In this video I rescue a 1947 dodge special deluxe from mr Hewes. We picked up this car a few years ago in one of the tank deals, then after a few beers I persuaded my dad that it was the perfect addition to his collection! how badly it will destroy his bank balance, time will tell!

There should have been a second line to that- my condolences to you and your family, the dodge and your trailer reversing will live on with all the other memories you have.

Oi Oi fellah! Yes what a bloody gem that car is. 'ColdWarMotors' is having fun with a 1947 Chrysler that looks just like that Dodge.

@fittermat Месяц назад

I think they were made by a few manufacturers post war!

@Mercmad Месяц назад

@@fittermatChrysler,Dodge,Plymouth and Desoto all came from the same company but were similar in looks only . Not much interchanged between them .

Yorkshire Joke: man goes to stone mason to get a headstone for his late wife, the stone mason is told to carve the epitaph "She was Thine" - with an 'E'; so upon visiting the installed headstone he found the carving: "E She were Thin!" - Told you it was aYorkshire Joke! 😇

@derrickrees8895 Месяц назад

I enjoyed following along ...! Just some points to make , that looks like it could be a CANADIAN produced Dodge ( shorter wheelbase , different brightwork , no Fluid Drive ) If so , I believe they are equivalent to the USA PLYMOUTH which has the short wheelbase , and slightly smaller engine ( 217cu in vs 230 c.i. ). Few actual engine components interchange though they outwardly look similar. Electrics for both are positive earth , E brake works on a drum behind the gearbox. DeSoto and Chrysler 6s are different again .

Good to see you back Matt. Those fittings being from across the pond could be national pipe thread (NPT) rather than the usual British Standard Pipe (BSP)

With that color and that plate you could get a few bob for it in my neck of the woods. WSU (Washington State University) colors are crimson and grey

@bobstacey9311 Месяц назад

That trailer spare looks mint

@samrodian919 Месяц назад

That should be a positive earth system. Almost all vehicles were positive earth until 1960 or thereabouts . My 1959 Ford Anglia was one of the first negative earth cars in the UK that I've come across.

A cracked head on a Kubota ? Now there's something you don't see every day/ week/ month/ year 😂😂😂😂

@triton401 Месяц назад

Great vid thanks, that motor sits very low in the body look cool

@fittermat Месяц назад

It does!

@fredmanicke5078 Месяц назад

Yup, it has a got a warning label: Dodge!…. My 1940 Dodge is a positive ground electrical system. The Flathead 6 was used from the 1930s to 1968, I think.

Spare tyre on that trailer looks mint. The Dodge is very nice though. Lick of paint on the hood and it's cherry.

If you squint, it’s mint!

@@fittermat I know that one, I just sort of stopped one day? Until I buy a new film editor it will stay that way :o Anyhoo, you have to admit that old CAT 360 came out good in the end :)

Metric sockets to remove the starter?

@fittermat Месяц назад

Sometimes you’ve got to go with what you’ve got to hand

@lwilton Месяц назад

I'm surprised that is a 12V system. I would have expected 6V, probably positive ground. Perhaps that beast has already been partially worked on, several times.

@fittermat Месяц назад

It is a 6v system, just two battery’s to up the rampage rather than the voltage

Dear Mr Kadyrov can you please stop making so much noise it's making my vintage tank followers tetchy and threatening to start some serious WC Incarceration, Mr P of course is not impressed with your oligark performance over the last 6 months, so, for christ sakes get your finger out and start delivering some sort of content that we (your fans) can take the piss out of!
