Wow, such a Cool gentleman from the good but very tough days to make a living era due to the Great Depression. He seems so “hip” even by today’s standards, I wish he could have been one of my neighbors. I’ll bet he has so many “priceless” stories he could talk about which would last a true friend a Lifetime. Thanks for posting this great “Treasure” of an interview with a very Special Man. 👏🏼❤️💕✌️💚💝🌎😊😎👍💜🦅
The wrinkle on the roof, the acid worn door panel, the broken spokes in the spare wheel and that welded patch on the back. The stories are priceless and to see the evidence as they are being told is really neat.
What a great" memory lane" video. The Guyers were wonderful neighbors. They had so much integrity and were conscious conservationists. Brownlee was a great practical joker. Thanks for creating this.
This is so cool! Hearing the stories about every small dent... Usually, everyone would want to fix that door upholstery. But now, knowing the story behind it, I'd want to keep it ;'D
@@robinimpey101 I'm deeply in love with the Chevy straight six. Lots of torque, smooth action and quiet running. On the other hand, the heavy engine puts quite a lot of weight onto the steering, making it quite a beast to turn around corners. The model A is easier to maneuver (and doesn't tend to understeer), but gets noisy and squirelly at speed. If I had a bunch of money back in the day, I'd have a Ford Coupe for the city and a Chevy Sedan for long trips.
@@AstraWerke Hmmm, good points. I was thinking one day when I have room I would get a Model A, but now I'm researching 1929-1931 Chevrolets. Don't tell Paul! 😄
@@robinimpey101 I'd strongly suggest you find a way to get behind the wheel of both before driving them. There are advantages and disadvantages to both. Spare Parts are another topic which the Model A wins - Chevy Tech is also a little more intricate than Fords - the front window, for example, has a complex mechanism of gears and pulleys to lift it... While the Ford has just two knurled nuts to do the same job. I had planned to do a Chevy/Ford showdown video, comparing handling, serviceability, etc of both - but then my engine crapped out. I'll do it once my car is back on the road... if you can wait that long.
Wow! Thanks for posting , great video. So neat to find out from the original owner what all the war wounds were and how they happened. That kind of thing would make you scratch your head and wonder what the heck happened. Love his model T too.
1. Passive-aggressive ol' dude, ain't he? 2. Those prank pyrotechnic bombs he mentions are advertised in an early-30s book of magic props and novelties I have; they not only make smoke when energized by the starter, but whiz and bang in succession, too, as if the engine is backfiring. 3. Your '31 looks positively modern next to his Model T. 4. Many cars have "story marks" like the several Brownleee mentions. Some might see them as flaws/damage, but they are an integral part of the car's history, and I hope you're determined never to restore them away.
Thank you so much for sharing this video! Brownlee Guyer was my mother's first cousin. I never had the pleasure of meeting him but just loved the stories that my mom would share with me about how he tamed chipmunks, squirrels, etc. and his work as a game warden. I'm happy to have had a chance to get a sense of what he was like.
So glad you could enjoy this piece. He was a TOTAL delight. I found his daughters a few years ago and they had NO IDEA this tribute to dad existed and so enjoyed it. You can imagine why. Thanks.
I'm not sure if he served Nicky. He was a forest ranger for years in Colorado. Sadly he left us in 2007. And he left us with his great high spirit and passions and glimmering eye!
I could hang out with this guy all day and just listen to his stories and learn something.

That dent is full of historical facts. How many people can give accurate first hand knowledge of how a dent happened on a 90 year old car.
I know you have a Model A, but of this era do you think Chevrolet or Ford make a better car for road trips?

what a great video.
great video, thanks.
This reminded me so much of my grandpa, we still have his 31. Such a great car, cruises so smoothly and sturdy like a rock. My favorite car to drive.
This video is so awesome! I would love to meet these lovely people.
He reminds me my grandfather.
Hi Guys I have a 1930 deluxe sedan! running good.
😝👍
I s Mr. Guyer still with us?
Sadly he no longer is Trixie.
@@MichaelAisner Thank you for the video and information.
@@MichaelAisner He is, but not his wife?
Is he a WW2 Vet?
I'm not sure if he served Nicky. He was a forest ranger for years in Colorado. Sadly he left us in 2007. And he left us with his great high spirit and passions and glimmering eye!
@@MichaelAisner Seemed like a nice spirited guy.
