1948 Chevrolet stylemaster Barn find in Edmonton Alberta Canada Owner stored it over 40years If you liked this video check out my weekly uploads. Thank you
Now THIS is a true barn find! What a magnificent car....if ever there was an old car deserving of a full-blown restoration, this is it. I sure hope someone does that.
I bet it smells fantastic once she's shined up and a tank of fresh gas & running smooth and the wind runs thru her wings . Man o man what a awesome find.
My late dad bought a brand new Chevy...a 1947 "Fleetline" 2-door "Fastback". What a great little car she was. Hauled many items up to our place in Clear Lake, Ca. Never a problem towing trailer loads of furniture and building materials, later a boat! In '55 he bought a Chevy Bel Aire "Deluxe"...same reliable performance! Great to see these "sleeping" beauties brought back to life. No "black box" problems back then. We were home garage mechanics...not computer analysts!
@@kenhowell07 On my 1955 chev 210, I had a "pedal" like that on the floor that was the pump for the windshield wiper fluid. In my cas, it was an aftermarket thing that they had mounted right under the clutch pedal so whenever you pushed in the clutch too far, it would spray washer fluid. It also had the vacuum operated wipers which would slow down when you stepped on the gas.
that will be a really nice, easy project for someone. just one dent, and a broken windshield. it's so complete, it looks like the only thing it needs is some elbow grease and a spit shine, and it'll be tooling down the road again.
Reminds me of my younger years I had a few old Chevy's 46 48 53 55 56 you could buy these for about $ 125 I drove them back and forth to work, my pet was a 39 Chevy coupe it had a 52 Oldsmobile V8 I remember the tag was $3, this was in the 60s
Based on the car being 70+ years old and only 39k on the clock, this is a classic case of an older person buying one more car before they die. Car gets driven maybe 10k the first year and they taper off to a few hundred miles in later years before parking it. At that rate it's probably been in the garage since before 1960. This would be a prime candidate for Johnathan W.
I was six when my brother taught me to drive his '48. Pine blocks on the pedals and a big-assed couch cushion on the drivers seat...I learned first hand about 'Armstrong Steering".
In this hobby,most restorations cost more than resale value.It is the enjoyment of bringing back to life an old car.Tim,with this a hot rodder will keep the body ,have a new chassis made,and all new mechanical,and modern interior.Tim I am like you,I most of the time I also think of resale value, but it is what it is.Restored or moderinise just like Chip Foose,.there will be someone wanting it.
It probably wasn't considered an investment. Just a hobby. From the looks of it, cleaning and paint would be most of the work. Some fresh fuel, oil change and a new 6V battery might be all it needs to get on the road.
Pretty wild.... I saved a 1948 Dodge "Fluid Drive" 2 door business coup back in the late 90's and got it restored 1/3 of the way then, (life happened). marriage /kids /house...ect. and its sat ever since. Need to find someone who wants to take it over one of these days or turn it into a rat-rod Hemi-swap.
Now put that wood back on the end of that shed to close it back up while it still will be easy and feasible. If it sets the building will settle or collapse
I've often wondered WHY Someone would NOT put a 'Dust Cover" of some kind on beautiful cars like these - . . So many "barn finds" have been saved because the dust, dampness & dirt was kept out by a cover . . . Oh - - It was in Alberta, Canada . . no wonder . .
well because.... people die gareof. At one time it was somebody's treasure and no cover tarp since it was possibly a daily driver. They obviously cared enough about it to keep it housed in the shed...that's just where they parked it last time and they never drove it again after that
Even 40 years ago, it would have been a rare treat to see that thing still on the road
My buddy had one in high school.we went everywhere in it used hardly any gas and we could actually work on it...
I hope someone brings this car back to life..... it deserves it
Absolutely Andrew i was thinking that to
Keep it stock !🇺🇸
About 15 years ago my dad & I found a 1942 Chevy coupe sitting in a shack like that, its like a treasure hunt finding these old cars ! 👍✌
This beauty was someone's pride & joy long ago ! You can tell that was taken GOOD care of !
Sitting in that barn all those years saved it from target practice. Good show.
?? Target Practice ?? Don't you mean Vandalism ? Or if you manage to catch them, get them arrested and charged with Criminal Damage.
I believe "target practice" is referring to Birds pooping all over the nice paint! 😆
My cousin and I found a barn that had been setting in the trunk of a 57 Cadillac for 50 yrs recently!
I love the smell of an old car inside. Good stuff.
Now THIS is a true barn find! What a magnificent car....if ever there was an old car deserving of a full-blown restoration, this is it. I sure hope someone does that.
Good Lord this is ASweet find brotha
I would love to see this restored.The before and after.It has been well protected in that old barn.
I will keep in contact with the new owner to get a update video
Its great to see cars found and hopefully restored so someone can enjoy them, history refurbished.
Very professional, added 200 % more damage to the car than 40 years in the barn
I bet it smells fantastic once she's shined up and a tank of fresh gas & running smooth and the wind runs thru her wings . Man o man what a awesome find.
That's insane, you lucky bastard!!!!
Interior was amazing, usually the mice get in and really do damage...
I was born in 1948 so long time ago. Cars in better shape than I am.
Now that's a barn built for a 48 Chevy

Just went to Clearlake and that’s a heck of a drive for a car like that. That’s impressive to hear
Incredible find
Like from Brazil - Mogi das Cruzes city - São Paulo state.
Nice find! Very little rust and I think I saw only one whiskey dent.
Tires still up and rolling, amazing!

Wowwwww beautiful classic car the front of this cars is sick the body style nice
Wow that was state of the art once - terrific shape 👌
It has the old bendix starter system I had in my 59 Chevy pickup. Very cool.
foot button ?

@@blanchae no on the 48 that is a starter pedal. you turn key and push down on that pedal to start. I have this same exact car 1948 Chevy stylemaster.

What a beautiful car , cant wait to see it cleaned.
Now that's an actual barn find I live in Southern California and people with dirty cars call him barn finds don't figure
Fix it fix it fix it fix it fix it fix it fix it!
I traded a 1957 2dr coach for a 1948 chev same color as that blue. Love to see it cleaned up.
Perfect car to just get running, clean up and drive it as if it never sat. Looks like a nice straight car.

What a real beauty. A nice untouched classic. Amazing how rodents or critters didnt find there way into this car after all of these years. 👍

Armstrong steering 😓😂💪🏼
Sweet boomer buggy!
Solid find of a car!
I remember a fork lift just like that at 84 lumber in late 60s wow brings back memories
WOW!, I hope she gets restored. Even the wood on the barn is worth something. I wonder how much damage they did to it with the forklift?
Fiutiry Blake!!.
Looks basically rust free. A DIY'ers dream. Go for the full frame off.
That's one way to open a barn
Yep.....🙂
One of those neat old cars that would cost way more to restore than it is worth when finished. Way more.

I have a 1947 all Chevy 454 700 r4 Won a few car shows mine was in a basket brought her back to life
Wow, and the tires had air enough to tow it to the yard nearby.
@Hello Eric how are you doing
Formidable découverte 👍
I hope they will keep it’s original roof as it was found,
Without chopping
If you're looking to move it, you should see if Scott from Cold War Motors, there in Edmonton (Androssan), is interested in it.
Good show!
Nice car!!
Hola lo bueno dos veces bueno chevrolet¡¡¡¡ Argentina.
@Hello how are you doing
I do hope you are going to video the restoration of that car. It is beautiful.
40 Years and the tyres still got air
Yeah same from the factory I bet.
Clean er up find what went wrong
And drive it!!
Beauty
Nice old car, good candidate for restoration or street rod.
Rod? What? That would be sacrileous.
Amazing!!! And beautyfull old car!! For original restauration?
Pretty wild.... I saved a 1948 Dodge "Fluid Drive" 2 door business coup back in the late 90's and got it restored 1/3 of the way then, (life happened). marriage /kids /house...ect. and its sat ever since.

Tell me about the coupe dave...i'm interested
hopefully it will be a close to original restoration and not a low rider restomod. fingers crossed
metallic burgundy 502 big block and big mags ! = after a rebuild ! street rod for sure .
@Hello Ronnie how are you doing
Gotta keep it an in-line. 2jz?
That boy's intact......save for the shift knob & the left mirror face. Even has the rear snows on, from when driven into the shed.....so long ago.
wow!
I would love this car
When they put that one in the barn they meant for it to stay!!
奇跡的な発見に秀樹感激Goodです=3
Now put that wood back on the end of that shed to close it back up while it still will be easy and feasible. If it sets the building will settle or collapse
Very cool!!!!!!!!! 👍👍👍
And YOU can build your very own from a Galaxy kit, but the dust may be the hard part. 🤣
A solid car.
Nice car.
The car is awesome, but I want that barn wood! 😃
You couldn't figure out how to open the hood?
They needed chainsaws and a giant forktruck so......nope
@Hello Stephen how are you doing
Don’t need no stinking door🤙
Straight
You really shouldn't move it with a forklift like that. You can do a lot of damage to the front end, oil pan, trans, and ect
Well,i enjoyed that.Any chance of some more?
thànks.
👍👍
front fenders so big they had to be continued on the doors.
Hope this one gets saved and restored
Even the air quality was better back then seeing the tires still had air.
Real rubber too....
Awsome !
for gods sake restore to stock dont put bicycle wheels on it
Unmolested. The big question... resto mod or factory restoration? This car is a good candidate for either.
ROCK A BILLY ROD!
A treasure from the past.
3:55 "Where's it goin'" she asks....No one has an answer.
Out in the yard with the rest of the parked cars apparently...
Goin to museum
Nice find, did you guys find out why it was parked and "forgotten" for 40-60 years?
Sweet...
i just seen this on tic tok so i had to look it up on here , what a awesome find ‼️ where was this video taken ?
Thanks for checking it out , Edmonton Alberta Canada
@@clydesdalexr3i so cool 😎
Should have opened the hood so we could see that lazy boat anchor of an engine. I would be shocked if even when new that thing could go 70mph. Lol
Nice
That is a barn find !
It's all there. Full resto.
Modern Indiana Joneses!
They're still out there
She'd polish up real nice then a clear coat over that petina!
Was kind of waiting on the barn fall down
I would've liked to have seen the engine bay and boot.
The car was boarded in apparently. I'm glad the roof held up.
I would like to see the engine..... Amazing vintage!
@@clydesdalexr3i Thanks!!! It's fantastic!!! A treasure!!
What did they do, build the building around the car ?? Or how did they get it in ?? LOL 😂👍
Trees had grown around the other side , car was removed when the property was sold
