Back in the day they made some really pretty car's and truck's I enjoyed looking at all of them thanks for sharing
You're welcome. Glad you liked it!
That '47 Chrysler Woodie has to be my all-time favorite of the era. Such styling and class. NOTHING made today can even come close to these old classics. At 38:49, my heart almost skipped a beat! I absolutely LOVE that car! I learned to drive on a '58 Buick Special, which is what that car is. The special was the only one of three models that had the "shovel" chrome. The Century and Roadmaster were different but still awesome cars! If I had the time left and the money, I would pay anything for that car! My task for the benefit of being able to drive that car was to keep it washed and waxed. Those little chrome squares were a royal pain to clean and polish! With the Dynaflow transmission that car was slow off the line but once you got it going it would really take command of the highway. Thanks, guys, for showing this.
I love those 58s! I remember back in high school there were two side by side in an elderly man's yard. They are incredible cars that look like nothing else. One day they were gone. I have no idea what happened to them. There is nothing like a 58 Buick.
You've made my day with all these beautiful cars. They knew how to make a 🚗 then. Thanks😊
Glad you liked it!
I am an American expat who has lived in Denmark for many many years. Danes are wild about classic cars. In our younger days my Danish wife and I drove from one end of this little country to the other many times. From Copenhagen to Skagen and back again and many times from Aarhus in Denmark to Flensborg in Germany. Many many road trips. One of the delights of these road trips were the many classic car clubs and their members who, especially in the summer months, would cruise as a group in their precious antiques. Innumerable times out on the road we would be passed by a literal parade of beautiful old cars. I saw more old beauties on wheels in this way than I have ever seen in my life otherwise. And I have visited a few car museums in my time. Now that we have trouble getting out and about so frequently I look on youtube and it was a delight to see your video today, thanks.
You're welcome Jack. I am happy you liked the video. More to come.
The dice are often made of mohair. Many hotrods in the late 50s through the 60s hung them from the rear view mirrors.
Beautiful Cars!
I’ve SEEN THE FLYING NUN! A VERY YOUNG SALLY FIELD!!
I LOVE THE 4 wheel drive woodie the 50 Merc ! & that ooh !! & that! & that!! & that NASH WOODIE!! 👍👍👍👍‼️‼️
OK OK‼️‼️IVE GOT TO GO THERE!! GORGEOUS WOODIES!! & ANOTHER 1948 TUCKER( the Inventor!!)
I’m going to Hamlins first! THEN OFF TO ARUNDEL!!
omg, that museum would have to have the most beautiful cars ever!
Great video and museum. LaSalle was Cadillac's "companion" make, a car for those whose finances couldn't (yet) stretch to Cadillac. They were made from 1927 through 1940.
Thanks John!
Amazing collection of Woodies❤❤❤
Right, the best I have ever seen. Incredible.
Wonderful video , thanks for the videos . I'm a bug fan of yours !
Thanks Nick!
It is NOT a Mercury by Lincoln, it is a Monarch, by Ford.
The big mustachioed grump is "Old Bill", a cartoon character of a WWI British soldier that was very popular with the troops, and inspired a theatre piece, movie and radiator mascot (shown
Thanks for the info. Amazing to see a couple of examples in small town Maine.
The red Mustang Convertible had the pony seat option and the radio was part of the package. Great video. They are also a car dealer.
Glad you liked it. Thanks for watching.
That is a very modern, aftermarket radio, not original equipment.
@@danielulz1640 I can assure that that radio is original equipment to a pony interior Mustang. I had one.
@@NativeMainer53 no way that is an original Philco Ford radio, look again. That is a modern radio with connectivity. I should know since I was one of the people who saw the new Mustang on introduction day and years later was a Ford parts man. Was your Mustang new from the Ford dealership? If not, then a previous owner had already " upgraded" the radio. Also, a radio was not part of the "Pony" interior, it was a separate and stand alone option.
32:16..Wow, a '58 Packard...those are pretty rare..last year for Packard....made only 1200 of those(the 4 door sedan version)..made only 675 Coupes, 588 Hawk Coupes, and 159 Wagons that year...
The really cool thing about that '48 Nash was all that foot room AND the 'suicide' opening style rear doors making entry to the rear seat area much easier that if the doors opened like the front. She mentions "you could live in the car,," Actually she's almost correct if you were traveling cross country because finding a 'motel' was not so easy,, they were few and far between. Many times you needed to just pull over, make arrangements on who would sleep where and sleep in the car. I was born 1947, my brother 1949 and sis 1950. My Dad was in the Air Force. Three times he needed to travel coast to coast in a hurry so taking time to find a hotel simply wasn't in the cards,, not to mention the cost,, my Dad was an enlisted man and wasn't paid very much so they had no money for hotels. We drove straight thru with my folks switching off driving duties and stopping only for gas and to refill their thermos. Eating was sandwiches made by our Mom in the front seat. The first time we traveled coast to coast (Bartow aFB, Florida to Castle AFB, Ca.) was 1954 in a '49 Ford 2 door. There were three of we kids that trip, my brother was 15 months younger than I and he slept on the rear seat,, I slept in the rear footwells (yes,, the driveline tunnel was a real pain), my little sis 15 months younger than my brother) slept lying on the shelf by the rear window. The second time was 1959 my Dad was transferred from Castle AFB to Dover AFB, Delaware. We made that trip in a 1957 Plymouth Sport Suburban station wagon which made a much better ride for we kids. By now we had another sister,, yes,, there were four of us kids. We'd fold the seats down at night making the entire rear of the car on one level,, easy to sleep. Again we drove straight thru. The last time we made a coast to coast was 1965. My folks had a '64 Mercury Montclair 4 door sedan and again we drove straight thru. I was 18, my brother 16, my sister 15 and our little sister was 7. She slept lying on that shelf by the rear window, my brother and sister made do as best they could in the rear seat. I,, just as I did when a little guy, folded my 5' 11", 165lbs into a wad and slept in the rear footwells. The folks did as best they could in the front seat. Some of those old 'woodies' were made for familys.
Wow! Thanks for sharing! I could imagine it, while reading. Sounds completely unsafe but cool at the same time😄 I must be old fashioned because I still pack us snacks and lunch when we hit the road. I'm completely okay with that 👍
Fantastic collection. I wish you could comment more about each car - features and oddities.
Looking back we should have spent more time there. Next time! Thanks for watching.
Gee our old La Salle Ran Great - Songs that made the hit Parade, Folks like us, we had it made,
Those were the days.
I was thinking Wells or Owl's Head but it's Motorland Arundel ME
Right. I have been to Owls Head any years ago for the antique truck convention. It is good!
14:42...That Messerschmitt has a side opening "canopy", just like a Bf/ME-109!... :)
It is a wild car.
19:00 outside in the back, that is an Amphicar Schwimmwagen from Germany
The Blue Car at 35:40 looks a little like a Facel Vega.
It's not. But it could be European. Though I rather think it's a custom I've seen on the cover of a '50s Hop-Up magazine.
Unreal condition...all of them.
Right on. Thanks for watching.
I haven't been in this museum but I do remember visiting a car museum in Wells Maine.
I think I went to the one in Wells many years go.
Get Smart and the Saint's car to 60's TV show cars side by side
Pretty sure Maxwell Smart had a Volvo P-1800 in white as well.
Good job with the camera
Thanks Fred!
The '60 Bel Air is nice, in spite of it being a 4 door sedan, and spite of it having those horrible looking oversize wheels on it..thankfully, and refreshingly, most of the cars at this museum seem to be lacking of current "fad" modifications....
20:52..a 1938 BMW?(you can tell I am a WW2 history enthusiast)..wow, that was probably owned/driven by some important NSDAP member..I wonder what the history is of it?...and the Mercedes, also!...
FIAT (Feed an Italian Another Thousand)
Worked at an import repair shop, the boss said it stood for Fix It Again Tony!
Have you guys been to the Founders day car show in South Paris Maine? It has a Tucker there also!
Not yet, but if it has a Tucker it must be good.
Duesenberg's, a chitty Chitty bang bang movie car, an early 1900's Indy car, The first Oldsmobile and many others! Amazing show! One day only.
Back glass looks like 65 barrucuda
Great job on the tour of this cool museum!! Where is it located in Maine?
It is in Arundel, a small town near Saco.
Why didn't you show the bikes? Some of us might have been interested in them as well.
It would be nice to know what town or city the museum is in. I know you utter the name at the beginning of the video, but it is not understandable with your audio.
Arundel Maine. It doesn't sound well in person either. Thanks for watching.
Measure Smith? 😉
Never seen a studabaker 41:28
Great video! Thought you might enjoy this video that pays some homage to the Tucker. On the outfits, see if you can guess the make, model, year and locations on each car from which the brightwork was taken from.

I wish you would have stood back a little more when filming this, you're too close to see the cars properly
Thanks for the feedback. Will do that next time.
Interesting but not my favorite. Stay safe.
WERE IS THE CAR THAT IS IN YOUR THUMB NAIL???😡
Right??? That Chrysler show car is one of the best ones there!!!
Not a fan of the better-than-original bodywork and paint, I prefer period original, not faked custom.
Yes, but over-restoration is much better than butchery where they gut an old car and fill it with modern components and "fad" stuff, like fake patina, slammed, huge wheels, modern drivetrains and interiors, etc...IMHO, they don't really represent an old car anymore like that. Original, they give you an idea what they looked like when new, what they are supposed to look at...
@@dyer2cycle I am entitled to my opinion
@@walkertongdee ?..I was for the most part agreeing with your opinion.. ??
Thats not a great color for that Ferrari in my
So you put the yellow car on the front pic of the video then just leave it without talking about it? wth? boo hiss Click bait 😒
That isn't accurate. While we were filming the museum staff were setting up for a fashion show and moved the car before we had a chance to spend time on it.
@@morewhattherust So if you're not going to show that vehicle then don't use it as the click bait on the cover! Be ACCURATE!
@@morewhattherust But still, that's an important 1 of 1 Chrysler show car!
Anyway, I think the blue car might be a custom I've seen on the cover of a '50s Hop-Up magazine. Could be wrong. Great video, yessuh!
Kinda thought you sounded like a Maine-iac in a previous vdeo. Portland here. You sound a bit like a Windham-Italian, haha.
@@UberLummox Close, just a little bit North West.
