- Come along as we check out our 1952 Chevrolet Styleline Deluxe Coupe ICON Derelict! We originally finished this car in 2012, but didn't have time to make a video on it until it came back into the shop this past week!

I love the upholstery and that Tach/clock is genius!
Thumbs up except for the tach clock. Great engineering, but unnecessary as Mr Ward says early in the description.
When I hit the lotto you're one of my first calls.
I was literally telling a coworker this today!
Same here, and I want the Hudson.
Same here
Yea who needs Lamborghini when you can have a REAL car! Hahahaha I would have him build my grandfathers 1960 Suburban for sure
id like to work for him
That interior leather is as cool as the story behind it. Another amazing build, sir. Derelicts are my favorites.
Hey, those animal skins you used have quite a " wild ride ", so to speak.
This one is my favourite of all👏🏽👍👌
You da man Jonathan Ward, what you do is one of a kind
Thank you for making these down to earth videos, no bullshit and drama! Love the derelict cars.
I can't thank you enough for taking these older vehicles and making them all they can be. My wife and I wish that the manufacturers would make cars look like the older cars but with all the modern hardware. What you're doing is so precious. What is it that draws us to old iron? There's a feeling you get in an old car that you cannot get in something new. New is great, but old satisfies something inside us that I can't quite put my finger on. Of all the vehicles you've done there's not one that that I don't absolutely adore. Thank you again Jonathan and may you continue for many more years.
Awesome! Interior is beautiful! Love the video! 1952 , year I was born! Thanks for posting!
I loved this video. When I was 6, my father took me to a Chevy dealer to show me the new car he was buying for my mother. He let me pick the colors and I selected cream over dark blue, which wasn't available. But since the dealer was our neighbor and friend, he got it special ordered and we had it from 1952 until 1960. Loved seeing the 1952 Chevy again; in any color. I just regret I was never old enough to drive it.
Just an amazing build! The way things were re-purposed, just outstanding!! Awesome!!
Awesome job! The patina is killer. I totally agree with replacing the steering wheel with a 50's model. The car is just great.
I have a 52 4 door that was my wife's grandmother's. I wish I had a shop to do the same things you do to it. How amazing. One I might just have to pay you to do it all so my family can enjoy it!
That license plate, "JUNK" is perfect.
BARF would be better.
@@wadeguidry6675 middle class pig huh?
Lovin' it! I am just finishing my 53 150 business coupe, patina, 20" painted steel wheels, low af, SBC 4L60 and recycled leather from eBay couches. Turned out great. Wish I could add a picture to comments. Keep up the inspirational work.
Cheers. Wade, New Zealand.
Auto double tap windows would be excellent. It adds to the exerpeince. Think you've just come off the highway and you want to open the windows for some fresh air. Bam they all go down. To anyone watching it would also just look amazing in a car like that and clue them into the fact that this is no ordinary chevy.
I don't know man, minimalist approach. The car is quite perfect the way it is.
The attention to detail is always amazing. Beautiful work 👍
Great job! I’m absolutely blown away at your ideas for car restorations, and your videos are just perfect. I feel like I’ve actually seen the cars.
Happy Birthday Jon!
I love all your work. Each piece is a kinetic sculpture. Thank you for sharing.
I love this guys work and skillset. One never gets tired of watching. Keep the videos coming.
Talking about your pursued interest in leatherwork speaks to me like your automotive work. I had watched videos and geeked out about it but I hadn't geeked out on it myself.. You put a lot of work and mindset into what you do and even though the end result is so clean and simple looking the details are astounding. Props
Love the tach. Great video.
This is one of the few ICON Derelict that I truly adore! Great job!
I would be honored and thrilled everyday driving this car as my daily driver.
Goddamn. Hands down my favorite builder now.
I could watch Mr Ward’s videos endlessly. Fantasy cars for sure. Custom is the game.
You can never go wrong with dual Power window switches...no matter the size of the vehicle. I say Go For It!!!
I found a similar car in a heated garage in Brooklyn, NY a few years ago! Great story. I was honored to be part of pulling the car out and getting it back on the road. The car was parked for 30 + yrs and was a time capsule! It still had the bias tires and all I did was add air to them to get the car loaded on and off the trailer! Love these cars and what you are doing!
Another fantastic ICON derelict build. Great job!!! Two items I would add to your list. 1) Full LED lighting updates inside and out. 2) Update the tach clock face with proper tach numbering, use the second hand as the rpm indicator and the hour hand as an adjustable red line limit indicator.
Utterly gorgeous.
Thanks for posting, I am snd Greensboro NC and currently completing a commission build of a 1954 Chevy 210. The car was completely rebuilt except for interior by North Carolina MASTER CAR BUILDER Mr Austin Cargal . Part of KCxtreme Machine located in Greensboro NC. Will be posting soon.
Awesome video! I LOVE that car!!! Huge fan of your Derelict line.
We love your videos. The cars are amazing. God bless.
Yet another one of my favorites that I have watched several times. Good viewing while I practice my hobby of model building. (Jonathan isn t the only geek on the planet.) Build and film a new Derelict please.
I’m so glad you did this video. That alligator interior is crazy awesome.
Great job Johnny!!! I'm an old guy born before this car was... it's great to see someone with your passion and skill resurrecting old stuff !! Rat On! jp
Amazing! One of my all time favourite fifties cars made even better.
Love what you do with the Derelicts, love the vids! Thank's!!
that tac clock is amazing , your a genius.
*you’re. 🙄 dope.
Service NJ *tach. Super dope.
Your shop is one of if not the best. The way you stay true to the original is incredible. Wish I had the funds to drop a car off and pick it up all old but actually new. Keep them coming.
That was up for sale not too long ago. Lucky son-of-a-gun whoever came on with that. Lifetime car.
I absolutely love what you do, so innovative and subtle.
+1. .. Terrific! .. That alligator source circumstance you can't make-up. .. You hit the trifecta! .. Beautiful artistry & superior craftsmanship.
Wow....what an amazing interior! Yes, the upgrades sound fabulous so glad you’re able to share this would have been a shame to miss this one , Johnny....lol. Sorry couldn’t resist...
I'm sure that this is at least my 3rd time watching this video. Mainly because this car is one of my all time favorite classic American iron. And the Derelict line is by far exactly how I would want a car done. True genius. That interior is killer. I have enjoyed watching your "brand" grow. Much continued success. Y'all must love going to work every day. It shows in your product.
Some fellows down here chopped the roof by 2" and channeled the body by 3" knee high center line. One of the most beautiful jobs I've ever had the pleasure to see! Corvette running gear and suspension!
Mr. Ward that's a beautiful car, thanks for sharing!
The 52 Chevy Deluxe was the best car my father ever owned.....bought it used from a widow who did not drive for $300. I would still have it today if it had not been totaled in a wreck my dad had in the mid 60's....The hood ornament went on our old 1950 Chevy pickup....when I gave the truck away to a friend, I kept the hood ornament.....may ind up on my 1976 Chevy POST yet.....
Best regards, Dr. Jonathan, allow me to congratulate you for such a beautiful job done and what I wanted was to give you and your company my opinion with great respect on the subject of patina, since being an old vehicle does not honor a better appearance as in its glory days or at least so that it does not attract the attention of thieves if it is to justify the patina of worn, old and rusty effect.
Looks spot on. Perfectionism on the little details make these cars stand above the rest. Like the flat cap too. Very Yorkshire. I approve.
This is so awsome. I'm hoping to do the same thing with my 61 GMC. The interior touches are just epic.
Jonathan, I would love one of these! You do incredible work!
Hell son, it should simply have a tube AM and let the owner plug his smartphone into the speaker system. Brought back a lot of fond memories. This was one of the family cars my folks had when I was a kid in the 50's. No A/C though, but not really a downside. It made country drives a buffet of sounds, sights and smells, all that are lost to cocooned passengers of today - - - which, I guess, is why the dog and I ride around in the F150 with the windows down even in the Florida summer. Though most of your upgrades aren't to my taste you nonetheless did a fine job and I do rather envy your client's pockets. Still, I have the memories.
One thing I especially like is the original clock that's been repurposed as a tach - with the little hand acting as the redline :D THAT is cool.
you guys really do some outrageous things to these cars. just love it.
Another Amazing automobile ! If I ever win the Lottery I will be Personally looking you up ! Take care and keep on doing what you do best ! Enjoy the videos to the max !
Love the details. Well exicuted!
I LOVE this build!!! The car is one of my very favorite cars.
Me, I would want it louder, not nasty, but maybe period correct louder. Great job!!!
Nothing but love and amazing craftsmanship
Jonathan,
I'm 66. I gave "my mother her kicks on Rt 66" in a '51 Chevy fastback.
I was born in Pasadena.
I'd like to thank the Rolling Stones for making that song famous. They probably didn't write it.
My Mother died probably 20 years ago. I'm a Grandpa. I just LOVE to say, "I gave my mother her kicks on Rt66."
(I was concieved in Southern Illinois).

I would love to work for this company. Even just sweeping the floors. You can see the pasión the put in their projects. Beautiful.
Loved this video and the history of the old chevy.
It's the stance of the car that grabs me. And the upholstery is unforgettable.
I always enjoy your vids. Nice work. Love that patina on that car.
Love your work Jon n team!
Jonny, Every time you post a new video my productivity at work goes down exponentially so thanks. Awesome car and video by the way!
That's a beautiful car and I love the way you've done it. It's classy and looks reserved but I can hear the note of a big donk pushing it along. excelent work.
I just started watching your videos. The derelicts are nothing short of amazing. I'm old enough I saw a few of the models you rebuild on the roads when I was a kid. When was the last time most people saw old iron like this on the roads when there wasn't a car show going on? Yes, back in the 60s, most of them were gone before that dacade faded out.
I love the car and your glasses.
Thank you for sharing another beautiful car
Love it! Been waiting a while for another Derelict. Can't wait for the electric 49' Merc
Brandon Ford Dude its like a wet dream :) I dont think any patina mercs survived so long....
Saw it at SEMA it's an amazing car.
My mom would go ape if I could find a 49 mercury coup. My dad had 1 as his race car. As luck would have it the only car on the property that would start was the Merc. He blew the doors off of a police car going through town to the hospital. But the officer was understanding he sat down in the waiting room with my dad and told him if it is a boy all is forgiven. If not I hope you have bail money in your pocket. LOL
@@nooranik21 the 49 Merc is finished?
@@brandonford4474 Not sure if it is "finished," but it was shown at SEMA and Ward did a meet and greet with it. He talked about it like it was finished, but now that I think about it he never said anything about driving it, at least when I talked to him.
The interior leather choice and workmanship is WOW !!!
LIKE? LIKE? How the hell could anyone like this? I absolutely LOVE it.
Saw that Tacho/Tacky pun coming from a mile away. Beautiful Car!
Awesomes ride.I love how you merge new technology and make it have the feel and look of old school swag. Maybe a under dash flip down backup camera.
I'm not a big fan of modifying old cars with new parts but you didn't awesome job with the Chris-Craft vents that's pure genius along with the radio speaker,,.. beautiful job
Another great build.
Very nice. I hope to one day be able to be a customer of yours.
Just plain gorgeous. She's a beaut! Excellently well done, as always. Can't think of any other mods than the ones you mentioned - of course, I don't have the creative gene! I've always envied you folks who do.....
I agree the steering wheel and the audio have got to go otherwise, perfect build as usual. Some suggested additions (since you asked): hydro-boost brakes, supercharger, update the headliner (I don't feel the headliner flows with the rest of the interior style), wider but still nicely tucked tires.
Jody Newell I agree with ya. That headliner is wrong.
I looked at it alot during the video, it really needs to match up better
I liked the plain headliner, perfect for a derelict. Sorry I think the wheels are spot on, this is disguised as a derelict. If you want fat tires and such get a billet car.
@@rondyechannel1399 lol he asked for an opinion, I gave one. Thanks for playing.
The 52-54 chevy has always been a favorite of mine,so glad almost every one else wants a tri-5 body style that makes these much cooler in my humble opinion. Although Icon doing one is awesome I hope that doesn’t mean they all get snapped up and price goes the same way! Love what you guys do at Icon unfortunately most of the vehicles cost more than the house I own! But the work/quality is second to none!
All LED lighting inside and outside 👍
That is one amazing '52! The only thing I would change is the name on the title... :)
Love it as always. I should be getting some sleep, but when I saw a new derelict video, I had to take some time out of my day.
Hard to say that car is absolutely great as is thanks for what you do
The double tap for the windows sounds great
I like...I like...I like!!! Keep doing what you do best!!!
thank you for the follow up on this really cool gm gem!!
Will we see the changes before the car heads back to the client?
I just saw your 49 Mercury EV conversion collaboration on Rich Rebuilds Channel. I immediately subscribed to your channel and Stealth EV. That is an inspiring car and a gift to the world. Thank you!
Amazing car as always!
Love this company's work
Hello. The car looks perfect. Beautiful patina on it with no rust holes which I hate. The interior is awesome too. I would be proud driving it everyday. I really like it.
Automotive Artistry as always.
I first saw this guy on Jay Lenos web series so I had to look him up
Love your ideas for the updates. Definitely update the window cranks and the steering wheel!
I always thought it would be cool to put LEDs in the wheel wells, engine bay, and under the car for maintenance and car shows, and just generally showing it off. Love the car. Great job!
LS9 or Electric as the '49 Merc, IRS rear end, power windows as you said, and get rid of the plastic on any of the knobs or anywhere. Thanks, love your work and hope to see more of it!
In 1954 my parents got rid of our 33 Chevy and got a 52 Chevy coupe. Would sure like to have it now.
