I am a Car-Guy and am lucky enough to be able to be involved with these great old cars. I have been working on and restoring cars for nearly 50 years. Actually was doing car stuff before I was old enough to have a driver license. Just ask some of the retired Police Officers around here! They all knew me one way or the other! HA! I either kept their cars and motorcycles running or they were out watching to see if I was out road testing.. I am still at it!
Short video update of the 1955 Chevrolet 210
Yes, my full video is a little bit older than some people like and I’ve been asked for an updated video of the Chevy. I just did this quick walk around so you could see it is still exactly the same car as it was when I did the last complete video. The odometer reading is almost the same as well. It’s only been driven on the property and not on the road since my first video.

Just wanted to update with a short video of what the car looks like today compared to when I did the video. You can see it’s just as nice now as it was then. This is an exceptional 55 and would be a very high point winner at any classic Chevy show. Looking for the next caretaker! You will not be disappointed!

I’m happy to be able to have two of these cars together at the same time. You can see just see how nice these cars are as I walk the camera around them. Yes, they drive like a Cadillac! And surprisingly quiet for being convertibles. The 41 Cadillac is a favorite for people who like to drive their cars long distances. Yes, they still drive these cars long distances! They’re very reliable and com...

When was the last time you saw one of these? This is a very solid car that does have a Chevy 350 under the hood. The car is son said to be a local Northern California car since new. sometime along the way the engine was replaced with the non-original smaller engine and then it ended up not running so this small block Chevy got put under the hood. They did a really nice job and if somebody reall...

I took my driver test in my Mom's MGA! Not this one, but one just like it! This one is a very nice car. Someone did a great restoration on it. I'm pretty sure this will become someone's fun car to drive and tour with. I meant to get this corrected before it went live, but at least one person corrected me. Thanks!

I’ve owned this BMW for 16 years and probably haven’t put more than 300 miles on it. Always in the garage under a cover. And the same thing with the guy that I got it from. He told me he really never road it in the rain and was never outside to get wet! This BMW was bought new from the BMW dealer in Santa Rosa, Ca. I am the third owner and I have records to show the history. I got it out cleane...
Borgward Isabella short report!

We’re looking at David‘s Borgward that he has recently had some really nice work done to to spruce it up so that it’s enjoyable and he can take it to different events. These are actually quite sought after in some of the collector car circles. Difficult to find because some they were made in Germany and not too many of them were made so that means today there’s not too many more to be found. Bu...

Wow 🤩
Sorry I did not start it up! Was a very busy day!
Trunk did not operate by vacuum. The rear tail light bulbs required bumper removal.
What are you asking for the American of FranceYeah I I have a 1954 American of France 700 series open cab came from Arizona only has 50,000 mi 90000 it's an outstanding condition has a flathead 6 in it gasoline engine
1966 was another fine year for a New Yorker. Airtime A/ C gave you much comfort.😅
Great restoration. But the inner door panel miss the (original) stitches.The engine bay looks a bit odd....
Did you notice it is not a restoration, but it is a "Resto-Rod" with a Chevy under hood? NOTHING was changed that could not be undone if it was going back to 100% original.
@@rodneyracer That is true for the engine. It may not be true for the inner door panels. Unless the originals would come with the car to make correct patterns. These panels have stitched lines... I know when I see an original, they are very distinct.
@@fastdrive55 DANG! Wording is difficult. If wording "done in the original style" doesn't work, then we also must consider the actual color is not exact to the original formula, the convertible top is not "correct" wiring being modern and not cloth covered is not correct, on and on.. No, this is not an authentic restored original Olds.. I never said it was, but it does stick to original style.
A beaut!
Love thatcar just not that color
Stunning automobile.
DAMNED, turn the music OFF 😤
Love thiz car. Underrated !!!
Off the hook awesome 👍🇺🇸👍
Surprised to see what I thought was a OHV motor. I thought the first OHV motors were in the 1949 Cadillac. I assume the V16 was OHV, as well. Indeed impressive.
That is no "woodie," the so-called wood is all painted.
You'll have to argue that with a few thousand car guys---
You can almost get a look at the whole car at 4:30
Love the Q & red and white bacon rays
My dad had one with that same weird belt line trim.
My uncle had a 65 Cadillac sedan de ville biggest lemon on earth
Just curious what the status is on the AMX now?
In a collection in Austria
Back in the 50's our Dad although a wonderful father was ultra conservative and totally risk averse...cant blame him he had a growing family and had survived WWII....Long time family friend George had a "53"...2dr Hardtop...cream and green. He took us boys out for occassionally for a spin...the big Merc would hit 100mph on the Sweabury Road..huge deal for couple of country boys under 10 ! He also taught to shoot a rifle and took us fishing. It was the best time to grow up. Miss yah George.

Very nice car, thanks for showing it.
Did this car sell?
I owned the ‘60 Ambassador CrossCountry wagon; loved that car!
Amazingly SOLID when you close the doors.
Why does it have two spear wheels?. It look like a truck.
Awesome Thanks Live Life Rodney! Straight Ahead ✌😎
You are so lucky Rodney ! Thanks Think Good Thoughts ! Don't feed The Negative ! ✌😎
Awesome ! Thanks straight Ahead ✌😎
That is a series 67 limousine. It share its platform with the Buick limited
I get tongue tied and forget what I need to say. YES, I was trying to explain the difference, but without script and in the wind, too much to think about! Thanks For Watching!
Sure it's not a luxery lemans? The crhrome on the trunk edge.
Hermoso Auto 😍 lo venden 😍 ahun estará disponible 😍? Les mandó un cordial saludo 👋 y un Fuerte abrazo 🤗 desde Puebla 😄 México 😃🤗👍👌😍👋.
Beautiful car, I'm fairly sure it's not a '75'.. Looks more like a '67'. Love the AC.
You are right! It is a 67
So beautiful ❤️
Gorgeous car and color combination. By the way all liked the Ambassador on Curbside Classic. New rebuilt 2100 has smooth things out.
Had a chance to buy 1. Still kicking myself. The banker got dumped for that 1
Awesome Rodney! Yes it is me 1949 Monarch Mike Love. Had to get a new email ! got hack! Think Good Thoughts! Don't Feed the Negative!✌😎
Thank you Rod, gorgeous and rare Jensen!
Nice job Pal. Incredible to see a one off classic.
Interesting facts, this ol dog learned a thing or 2 about this beauty
Excellent, the best
I also have a 1962 MGA MarkII I love the car.
I see this one has defibrillators. Look like HP Life Packs. Proper ambulance. Not scoop and shoot meat wagon like most of these Cadillacs. Very nice.
Yes, we’re very fortunate to have the complete and original correct devices on board.
