- Finding old cars and trucks is always fun. I actually walked right past this old Buick the first time I visited this farmstead! I didn't even find it until I went back to start hauling some of the 20+ other vehicles that came from here!
This one was going to take some work! Justin has been hauling some cars and trucks for me and he was able to bring his skid steer over to dig this one out. I'm not sure how I would have gotten this one out without equipment!!!
Let's go dig it out and take a look at it!!!
If you like old cars, trucks, and automobilia, be sure to check out all of my other videos! Please subscribe so you can keep up with the new videos as I post them!
If you have questions about vehicles or parts, the only way to get a hold of me is to call me, 8 AM-8 PM CST, no texts, no e-mails, no messenger, no smoke signals, calls only. 620-786-4428
If I don’t answer, I’m probably on the phone with someone else and if you don’t leave me a message, I just assume you're another telemarketer trying to sell me an extended warranty! LOL!
I am not open to the public, so if you show up without calling and making an appointment, don't expect me to be available.
If you comment, message, text, e-mail, etc., don't expect me to find it and don't expect an answer. Thanks for watching, Chad 620-786-4428
Jennings Motor Sports would getter running... That Guy is a wizard.❤💯👏👍
yep some of the old cars I have seen him start I have looked at them and thought no way that will start an he gets them up and running sounding good he has a magic touch when it comes to old engines most guys would look at them and say no it won't go or start and give up lance never doe's the guy is amazing
@@krisdrinkwine6045 totally agree
You beat me to it.😃
Ah yes. The engine whisperer.
I came to say that also! Jennings would’ve started it and driven it out!
Aluminum crankcases and removable cast pairs of cylinders were typical on the higher end motors of that period. Also, I think you will find the internals of the motor still in decent shape. The dry climate, hood still covering the motor and also the fact that the exhaust and carb, all point down, water likely didn't get inside.
lets call Jennings motorsports and have him get the ole girl running !!😊😊
👍👍👍
"well we're gonna get er runnin" -jennings motor sports
It's good to see someone rescuing something other than a Ford.
Would this car be the oldest Buick Century?
Because of the shape of the cowl, I'd say it's a '17-'19, or possibly '20. Neat piece, and it's amazing how much is still left after all those decades exposed like that.
It is 1920,s the earlier teens Buick,s had exposed cage valves pushrods for easy oiling .the pinhead valves and valve covers were changes made for the 1920 and onwards ( I have 2 x 1923,s looks exactly the same model ).
I was expecting it to be reverently lowered into a restoration workshop! - but deposited into yet another field was disheartening 😮
My Great Uncle Art bought a new 1915 Buick from the local dealer. Awesome find.
Great car. worth restoration.
Always bring some old restaurant trays ,cars slide well on those
You should maybe sharpen that chainsaw abit, looked kinda funny how you still had to "saw" with it while giving it full throttle LOL
Very cool project for someone as she is very complete for something of that era. She was probably used as the old farmer’s farm truck for a while after 1932. It looks like he kept his fence repair equipment in her for a while rather than cutting off the body and putting a flat bed on her for hauling hay. Check the tires and see if any are dated post-war. Farmers got extra gasoline rations for farm equipment. There might be something like a Western Auto component or package that might date her last retirement.
Get Justin to sharpen your saw . 🤣
I would have immediately removed those headlight lenses and stashed them in something wrapped in soft towels. Those are original pink glass lenses. Worth more than that whole car unfortunately
Get in touch with the guy from Jennings Motorsports; bet he could get that engine running in no time!
You need to get Jennings Motor sports up there to get it running! 😄😄
Jennings motor sports might wanna try to fire that off!
I fell in love with the purple head lamps... Turned that way from sun exposure over the time sitting.. I noticed that the left hand side one is gone after traveling !!! I'm hoping that you got to save the pair !!???? Fell in love with them 😮
He tells you he saved the light and even shows you at 34:00
@Ken_James_SV oh great 👍 yea I got a bit disheartened seeing it being dragged out like that with the bobcat... Just me . Id be extremely careful with every piece of old wooden structure parts and wheels etc etc etc.... I'd be very slowly doing it like an archeologist 🙄🤣 LoL ... Just one of my quirks. I got disheartened and didn't watch the entire video. I'm going back now to watch it properly .
An arborist will explain and id the age of all the trees around this early 20s Buick that it has not been in that exact same spot since 32. Just because the last registration was in 32 doesn't mean it was suddenly parked in one spot and never moved around again for 93 years especially if it's been on a farm. Was likely used as a yard vehicle afterwards. That frame would be non existent sunk in the dirt 9 decades but it looked pretty solid. Even if it was a double boxed frame as in heavy duty trucks at the time, it would be in pieces. Speaking from vast experience, not just guessing. Estimated time in the spot? 1960s. Enjoyed the video.
Yeah those trees cant be more then atmost 40-50 years old.
The trees obviously weren't planted there by anyone, and didn't start growing the day the car was parked there, probably sat there for decades before those trees started growing
Watch the nice dry sand again when it dragged out .. I live in Massachusetts and have moved cars that have in fact sat 70 plus years and almost no rot on the frames I've also moved cars in the same yard that sat less than half that time and the cars literally broke in half so you can call it what you will . My point is some vehicles somehow withstand mother nature others don't .
I would have love to be part of that crew to be part of reclaiming the thrill! ( love dreaming)
About safety, he still here because the Great I’am is watch all his steps!
Amazing there's that much left!!!
I believe you have a 1920 Buick. I base that on the engine number and also the closer spaced louvers on the engine cover sides. hope this helps
Gives a new meaning to being held together with bailing wire and just fixing it with bailing wire lol ty for letting me share a little joke with you Matt AKA DDP be safe out there My friends and everybody yuuuuup
Chitty Chitty bang bang should look awesome once completed.
COOL. It can be restored
Like most cars of that period, the open touring body had a hardwood structural frame, or skeleton, with steel bracing. That piece you found inside and suggested might be part of the top system is actually an interior body brace that bolted to that wood structure.
What a great idea the piles of barbed wire is. While you're in control of the property no worries about theft. After you're gone you can look down and chuckle at pickers having to break a sweat. 😅
Congrats on the Buick find Chad.
Great video!
The clampets , might appreciate it. 😂😂😂😂
I think I read somewhere that the Clampett's truck was built for the TV show from parts of an old Buick car, a 1922 model, I think. I've heard that it still is preserved in a museum. When I was a young teenager in the early 1970s, I found and built a plastic model kit of the Beverly Hillbillies truck. Don't know what ever happened to it but probably was thrown away or given away when my parents moved while I was away in college.
Oldsmobile.
That Buick six has a welcome starter generator on it I got a 4 cylinder version with the same style starter generator on it
Now get it running and drive it home 😂
That’s crazy man. That’s a cool old car.
About the purple color on the head lamp glass I think I read a few years ago that it is like a patina that develops on very old glass that was manufactured by the bauch and lombe (sic) company that did make lenses for autos and is highly valued, might be a good idea to remove and secure them from breaking! The car is real cool too😊
Glad you saved the Beezel. Lmfaso.
Remember the commercial. This ain't your father's Oldsmobile?! Well this Buick was a great great grand p a p p y s. 😂
Good effort! Really enjoyed the video, almost felt involved!
Quite true, I was just about to give a hand moving the barbed wire.
Nice find the hedge row is a collection area the wire in it was put there so it didn’t get things growing through it for potential use again
Needs to go undercover, and slow restoration excellent video ....... Unfortunately there seems a lot of silly criticism personally I think you did well ( comment from England )
Man on the bobcat got skills. 👍
Cool find
Chad, I just stumbled across your Channel, enjoyed watching the retrieval of that old Buick! The engine/drivetrain and headlight lenses, as well as many body parts should be worth something! Cool old car find, I subscribed and look forward to more adventures!
It is definitely worth the total restoration and of course most of the parts and pieces would have to be made and remade and I'm sure the complete body and frame would have to be remade if I had the time placed and tools required to do the full on restoration and health I would do it just to say I did it and put it in a museum for others to injoy it yuuuuup
There’s enough sheet metal there to build a cool, hot rod. Engine looks complete, Be cool if somebody could get it started.
I think you should talk more about getting to work. Ha. Knew several guys good at that.
I have checked one '70s book from my collection, about early 1900s cars, and found a picture (size 6 1/2 " x 2 3/4 ") of a 1917 five-passenger Buick D-6-45 quite similar to yours, comprising the left-side view of the entire car, including both the windshield and the lowered top.
An original photo, probably from the manufacturer.
If it helps to send a copy, just let me know and how to reach you. I do not live in the USA.
Right guy,, she'll run 😅
Such a super find neat old car
Looks like the front on the Beverly Hill Billies truck similar grill shell
Send it to South Africa what you guys say is not restorable we restore that vehicle is worth saving
That's a Quagmire of barbedwire!!! GIGGIDY!!!
super ze to zachranujete
Thats provabley why the car remained in the area. No one could see it. The wire concealed the car.😊
Chitty Chitty Bang Bang.
That car should be restored.
Digging the early Ford COE on your logo! I have two 1939 Ford trucks.
In Silver Springs Maryland It had not been parked there 93 years ago but long enough for trees to grow and block it in both front and year. That I saw maybe 25 years ago, Judge model GTO.
Very cool find! You are absolutely correct that probably yard art is its greatest potential.
Now, HAVING SAID THAT, may I recommend something...
What if YOU had a frame/stand fabbed up to hold that Buick up by it's frame, & display it next to the shop/office on a small concrete pad(to place the stand), where its visible & somewhat secure??
It'd kind of cover 3 bases;
1 - In line with the name of the business, as nobody alive today drove it, maintained it, etc.
2 - Clearly auto parts connection, though now your earliest(perhaps).
3 - The Barton county connection, it never traveled any farther(shipping to end destination probably long distance it ever went).
Make a spot, prop it up, then spray it down with oil, or similar to give the display a fighting chance. Hell, maybe even a shed roof or gazebo type thing. This strikes me as a tremendous advertisement opportunity, which hopefully, would lead to other discoveries/business. (As in, if he drug THAT out, what we've got ain't that bad).
Just a thought.
Really Chad, GREAT VIDEO(both/all of you)!!
Yardart? why? its perfectly recreateable.
Vice grip garage, Derek would drive that home after 3 to 4 days. You will fix that in two weeks.
Mr. nobody - for me! I would put wheels on it and make it yard art, but !- IF you think, that you can get that rusty bucket running ,then ! May the force be with you!, because getting that Buick a second chance to drive down any road, to me, seems impossible, but! It's been done before, and you know what they say?- sometimes - miracles do happen!!- good luck!, because you are going to need it!😮
Those 1932 License plates are worth big money - better pull them off for safekeeping or the midnight auto parts guys will steal them. That speedometer is worth big money too. The engine is worth BIG MONEY, especially the Carbueator, generator, water pump, and distributor, so I would pull that whole engine and safeguard it, or the antique car parts guys from Stealth Five Finger Discount will pick that car clean. THAT BUICK is well worth restoration - I would not park it in the yard. I'd keep it in a secure building and offer the whole car for a set price. Do not part it out!
Great car
The engine numbers in cars of that era were unique to each car if memory is correct, it was kinda like the vin number, they never started using standard vins until the mid 50's. most cars of that era only had 1 option for a motor. in some states cars of that age, they use the engine number to title it today.
That's chitty chitty bang 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Was just about to write "Bobcat driver be smoking too much crack!!" when you said he been on it for an hour, lol!!!
That looked like the demountable tire rims which bolt on the outside of the wooden wheels.
The wood body framework, floorboards, running boards, etc. will be gone. Be careful the body doesn't just fall apart. Those wheels will probably fall apart when you start to move it around.
ohh my god man,,, lol,,, thats the dullest chainsaw ive ever seen. like cutting trees with a butterknife.
I was thinking the same thing, could stand a file.
Man, it would be really cool if on some of these.Vehicles you dragged in to have motors if you would try to do some will it runs on them
The purple coloured glass is normal for that era.
Unrelated comment, but you have an excellent video recording device.
That old sweater you're wearing looks like it might be as old as the car. It's got more holes in it than the old car.
That picture that I mentioned may be considered part of the Wilson World newspaper at the time it was still in existence
You forgot the piece of the lower windshield glass. It was right there next to it. Would have been good at least for comparison. And VERY doubtful that car was sitting since 32. More like 62 or 72 if that long.
You should ask , Jay Leno.
This makes me think the difference between this exercise and a Saudi going into town and buying a handfull of Bugatti Verons. They will never do this
I wonder if that's the original engine? According to what I've read, Buick's had exposed valve gear up to 1924.
you really need to put a new blade on that saw its near painful to watch and hear
Hey that's my wife serves two purposes hide your vehicle and it stops you from stealing it that's why the old timers use barbed wire over the car so nobody could steal it or recognize it
"Jughead" engine could be up to 1923
Jed clampett had one of those
Jeds was a Oldsmobile
There was a picture in the Ellsworth independent reporter of a old Buick and three men sitting in it on top of the river bridge Hill South of Wilson Kansas supposably it was the first car in that county I can't remember with Ellsworth Russell or Barton County is Right online and one of the men that were sitting in the car was the great-great-uncle of Mine by the name of Albert pirano he was a banker there was a there was an old Bank in Wilson that says Weber and piano and it still standing but they were sitting in an old Buick car the only thing that looks different to me is the badge on the front seems like there was a long a long piece that went in front of the radiator that said Buick and you can see it plain as day
The magnesium in those headlight lenses caused them to turn lavender over time.
You must collect old bottles
I have in the past @@garycousino
Those lenses are extremely collectible and valuable 😊
Not magnesium but manganese which became a critical element in the manufacture of high quality steel during world War 1 so a substitute was found to make glass that was clear which was why manganese was used previously.
I have a clock for an early buick like that I think for a 1916 .
I noticed there is a 1952 dodge truck front nose peice that I want to know if you would sell.
I'm gonna Cry cry cry cry 92 Years.
92 years we heard that
If you were to set this to music, I'd suggest the Ballad of Jed Clampett.
damn practically fell apart putting it on the trailer....
Absolutely.Amazing that there's any glass still on it.Whatsoever everything around here would be full of bullet holes
West Virginia?
That's what I thought
Looks like a 1915 phaeton
Parked there 92 years ago? I don’t think so it would of been rusted to bits and absorbed into the dirt. But it’s been there a Looooong time.
Dang need them doors
Hope you’re not paying the skid steer guy but the hour. He wastes more time messing around. Put the forks flat on the ground and push!
Its amazing to think that this car was worth nothing for decades...escaped war scrapping and many other people junking for money.
Love bringing back vintage vehicles. You don’t saw a chainsaw. Skid load operator no experience.
No that's a jalopy!
you need to sharpen you chain saw blade
Does this Car belongs to Dr George Wormley? Long story short someone might have pictures of it and it would ring a bell good luck 👍
Finally someone is using his brains.
Beverly Hillbillies recreation.
