

The Dean's Greasy Flips title sequence nicely emulates drunk spins

Outstanding episode keep up the good work.

I've had those coil spring boosters on a couple of cars,mostly to raise the ride height and compensate for the air shocks in the rear. Gotta ride level, and look fierce!

Once upon a time, I had an '87 Buick Century with the 3800 in it. Bulletproof engine. I loved that car. Dean's got himself a good one.

Congrats on the DS! Drive safe. Looks good Tom..

Here we are, the final Sunday. It's been an incredible journey and now the reward. Have a great trip to Montreal. Thanks for including us along the way.

I love Scott! "OK set the hood on the Hudson....Don't scratch it" Hee hee

Wishing you much success on your trip. I'm sure over that many miles on Canadian highways you'll meet at least four or five other cars...so stay safe..

This week, Scott forgets how to drive! Really looking forward to seeing the road trip video of that stunning DS. The new owner is a very lucky guy.

Coffee comfy ready and primed Here we go again role VT ACTION!! Cheers Guys

Looking good, it's going to take about three days to make it through Ontario so get your head around that before you head out. Safe driving

back in the 70s we used too buy those twist in spacers to give the car what we called a compotion rack

Looking great mate! I like the dash in Deans Buick,. it's one of those VFD things I always bang on about with the stuff I do. Also great to see a new hood for the Packard, so you didn't like the fit of the one we put there? haha... it does look more complete and the headlights will make it look far better on the lot. The DS is so close, but there's all the small stuff that keeps showing up that reminds us there's still more to do - running down to the wire now, you'll love coming home after the trip and seeing an empty space. Cheers and say hi to all your friends for me, cheers.

Good I’m not the only one that gets excited over old tires😁

So close!! Car Ida looking great and really looking forward to seeing the trip..

Love Frankers great way to start a video and Dean show starting out Awsome love ya guys 😁

The atlas weather guard was a fantastic fined. I don’t know when I’ve been more excited over the classic tire segment thank you so much. Frankers looks to be in fine condition!

Love the outdoor museum! It’s just that with the length of inclement weather up your way makes me wish you had a steel building to house those old beauties. Tom really picked a winner too!

Indexing the vermin mesh! Love it 😄

Tom's Impala looks good & the Packard dosen't look too shabby either ... sup Frankers...

That laugh Tom has is priceless! Unbelievable work you guys have done on the Citroen and I don’t know how you have the patience for video and the work on something like that car. Dean and Jim are great dudes it’s always great when they’re on! Thanks for the honest, real and fun content. Glad you bring us along!

I love that impala its so amazing how good it runs

Well it’s Sunday morning in the Great Southland , Bob and I watched the latest eppisode with much excitement and anticipation... Fantastic as per usual, you are all putting long hours in and it’s a credit to you all. I do hope that Frankers is getting paid overtime for all her extra hours as well. Your work and your group of friends are inspiring, but I have to agree that the complexity of a D is mind blowing at times, I am yet to get stuck into my 73 D Special . Its a much simpler vehicle but still over the top compared to my 60 Aussie Chrysler Royal. Great work and so looking forward to next weeks update.

Anything you put out I’ll watch! Excellent work on the DS.

Plans are made and then they change... just happy to see the Citroen close to a finish line given even if it means a note in the glove box or history cellar as to things that would complete a car that took the hours it did to come back.

Dean: Keeping Canada safe by buying every "run to fail" car in Alberta! The Canadian version of Cash for Clunkers!

The DS is looking fantastic,well done to everyone involved,another great CWM episode.

Very nice work

I have a 60 Biscayne. Love the 60 Impala. Keep the updates comin'.

Beautiful work on the DS Scott and Agents!

The interior of the DS is spectacular. The aircon integration is as good as anyone could wish for too. Well done 👍 I

The spring spacers on Tom's Chevy: back in 1970, kids would buy those things at the auto parts store and put them in the rear coil springs on their cars to provide clearance for big wide 50 series tires.

That Packard hood matches that car perfectly.... Dean, congrats with that Buick.. Frankers does seem to like it. She probably wanted to go for a drive. Wow! That snow tire cleaned up pretty good. Oh, thanks for the heads up about the reduction in your videos. I probably would have been like, what's up???

love the cars bud keep then comeing

Frankers has met her match in that other dog i fear 😂 it’s worked out grabbing her ears is very effective! Look forward to more of Tom’s Chevy resurrection. The Citroen’s interior is fabulous! Looks like a vintage Art Deco cinema with the luxurious seats and the soft lighting, beautiful dash too. Mad to think as i type this on Sunday at lunchtime-ish that it’s finished ?! Bring on the road trip 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

It's so good to see all the progress of ALL the vehicles that you and all the agents have made!

Beautiful job on the Citroen

Excellent job Cold water Motors group and very good job always on videos too!

Choice Citron...Exceptional restoration Cold War Motors!

Great video as always, really loving Tom's '60 Impala that's sweet!! Thanks for sharing and as always "Howdy from Texas "😃

Wow, you guys did an absolutely amazing job on the Citroen!

Bloody hell, Scott I gotta hand it to you, for most blokes they would of lost their drive and handballed it on after realizing what nightmare they picked up not even looking at another project for months.

Toms Chevy is awesome what a find!! Love the drive over to check up on the progress...Love the channel people don't understand how less is more! Keep up the timeless footage!
