I would like to sincerely thank the 100,000 viewers who watched in the month of February 2024. You have helped our family through a medical issue. 🙏🏻 not financially but my wife enjoyed the comments and number of views.
Took her mind off the pain.
She has since had back surgery and is doing very well thanks all.
This is not a political channel keep your politics to your self.
I will delete anything political.
Just saw my first episode. VERY cool! I just subscribed. Aloha from Hawaii! We don't have too many super old cars like that here-
You might not have old cars. But you make up for it by being in paradise 😎 thx for watching
A men .
😎
I am having a big problem with my car as of late, I was in a terrible accident where I was forced off the road on a curve just after crossing a creek bridge. Since that I have rebuilt my car, But for some reason my chain keeps jumping on the Transmission sprocker mounted on a 1949 Ford Transmission. Can that be caused because of the tighners between the axels are not intune with each other.My wheels measure the same between each Hun Center on both sides.This is a Great problem as of late.
Let's just pause for a moment to consider what a big deal this was in 1901.
Back then, you could have a great time taking your girl out for a ride with a horse-drawn surrey , but this was the Koenigsegg of its time; on a whole different level.
Imagine a time when this clanky contraption melted faces (and lifted petticoats). It's mind-blowing.
Thanks for sharing this!
You are correct. Thx for watching
My great-great grandmother said the most wonderful thing she ever saw was a car like that going up a steep hill without being pulled by horses.
It seemed like magic to everybody in the small village. They had never seen a car before.
It was a witch riding a horseless carriage 😂😂😎
It's difficult today to imagine just how "incredible" all this was in 1901. A moving carriage, rolling along by itself, without horses, ropes, cables, etc. This was like magic! Great video, thanks!
Thank you. Glad you liked it. 😎
Very fun... I'd take it to a drive-thru for ice cream or something. It's just fun to see history in operation.
That’s it, they were built to drive.
My great-grandpa was a pea farmer in rural Idaho. One day, a motorist broke down (overheat, total engine loss) right outside the farm. Great-grandpa got his first car for the cost of supper, room and board, and a wagon ride to the train station for the motorist. He took to motor out of the car, cut holes in the firewall for horse reigns, and hooked up a singletree to the front bumper. Now the family was riding in style. A horse-drawn car, totally enclosed from the weather. Grandma said they felt pretty fancy going to church in their car. Much better than the old farm buckboard wagon.
Now that’s funny. 😂😂 I bet their neighbors were jealous.
Nice Job! Starting that beast is certainly a days work- and it's theft proof!
Thank you. I guess if they hooked a horse to it they could steal. 😂😂
Wow. That's a quick buggy! I didn't realize they could go up to 30 mph. Great job and thank you for sharing.
Thank you for watching 😎
In 1901 my great grandfather was painting curved dash Olds'. With a brush, not a sprayer. Had to get the consistency of the paint just right plus be an artist with the brush. He later taught one of his dons in law how to do it and Grampa repainted his 1960 F100 that way. It had been used by a prior owner carrying a camper for hunting and the sides were badly scratched up. When he sold it nearly 30 years later, the buyer was really skeptical that it had been painted so long before and with a brush. His trick for getting it smooth was thin it just right with the right thinner and his trick for durability was mixing porch enamel in with automotive enamel. The paint still looked quite good after all those years, in spite of never being garaged.
Cool story 😎 thx for watching.
This is an incredible piece of automotive history. I love it. It's beautiful.
Thank you
“Oh, you drive a ‘01 Oldsmobile? Which one: Intrigue, Aurora, Bravada, Alero…?”
*_Curved Dash_*
Yes sir. 😂😎
It takes a special kind of person to have the love and patience to deal with these old time capsules. Please know that you're very much appreciated. 🙂
Oh, I’m special, alright. There’s something wrong somewhere 😂😂😂😎
Well your video shows just what a person had to do just to start a vehicle in those days and what a person had to do to drive a vehicle in those early days. There was quite a bit of oiling and maintenance to be done on a vehicle at the time. I have also viewed the maintenance required on a railroad locomotive, and there is quite the chore oiling up that piece of machinery. Now more than one hundred twenty three years later we can just go out and start our vehicles and the maintenance is not near as involved. One had to really be diligent on vehicle maintenance back then.
Amen brother.
Thank you for taking the time to make this happen! It's so intriguing how it all started. As a bonus we even got a chance to see a turn of the century tailgater. Ha!
Thanks for watching. Glad you liked it. Don’t forget to check out the other videos.😎
These are so elegant human-sized vehicles. My grandfather had an automobile in 1904 of model Reo. He used to be driving horse carts before that as a local "taxi" in his city. Then he bought the car which was the first one in that city ever. He started to drive taxi till 1946 when he retired while having numerous other cars along the line.
Very nice. REO of corse. Was Ransom E Olds second car and truck company. What state and city did he drive in. Great history.
@@KlepsGarage He was living in Europe. I guess in US the cars were much more popular at that time
Great story thank you.
This is a lovely horsless carriage, it is amazing history. Thank you for sharing.
Thx for watching. 😎
half an [edited] hour later, "starts right up!"
XD early vehicles were a trip and I would absolutely love to argue with one for two hours just to have a stupid sunday afternoon drive :D
Thx for watching 😎
My heartfelt thanks to you! you will find my name on the Family Wall at the REO Transportation Museum in Lansing Michigan. I can't tell you what seeing the dedication and care you seem to take with your Curved Dash! I want you to know that watching you drive it on the road at speed was actually emotional for me and, my Great Grandfather would be proud (and curious about the modifications). Thank You!!
Thank you and I apologize in advance for not knowing who you are. Now I have to do some research unless you would like to enlighten me at klepsgarage@gmail.com.
Thank you, I sent you an email.
The Guys who built this car are now100 years dead - but this thing is still running. Great!
Yeah what’s up with that. 😎
That's beyond cool. Thanks for keeping her alive.
Thx for watching. 😎🍰
This is why I always loved Oldsmobile.
Agreed 😎
It's funny to see the stages in which automobiles progressed- usually the next boost of development occurred as previous patents expired. Forward twenty five years from this and the driver is still very much in control of the individual aspects of the operation. Forward on another twenty five and the vehicle is unrecognizable in terms of construction and operation. My car, 50 years newer, starts at the push of a button, changes gears by itself, automatically adjusts carburetion and ignition, not to mention all the other mod cons. It really takes skill to understand, operate and care for these machines which is something people take so much for granted now. Thank you for sharing with us!
Amen brother thx for watching.
When you tell Your friends it's you're going old school Style
This would be one room school house. Old school 😂😂😎
Very well done video Sir. About 10 years ago, I read “Car Crazy;” and if I recall correctly, the round/rolled dash was the first exported car. Truly iconic, but this is the first time I’ve seen one put into operation. One needs your fantastic set up to keep something like this running.
Thank you and thx for watching.
I like a working museum/gallery
Finally, a vehicle worth driving. Unlike most people, I never liked modern cars.. they're ugly, fast and dangerous in some cases. But automobiles back then were outstanding! My great grandfather owned a Packard Twin Six from 1921. I still have it in my shed and sometimes I take it out for a ride. I take absolute care of it in the name of my great grandfather.
Thx for watching. You have a real family heirloom. Is it a V2 or twin ignition you can send a picture to klepsgarage@gmail.com
From a documentary on the Packard motor cars it had said that Packard was the first automobile to have a steering wheel instead of the joy stick as I call them .
@@peteloomis8456 Fairly interesting, thanks for telling us that
Don't drive at any further than you want to walk back😊
Good idea
Or have your horse follow you 😂
1901 2024
123 years
well maitained
olds mobile cars are wonderfully manufactured
up to now these cars strong and wonderfully designed
i appreciate your true effort of taking care of this unforgettable but you need one helper too
Thank you I have two sons, but they’re not always able to help with these videos.
I have a replica that we built from a layout blue print purchased from the Oldsmobile museum in Lansing Michigan. With nothing in front of you 20 miles per hour can seem like way too fast, I can't imagine 30.
You wouldn't want to hit anything you would fly out of the car. Thx for watching
I would love taking a trip with you across Country with my 1901 Curved Dash Oldsmobile.
Automobubbling right along.
A machine truly worthy of the term "horseless carriage!" Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for watching 😎
Thanks from Australia. Liked and subscribed!
Great country you have. I’ve been to QLD and NSW. 😎🍺
wifey runs in "someone's trying to steal the Olds" Hubby "good lemme know if they get it running" Really fun to see a car that actually "Chooches"
Now that’s funny thanks for watching
As a Brit, it's interesting that it's RHD
Buggies were right hand drive so cars naturally followed however, Ford was one of the first ones to come out with left-hand drive because it was safer to exit on the curbside and everybody was in a hurry to pass. They also couldn’t see around the buggy driving from the right side. Yes everyone was in a hurry then to.
26:00 i think the video from here on summarizes my experiences attempting to start my dad's lawnmower as a teen.
Frustrating, isn’t it?
A lot more character than an EV!
Amen brother
I like his idea of the fire extinguishers at ready wise move!!
Well, it’s kind of not replaceable so don’t wanna take a chance
Thank you😎
It's truly a "horseless carriage", how they used to name it back then. Because it's more resembles a carriage than a car.
Yes Sir. You are correct 😎
Amazing....Thanks & respect for doing something very special
Thank you 🙏🏻😎
“They don’t make them like they used to”
How they used to make them:
Agreed. Thx for watching. 😎
That is so awesome! Thank you for preserving this beast!
Thx for wat hung 😎 it’s fun to play with.
How awesome would that have been in 1901 when your neighbors all had horse drawn buggies to come riding down the road in a horseless version! Magical.
Yes a lot has changed. I’m ready to go back to horses. They reproduce and make new versions for free. Doesn’t cost 80k to update your equipment!
Subscribed! My late father was a career-long die maker with Pontiac, and his dad, a die maker at Fisher Body, beginning in '48. By the time it was my turn to become a die maker, nearly everything in machining, had been computerized at GM.
Thx. Yeah, I don’t know who they expect to buy these cars if they do away with all the jobs.
You got robbed…
Woooo! It's a Single Jug Thug it is! I love it. Thanks for sharing it with us.
Thank you
Wonderful. In 2013 Joy Rainey drove hers from LA to Florida in 31 days. Her book "Joy Across America" makes good reading.
I hope it was a 1904. They are built a lot better. Great now I have something else to research. Thx man 😎
@@KlepsGarage Yes, I believe it was a 1904 car. She also drove it South to North Australia. Joy was a very successful Hill Climber in her McLaren and other cars and intrepid adventurer. She drove a Morris Minor from UK to Australia. She overcame her physical handicaps and was a most impressive person.
I read the article Haggarty did fantastic story. I wonder if anybody videoed any of it.
@@KlepsGarage Sadly not that I know of.
I found a Hagerty interview. And a video of here London to bright tour. Amazing woman and car.
It's great to see these cars and other machines still going well done.
It will be going after I’m done.
So dang cool watching you drive it, hearing that steam engine just chuggin along, it's like you're riding a train more than driving a car haha.
Yes it is. Part of the romance of an old car.
It's not steam...
that is the weirdest thing i have ever seen lol
Agreed. There are a lot of strange things over the years.
Nice ride! Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for watching👍😎
Good old times
@KlepsGarage Nooo, It would be my Grandfather's. However, later on he switched to a '53 Chevy which he kept until he passed in the very early '60s.
Well done, I really enjoyed that, Thank you
Thank you for watching. It was fun making.
This is a fascinating car. I've watching this about 3 times. I believe yours runs best of all the RUclips Curved Dash videos I've binged today. Sure is a great car. Thanks for taking us along. I think you should include it in your 1/4 mile challenge. The High gear seems to really walk off.
Thx Jeff. It is a good runner It needs a bigger radiator for summer driving. Also noisy than newer Olds because of the open transmission. It does run faster than the Brush. Might just run the quarter. Thanks for watching.
What if you dress up in 1900s clothes and pull in to a dealership mechanic and ask for help
They wouldn’t have a clue what to do. Other than trying to sell you some EV car😂😎😂😂
🤣
Wow that car is way faster than I thought lol old things are so cool 😎
Thx for watching. 😎
You should have Billy Murray singing in the background: "He'd have to Get Under, Get Out and Get Under" (Recorded 1913)
OK I’m sure U2 would copyright that and I’d get demonetized
Thx for watching 😎
OK I’m sure YT would copyright that and I’d get demonetized
Thx for watching 😎
Nothing says power like a giant red spinning flywheel. 😁
Lots of rotating mass
@@KlepsGarageI'd drive this then a crappy tesla or any new car.....these were built to last
Truth for unstoppable torque
That vehicle has prolly seen some things
Would be nice to know.
@@KlepsGarageshe was made befor titanic lol..
At Progressive we've seen a thing or two.
I think your thinking of Farmers Insurance not progressive 😂😂😂😎
A true horseless carriage. Fascinating machine and starting procedure. 😮
Thank you thanks for watching
Great daily driver.
😁😂😂👍
Back in the day it was. 😎
This incredible machine must have caused quite the stir in rural and urban America. A horseless carriage of all things. They could have drawn crowds for miles around just to watch it pass by.
I’m sure it did. It would be like having your own space craft now. 😎
Exactly. It is easy to forget that this machine is NOT quaint, it was amazing, near futuristic state of the art in 1902.
To be fair, I think it'll draw a crowd even today if the route it'll take is published in advance. I'd go out just to see such an old beauty pass by!
Thx 😎
Very exciting video. I'm in admiration.
Thanks for watching. I have other vids to. 😎
@@KlepsGarage I know. I'm on them now 😁
Thx for watching. 😎
1901 talk about a different world lol. Really cool car. Is it the real thing? Not a kit replica?
Yes it’s the real deal.
I have seen pictures of these cars. The coolest thing have ever seen. Thank you sir.
Thanks for watching. I’m glad you enjoyed it.😎🍺
Breakneck speeds 20-25 mph I'm impressed
25 mph!
“Slow down you maniac! Speed limit is 5!”
This was the very first mass-produced automobile. I would use the cheap, single-grade oil, like that old "Golden State" oil in the yellow bottles. That stuff is great in old cars. I used it to break in the engine in my vintage Jeep. Once broken in, I switched to Castrol, supposed to some othe best oil there is, and a rod bearing went out. Fixed it, ran it on Golden State awhile more, switched to Castrol again and another rod bearing went out. Fixed it AGAIN and this time just kept it running on cheap old Golden State. Never had trouble again.
The first person that ever rode in one of these other than the designers/engineers mind must have been blown. It's a laughable bit of tech now, but then... Wow.
agreed imagine the first flying car.
Really enjoyed this! That Model T coil tester is amazing. Thank you for sharing.
Thx for watching. Old cars a fun to play with.
YOU R A MASTER WITH THIS RELIC. I THANK YOU FOR GOING THRU A MILLION THINGS TO DO JUST TO GET IT RUNNING
🙏🏻🍰
I've had a couple rides on one at Oldsmobile Homecoming here in Lansing.
*- What a treat to see this startup.*
*- My dad would have loved seeing the and showing it to me as a child back in the 1950's.*
*- He drove a 1956 Olds 88 back then like my Grandfather's older model.*
*- It was the white and salmon two tone version and I liked it too.*
My grandfather had a 55 olds four-door. My dad had a 56 green and white two-door. Both before my time. Great cars.
@@KlepsGarage *- I remember the solidness of their ride.*
*- Also, they were great in the snows of Northern New Hampshire because of their weight, especially with snow tires that had walnut shell chips in the retread material, which seemed to provide mini-suction cups to either ice or asphalt.*
It’s funny how old cars can stir up great memories. 😎
Not exactly a low Matinance Vehicle ! in the 1980s i drove a older MGB and it was in. Constant Service and Maintenance but fairly reliable a Freind of mine Sister had one also hers was Constantly Broken Down and in the Shop one day she asked me about oiling the Carburetors as her Mechanic told her the last time it broke down that’s all it needed i realized she had no idea where
the Carbs were so i told her. she gave me a puzzled look and asked how do i open the Hood ? i knew right then , that’s probably why hers is always in the Garage getting fixed LOL this Olds is funny you took half of it apart to access the points you needed to Service just to start it ! and this is a Vehicle Theoretically are supposed to start from the Seat !
Yes. You hit that on the head. Thx 😎
Really cool .Makes me miss my grandpa..he had a model T ..he probably had one of these he loved early period auto.
Thanks for watching. Enjoy.
Wow so cool I would drive that everywhere 😮
Only bad thing is the other traffic
Thanks for the ride 😊
Thx for watching. 😎 I guess it does feel like you’re riding along.
You need to bounce up and down like a horse. Cause the olds does that until you get up to speed.
do you think that a 2024 auto will be able to run in 100 + years .
Not likely. Maybe we will finally get flying vehicles. 😂😂
I’m a New Subscriber I just Stumbled onto Your Content, Great that’s all I Needed was another Notification to Stop Working (Provided You Post When I’m @ Work 🤣 Sorry BK😉). With that out of the way, I am 50 years old I would not consider myself a car enthusiast, but I do love automobiles, old and new and I as Many Folk’s, I Own a few of each.
Obviously I Don’t know what Old is & My old and Your old are extremely different, for I have never laid eyes on a sleigh with engine and wheels. You Know “Old” Automobile’s & I’m Envious, can’t wait to see what’s In Store & Looking forward to catching up on the balance of your material. Should the good Lord give me time to do so.
I appreciate the time you take to post and share your beautiful collection with those lucky enough to find your channel as I did this this afternoon.
I’m Killing time while the wife is with our daughter-in-law, giving birth to our second grandson congratulations Mike and Kyleigh .
Wow. Prayers for a healthy baby and family. My wife has been bed ridden past week with severe back and nerve pain. No fun her. Will be awhile with a new vid. The one you watched is a year old. They are all numbered. We are up to episode 81. I premier new vids on Friday nites at 8:30. Usually one a month
Very nice. I did not expect it to have a two speed transmission.
Was advanced for the time period
Thx for watching
She runs a lot faster than I expected. I expected maybe 10mph but it looked more like 25-30.
Top speed was supposed to be 30 back in the day
Google gives conflicting results about the first mid-engine production car, no mention of this car! Would it not count??
I guess. However the first Ford and Cadillac were built the same way as well as other makes.
Good question 😎
Спасибо за подробное ознакомление !Очень редкий раритет...!
Thank you for watching. 😎🍰
Great job
Thank you
What a shame that general motors destroyed their most innovative division. It's no wonder that GM is now gm. Maybe Toyota will buy them.
Yep big companies with 20 something thinking can screw up a good thing. 🥸
How is it that this survived? How did it get preserved all these years?
Well the prior owners. Keep it inside and out of the weather.
I have it in a climate controlled barn also. Rain and high humidity are a cars worst enemy. Thx for watching.
Reeeeal Early Cutlass
instead of a 442 it could be a 121
One barrel, two speed, one exhaust. Vs. four speed four barrel two exhaust.
It's a lot of work to get it going but it was probably less work than getting and feeding and keeping a horse happy and healthy. Plus, less horse poop in the town streets, which was a really big and growing problem at the time.
Correct. Imagine if everybody had a horse today. Poo. Everywhere.
@@KlepsGarage You have no idea.Look up the streets of poo. look up the River Thames England at those times.
Also, you don't have to feed the Olds when it's just sitting there, not being used.
It's almost like a steam locomotive, you need to oil and grease everything before starting up.
Close to it. He for watching
Heh heh, peak horsepower at 700 rpm (give or take a few). The old girl moves along at a pretty good clip, considering that engine is probably only 4-5 hp. tops!😄 👍👍
Not bad. Thinking horse is around 10. But who’s counting. 😎
@@KlepsGarageLOL, probably is with modern fuel and some added timing!!😉
thats realy cool thank you amazing old technolagy
Glad you liked it. Thx for watching 😎
@@KlepsGaragetop speed. And yna curved fadj
30 mph. Or 48 k.
What an absolutely terrific video!
Thank you🙏🏻. Thx for watching 😎🍰
Good thing that anit no fire engine.
Amen brother.
I drove mine on a Round Trip from Redding, California all the way to Missouri and spent a week in North West Missouri and then on the Branson, Missouri to the Son's of the Pioneers and Luther Nally's for an appearance then all the way back to Redding California traveling many of the Old Roads inclusing Route 66, I traveled through several major Cities on the Interstate and people excorted me instead of complained and made some very large Donations to the American Fallen Warriors along the way. I even had Admiral's and an Air Force geeneral escourt me plus the C. H. P. and the Idaho Highway Patrol on major Interstates with Honor and not one complaints. I was welcome in every place I traveled except here in the town I live in. Redding, California.
Wow. Fantastic journey. Send me a picture or two. Klepsgarage@gmail.com.
That’s frickin cool. Good for you my friend 👍🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻😁
Thx man 😎
You done good Bruce. Your camera man is almost out of a job, now. The sound came thru nice and clear.
It’s better with a cameraman. But he earning a living.
More Reliable Then A Tesla
Even as long as I took to start it faster than charging an EV.
XD
Amazing I would build a replica one day. Unfortunately i have got a few ongoing projects to be done first.
Don’t we all thanks for watching 😎
after about the year 2000 cars started going backwards in improvements
That is no joke, in ugliness too.
Everything looks the same too
You would think with the help of computer design help we would have better designs
@@KlepsGarage yes, i work on modern car wrecks everyday they make these things on purpose to be as costly as possible and still get away with it, a simple deer hit can destroy everything in the front end which is mostly plastic
Amen brother😎
This made me smile 😊
Pretty cool!
Thx🙏🏻😎
Next time you want to drain the oil, raise the front end by putting the front wheels on two milk crates. this would make the oil "level" hole the lowest point in the crankcase.
Thanks. Been getting some good ideas.
I've got 1 of the first speedsters motors I've not got the carb or what was bolted up to the crank case for fuel it will run both ways it should sound close to yours it's close in years Dubble flywheel 20 inch to maybe 2 foot going by memory so that's probably wrong
Thanks for video, very nice car!!! 👍💙💛
Thx for watching. 😎
