Love your Content. I just found a 1956 Dodge Coronet 4 Door that was abandoned 50 years ago. Starting the Rebuild process on it and your videos have given me a lot of insight into the Flathead 6 Cylinder and what I am getting into. SHould not be too bad to restore, just gonna take time and patience.. Keep up the videos.
Made in U.S.A.? THAT IS VERY OLD, AND RARE! My grandfather told me during the depression, they would take tires that would not hold air anymore, they would patch the hole, and fill them with grain . . . . usually oats, then run then down into the creek. I guess it worked pretty well.
I have a couple old cars that I haven't felt like replacing the (EXPENSIVE) tires on. They have blown out and are rotten enough they will not hold pressure and cost close to 400 with the tubes and shipping from Coker Tire.
I really hate that someone would take a car as complete (or totally original and complete) and junk it into a rod. What's the point? They are just saving a body then. I had no idea that this was being done to these pre WW2 cars so much till recent years. I couldn't believe they were taking complete, easily restorable 20's - 30's era cars and throwing everything away. The cars from this era aren't anywhere near as common as stuff made post WW2. Why? Lower overall production i.e. post war boom and Great Depression. The Great Depression, WW2 cuts to civilian production, and WW2 scrap drives kept this stuff in hard service use and used it up and threw it away before 1950. Their cloth tops and wood usage allowed them to fall apart if sitting outside neglected and combine this with decades of time and old places that had this stuff sitting around getting cleaned up by high scrap prices and the old people dying through the decades
Very interesting content. It is amazing how much more advanced the Dodge was compared to a Ford Model T in 1924. It makes me wonder what the prices difference was or the advantages of a Model T over the Dodge.
@@stever4181 That was my point. By the mid 20's the competition were also being made on assembly lines (and therefore were not super expensive compared to T's) but were more powerful, offered more than one color, and probably offered more in comfort and styling (and technological advances).
I have a 20s dodge brothers, i pulled out of a barn. Its in bad shape. The body is missing and the only sheet metal is from the steering wheel forward. The rest of the car is there. Idk if the motor is seized or not and the rims are have rotten away. Idk what im going to do with the car. Im deffinently never scrapping it. Dont know if ill sell it or not at this time
