And this is a later Special Coop. 43 00:02:02,160 --> 00:02:05,240 Speaker 4: He was made in June nineteen twenty nine. 44 00:02:05,800 --> 00:02:08,280 Speaker 1: What's what made him? What made him a special Coop? 45 00:02:10,160 --> 00:02:13,280 Speaker 4: Well, standard coop has the final thought that goes back 46 00:02:13,280 --> 00:02:17,200 Speaker 4: to the edge of the roof and then it's metal 47 00:02:17,360 --> 00:02:20,400 Speaker 4: from there on down to the DECKLD this one, the 48 00:02:20,480 --> 00:02:22,880 Speaker 4: vinyl goes all the way down to the deckled right. 49 00:02:23,280 --> 00:02:25,359 Speaker 4: That only thing that makes it special. I don't know 50 00:02:25,400 --> 00:02:28,360 Speaker 4: if it's really special. But it was special to Henry 51 00:02:28,400 --> 00:02:31,800 Speaker 4: Ford because it was the car, the Model A that 52 00:02:31,919 --> 00:02:35,560 Speaker 4: he drove to work every day, the Model A picture. 53 00:02:36,280 --> 00:02:39,080 Speaker 1: So this is so to see the depression. The depression 54 00:02:39,200 --> 00:02:41,920 Speaker 1: was twenty eight, right when the when the stock market crashed, 55 00:02:42,680 --> 00:02:46,200 Speaker 1: So this car was made the year after the stock 56 00:02:46,280 --> 00:02:47,080 Speaker 1: market crashed. 57 00:02:48,680 --> 00:02:49,200 Speaker 4: Exactly. 58 00:02:49,880 --> 00:02:50,320 Speaker 1: Wow. 59 00:02:50,720 --> 00:02:55,000 Speaker 4: Actually they first made the first ones in nineteen twenty seven, 60 00:02:55,600 --> 00:02:58,679 Speaker 4: but the automobile year, like they do now, is a 61 00:02:58,760 --> 00:03:01,359 Speaker 4: year in advance towards end of the year, so they 62 00:03:01,360 --> 00:03:05,880 Speaker 4: were all called twenty eight. Okay, that makes sense. 63 00:03:06,000 --> 00:03:08,679 Speaker 1: Yeah, well, yeah, I guess back then, sure, everything was 64 00:03:08,720 --> 00:03:12,520 Speaker 1: a little different than it is today. So if it 65 00:03:12,600 --> 00:03:17,480 Speaker 1: was made the year after the depression, you know, well 66 00:03:17,520 --> 00:03:19,840 Speaker 1: there must have been, right was there demand for the cars? 67 00:03:20,200 --> 00:03:22,280 Speaker 1: Nobody had any money, but I guess there must have been. 68 00:03:23,200 --> 00:03:24,960 Speaker 1: What sort of effect do you think the car had 69 00:03:25,000 --> 00:03:27,760 Speaker 1: on the Great Depression in terms of you know, creating 70 00:03:27,880 --> 00:03:32,280 Speaker 1: jobs and you know, whatever affluence came out of it. 71 00:03:32,280 --> 00:03:35,440 Speaker 4: It was only in production for four years, so I'm 72 00:03:35,480 --> 00:03:39,800 Speaker 4: not sure the economics about the time, but there were 73 00:03:39,840 --> 00:03:43,240 Speaker 4: a lot of innovations with it. Henry Ford tried to 74 00:03:43,320 --> 00:03:48,240 Speaker 4: keep the cost down. He would take the parts the 75 00:03:48,280 --> 00:03:50,880 Speaker 4: boxes at the parts came in and he would have 76 00:03:50,960 --> 00:03:54,720 Speaker 4: certain specifications for those part boxes so that he could 77 00:03:54,800 --> 00:03:55,560 Speaker 4: use them in the car. 78 00:03:55,760 --> 00:03:59,080 Speaker 1: So you mean, well, the the boxes were made out 79 00:03:59,120 --> 00:04:00,000 Speaker 1: of wood, right. 80 00:04:00,720 --> 00:04:04,360 Speaker 4: They were made out of wood, and the part of 81 00:04:04,400 --> 00:04:07,440 Speaker 4: the cars made out of wood. We had certain specifications 82 00:04:07,440 --> 00:04:11,800 Speaker 4: that he would specify to the part manufacturers to make 83 00:04:11,840 --> 00:04:13,920 Speaker 4: sure that there are a certain side so that they 84 00:04:13,960 --> 00:04:14,839 Speaker 4: could fit in the car. 85 00:04:15,360 --> 00:04:17,960 Speaker 1: So this car has been in your family since nineteen 86 00:04:18,160 --> 00:04:19,040 Speaker 1: fifty seven. 87 00:04:20,240 --> 00:04:23,559 Speaker 4: That's right. My father bought it in March nineteen fifty seven. 88 00:04:25,000 --> 00:04:27,880 Speaker 4: I was just over a year old when the car 89 00:04:28,520 --> 00:04:31,600 Speaker 4: came into the family and he's been part of our 90 00:04:31,640 --> 00:04:33,960 Speaker 4: family ever since then. I grew up with him until 91 00:04:33,960 --> 00:04:39,800 Speaker 4: I went to college. I dated girls in it. I 92 00:04:39,920 --> 00:04:42,080 Speaker 4: used to write in all the time of the family car. 93 00:04:42,200 --> 00:04:45,120 Speaker 4: For a while, I helped my dad restore it when 94 00:04:45,160 --> 00:04:48,240 Speaker 4: I was in nineteen seventy two, it'd be about fifteen 95 00:04:48,320 --> 00:04:56,200 Speaker 4: years old, and the car we restored it for the 96 00:04:56,520 --> 00:05:01,320 Speaker 4: National Modelay Meet in Seattle in nineteen seven two, and 97 00:05:01,400 --> 00:05:03,359 Speaker 4: the car got a blue ribbon, which means that it 98 00:05:03,960 --> 00:05:08,080 Speaker 4: had to meet certain requirements for safety and authenticity. So 99 00:05:08,440 --> 00:05:12,440 Speaker 4: blue ribbon car is an accomplishment, but it wasn't best 100 00:05:12,440 --> 00:05:14,440 Speaker 4: for show. But still that's still a good right. 101 00:05:14,920 --> 00:05:18,680 Speaker 1: Sure? Yeah, what's what's top speed of Little Willy? Just 102 00:05:18,760 --> 00:05:20,440 Speaker 1: out of curiosity. 103 00:05:20,360 --> 00:05:22,080 Speaker 4: Before or after I changed the engine? 104 00:05:22,200 --> 00:05:27,440 Speaker 1: Well as as as before, let's go before. How fast 105 00:05:27,520 --> 00:05:30,600 Speaker 1: was he before you changed the engine? 106 00:05:30,720 --> 00:05:33,960 Speaker 4: If you pushed him, he could go over sixty maybe 107 00:05:34,000 --> 00:05:35,279 Speaker 4: sixty one, sixty two? 108 00:05:36,600 --> 00:05:36,960 Speaker 1: Right when? 109 00:05:37,040 --> 00:05:39,440 Speaker 4: Did start underheating at that point? So you got it 110 00:05:39,480 --> 00:05:39,960 Speaker 4: back off? 111 00:05:40,200 --> 00:05:41,839 Speaker 1: Okay? So what will he do now? 112 00:05:43,480 --> 00:05:46,760 Speaker 4: He does? I had him up to seventy one as 113 00:05:46,800 --> 00:05:48,880 Speaker 4: a new, brand new engine, and I believe it or. 114 00:05:48,880 --> 00:05:52,000 Speaker 1: Not, now obviously a new model a engine. You haven't 115 00:05:52,839 --> 00:05:54,000 Speaker 1: changed it to anything else. 116 00:05:55,040 --> 00:05:58,240 Speaker 4: It's the engine was made in China. It's called the 117 00:05:58,320 --> 00:06:04,599 Speaker 4: Bert's engine. Terry Bert went to China and found a 118 00:06:04,680 --> 00:06:07,440 Speaker 4: foundry over there that would make the block for it, 119 00:06:08,000 --> 00:06:11,080 Speaker 4: and you can add on all the regular modeling parts 120 00:06:11,120 --> 00:06:16,200 Speaker 4: to it. This one has an air as a oil filter, 121 00:06:16,800 --> 00:06:21,160 Speaker 4: which the original one didn't, and it has five main 122 00:06:21,279 --> 00:06:23,640 Speaker 4: bearings instead of three, so that runs a lot smoother. 123 00:06:24,400 --> 00:06:27,920 Speaker 4: And they changed the cooling system inside the engine so 124 00:06:28,000 --> 00:06:32,000 Speaker 4: it can run a little bit cooler at higher RPMs. 125 00:06:32,440 --> 00:06:33,800 Speaker 4: You can get a little bit more out of it. 126 00:06:34,520 --> 00:06:37,400 Speaker 1: Why did you you know other than the obvious. You know, 127 00:06:37,560 --> 00:06:39,480 Speaker 1: let's change the engine a little bit of a power 128 00:06:39,520 --> 00:06:41,880 Speaker 1: upgrade kind of a thing? Was it? Was? It not 129 00:06:42,080 --> 00:06:45,400 Speaker 1: possible to get the old engine rebuilt a. 130 00:06:48,680 --> 00:06:52,000 Speaker 4: Blue ahead gasket. So I took it to a guy 131 00:06:52,080 --> 00:06:56,240 Speaker 4: here locally in western New York to check the engine 132 00:06:56,240 --> 00:06:58,000 Speaker 4: out to see if he could rebuild it for me. 133 00:06:58,680 --> 00:07:02,440 Speaker 4: And he did a magnifus fused test on it, and 134 00:07:02,480 --> 00:07:08,159 Speaker 4: it came back that engine block around the valve seats 135 00:07:08,200 --> 00:07:11,960 Speaker 4: were cracked. And I talked to a couple of guys 136 00:07:12,000 --> 00:07:14,720 Speaker 4: who could rebuild engines, and they said, well, you can 137 00:07:14,760 --> 00:07:17,200 Speaker 4: rebuild the engine, but we won't. We didn't guarantee it 138 00:07:17,240 --> 00:07:21,960 Speaker 4: for two days or twenty years, right, So I just 139 00:07:22,200 --> 00:07:24,000 Speaker 4: decided to get a whole new engine. 140 00:07:24,600 --> 00:07:28,040 Speaker 1: Are are there any parts left for Model A bill? 141 00:07:28,960 --> 00:07:29,200 Speaker 5: You know? 142 00:07:29,560 --> 00:07:29,760 Speaker 2: Oh? 143 00:07:29,880 --> 00:07:31,520 Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah. 144 00:07:31,560 --> 00:07:34,720 Speaker 4: They are about five or six major Model A suppliers 145 00:07:34,720 --> 00:07:38,520 Speaker 4: that have virtually almost anything you should find, from fenders 146 00:07:38,560 --> 00:07:45,000 Speaker 4: to engines, to transmissions, to the detailed screws for the 147 00:07:45,040 --> 00:07:46,800 Speaker 4: instrument panel everything. 148 00:07:47,240 --> 00:07:48,960 Speaker 1: Why do you think that is? I mean, here's a 149 00:07:48,960 --> 00:07:52,920 Speaker 1: car that's in my book one hundred years old? What's 150 00:07:52,960 --> 00:07:55,080 Speaker 1: what's the fact? What do you think the fascination is? 151 00:07:56,280 --> 00:07:58,800 Speaker 4: I don't know. From what I understand. They are about 152 00:07:58,800 --> 00:08:03,200 Speaker 4: three hundred thousand of them registered by the state DMVs 153 00:08:03,320 --> 00:08:06,240 Speaker 4: in the US, and there's a fair number outside of 154 00:08:06,280 --> 00:08:09,720 Speaker 4: the United States too, So it's still a fairly popular car. 155 00:08:09,800 --> 00:08:12,640 Speaker 4: I mean, it's a real niche market, of course, right, 156 00:08:12,800 --> 00:08:16,000 Speaker 4: But there's enough of a niche market that people are 157 00:08:16,040 --> 00:08:18,840 Speaker 4: still applying parts for it. 158 00:08:18,640 --> 00:08:21,320 Speaker 1: Is there enough parts out there? I mean, could you 159 00:08:21,360 --> 00:08:23,640 Speaker 1: build a brand new one from scratch if you wanted 160 00:08:23,640 --> 00:08:25,480 Speaker 1: to do? You have to have the bones to make 161 00:08:25,520 --> 00:08:26,119 Speaker 1: it all work. 162 00:08:26,800 --> 00:08:30,640 Speaker 4: Yeah, actually you could. Somebody did the calculations one time 163 00:08:31,080 --> 00:08:33,800 Speaker 4: and it costs you about fifty sixty thousand dollars. 164 00:08:34,480 --> 00:08:35,400 Speaker 1: It'd be brand new. 165 00:08:36,559 --> 00:08:39,000 Speaker 4: Yeah, you can make it out of all new parts. 166 00:08:39,080 --> 00:08:43,560 Speaker 1: Yet, So, what's the furthest you've ever taken Little Willie? 167 00:08:43,840 --> 00:08:47,560 Speaker 1: I mean, obviously, I'm sure it's parades and around town 168 00:08:47,640 --> 00:08:48,280 Speaker 1: kind of stuff. 169 00:08:48,280 --> 00:08:51,800 Speaker 4: But I well, last Saturday we had him out for 170 00:08:51,840 --> 00:08:54,400 Speaker 4: about fifty miles smart House, we put one hundred miles on. 171 00:08:55,080 --> 00:08:57,200 Speaker 4: That's the furthest I've had him since I've had the 172 00:08:57,240 --> 00:09:01,560 Speaker 4: new engine. When I was a kid. I dated a 173 00:09:01,559 --> 00:09:04,360 Speaker 4: girl that was sixty miles away, so I put one 174 00:09:04,400 --> 00:09:05,679 Speaker 4: hundred and twenty miles on him. 175 00:09:05,720 --> 00:09:09,760 Speaker 1: Man, if little Willy breaks down on the side of 176 00:09:09,840 --> 00:09:12,880 Speaker 1: the road, what do you do? Do you have tools? 177 00:09:12,920 --> 00:09:15,080 Speaker 1: Do you have parts? I mean you can probably you 178 00:09:15,120 --> 00:09:16,920 Speaker 1: probably can fix it on the side of the road, right, 179 00:09:18,000 --> 00:09:18,480 Speaker 1: if it's. 180 00:09:18,320 --> 00:09:20,960 Speaker 4: Something simple, you can fix it on the side of 181 00:09:20,960 --> 00:09:23,800 Speaker 4: the road. If the carb ration goes bad, or I 182 00:09:23,840 --> 00:09:28,440 Speaker 4: got spare spark plugs and spare wiring, and I got 183 00:09:28,480 --> 00:09:32,360 Speaker 4: parts for a new distributor and all that kind of stuff. 184 00:09:32,440 --> 00:09:34,840 Speaker 4: It's something simple like that, you can get it fixed. 185 00:09:35,120 --> 00:09:37,720 Speaker 4: But if you can't get it started, and no matter 186 00:09:37,760 --> 00:09:40,040 Speaker 4: what you do, you call it Triple A and they'll 187 00:09:40,040 --> 00:09:41,240 Speaker 4: come and tow you. Right. 188 00:09:41,800 --> 00:09:45,439 Speaker 1: Yeah, thank god for Triple A.

But does a Model A have 191 00:09:50,720 --> 00:09:52,680 Speaker 1: an electric starter? Or is this a hand crank? 192 00:09:54,840 --> 00:09:57,679 Speaker 4: The answer to most questions is yes, so it can 193 00:09:57,760 --> 00:09:59,840 Speaker 4: be Also it can be either or start. 194 00:10:00,360 --> 00:10:03,880 Speaker 1: So is the electric start or the option or did 195 00:10:03,880 --> 00:10:04,320 Speaker 1: you add it? 196 00:10:04,600 --> 00:10:07,480 Speaker 4: No, it's it came with the car. But people would 197 00:10:07,559 --> 00:10:11,240 Speaker 4: use the crank if the battery ran down right if 198 00:10:11,240 --> 00:10:13,559 Speaker 4: you or you can push it if you're on an incline, 199 00:10:13,640 --> 00:10:15,840 Speaker 4: or get a bunch of guys behind you and push 200 00:10:15,880 --> 00:10:19,839 Speaker 4: it started. It starts really easily. I've had it.

Because 233 00:11:50,800 --> 00:11:54,040 Speaker 1: you probably he was probably in and out of your life, right, 234 00:11:54,080 --> 00:11:56,040 Speaker 1: you know, kids getting the way, family gets in the way, 235 00:11:56,080 --> 00:11:58,080 Speaker 1: and life goes on. 236 00:11:58,200 --> 00:12:01,880 Speaker 4: Right when I went to college, I kind of lost contact. 237 00:12:01,880 --> 00:12:04,400 Speaker 4: I only had with contact with him when I went 238 00:12:04,440 --> 00:12:09,199 Speaker 4: back home from college or after I got married. Then 239 00:12:09,200 --> 00:12:14,120 Speaker 4: my father passed away about eight years ago, and I 240 00:12:14,200 --> 00:12:17,959 Speaker 4: inherited from him then, but I wasn't I didn't have 241 00:12:18,000 --> 00:12:20,360 Speaker 4: a garage to put him in. So we got a 242 00:12:20,400 --> 00:12:22,079 Speaker 4: garage to put him in about three and a half 243 00:12:22,200 --> 00:12:25,199 Speaker 4: years ago, and I had him shipped out from Spokane 244 00:12:25,240 --> 00:12:28,520 Speaker 4: to Western New York. I've been playing with him ever 245 00:12:28,559 --> 00:12:31,640 Speaker 4: since then. It was kind of like getting in touch 246 00:12:31,679 --> 00:12:33,880 Speaker 4: with an old friend from fifty years ago. 247 00:12:34,160 --> 00:12:35,679 Speaker 1: Yeah, I could. I could see that. 248 00:12:35,720 --> 00:12:35,920 Speaker 2: You know. 249 00:12:36,000 --> 00:12:38,040 Speaker 1: Someone once told me that we're really don't own these 250 00:12:38,040 --> 00:12:41,160 Speaker 1: classic cars. We're just the caretakers for the time that 251 00:12:41,160 --> 00:12:44,520 Speaker 1: we're here. And yeah, you know, and that's that's the 252 00:12:44,559 --> 00:12:48,720 Speaker 1: reality of it. Could you imagine driving Little Willy cross country? 253 00:12:48,920 --> 00:12:51,360 Speaker 1: How neat that would have been back in the day. 254 00:12:51,559 --> 00:12:55,200 Speaker 4: Oh yeah, with all the dirt roads and potholes and 255 00:12:55,440 --> 00:12:58,280 Speaker 4: met tunnels and right right and. 256 00:12:58,520 --> 00:13:02,400 Speaker 1: People people did right. But I guess then if you 257 00:13:02,440 --> 00:13:04,920 Speaker 1: got stuck, parts were just around the corner, right. It 258 00:13:04,920 --> 00:13:07,760 Speaker 1: wasn't a question of, you know, could you get parts 259 00:13:07,760 --> 00:13:09,640 Speaker 1: for him, or would you have to call a machine 260 00:13:09,640 --> 00:13:11,600 Speaker 1: shop to have something made or sent to China for 261 00:13:11,679 --> 00:13:12,120 Speaker 1: an engine. 262 00:13:12,800 --> 00:13:17,360 Speaker 4: It was probably fairly easy because they were pretty popular 263 00:13:17,440 --> 00:13:20,160 Speaker 4: back then. There were about five million of them. Made 264 00:13:20,160 --> 00:13:22,440 Speaker 4: it all together in the four year run. 265 00:13:23,320 --> 00:13:27,920 Speaker 1: Wow, crazy, that's crazy. And now and now you're now 266 00:13:27,960 --> 00:13:31,400 Speaker 1: you're Little Willie's caretaker. But you've got help also, as 267 00:13:31,440 --> 00:13:32,280 Speaker 1: I understand it. 268 00:13:33,679 --> 00:13:36,680 Speaker 4: Yeah, my son has been helping me out. The members 269 00:13:36,720 --> 00:13:39,800 Speaker 4: of the Model like Ford Club that here locally that 270 00:13:39,840 --> 00:13:41,600 Speaker 4: have helped me out, and they're the one that helped 271 00:13:41,600 --> 00:13:47,800 Speaker 4: me put the engine in the car. There's a couple 272 00:13:47,800 --> 00:13:49,640 Speaker 4: of friends at our church that are in the old 273 00:13:49,679 --> 00:13:51,440 Speaker 4: cars and they've come over and helped me do a 274 00:13:51,440 --> 00:13:55,800 Speaker 4: couple of things. We've put in new shocks, We've looped 275 00:13:55,800 --> 00:14:01,000 Speaker 4: my grandson William and I spent time the thing. A 276 00:14:01,040 --> 00:14:05,080 Speaker 4: couple of times. He had in grease gun out and 277 00:14:05,080 --> 00:14:09,480 Speaker 4: he was helping me with that. We've put in a 278 00:14:09,520 --> 00:14:14,760 Speaker 4: turn signals which is a modern innovation, and the car 279 00:14:14,800 --> 00:14:17,720 Speaker 4: has joined the twenty first century. It has a USB. 280 00:14:18,920 --> 00:14:23,760 Speaker 1: Power sport in it is that to interface with the radio. 281 00:14:23,760 --> 00:14:24,800 Speaker 1: Does the car have a radio? 282 00:14:24,880 --> 00:14:27,120 Speaker 4: Bill, No, it does not have a radio, but we 283 00:14:27,720 --> 00:14:29,320 Speaker 4: should listen to music on our. 284 00:14:29,200 --> 00:14:32,800 Speaker 1: Phone right right right. I'm sure it doesn't have an 285 00:14:32,840 --> 00:14:36,600 Speaker 1: OBD two connector either. No computers on this car at all, 286 00:14:37,240 --> 00:14:40,120 Speaker 1: you know, no, not at all. So what sort of 287 00:14:40,160 --> 00:14:42,880 Speaker 1: maintenance does he require? You know, what do you do 288 00:14:42,920 --> 00:14:46,120 Speaker 1: to him on an annual basis? Change the oil? 289 00:14:46,320 --> 00:14:50,000 Speaker 4: You got to change the oil frequently. It's got an 290 00:14:50,040 --> 00:14:52,400 Speaker 4: oil filter on it, and he changed oil about every 291 00:14:52,440 --> 00:14:56,720 Speaker 4: fifteen hundred or two thousand miles. He's got to make 292 00:14:56,720 --> 00:15:02,240 Speaker 4: sure that it's moved up every five hundred miles. Just 293 00:15:02,320 --> 00:15:05,640 Speaker 4: make sure that the paint on it stays. I've been 294 00:15:06,280 --> 00:15:10,760 Speaker 4: working a project to do the undercarriage. I'm repainting the 295 00:15:10,840 --> 00:15:13,680 Speaker 4: undercarriage to get rid of the rest, because the rest 296 00:15:13,760 --> 00:15:17,720 Speaker 4: is the worst enemy of these own cars. This car 297 00:15:17,840 --> 00:15:20,920 Speaker 4: is in good shape. It doesn't have any thing other 298 00:15:20,960 --> 00:15:25,400 Speaker 4: than a few surface rest places and hasn't run through anything, 299 00:15:26,840 --> 00:15:28,280 Speaker 4: which makes it a premium car. 300 00:15:28,360 --> 00:15:32,520 Speaker 1: Actually, you know, you've got to believe then, as I do, 301 00:15:32,640 --> 00:15:36,480 Speaker 1: that classic cars things like this, working with your hands, 302 00:15:36,520 --> 00:15:40,320 Speaker 1: that feeling of accomplishment at the end of a day 303 00:15:40,360 --> 00:15:42,160 Speaker 1: working on something like this, it kind of brings you 304 00:15:42,200 --> 00:15:43,480 Speaker 1: together as a family, right. 305 00:15:44,160 --> 00:15:48,720 Speaker 4: Yes, do. Actually, my father was an autobody repair man. 306 00:15:49,760 --> 00:15:53,240 Speaker 4: That was his job. I worked with him when he 307 00:15:53,320 --> 00:15:55,920 Speaker 4: worked with the car when I was a kid, and 308 00:15:56,800 --> 00:15:58,680 Speaker 4: I feel like when I'm working on him now, I'm 309 00:15:58,760 --> 00:16:02,120 Speaker 4: channeling him to help me with the car. And my 310 00:16:02,680 --> 00:16:04,920 Speaker 4: my son and my grandson are really into it to 311 00:16:05,080 --> 00:16:09,240 Speaker 4: My grandson wants to be able to drive the car 312 00:16:09,280 --> 00:16:10,760 Speaker 4: to high school like Grandpa did. 313 00:16:14,160 --> 00:16:17,040 Speaker 1: Now that's see, Now that's kind of neat, but you see, 314 00:16:17,200 --> 00:16:20,480 Speaker 1: he'll learn how to be self sufficient. He'll have you know, 315 00:16:20,520 --> 00:16:23,160 Speaker 1: there's something about working on an older car and keeping 316 00:16:23,160 --> 00:16:25,680 Speaker 1: it running that gives you self esteem and and that 317 00:16:26,120 --> 00:16:30,520 Speaker 1: sense of value and responsibility and creative thinking and thinking 318 00:16:30,600 --> 00:16:33,320 Speaker 1: outside the box and all of that and all of 319 00:16:33,360 --> 00:16:35,600 Speaker 1: that and and that's what's so lost today in the 320 00:16:35,600 --> 00:16:36,200 Speaker 1: modern era. 321 00:16:36,920 --> 00:16:39,480 Speaker 4: That's true. I agree. Yeah, I've had to figure out 322 00:16:39,520 --> 00:16:42,400 Speaker 4: things that you know, I didn't have any idea what 323 00:16:42,520 --> 00:16:45,040 Speaker 4: to do, but I looked at it. And that's where 324 00:16:45,080 --> 00:16:47,360 Speaker 4: my dad was, you should figure out things by just 325 00:16:47,440 --> 00:16:49,920 Speaker 4: looking at it. That's why I say, I feel like 326 00:16:49,960 --> 00:16:52,160 Speaker 4: I'm channeling my dad to help me do this. Yeah. 327 00:16:52,200 --> 00:16:54,800 Speaker 1: That that that that connection right, you know, it's it's 328 00:16:54,880 --> 00:16:58,520 Speaker 1: and that's really what it's all about. So yeah, well, 329 00:16:58,560 --> 00:17:00,280 Speaker 1: you know in our in our last minute, it in 330 00:17:00,360 --> 00:17:02,840 Speaker 1: ten seconds, Bill, do you have any future upgrades for 331 00:17:02,920 --> 00:17:04,320 Speaker 1: him real quick for a little Willie. 332 00:17:05,400 --> 00:17:09,000 Speaker 4: Well, we've put in some soundproofing already and we're finishing 333 00:17:09,040 --> 00:17:12,199 Speaker 4: that up.

You 385 00:19:46,960 --> 00:19:50,280 Speaker 5: have to picture it. It was metallic, burnt orange, metallic 386 00:19:50,359 --> 00:19:54,360 Speaker 5: which is metallic root beer color right, the black final top. 387 00:19:54,680 --> 00:19:56,919 Speaker 5: You don't see many of them even back then in 388 00:19:57,000 --> 00:20:02,120 Speaker 5: that color. And with the three forty, that was a screamer. 389 00:20:03,080 --> 00:20:06,760 Speaker 5: I would run it until the veils floaded, bang the gears, 390 00:20:06,800 --> 00:20:09,160 Speaker 5: and it was. It was as fast as just about 391 00:20:09,160 --> 00:20:09,960 Speaker 5: anything out there. 392 00:20:10,240 --> 00:20:12,639 Speaker 1: How old were you when you had that car? 393 00:20:13,280 --> 00:20:15,639 Speaker 5: I was nineteen. I was not one of those people 394 00:20:15,640 --> 00:20:18,760 Speaker 5: that turned sixteen or fifteen and they ran out. 395 00:20:18,640 --> 00:20:19,320 Speaker 4: And bought a car. I was. 396 00:20:20,040 --> 00:20:21,879 Speaker 1: Now when you look back and you go, geez, what 397 00:20:21,920 --> 00:20:25,160 Speaker 1: I had at nineteen? Are you amazed you survived? 398 00:20:26,960 --> 00:20:27,840 Speaker 4: It was a. 399 00:20:27,800 --> 00:20:31,439 Speaker 5: Challenge, yes, yes, and you know, not that we did 400 00:20:31,840 --> 00:20:34,840 Speaker 5: anything illegal, but we did driver rather fast. 401 00:20:34,960 --> 00:20:36,680 Speaker 1: Yeah, I had with it. 402 00:20:36,840 --> 00:20:39,720 Speaker 5: So I always like to say it was terrifying in 403 00:20:39,760 --> 00:20:40,280 Speaker 5: the rain, But. 404 00:20:40,800 --> 00:20:42,720 Speaker 1: Well, yeah, I would like to say we didn't. We 405 00:20:42,760 --> 00:20:44,680 Speaker 1: didn't really break any rules. We just kind of bent 406 00:20:44,720 --> 00:20:47,080 Speaker 1: them a little bit, you know, we just kind of 407 00:20:47,080 --> 00:20:49,160 Speaker 1: pushed the envelope, and I think that's what car guys 408 00:20:49,160 --> 00:20:51,960 Speaker 1: did when they were younger. So yes, whatever happened to 409 00:20:52,000 --> 00:20:53,600 Speaker 1: that car, what became of it. 410 00:20:54,280 --> 00:20:58,880 Speaker 5: I traded it in on a nineteen sixty nine BMW 411 00:20:59,000 --> 00:21:02,280 Speaker 5: two thousand and two, which was a great little car too, 412 00:21:02,320 --> 00:21:05,960 Speaker 5: Don't get me wrong. It was just gas prices started 413 00:21:05,960 --> 00:21:09,879 Speaker 5: skyrocketing in the mid seventies and it was just getting 414 00:21:09,920 --> 00:21:13,119 Speaker 5: too costly to drive. Plus I live in the Midwest. 415 00:21:13,280 --> 00:21:18,199 Speaker 5: It was totally impractical in winter, and the BMW was 416 00:21:18,280 --> 00:21:21,359 Speaker 5: a great little car, and it just it just. 417 00:21:21,359 --> 00:21:24,280 Speaker 1: It's always been. Has it always been Dodge Plymouth Hot 418 00:21:24,320 --> 00:21:26,320 Speaker 1: Rods for you or have you branched into other things? 419 00:21:26,320 --> 00:21:28,439 Speaker 1: Because it's funny guys tend to stick to one brand. 420 00:21:29,440 --> 00:21:33,000 Speaker 5: I'm not a collector, never really collected cars, not one 421 00:21:33,040 --> 00:21:35,520 Speaker 5: of those people that works on them much. So I've 422 00:21:35,520 --> 00:21:38,760 Speaker 5: had a variety, but I've always been a mopar guy 423 00:21:38,760 --> 00:21:42,640 Speaker 5: at heart, even before I bought this Plymouth.

Right, I did everything now from two 510 00:25:50,600 --> 00:25:55,399 Speaker 5: thousand and six to twenty twenty three, and those are 511 00:25:55,440 --> 00:25:58,240 Speaker 5: all cars that I knew in the area, people that 512 00:25:58,320 --> 00:26:03,520 Speaker 5: are passionate about Chrysler products, about maintaining Chrysler products and 513 00:26:03,520 --> 00:26:07,160 Speaker 5: owning them. And they were just a joy to work 514 00:26:07,200 --> 00:26:10,119 Speaker 5: with and a pleasure to photograph these cars and to 515 00:26:10,160 --> 00:26:13,440 Speaker 5: write about them. It just it was just a fantastic project. 516 00:26:14,000 --> 00:26:16,439 Speaker 1: You know, you have to give Chrysler credit, right because 517 00:26:16,480 --> 00:26:20,320 Speaker 1: their current level crop of muscle cars, so to speak, 518 00:26:20,400 --> 00:26:22,919 Speaker 1: is so reminiscent of the cars from the sixties and 519 00:26:22,920 --> 00:26:25,679 Speaker 1: the seventies. In terms of horsepower, in terms of look. 520 00:26:25,520 --> 00:26:28,200 Speaker 5: Oh ridiculous, what they've what they've done with it. You 521 00:26:28,240 --> 00:26:30,960 Speaker 5: know when when people say, oh, the sixties were the 522 00:26:30,960 --> 00:26:35,040 Speaker 5: good old days, Now they were great. I lived through them, 523 00:26:35,080 --> 00:26:37,560 Speaker 5: You lived through them. But these are the good old 524 00:26:37,640 --> 00:26:41,560 Speaker 5: days right now too. One thy and twenty five horse 525 00:26:41,600 --> 00:26:45,320 Speaker 5: power in the Demon one seventies. That's incredible. 526 00:26:45,640 --> 00:26:48,280 Speaker 1: Well, it's one thy twenty five horsepower and a car 527 00:26:48,320 --> 00:26:50,320 Speaker 1: that you can do one hundred and forty in one 528 00:26:50,359 --> 00:26:52,560 Speaker 1: finger holding onto the wheel. The air conditioning's on, the 529 00:26:52,600 --> 00:26:56,200 Speaker 1: power windows are working, the radio's blasting away, and you're 530 00:26:56,280 --> 00:26:57,920 Speaker 1: driving it with one finger on the wheel. Not that 531 00:26:57,960 --> 00:27:00,560 Speaker 1: I encourage anybody to try that, but but you could. 532 00:27:00,800 --> 00:27:03,520 Speaker 1: Right it's you know the old muscle cars. A friend 533 00:27:03,560 --> 00:27:06,960 Speaker 1: of mine has a Shelby GT. Three fifty, you know, 534 00:27:07,080 --> 00:27:11,040 Speaker 1: Cobra a Shelby, and you know, Jimmy always tells you 535 00:27:11,080 --> 00:27:12,560 Speaker 1: that Blue is trying to kill you if you don't 536 00:27:12,560 --> 00:27:14,360 Speaker 1: pay attention. You got to hang on with two wheels, 537 00:27:14,400 --> 00:27:16,000 Speaker 1: both feet, eyes wide open. 538 00:27:16,640 --> 00:27:17,800 Speaker 5: That was a challenge to drive. 539 00:27:17,880 --> 00:27:19,840 Speaker 1: Yeah, it's a challenge to drive, just like any of 540 00:27:19,840 --> 00:27:22,200 Speaker 1: the muscle cars you know that we talk about in 541 00:27:22,240 --> 00:27:24,600 Speaker 1: the book from the sixties and the seventies. Anything from 542 00:27:24,640 --> 00:27:28,240 Speaker 1: the sixties and the seventies require full attention. Oh yeah, 543 00:27:28,320 --> 00:27:30,480 Speaker 1: you know, it's it's but the book covers it all. 544 00:27:30,880 --> 00:27:33,119 Speaker 1: You know, you go all the way up through modern 545 00:27:33,200 --> 00:27:38,000 Speaker 1: day Chrysler. I mean this book, the color photography, the pages, 546 00:27:38,080 --> 00:27:40,080 Speaker 1: the engines just leap off the pages. There's no other 547 00:27:40,119 --> 00:27:40,760 Speaker 1: way to say it. 548 00:27:41,520 --> 00:27:43,800 Speaker 5: And my challenge was to take what Mike had done 549 00:27:43,920 --> 00:27:48,560 Speaker 5: those first ten chapters and right in a similar style 550 00:27:48,560 --> 00:27:50,600 Speaker 5: and photograph in a similar style, so that a person 551 00:27:50,640 --> 00:27:53,639 Speaker 5: goes go from chapter ten that Mike did to chapter 552 00:27:53,680 --> 00:27:56,920 Speaker 5: eleven that I did and really not notice that it 553 00:27:57,040 --> 00:27:59,639 Speaker 5: was somebody who writing it or somebody new doing the 554 00:27:59,640 --> 00:28:02,159 Speaker 5: photog it says. I've known Mike for years and I 555 00:28:02,240 --> 00:28:05,480 Speaker 5: really admired his work, and we have similar styles. I 556 00:28:05,480 --> 00:28:06,440 Speaker 5: think it turned out great. 557 00:28:06,720 --> 00:28:09,040 Speaker 1: You know, I'll tell you what you know.

John picked me up. He had a 674 00:33:41,920 --> 00:33:48,200 Speaker 1: seventy three forty Tha Kuda, the three forty six pack car, 675 00:33:48,680 --> 00:33:51,600 Speaker 1: and we just it was just another car to us. 676 00:33:51,640 --> 00:33:55,000 Speaker 1: It wasn't anything, you know, it wasn't anything crazy or special. 677 00:33:55,040 --> 00:33:57,040 Speaker 1: It was just it was just another set of wheels. 678 00:33:57,080 --> 00:33:59,120 Speaker 1: And you know, we drove that car every day. And 679 00:33:59,120 --> 00:34:02,080 Speaker 1: then John traded, I believe he then that's when he 680 00:34:02,120 --> 00:34:04,200 Speaker 1: went to a Camaro. It was a it was a 681 00:34:04,560 --> 00:34:08,239 Speaker 1: sixty nine, I want to say, it was a sixty eight, 682 00:34:08,280 --> 00:34:10,480 Speaker 1: sixty eight Camara with a big block in it. But 683 00:34:10,520 --> 00:34:12,759 Speaker 1: the big block was gone by then because we were 684 00:34:12,800 --> 00:34:15,440 Speaker 1: high school kids in the early seventies, and you know, 685 00:34:15,560 --> 00:34:20,240 Speaker 1: those cars had been street raced and you know, broken 686 00:34:20,280 --> 00:34:22,680 Speaker 1: in and abused a little and some of the engines 687 00:34:22,680 --> 00:34:24,319 Speaker 1: were blown up. So they were replaced with you know, 688 00:34:24,440 --> 00:34:27,480 Speaker 1: less available you know, small or more available small blocks 689 00:34:27,480 --> 00:34:30,040 Speaker 1: and things like that. But it was still the body styles. 690 00:34:30,200 --> 00:34:32,719 Speaker 1: But we had no idea what muscle cars were going 691 00:34:32,800 --> 00:34:35,759 Speaker 1: to become and the value of them today and the 692 00:34:35,880 --> 00:34:38,959 Speaker 1: uniqueness of them today.
