I had a '53 Chevy on it's last legs and she still drove and ran smooth as silk.
I’m 17 and my grandpa let me buy his 1951 Chevy Styleline. And man I couldn’t be more happy. I am the luckiest kid in the world. These old ads make me wish so much that I was born in the 40’s or 50’s
Gm really needs to watch this and take a old fashioned lesson
Mary was not alive in the 50's, so she is clueless
It was okay
I love my GM cars... A 1988 Monte Carlo LS and a 1998 GMC YUKON SLT. The new GM cars... well, I prefer other brands. Oh, here near my house, a 1952 Chevy truck is still use to carry coffee beans from a plantation. Greetings
Wow! It's an analog diagnostics computer in 1950! As a kid in the 60's I remember the huge neon signs lit up at night over the garage bays. They were works of art like the cars that were rolling in and out of those garages. 👍🏻😉
Those motor analyzers were used and pretty much unchanged through the early 1990's. They got LED digital displays, a thing that printed measurement results on calculator tape, and maybe a system that displayed normal values for the model using plug-in cartridges, but other than that they were basically the same. California emissions laws in the 90's basically forced cars to have these measurements on-board and continually checking (OBD), which brings us to the modern-day code reader.
Thx this reinforced my hypothesis that women can’t drive and they only worry about the color of the car
US Auto Industry They the 1950's Chevys of this type Were Great and well Made Cars I had a 1949 Fleetline a 1952 Chevy Bel Air hardtop and a 1954 Chevy 210 and a 1950 Chevy Pickup they were so easy to work on I fixed just about anything on Them. Thanks for this post.
Cars we Drive now would never Take a beating they would Fall apart.
@@MidwestFarmToys If you barely bump in to something with a modern car it causes massive damage due to the cheap plastic bumpers and thin metal. The old cars like this can hit something pretty hard and not take much damage. Which modern cars are better in a lot of other ways but definitely not when it comes to durability in an impact.
@@MidwestFarmToys Its safer in a high speed crash yeah but even a minor collision causes massive damage to the car unlike a 1950 chevy or almost any car built in that time period
Back when mechanics cared about their job and not trying to sell you crap you dont need.
That day never existed, this is a commercial.
@@Pro1er those days did exist.
My dad had a 1950 Chevy that would go through mud, and, water deeper than the wheels. (the engine was protected from splash back by very large steel fender wells.)The car got 24 to 25 mpg overall. And the car weighed around 3200lbs. Straight six, 216 cubic inch 92 horsepower. And my father gave me the car. 3 speed on the column.
(edited for Chris Chilson).
Wow, 500 years before the printing press, and 800 years before crude oil was cracked, my great great great great great great... grandfather had an oxcart that could go about 2 mph...
True Story: in Miami, 2 Cubans drove a 1950 Buick Roadmaster from Havana to Marathon, their second crossing. Their first crossing of the Florida Straights was made in an Ford F100. US Customs scuttled the Ford...
This time they got to stay in America, the Buick is on display today in a Calle Ocho museum in Miami.
But 25 mpg out of a Chevy Thriftmaster Six? Some shit is just too tough to chew! ;))
Much better than this new junk on the road. If they ever make time machines, I would go back in time to this era, or a little before, get a job and a house, and never come back to this day and age.
+Jonathan VanVerdegem Yeah, good idea. When you get sick, you can also take advantage of the great medical technology of the 1950s.
Better than the zero care a lot of us are getting now with Comrade Chairman Obama and The Party's glorious revolutionary socialist people's Comrade Care.
Jonathan - if you DO go, take me with you, please!
Damn straight nothing like a little polio to toughen you up!
@@waterheaterservices Obama tried to give you something existing in civilized countries for more than a century, but ignorant US (utterly stupid) people say it is socialism, as said about its promoter, Otto von Bismarck in… 1885! You need a civilizer there but you got a narcissistic sociopathic clown.

Can you imagine going into a dealership today and them starting on your car immediately? They’ll tell you, bring it in a week from Friday. Then they’ll ask your name, because they certainly don’t know you. When they fix it, chances are it still won’t be right, and you’ll have to take it back again, after you make another appointment. And they’ll probably find something else wrong, and parts won’t be available for at least 2 weeks. In the end, you get your bill, always up in the hundreds of dollars. And it won’t be long, you’ll have to go back again, and the cycle starts over!
Ten Toyotas can be made from one of those Chevys !!! In areas where they don't slop salt on the roads, A 1950 Chevy could still be on the road with proper maintenance.
Great cars, I just finished rebuilding a 1950 Chevrolet for a customer and have those videos up here on RUclips, 1950 Chevrolet test drive. , parts 1 thru 6. Cars like these in the 40's, 50's and 60's were sturdily built, cheap to maintain - - keep good oil in them and grease them and they run a very long time and are cheap to fix. The new cars of today are just overpriced junk. Always something wrong with the lousy expensive to fix computers.
Nine years later but this couldn’t be farther from the truth. People get nostalgic about these old cars, I like them too. But, the reliability of new cars is 100x better than something from this era and that includes 100x more technology. No way you were going 10k miles or more without opening the hood on a 50’s Chevy and they definitely weren’t lasting 200k miles without engine work.
@@tombiondi9969 my oldsmobile of 1988 never had an oil change in 4 years and it stills run like new
I noticed Eric Fleming who later played on Rawhide as the mechanic at the garage.
Just what I was going to say! I recognized the voice.
Damn didn't even notice, a shame he died so young
@theflorgeormix I agree with your comments on the cars of yesteryear. But, the thing I am confused about is your mention of Leslie Nielson. The Chevrolet shop technician who checked 0ut the customers car was Eric Fleming who played Gil Favor on 'Rawhide'.
Shame America isn't like this anymore.
Acho o Chevrolet bela ir 1953 muito bonito!
Leslie Nielson...the 50's cars are sculptures on the road as well as the early 60's and 30's...I would suggest because of WWII the 40's styling somehow became more serious and functional, an Emotional reaction to the War, maybe.
In 1967 I was studying in class three, I saw the chevrolet 1952 model and Chevrolet Impala on Pakistan roads.
Oh nice Chevi collections....
I never knew Gil Favor was in the auto business before he started herding beeves!
Mechanics had it so easy back in the day
You want to work in those garages in 100F heat? I doubt it...
Paid cash. I found a receipt for service on my Mom's '51 Studebaker dated 1954, oil change, lube, tune-up, adjust the brakes, and changed the brushes in the generator for under $10.
10 dollars in 1954 is about 102.00 dollars today.
In 1959, the weeks groceries for 2+4 kids was $20.
@@GordoGambler $20 in 1959 is equivalent in purchasing power to about $191.03 today, an increase of $171.03 over 63 years. The dollar had an average inflation rate of 3.65% per year between 1959 and today, producing a cumulative price increase of 855.15%.
@@GordoGambler Mom told the story that in 1958 after she and Pop had scraped together the down payment for their first house, they had $8.00 between them for the rest of the month; this was early December. Pop went out to buy cigarettes.
@@shawnr771 and you would never get that amount of work with parts done for 102 bucks now.
“We guess-not test!” Ahahaha!
The same exact background music was used in 1960 in the Chevy "Corvair In Action" promotional video
Let's dig up Grandpa and Grandma and go for a ride...HA!
Later, a Japanese guy was found in the back sear taking notes.
OMG, the back sear ... I armost fell out of my chail !
Mr. Gleason whips it into reverse and the back up lights come on. Back up lights on a Chevy had to be a big deal back in 1950.....so was that Sun Engine Analyser.
I too remember when backup lights were a BIG DEAL.
My dad (in his small independent garage) had a Sun system. All those various leads to hook up, and there was a big oscilloscope where you had to read this big display of dancing lines, looked more like someone having their heart diagnosed.
Back then they used to put sawdust in the differential when they wanted to sell a wornout vehicle .... lotta fun
***** differentials are better dont need to
I heard bananas in the differential, too.
CHEVROLET SUPER SERVICE, I REALLY MISS IT !!!
My dad was one of the tune-up guys in Edmonton from 1948 to 1984, when the boss decided they needed young guys to do the "modern" cars. Still have the pic of the class of '48. Our GM cars all rusted to hell, same as everybody I guess.
He had a 2 door 1952 Chev without the vent rear window. So likely the base model. I still remember from 1959, we hitched up the homemade trailer and went to west Manitoba, then Yellowstone. The rad would always overheat going up the mountains. LOL. He would put a block of ice on the motor. Then I remember it leaked down into the heater duct. Was likely 82F also.
Much better better than todays cars! :D
No
@@manuel0578 yes
@@manuel0578 lol
Nowadays you take your Chevrolet to the dealership an it’s $189 just to hook it to the computer an then a couple thousand to fix the problem. Remember boy’s an girl’s,the problem is never covered by the warranty!
Last year I went on a trip and had a Chevy Cruze rental and driving down the highway I started singing that See The USA jingle. (And I'm not as Chevy or GM man). :)
No 'cruze' bullsh*t for those guys in our fifties Chevies...
Once all the cars in the shop are fixed, he yells, "HEAD 'EM UP! MOVE 'EM OUT!"
Eric Fleming!
Don't know if anybody is as old as I am, but maybe you recognized the shop technician Eric Fleming (Rawhide trail boss, *Gil Favor.* Opposite Clint Eastwood as Rowdy Yates.)
I didn't, but that's a _great_ piece of trivia ;-)
I am here watching this because of him, just love him! Rawhide is my favorite show!
Although I am much younger than you would expect :)
@@elsagilmartin6251 I didn't think that anyone would even know who I was talking about. We used to watch that show (Rawhide), every time it was on, back in the late 1950's ~ early 1960's.
@@RonRay Yeah, I love Rawhide, there is nothing on TV like it.
It’s clean, funny, and has some neat historical stuff in it.
And you can’t beat the Boss!
GIL FAVER from RAWHIDE!
Wow! An auto technician wearing dress shoes, slacks, and a white dress shirt with tie! I wonder what he wears on his time off?
This is rad. Orig owners. Fix n services cyl!
6 cyl
The technician looked like Eric Fleming who played Gil Favor on Rawhide
It is Eric Fleming! I'm here because I saw his picture on pinterest featuring him in this commercial!
Human beings always foul up a good thing. Cars in the late 40's and 50's were perfectly fine to get you where you wanted to go. Yes they lacked all the razzle-dazzle we demand nowadays but they were reliable and dependable and affordable for the average wage earner. The shame is that you can't buy a "plain" car anymore. Even the low price stuff is hopelessly junked up with so many sensors and electronics that it makes labor and parts absurdly expensive. And worst of all there seems to be no end in sight.
that's how they rolled in the 50s
3:22 "no guesswork...we find out for sure." and this was in 1950.
really? they couldn't find out why my Pontiac was using oil in 1998 after working on it 3 times and charging me over a thousand dollars. I've been GM free since then and couldn't be happier. I'll never buy another GM product.
Has your accelerator stuck lately?
It was Valve Stem Seals.... And you just got one rotten Dealer.
Also, it's no excuse, but that car had 50x more parts and wiring than ANY 1950 Car.
chieftp you probably bought a old 300,000 mile 4 cylinder
Long ago l had a Saturn SC2, another GM product, it didn't burn a drop of oil until almost 200,000 miles when I got another car.
Now they just plug in one plug under your steering wheel.
Mr. Gleason your 2018 Chevrolet is ready for pick up, you bill is 4000 bucks
For the oil change. Then the other things that the car needed…..🤑
no all my friend,my 42 Buick Century is a beauty,rare American beauty.
Gee, those Chevys sure can take a beating! I'm definitely going to be getting one as my next car! In fact I might just go down to the Chevy dealer in town this afternoon and trade in my Ford !
👍🏻😉
I was kind of thinking too ... different eras have different problems; maybe in 1950 the biggest problem was much of America still had rough roads, the interstates had not reached their area.
I wonder if our 1950s selfs would have wondered why we're worried about crumple zones, 6-year-financing, etc.
@@josephgaviota Interstates didn't even exist at this time. Construction started in 1956.
I was born in the wrong era ..
No you weren't
@@CreativeNameChosen I was. The only thing that is better is technology, but society has gone into the toilet.

They were called "shop coats" in those days.
7:12
🤫🤫🤫
how come the guy working has his night robe on? Maybe he takes his work home.
Carlie Irvin Before they wore overalls, mechanics wore these weird-looking shop coats. They're supposed to look like lab coats.
Either these coats or jumpsuits.
Lol No they are not better than todays cars..Theyre cooler But not better.. The old cars at 100k miles the motors were ready for a rebuild..Today they maybe ready for new spark plugs.. They didn't stop well or take off quickly..Todays cars are better in every way
Must agree here ,my Dad started mechanic work ,1969. Did couple motor jobs a week. I work at a Ford shop,damn few done .When there is one ,they order a whole engine block.
The main reason motors last longer today isn't so much because they're built better. It's because of the improvements of motor oil. Just a few years ago EVERY engine would sludge, regardless of how much you changed the oil.
Not better in every way the engines today last longer but they are so complicated they are rarely rebuilt when the do quit working. Maintenance is a lot easier on these cars but is required more often.
Chevrolet is not the reliable, economical transportation it was back then.
Tucker Torpedo 48 was much better then, but the owners of these Chevrolets, Cadillacs did not want to lose customers for their buckets.. framed a man
The background music is the same used in this video! ruclips.net/video/WmPpry8JiK0/видео.html
2:00 wait till you meet Honda Motor Company
Cough: cough:
toys for children. bullsht for foold
Sensible men deal with the machinery logically. Mr Gleason's silly wife, being a woman and thus incapable of driving, scratched the fender again.......
Ah, the 1950's. Everyone firmly in their place.
It was still wrong for Mr. Gleason to beat his wife senseless for again damaging his beloved new Chevy.
The solution is to drive a motorbike. No more twisting tonnes of force. Because you're motorbike weighs less than 500 pounds, and there is no twisting, period. And your gas mileage is twice what you'd get in a car. Or compared to this car in the video... 4x. better. Tonnes of rubbish deadweight steal you're hauling around, and paying needlessly to do so, to get you from point A to point B
That rubbish dead-weight that I'm hauling around is not actually rubbish as you say it is, that's insurance that if some dumbass runs a red light or just isn't paying attention that I will be able to walk away form the accident, not just a soupy mess in a leather suit half a mile down the road.
K J lol I’m in Alaska I’d love to see his happy ass in his cold leather riding in -20 or colder with a wind chill of -60. Better yet fresh foot of snow and a day later it’s -10.
My small daily uses 42 mpg, has AC and I use it to carpool with a colleague which effectively lowers the mpg to 84 per person. Motorbikes were always for the poor that couldn’t afford the luxury of a car. Cars are now cheaper than most bikes so the mfg’s started saying they’re a lifestyle choice. It’s like camping with a tent versus a hotel. To each his own, I prefer a little luxury against the hot, cold and rain.
While I like "motorbikes" as you call them, you are pretty much a sitting duck on one nowadays!
@@RustOnWheels For crowded cities with heavy traffics, restrictions for cars... they are priceless if the weather is not very bad, but for empty roads and highways and even tracks I definitely prefer a car. I love cars more than "motorbikes" but in my city, most of the times motorbikes are much more convenient and practical.
This bideo is all a lie
How come
That was one ugly car.
Get outta here!
Nope, but the 1959 one was the ugliest of them all. The 1952 2 door Chev was our car until I was 9.
A Russian was driving on a freeway heading into Moscow when he joined a huge traffic jam. He opened his window to ask a police officer what was holding up the traffic? The officer replied "Putin is standing in the road, threatening to douse himself in petrol and light himself up unless he gets donations for his war in Ukraine". The driver says, "how much are people donating"? To which the police officer replies "about a gallon".
