When someone loves anything so much, as Jeff does, the exuberance cannot be contained. Knowing Jeff as I do, I can tell all other viewers that he loves his family even more than his cars.
To recite every detail, every story is just amazing! Hope he wrote this all down for the future. Awesome story teller! Thanks PAM and Jeff! Cheers to you! 🍻
VERY NICE!!! My Dad had a 60 hardtop convertible. We would prop the top up against the side of our house to go fishing. If it broke out raining.....well...we got wet!! Lol!! DANG!! Looking around your "show room".....I'M IN HEAVEN!!
I could listen to him all day! If a car doesn’t have a story he’s not interested. Very cool not only keeper of the car but it’s history/story/legacy and life too.
What a part 2, Amazing collection & an very knowledgeable owner. The stories are very interesting. Bernie is smiling down because his 32’ is in the best hands ever. 😎👍🇨🇦
*sent from my wife's computer* So as I commented after Part 1, Jeff is a good friend. As I watched Part 2, I couldn't help but relive the countless hours of detailing each and every one of these cars, including a few that have been sold, something Jeff rarely does, as well as a couple that as not shown, maybe in Part 3? But as I get to spend time with each car, polishing, detailing and more, inevitably, I think to myself, oh this one is my favorite, no question. Then I move on to the next car and think, oh this one is my favorite no question. And that process just continues. It's really just remarkable what Jeff has been able to put together over the years and now share. I feel so privileged to be amongst his group of trusted friends that get to enjoy this special place and hid friendship on a regular basis. But beyond all that, as you now can see, Jeff is a masterful storyteller. I'm thrilled to see him have the chance to put this video series out there and share this collection and these fascinating and charming stories. My personal favorite line from Part 2 was during the Riviera story on the phone with the police dispatcher when asked, "Do you want the deer?" Love it! - Brent Budgor
Wow! Thanks, Jeff and Petersen Automotive, what a wonderful collection. Jeff is a fantastic speaker and his back stories on each car is absolutely awesome! Love it! :)
Michael, I had doubts about my public speaking abilities, fearing the who thing would be goofy, I'm glad you enjoyed and appreciate your encouragement! Thank you!
@@jeffreygoldstein506 You're welcome, Jeff. Your speaking skills are akin to listening to a knowledgeable person share anecdotal experiences in a very welcoming manner. I very much appreciated the time listening to you.
Jeff, this is one of the best car videos on You Tube I have ever seen! What a great collection you have. What’s great also is the personal story behind each one, great job Jeff!
@@redgreen6436 Hi Red, I agree, lets consider it a place-holder until we find an original. The intent was to honor the original selling dealer and memorialize car dealers tradition of installing these emblems.
@@jeffreygoldstein506 Your welcome, at 68 I dream of the past often, I grew up in a hot rod family and was the youngest. My dad, brother and I, would wait for the premier day in September, if I remember correctly they would unveil the cars around 6 pm, my dad was a Ford guy so that was our first stop, all the dealers were on the same street and within walking distance, so spectacular to see, the heat off of the searchlights was incredible but added to the fanfare. I especially love your wife’s Cadillac and have ordered the book for my collection. Again thanks for sharing your wonderful collection of cars, I have so many favorites.
Just an excellent collection and presentation. This man could narrate or host any show and do most the cuts in one solid take! But the cars are perfect! Love the Pontiac's the GTO is a manual etc. Love it!
I have watch alot RUclips videos and i must say this series you put together are the best. Thanks for sharing your collection something to be really proud of. 👍
Hi Jeff, just came across your channel today and love your unique stories about your car 🚙 collection. I think 💭 this has been a labor of love for you. I so appreciate you historical information. You bring these cars and their history alive. Thanks 🙏 so much again. I must subscribe to your channel so I can enjoy your content. Thanks again.
WHAT AN ABSOLUTE DELIGHT MR. GOLDSTEIN IS, SUCH KNOWLEDGE,HE IS SO DOWN-TO-EARTH,WHAT A GREAT SERIES OF VIDS AND WHAT A GREAT COLLECTION,WONDER IF HE MIGHT ADOPT ME.LOL
Great collection particularly with the wonderful stories. When I was 11 years old, I turned on the TV one night to a show about 2 young guys bombing around the country in a Corvette. I was hooked on the TV show and the car and I promised myself that one day I would own a Corvette. Well that day arrived a few weeks ago when my 2021 Torch Red C8 Corvette arrived. I was born and raised in East Providence and we used to ride our bikes over to Tasca Ford to look at the cars. I remember when they had a 427 Cobra sitting in the showroom (I don't think it was even for sale) and one of the salesman that I was friendly with let sit in it. I was in heaven. So that was my childhood; Corvettes and Cobras. I own a Corvette, next up a Cobra!
This has been the best 50 minutes I've spent in a long time. Listening to you speak about the history of each car Jeff, just blows my mind. The passion you have makes this old guy happy. Thank you sir. Blessings from Kansas~
The 3-pc Rallye wheels,(trim ring,center cap and slotted rims) were more desirable to me. In junior year of high school I bought a set of Rallye’s from my physics teacher who had a 65 or 66 Vette. I put them on my ‘62 Impala 2 dr hardtop. Circa 1970!
A H.S. shop teacher in my HS drove a 64 GTO 4 speed convertible everday. But this was in 1975. We would all be checking it out. The car was only 10 years old but still bad ass even then. Lots of bad ass cars as daily drivers still on the roads then.
My father was a WW2 vet but not disabled but now that you mention it I remember him having these miniature DAV tags on his keychain in the 1960s. Anyone know why he got them but was not disabled?
The DAV would get the plate numbers from all the DMV's and produce the miniature tags and mail them to the owners, they just ask for donations, If you lost your key, anyone could just put them in a mailbox and they would be returned to you.
Those two Corvettes are the most beautiful "ones" I've seen and I've painted and worked on Many. Also I'm not really a Corvette fan; but these are killer.
Skeeter, Thanks! The color is Midnight Aqua, (a '65 Riviera color), it might be called something else on other GM cars. Strangely, it wasn't a very popular color then and you see very few Riviera's painted that shade. I like it too.
What are you doing Jeff you're beautiful cars I had a 1965 GTO and the 1969 my little brother passed away told me before he passed away for me to get another 69 but it's been hard for me I lost my mom my dad it's been a lot of down on my mouth on my life so you got some beautiful my man
A neighbor family across from us had a white 1960 Pontiac Ventura or Catalina. This was around 1960 or 61. Probably bought it new. Another neighbor and childhood friends father had a 49' Pontiac Streamliner fast back as their family car.
Who has Persian rugs in their garage???? Jeff Goldstein does 😀 What an incredible collection of highly significant automobiles and the historical documentation to go alongside them.
David, Thanks for your observation, rest assured the PVC valve is full seated in the valve cover. Overall she holds a strong vacuum, until you move the pedal to the floor.
I love the stories. It makes me sad though. When those cars were new, a regular, working guy like me could've afforded one. And there were so many different ways to make improvements and personalize them. Now it's impossible to build a good hot rod, street rod, custom, or even just hop up your daily driver unless you're very well off. Newer vehicles aren't made for customization. The most you can do is maybe a few bolt on parts but then you have to reprogram the computer every time you make a change. If you're lucky enough to find an older car to build, they're usually either way too expensive, too rusted or wrecked, or someone has already done so much to them it's not worth trying to tear it down and start over. It's definitely not a good time for gearheads. Especially poor ones
Thing with the restoration it's not it's worth as much as an original if it's an original with low miles me myself personally I would love to have a 1963 Corvette Split Window and then have somebody build me a modern 2022 copy of a 1963 split window in carbon fiber I think the price would be around 3 million dollars to have it built because I want to change certain things like the engine would be a V12 LS motor and yes there is a guy that makes LS Motors that are V12 but they cost around $50,000 that's just the motor without transmission
