    I had a 1929 Whippet Model 96A which had a finger tip control switch. Mine was modified as the switches needed upgrading. Bosch no longer make the switch. It appears this 98A also had the starter on the Steering Wheel, not on the floor. Our 96A is still in the family in Albany Western Australia and like this one is unrestored but still going!

    If I remember correctly, the Whippet was an economy car that just couldn't be produced fast enough. Love the King kit car near the garage door.

    Nice old original car. I grew up a couple of blocks away from the factory where this car was built in Toledo, Ohio. Subscribed.

    You had me at Willy's!! Came over here from JYD and I'm loving supporting another Iowa RUclipsr

    Thanks for sharing. I just had a Willys Whippet identified in one of my old family photo albums. Seeing your unrestored version really helps to match up the photo to your actual vehicle. What are you plans for the vehicle?

    Love the variety of cars I see in the background. Also came here from JYD when you showed that revving TR4. Was just insane. Subscribed.

      I saw your channel, I subbed ;-) Nice video: I'd never guess you're only 28 by listening to your deep voice! Maybe time to upload a second one?

    Hi Steve . Just found this on your site. Very , very original . The interior looks very good indeed . Is it original? Think you get a few more comments nowadays! And a few more subscribers!

    A fascinating car, and an interesting choice for your first episode. Would enjoy knowing more of its history, and its story in your life. Rock on!

    Junkyard and Moog with the FBH sent me over. Enjoyed that. My first car was a 3 cylinder 2 stroke 1960 Saab. Worked on and loved Morris Minors. Had a BMW bubble car for a while. No more, sadly! Look forward to viewing more great videos. Have you seen Jonathan W's channel?

    Hi Steve I’m new to your channel. I like what you’re doing and will now start to binge watch your videos. As someone who lives in the UK I love the fact that you work on British Cars. Shame you have the steering wheel on the wrong side but hey you’re American so we’ll have make allowances for you. 😜😜😜😂
