Restored Labatt's Beer Truck & Custom Chrysler Airflow 

My favorite show to watch on TV in the 90's when I stayed home sick from school. I've always hoped to bump into Dennis at some car show some day.

The amount of craftsmanship on display with that truck is just insane...

I'm glad someone took the effort to restore this.

Dennis, what a show. Thanks for taking us along!

Labatt's Bleu Canadian Pilsner bottled is my favorite! The BEST! 😁🤠

Absolutely the nicest beer truck in the world!!!

I remember seeing that Labatts Truck at the 1988 Worlds fair in Vancouver BC. The story about the restoration process is an epic tale of parts hunting before the internet existed.

The most beautiful truck I've ever seen! Ever!

Wow. That beer truck is amazing. Thanks for saving it. I'll drink to that!

What a pleasure to see this truck again . I was responsible for bringing this truck out of long term storage back in the early 2000s. I recall it running about 40 or 45 m.p.h. flat out....

Just LUV the 1934 Chrysler and with a Hemi! Respects to the owner/builder.

Beer and liquor advertising was prohibited in Ontario. Labatts created the streamlined truck as a mobile advertisement. They delivered Labatt beer all through the province, and especially showed up at fairs etc. Labatt had another public relations promotion. All drivers would stop and offer roadside assistance to any car they saw in distress. Change tires, etc This service was offered by all Labatt trucks, not just the streamliners. Drivers were rewarded by the company for doing this. I remember when I first saw this truck on the highway.

Years back my Uncle John Koch (Buck) was master brewer for Labatt's , Great old beer truck !!

That 1934 Chrysler Airflow Custom "Waterfall" design grill is amazing to say the least! The1948 White's Labatt's Truck is a total work of art, my compliments to its owner!!!!

What a great show Dennis I especially love that truck What a beauty 👍👍👍

Gene Winfield! I live near him and see him wander into the Riteaid every so often.

That La Batts truck looks positively seussical

Great video Dennis. Thank you! I had never heard of this awesome car show before and I live in Canada (western). Beautiful cars, weather, estate, women, etc etc 😊

I saw this rig at Edmonton LaBatts >25 years ago, beautiful unit.

Liked them all but the 34 Chrysler Air Flow was the coolest.

3:38 What a kool truck

Love the Acadian !!!

THANKS, DENNIS ! Thank God for you and Jay Leno. Through you guys those of us who can only dream about great cars and trucks can fantasize about ownership as we watch you present these unique and beautiful vehicles. Of course, I'm a subscribed bell ringer.

Worked on the 1948 White's Stream liner back in the very early 2000's outside of Toronto a Resto from its last resto 20 years earlier The only bad thing with the truck back then was the Bodyshop managment wanted to save money in labor And instead of stripping of the trailer panels And tighen them from flexing badly (cracking paint) The coated the trailer with pounds on pounds of Bondo Which in time would again need to be stripped down and fixed again The cab interior Looks like it has been restored since i seen it last with newer paint and emblems

GREAT SEEING THE CANADIAN CARS!

Great presentation. Wish that I had come across this video sooner. I live about an hour away from London. Unfortunately it looks like Mr Plunkett had his last Fleetwood Country Cruize-In event in 2019.

Un très grand Merci de nous faire découvrir ces véhicules absolument magnifique: de somptueuses œuvres d'art, plaisir des yeux. Les mots qui nous viennent sont: Encore! Encore! Encore! Et toujours plus! Vœux très sincères pour une Année 2021 avec encore plus de découvertes et de plaisir à partager votre passion! Merci!

Loved the '34 Airflow, and would love to see a whole video on this running vehicle. The '34 must have been one of the most audacious and innovative cars ever. Sympathetic and practical restoration.

If the guy that hosts this event is not one of the world’s richest men, I bet he’s very close. Nice little place he got there. 💰💰💰💰🤣😂

I Love the 56 Mercury Montclair, I had a 55 Montclair two door hardtop for years

The name Parisienne did eventually come to the US as a Pontiac version of the Chevrolet Caprice. That Parisienne I would love to have right now.

The Labatt's truck looks like it was designed by Dr. Seuss!

That’s an amazing truck but what really blows my mind is how he was able to find a truck with the trailer

A very big Thank you for making us discover these absolutely magnificent vehicles: sumptuous works of art, pleasure of the eyes. The words that come to us are: Again! Again! Again! And always more! Very sincere wishes for a Year 2021 with even more discoveries and pleasure in sharing your passion! Thank you!

Классная выставка ретроавтомобилей.Особенно плавучие понравились!!

I didn't know who Steve Plunkett,Linda Vaughn, Courtney Hansen or Gene Winfield were. So I had to spend time looking them up. You're welcome. Steve Plunkett was the lead singer/songwriter of rock band "Autograph".I stand corrected.Not the same guy. Linda Vaughn is an American motor racing personality who has been described as “The First Lady of Motorsports” and the “preeminent beauty queen of stock car racing.” Courtney Hansen is an actress and producer. Gene Winfield is an automotive customizer and fabricator. In the mid-1960s, a large body of his work appeared on screen. As well as in the 1982 film Blade Runner.

looks like dr seus vehicles crazy !!!

If that Laban truck is the last then it’s the one I saw many times at Expo86 in Vancouver. They just parked in the open. I have a photo somewhere of a buddy hanging off of it.

These car is so cool

This was at London Ontario, that's what just a few kms away from my home town of Toronto Ontario.

Far out, man! Way cool

That labatts truck is super awesome!

I believe that the two people that restored the Labatt truck were Joe and his. brother Bob Scott who owned the White Truck dealership in London. Friends of ours.

I love designs and works of art from back before the use of computers. Designing things for efficiency, or worse for profit takes the soul and beauty out of them. Humanity has passed through the "Best of Times", and is now racing down the incline of technology and profits. A world based and built on nothing but money.

That Truck is Beauty incarnate !!

I saw the LaBatts beer truck in person 35 years ago. Back in the day it was illegal to advertise beer. They designed the truck as a rolling billboard

That is one cool cool truck

All this lovely car's Thank you 💝❤️❤️

Good job steve

Just wonderful

Sure hopes this show goes in 2021 I’m only 11 hours south from you. Looks like a ton of fun.

That is the most beautiful truck I have ever seen

5:25 “it’s hard to get pictures cuz people just walk in..” 3 dudes just walk in. 😂

I believe I may have seen that beer truck at Expo 86 in Vancouver

Man I would just love the Canadian car that was part Chevy and Pontiac and whatever was in it I don't know that they even existed but I did know of a few of the different America made vehicles went by different names because you had to buy a Mercury truck if you were a Ford man up there!

I know that Labbatt truck, I saw that truck last year in downtown Toronto, I think they were filming a movie or TV show using the truck.

Amazing!!!

Cool restoration!

Amazing life cars and fun times.

Unbelievably cool. Sad they'd never do something like this today bc of poor function if trailer size

Great show as always

Какой приятный ламповый душевный канал.

That is awesome!

Is this for real, was this “ by the far the most loveliest truck I have ever seen, it’s like apart of life has pasted me by in history, wish these where still here, love it to the bone, one wishes to think that just maybe if these where still here that we maybe not have had such a terrible WW2 etc, something a bit more funny 😂, but no, yea this is the coolest trans port I have seen in my life, thank you 🙏,😎👍🇳🇿❤️🌈😎kiwi pip😎👍🇳🇿❤️🌈😎

I drove by this !!!

wow impressive gathering

Wow!!

👍👍👍👍 Very cool !!!!!!!!

That was Buck Rogers' weekend vehicle.

I used to have one of those

I cruise with...no...stereo... my 440 is my music

Magnifique salom

Very nice truck.

I miss my 56 Montclair

thanks..

Both of those Labbat's trucks were completely restored by Joe Scott and then donated back to Labbat's.

11:37 If the tail lights wrapped around a little plus the reflector strip right across the boot, we have the rear view of an Aussie 1968 Holden Monaro GTS . A collectors car these days.

will never understand why they stopped making cars this way. the classics are waaaaay nicer then most of what you get today

the truck came to eldridge pope brewery , dorchester uk in the 90 s !

This Labbatts truck or same one like it was on display in Vancouver BC at Expo 86,saw it there then as a teenager

Looks more like an LSD delivery truck than a beer truck.

I've seen this truck. Labatt had several of these trucks.

Only dr seuss would design a truck like that

wow

3:10 We need a separate segment on that truck and trailer. Like who made the sheet metal? What was the original drive train? Is the drive train still original? Details about the restoration.

That truck and trailer are awesome. Too bad the beer is still terrible.

Wow I like the 2 engine blue chip

I love Dennis Gage's show but it's not long enough and we get to see a very limited amount of cars. If it were an hour long,that would be better. I love classic cars but I haven't had one since I sold my 64 Chevy Impala SS 327=300hsp. I have never restore one [I am 75] but I love to see this form of HISTORY. Shows like Dennis' are too few and far between.. Leno does a good job but many of his are big price cars. I love to see cars brought back from the graveyard and restored.😃😃😃😃😃

My dead alcoholic grandfather and I thank you for That wonderful beer truck Reality sucks doesn't it

Damn I thought he might track down Courtney Hansen...

Looks like you met your moustache match from the owner of the Airflow Custom!

70K cars?! That's nuts!

I clicked here cuz that truck is in my book nice to hard cover

The '65 Acadian Beaumont is not a Pontiac! It was sold in Pontiac dealerships and used Pontiac parts but nowhere is it labelled Pontiac. It's Acadian with maple leaf in the logo.

Wwwwwait. Did you say 3-4 thousand cars???

Merci à Bob de m'avoir fait parvenir le lien, j'ai revu mon ancien Pontiac 58 que je lui avais vendu, Je constate qu'il en prend grand soin car elle est toujours aussi belle.

nice eeeh

Who needs Clydesdale's when you've got a head turning Beer Wagon like that. As the young'uns say...its SICK!

The light green engine looks like a Detroit Diesel

👀👀👀
