I cant tell you why, thr Eagles
Yeah buddy congratulations you got it =)
Anytime I hear Eagles death leopard heart I think my dad..
Real quick story so when I was growing up my mom was in the craft business we did 46 craft shows a year my dad drove truck for a dynamite company and then he would come home and he would put stuff together for my mom for these craft shows. He would also come home on the weekends load up the truck in the trailer and We Will Drive God knows where sometimes we’d end up in New Jersey.. but he would always play the Eagles or Def Leppard rare occasions heart sometimes Charlie Daniels.
Idk it seems like forever when you’re in the moment it’s hard to believe it’s almost been gone for seven years.
Thats a really nice memory.@@What.its.like.
It was going to be a Fleetwood Mac song but then I change my mind at the last second lol =)
👍👍
Pretty nice looking.
Love those old cars. That is a nice blue color.
Great car. Awesome armoire!
Beautiful in appearance design. Seems like a masterpiece of detailing and proportion.
Keep up the good work really like your show God bless
=) thank you
A very interesting car. I had no idea there were any left.
I wonder how many are left I guess there is a bunch of those Royal dispatch I saw a couple cell of various auctions when doing this episode but it’s not the same car because every single one the engine blocks painted different
Interesting how the rear window shape mirrors the logos on the side steps. Thanks for introducing us to long-forgotten marques.
You bet that’s what I really love to do on this channel I love to bring the light the car companies that people forget about =)
Do you know how to discovery channel does shark week I think we’re gonna do prewar month or something like that I wanted to do A parity week where every video is of the intro is a parity of somebody else like do the intro, like how Doug demuro says this, scotty Kilmer, car wow, hoovies garage, The list goes on and on I thought that would be really funny but I only wanted to do it for a week and I didn’t wanna do the whole episode like that just the intro
Blue Sky Allman Brothers 🤞
Great guess but not that song or band
I had never heard of the Chandler before. This 1923 model reminds me of the Cadillac of the same year which Fred Murtz purchased in 1955. The others on the 'I Love Lucy' show were not happy with that car.
There are tons and tons of manufacturers like Chandler that just got lost the time my mission is to cover all of them
Thank you so much for adding that part about I love Lucy that was really cool =)
I would love the Chalmers in the first would you rather! I'm an Allis Chalmers tractor collector and a car would be a cool addition!!
Awesome choice
I would love to feature tractors on here eventually anything with a motor because the stories intertwine
Hi Jay!: LOVE how you find DIFFERENT and Interesting cars! The Chandler is VERY interesting! I like the early 1920's drum headlights and steps, instead of running boards! The disc wheels are also VERY early 20's! WTR#1 Royal Dispatch! #2 The Chandler again! Seems to have more styling than the other cars!
You know me I love going after the cars that nobody talks about because they’re worth being remembered. =)
Great choices glad you dig this episode
Apparently those orphans made some pretty decent cars.
I’m a firm believer the orphans made the best cars unfortunately they spent all their money on innovation and the big three just came and took it
Orphans work really hard because they only have themselves
Another car I'm not familiar with! I'm glad you were able to take a ride, even if it was hard to get into. Nice color.
For WYR, I'll take the Chandler, then the Hupmobile.
Awesome choices
It rude really nice I forgot to say that from experience in the rear seat the only thing was was the floor wasn’t proportion it to where the seat was I don’t know how to really describe it was like being in a Ford Thunderbird lol.. it wasn’t bad I just I should’ve exited the car on my knees lol
Fascinating history! I'd pick the Chalmers and the Hup😎
Sweet choices =)
"Will a 6 foot cabinet fit into a Prius?" LOL Yeah, I figured you'd get it to fit. My neighbor is a farmer who drives a prius... no, seriously... believe it or not... He hauls everything from cattle feed to fence posts to seed bags and anything else he can fit into that thing!
Haha
I went on a wood run today in my 52 Chevy truck I got it back yesterday Universal got done.. it’s still not 100% it needs to go in for alignment I made an appointment about a month ago everybody’s been really backed up it’s going Monday.. i’m going to do a review on it like a three-year review I’ve owned it for that long talk about good bad the ugly there really isn’t anything super ugly other than finding some parts every now and then.. I drove 250 miles today and averaged 20 miles to the gallon which is fantastic and a 1 ton Dually truck that 70 years old.. but if I have to go to town like downtown Pittsburgh I will do everything I can not to drive the truck there because it’s really tight and I don’t wanna Park it on the street or sometimes have to go to the Hilly parts and park on a hill.. I’ve been places where parking isn’t a thing so I take the Prius for that =)
Chandler in both cases
=) awesome choices
I think the Chandler is the best looking of the cars presented - I'll have the Chandler, please!
Awesome choice =)
Those fuel "filters" are called sediment bowls... (maybe you knew that but couldn't think of the name)... but yes, their purpose is to "filter" the fuel by allowing large particles to settle out into the glass bowl. The bottom one may have had an actual paper element or brass bead "rock" filter but the top one was just a sediment bowl. It appears to be in between the feed line from the tank and the "vacuum pump" or whatever it's called (but yes, it is a vacuum operated fuel pump), so it would be the primary "filter", to allow large particles to settle out before the fuel enters the "pump". Apparently they decided that wasn't enough, so they added another sediment bowl "filter" between the pump and the carburetor. I see there is also an electric solenoid operated valve there too, so likely the second filter and that valve were added fairly recently... though the sediment bowl may have been factory equipment and only the valve was added.
Sorry, but I'll pass on all of those cars... ;P There were so many different companies back then, I think most people just bought whatever was available in their area.
I know a lot of Eagles songs, but I didn't recognise that short clip of it. BTW, the Eagles are everyone's dad's favorite band. LOL
Haha yeah
I think this was the second car that I did when I was there a lot of people had fuel pumps that were vacuum operated by the fifth car I knew how it worked I just didn’t know how it worked there and I didn’t understand why there needed to be two bowls some of them only had one but there were a few that had two
Thank you so much for sharing that explanation =)
I know next to nothing about oldtimers, so this is fascinating. I do know about how much you can get in a Prius, which is more than you'd think.
That’s why I showed it when I delivered the cabinet the guy was like how do you get here and I said I’d put this in a Prius and he could not believe it.. an 8 foot cabinet would fit inside there but it can’t be as wide as that one was
If it was 28 inches wide instead of 30 it would fit in there no problem. The Prius is my appliance car but it gets 40 miles to the gallon I have a 52 Chevy truck I’ve done some modifications to it yesterday I drove 250 miles and got 20 miles to gallon average out of it.. there’s a few more things we gotta do to it but I think we might be able to get close to 22. I would love to put a two speed rear ended it put 290s in it and then it might get even better than that but I don’t have the budget to do that right now and it will probably never get done if I’m honest. I’m pretty happy with the results going to do another episode on it when it gets all done.
I have a Gen 2 like you - 2006, 192k miles - and I'm currently getting an indicated 51.8 mpg Imperial. Your 40 mpg US equates to 48 Imp., so pretty good. I drive a lot slower than I used to (55-65 mph on motorways and main roads) so that'll have something to do with it. Is your Chevy a 216 or a 235? Three/four-speed or auto? Or maybe you've upgraded?
The 52 1 ton truck has a 350 V8 four speed stick 373 rear end 19.5 radial tires and it does really well.. The 350 at 50-60 is hardly working.. The radials made a huge difference there isn’t any resistance like bias tires have
Glad to see an actual Chandler, and in my favorite color. Read vintage ads about Chandler, Paige, and Apperson from old magazine ads in the public library . First pick, 1923 Chalmers, second. 1923 Hupp.Ergonomics wasn't thought of with straight instead of drop center frames and narrow door openings.
I want to get out of the car and I don’t know what happened I guess I was too tall to get out and I got hung up on the door and it actually kind of hurt I almost landed on my face with my big bag I had to catch myself but I’m the only one I think that saw it but I was embarrassed nonetheless. Haha
Awesome choices =)
Chalmers and a Huppmobile 🤔 I love the Hupp interiors 👏👏 Chalmers had incredible torque......
I looking up a Chandler roadster ???
I prefer a cross flow head 😉 but it sounded pretty good ....
Outstanding episode for me l enjoy discoveries and new unusal auto's 👏👏👏✌️🤠👍
I couldn’t find pictures of all the bodies and like I said the software is been glitching like I’ll have the whole episode done and then I’ll go back and listen to it and it has all of the voice recording all jumbled up in one area it didn’t make any sense it was going great there for a month as soon as they add more features that’s when it starts acting up
Great choices
Glad you did this episode =)
@@What.its.like. 1926 Chandler 6 race car 💛💛💛💛 google 👍
Rumble seat roadster Stunning car 😍👏👏
There are many orphan horseless carriages in the early 1900s.
So many
The goal is to at least cover one from every manufacturer to tell their story we are here for the long-haul
The oil and gas thing on the dash - while I'm only speculating - is probably a record keeping device. At every service stop, you'd dial in how much gas and oil you purchased. You could use the record of how much gas you've used against how many miles you drove to get your MPG. Same for the oil. And you'd be able to see if oil or gas consumption was going up. Probably the precursor to the trip computers we have now that tell you MPG. Might've even been an aftermarket add-on, judging by its odd placement on the dashboard and the fact that it's nickel plated when the rest of the instruments are chrome plated.
Awesome thank you so much for that information it makes sense
I never saw Gauge like that one.
1 & 2: One of each so I have one for different days of the year.
Tune: I'm not sure, but it sounds like Alabama or some other country band from back when country music was country music and not whatever the radio is playing these days.
Awesome choices you really can’t go wrong with any of those they are all rare..
Great guess on the band it’s neither the song or band
@@What.its.like. Can't say I didn't try.
Eagles, I can't tell you why?
Yeah buddy that’s the one somebody just beat you for title
Great! Now here is a car that I had no idea existed until I saw this video, and something different to lust after. Oh, and my son’s name is Chandler.
That’s awesome did you name him Chandler after friends.. =)
@@What.its.like.
Actually, we did!!
Awesome my wife was saying something about a fact that she would love to have a boy and name him Chandler but somebody else in the family already did that lol
WYR, Chandler for both.
Also, an idea I just had.... when you show the HP and torque, it would be great if you could benchmark it against an average for the time, or a well known car/truck of the time like Ford or something similar. In other words, give the specs a comparison of the times.
Love your videos. Thanks a bunch!
Yeah I’ll look into that thank you so much for the tip/ Suggestion
Great choices
Glad you dig this channel =)
How very interesting, a lovely car made by a brand I’ve never heard of before!
Why do veteran cars always seem to have 3 horns? I’ve noticed that a lot from the cars you’ve featured from Greenfield Park.
Veteran cars seem to have more of everything not just horns but that’s a really interesting question
Just to help you out, Napier is pronounced like nay-peer.
A automobile and engine maker from the U.K. that branched out into the U.S.
I believe they went out of business by 1915.
Thank you so much =)
Chandler
=)
Jay thanks again for a great video. How do I reach you about your cabinets I really want one

Email me and we can go from there
What_its_like@yahoo.com
I have a yahoo account because I hate email google tracks every single thing that you do and that’s why I have yahoo lol
1923 Chandler, obviously!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Sweet =)
I didn't notice that you are 6 feet 2! People were shorter back then. People are shorter NOW. Average male height is 5 feet 10 inches.
When we go to Hershey I’ll definitely show what I look like in the back of the vehicles if I get in the backseat are used to do that at Classic Automall it’s weird doing it at car shows it’s like you’re doing it for an audience..
So, as the historian that you are…..how did all these men manage to start up all of the car companies? On top of that they actually sold a whole lot of cars. It boggles my mind.
I honestly think it was easier they didn’t have as much bullshit back then..
I honestly don’t really care for the time. We live in there’s too much bullshit.. you know me I just get stuff done.. people have way too many excuses not to do things now I don’t know maybe it’s just me but that’s why I think a lot of people don’t do it now and it cost so much money.
If somebody wanted to build a factory they just went and build a factory.. not sure if there was building permits but I’m sure it was just easier.. hell my grandpa had his own air plane and runway at the farm.. my grandparents were not well off either but regulation killed that.
Such a good point! I guess there was such a demand that they could fill some niche. Closer to our time--I was thinking about how many different PC startup companies there were, and then they were eventually windowed out. There were computer magazines with hundreds of them.
@@What.its.like. your right about the legal stuff…..they just went and did it. Still, I think you said in this video they sold 16,000…..like that is amazing for a start up company! Love the story about your grandfather and having a plane and runway on his farm. Very cool!
So many people want to set out a plan for everything I’m not a planner.. i’m a loose cannon, even in life I don’t really make plans because if you make plans and then things don’t go according to plan you’re upset. Because the plans just never happened I don’t get me wrong I do plan for a couple things like I’m going to Hershey in a week and I’ve been planning that but if the car breaks before hand then plans are out the window..
I like just doing things, people often ask me how I’m able to do so much in a day and I think that’s why I don’t plan, I do =)
One way to start a new company was by building an assembled car. That means buying all the parts from specialists and assembling them into a car. There were companies that specialized in motors, transmissions, axles, frames, bodies etc. You could order the parts and put them together, the way you can put together a computer out of parts today.
Ned Jordan started up a new company to make a car called Jordan. The chassis, motor, etc were quite conventional but the bodies were copied off the latest custom built designs, and he specified the most expensive upholstery material, gauges, and accessories. So he could sell what appeared to be the latest custom style car for a bargain price. His first model was called the Playboy. He sold 1000 cars, made a $1000 on each one, and therefore made a million dollars in profits.
He said he did this with an assembly line only 50 feet long.
