Fun fact, my grandmother (who was a teenager in the 50’s) would unscrew the Speedometer cable and take the family car out for a joyride. This is because unscrewing the speedometer also would prevent the odometer for moving in that car. She’d come home and my great-grandparents would never know the car left.
This is the same grandmother who, in a conservative part of the country where women were not expected to drive, drove a 1970 Plymouth roadrunner 85 in a 30.
Hoovie: "I'm not a Ford guy" Also Hoovie: "panther platform is one of the best of all time" Still Hoovie: "excursion is greatest SUV ever made" Hoovie, don't fight it, it's ok to like Ford.
Please, please be gentle with the mods!!! Nothing against minor technical improvements like a 12V conversion, modern brakes, seat belts and a bit more engine performance - but please don't chop or lower it!
Makes you wonder if there's going to be a market to un-chop cars. It would require a lot of custom fabrication but you could charge a premium especially for rarer cars that are mostly rodded.
I couldn't agree more. Nothing pisses me off more than these clowns like Chip Foose, Jesse James etc that take a real nice original or restored classic and butcher it into some stupid resto mod. These guys should just take rough cars that need rescuing for custom work.
It's like vanilla ice cream...it's a good classic flavor that doesn"t need a twist or sprinkles to make it taste better...because it's fukn' vanilla ice cream. Just serve it, leave it alone. Still vanilla and still good 20 years from now when they start serving ice cream on Mars.

I lived in two houses built before the age of plastic and both still stand. One was primarily a bare metal build (with ceramic insulators at junctions) and one was primarily an asbestos weave. If we used this stuff responsibly we could fix many things... certainly floors and ceiling tiles that can catch on fire would no longer be something to worry over.
chris younts This is such a cringe take. Classic, all original cars like this are so much more important than your generic drag hot rod with a pricy engine worth more than the car.
Yay, Hoovie with vintage cars. I love it. It is great that you saved this beautiful car from being chopped. Please keep the car as original as possible.
Great car. I'm looking forward to seeing it sorted. My advice, unless money is no issue, don't go crazy on the "vintage hot rod" stuff. You may end up with WAY more problems. "If it ain't broke, dont fix it" is a real good motto in this case. As Always, May God Bless you and yours!
I mean, to be fair, the fords hes owned are all plausible to own by a non ford guy lol. Hell id love practically anything with a 7.3 idi in it or a classic stang. Plus 30s-60s fords didnt look bad but fuck anything made by ford nowadays cheap garbage
He's owned 4 Fords ... That's why he's not a Ford guy and finally learned his lesson. (Says a guy who owns a Ford Kuga with a potentially iffy transmission and then bought a brand new Kuga against his better judgement)
12:50 - is "cracks right over" a regional thing? I've never hear that expression before. I thought he said "cranks right over", but he said "cracks" at least twice.
What a great buy. I would keep that thing as original as possible Tyler. It's too nice to mess around with. The charm of classic cars is to experience them as they were in the day, flaws and all. You are driving history there. There are other ones that have already been modified that would be fun to play with but yours just seems like a time capsule that is perfect as it is (once repaired of course).
Congrats on 1 million subscribers can’t believe you came this far love the channels keep up the great work I’ve been here since 75K and the videos have just been getting better and better love the country Squire and all of your other cars keep up the great work
Thanks for showing the website for the throne chair. I've been teaching myself woodworking, and now I have a good source of inspiration for endless types of classy furniture.
My dad had a 1950 Ford Tudor that I consider my first car, I was born in 1953. I remember standing on the driver's seat and not being able to see beyond the door structure below the glass. Good cars! One day while my dad was in a store I pushed the little starter button. Thank God the engine did not start though the car kicked against the curb. The flathead V8 was like the Apollo Moon Mission at Ford, there is a great period documentary on its creation.
As a millenial, I say beautiful and unique car Hoovie. Side note: I love how Wizard is looking at Italian renaissance thrones now from Cesnas! I hope you get if fixed though. I love it!!
“All you Boomers” I’m 24, grew up rebuilding street rods with my parents and this is definitely one of my favorite purchases of yours!!! This millennial probably got more excited for this Woody than a lot of boomers did lol
The video I didn't know I wanted , but I am glad you made it ! It's so refreshing to get a history lesson and see the old ways of doing things while all the constant Corvette uploads and wrapping Lambos other youtubers do gets old and redundant . I also love that everyone thinks push button start is cool and modern but its really an old old idea lol
I remember Uncle Elmer had a similar vehicle. Don't know the year. But, I do remember driving it in the hay fields as a young lad. It was when you showed the start button & gear shift knob, that the memories all came back. I must have been 11 or 12 years old.
Thing is, those buyers are dwindling. With the covid recession incoming, loads of cars are going to be sold on the cheap. The problem is flipping them without getting totally hosed. He's gonna have to actually make videos with a few of them now.
Nice old woodie, need some tapes of the Beach Boys, couple of surfboards in the back.Nice old cruiser! Wiring is currently dangerous, car wizard David will sort everything out. Plenty of hop bits for the flattie, although they are a bit expensive these days.

That was a fun fact.
I wanna see more classic old cars that I have never heard of rather than the lambos that everyone already knows about.
Same
Agreed. Can't wait to see what Hoovie does with the hotrod stuff!
🦻 please
Lambos scream douchebag.
Agreed! Hoovie needs to get some British classic cars, such as an MG, Mini, Morris Minor and maybe a Jaguar.
I like how Johnny instantly said 'SURE!' when asked to put tires on it. He's just happy to work on cars. Nice guy.
Dude if the world could be half as happy as Johnny comes across as, we'd all be in a great place
@@matt_b... I'd settle just for my garage to have a Johnny.
I love the open relationship Hoovie has with his two mechanics.
all because the car wizard hates bmws and refuses to work on them saying they break too much lol
Hype Tempo and Johnny sees this and says “Why is it here” lol perfect dynamic
One day we'll see a video titled "2 mechanics, 1 beemer" although he may have to post it on his only fans site though lmso

Nothing against minor technical improvements like a 12V conversion, modern brakes, seat belts and a bit more engine performance - but please don't chop or lower it!
Sounds like he wants to save it like it is.
Will probably do something with the exhaust to make it rumble just a little bit from that V8
No Troll - absolutely agree.
I don't think he has the budget for all that.
I also really hope he keeps the original radio
I’m an millennial and I’d rather see more classics like this than any exotic on Hoovies Garage.
Same here
Me too, I went and got a 1939 LaSalle...way more interesting
I'm with you. These exotic cars are so pointless. These old cars were built to last and have way more character.
Agreed I absolutely love classics
Same here!

Not expensive nor difficult
It's cheaper to source modern 12v stuff

Hoovie. That's the most beautiful car you ever had on the channel. A million subs looks good on you.
"This is a dream car for me" says man who usually sells them after a couple months.
Unlike his other stuff this one will be worth more when he's done, a lot more.
He's yet to sell it so it's a bit hard to say that.
So often dreams turn into nightmares
I wish he still had his Imperial

remember these cars well as a kid, giving my age away, hope you make vids of this car so we can all follow the progression,, thanx mate good video
