Yeah buddy congratulations you got it I thought I’d throw a wrench in there once something totally outside of what we generally do for name that tune.. but you still got it =)
My great-grandfather had a '36 4-door sedan. It had been garaged, covered and not driven for 23 years. First time I saw it: "We have to ride and drive in this thing?" In 1958 it was just an old-fashioned car. Starting a dental practice my needed a cheap "office" car. The car was graceful and elegant. The interior appointments were remarkable. But GG, thrifty soul, would special order a car to avoid paying for heater, bare-bones hubcaps, no outside mirrors, and certainly no radio (if they were available in any of the '36 models). As dad was driving to the office one day, he heard some rattling and clanking only to look in his rear view mirror to see a barrage of auto parts all over the road, surprised it was even still running. It's last trip was back to where it came from--and sat in the barnyard for 8 years, flat/cracked tires, increasing rust but the interior remained in great condition. After convincing grandpa he should sell it, I put up home made ads on telephone poles along the road: "Look ahead, the car of your dreams is in the next driveway to your left. $80.00." (yes, eighty). The signs finally fell down and he gave it to a kid who lived on the ranch next to ours. A few years later and Gary brought the car out for us to see it. He did a complete restoration (remarkable even for the late 60s) and then sold it and made a tidy profit..it's probably about time to restore it again.
Jay, really enjoy your channel. Just a couple of points, 1936 was the first year for all metal construction. It was referred to as turret top construction.No more wood other than for interior attachment points. Additionally the creases you refer to in the fenders etc are called peaks. The catwalk is generally meant as the area between the top and trunk area think coupe.Do not mean to be critical more of a critique. Please take my comments in the spirit of helping with the descriptions. Keep up the good work of keeping these classics alive.
Would you rather...I would take the 1936 Buick Special because WE HAD ONE when I was a tyke during and just after the war. I remember that big black Buick with the spare wheel on the fender. We still have pictures of us standing in front of that big car. Thanks so much for a great trip down memory lane!
I wish car designers of today would learn a thing or two by looking back about 90 yrs to see what real deaign looks like instead of every new car looking like a transformer.
Hi Jay, thought I'd do a little research for you. Nash did adopt unibody in 1941 for their new 600 model. It was the first year for the 173 cid 'Flying Scot' side valve six. They called the design a sealed in engine since the intake was cast in the head. Styling by Raymond Lowey. 'Weather Eye' conditioned air system. And, of course, Nash offered the reclining front seat option. Interestingly the Ambassador model utilized a unibody but then mounted that to a frame. Keep up the good work. Your vids are very good.
Awesome thank you so much for all of that information I really appreciate it I always wondered when they went unibody I know Chrysler was the first to go unit body in America I saw one for sale and I saw a frame attached to it a 36 model so I had my answer but I didn’t go back to the comment and fill it in sometimes it gets really hard to go back Mark Chandler was right Thank you so much for all of that information I really appreciate it =)
That's a bypass oil filter. Some oil bypasses the oil circuit and goes thru filter. From the filter it goes back into the oil pan. If the filter gets clogged the engine still gets oil, but then again dirt in oil pan can easily get into bearings. Oil change interval was much shorter than oil filter interval.
My recollection from the late 1950's early 1960's was my dad having the oil filter changed at every other oil change. He would change oil at 3k miles, change oil and filter at 6k. If others read this comment who remember, it would be interesting to get other peoples recollection. Maybe that is one reason why engines like the Ford Y block had reputations as oil burners? By the late 1960's when I started driving, it was well known that oil and filter should be changed every 3k miles. Another thoroughly enjoyable video Jay!
What did you think of the chassis segment I’m thinking about doing it like the engine and specifications segment breakdown clutch brakes used of course it’s only if I can find the information on the car I was able to find a lot of information about this car Glad you dig this episode =)
@@What.its.like. 👍 For me just as important as everything else .....🤔 I enjoy technology progression and innovation 🤔👍. My grandfather looked at the rear Crosley suspension set up and did it front and rear of a model T speedster?? Better ride, handling and lower than a stock Ford T ... remember a junkyard and creative vision is the key to Hot Rodding and affordible projects 🤔 good luck with yours 😉👍 enjoy your adventures ✌️
Yes, a great looking car, and thanks for the mechanical detail. Buick was an early adopter of coil rear suspension. I know they had it in 38, but didn't know when they started doing it. It wasn't 36 apparently. Also they were very late to abandon torque tubes, as late as 1960 I think. On oil filters, thesedays they are full flow, in that the pump pushes the oil through the filter before it gets anywhere else. In earlier days, just a feed from the pump went through the filter, on the principle that all the oil would get filtered eventually. Whether an early motor can be modified for a full flow filter depends on it's design. Some can and some can't.
I’ll take the current Buick, but put a heater in it. Nice car, but as someone in the chat mentioned, it’s like driving a 1950 International Harvester tractor.😂
I would love to drive one Out of the car is featured in the would you rather segment the Nash is pretty high up on the list of cars that I would really like to review/drive maybe even own but my favorite out of this bunch would probably come down to the Nash and the 35 Buick that is a nice looking car
@@What.its.like. a family member owned this exact model back in the mid 1950’s. I rode in It a few times….the reality of the ride was not good. In the summer, those cloth seats accentuated how unbelievably HOT 🥵 the interior would get. His wife, who was a petite woman, was unable to drive it because the steering was a beast.
My favorite era of automobiles: ignition and fuel delivery systems perfected, some modern niceties such as trunks, synchromesh transmissions, radios, aerodynamics, and better heaters (though often optional) with wipers (though vacuum powered). Cars by this time had developed different styles that differentiated creatively between a Ford and a Packard, an Airflow and a Cord. For some strange reason I really liked the style of the Buicks of the mid 30s to the outbreak of World War 2.
I think the exterior of the 35 is better looking, but the dash of the 36 is gorgeous (love art deco). Like many, I’ll state that the Century was the first muscle car, if we accept a muscle car is a big engine in a midsized body. The Century got its name because it was claimed to be able to achieve 100 MPH. Choices - 36 Buick for both. Thank you as always, still digging this and appreciate all your hard work! ~ Chuck
The oil filter on this car was a "bypass" oil filter, which did not filter all oil using the pressure oiling system, as later cars did. Thus, the canister was not changed when the oil was changed. The oil change interval for most of the 1930's and 1940's cars was 2 months or 2,000 miles, whichever came first.
After a closer look by you, Jay, this is another beauty. It had class! The "mystery tune" was correct: "Be Good, Johnny" by Men at Work from Australia. I think it was 1982. I've got the album.
Yeah I wasn’t gonna take any points off for jumbling up the title as long as it was close I really like the 35 I started looking for on because according to JD power top condition one should be like 15 grand by what the book says and what people are asking for are two totally different numbers..
Interesting comparison this time as my dad had a 35 Buick Series 40 (no trunk) and his dad had a 36 Buick Century. Overall the 36 was a better car top to bottom. The 35 was stark in comparison in looks but I still like the 35 Buicks classic lines better.
The new Anolite aluminum pistons, coated with an anodic treatment, replaced the cast-iron pistons previously used in Buick engines, providing a nearly 13-pound reduction of reciprocating mass, allowing higher performance. The inclusion of an oil filter meant that oil life doubled. The oil filter only filters the oil going to the rocker arm valve train. The oil change interval back then was every 1,000 miles, non detergent oil (yes it would have crud) that said it worked just fine. (even into the mid 60's when I began working many customers still asked for Non-Detergent oil) Keep in mind it wasn't until the 50's that oil filters became more common. Also - the old Babbitt bearings were very common and held up well, back in the day pouring new Babbitt was done without much drama. Also, the carburetor is not an orignal on that engine and you can see it has a cable for the choke, hence the double T on the dash, somewhere along the line someone added it. OK WYR 1? Buick WYR 2? Buick
Cool choices thank you so much for sharing all that information and added insight. What do you think of the chassis segment I’m going to try to get it to a point where it’s just like the car specs engine specs page I figured it would be a good addition especially because a lot of people getting into the car Hobby may not know a lot of cars had kingpins for a long period of time like Studebaker they never adapted to anything new
For me on the, 'Would You Rather': 1. The Studebaker. '36 was also a year when airstreaming was popular, which I personally don't care for. Of the three, the Studie has the least of that style influence. 2. The Custom 6. It's casually understated. The lines of the car are of a forward rake; which is uncommon but works well. Great video, Jay!
I will second your choices with the Studebaker Dictator St. Regis and the 1937 Hudson 6 with its classy waterfall grille. BTW the name "Ambassador" was featured prominently for a long, long, time in the Nash lineup because our family had for about ten years a red 1969 Rambler Ambassador station wagon. Not a bad car for its time. Nash always made good cars.
Hi Jay!: Gotta LOVE 1930's cars! The Buick is NICE. Like you I am partial to the 1935. As to the dash design, the 1935 is pretty cool. . .but, as one gets older and the eyes aren't quite as good as they were, that 1936 gauge cluster IS nice and BIG!! Practical! It's interesting that you mention the Marquette. I like the unusual GM Companion made cars! The problem was, except for LaSalle and Pontiac, the others were launched during the depression, and just couldn't make it. Olds had that COOL Viking with the V-8 engine which was VERY interesting! I have original brochures for the Marquette and the Viking. You are making the WYR's VERY hard this time!! Can I pick all of them?! Think I have to go Stude on the first one, despite the weird name. Second. . . I guess the Buick. The Oldsmobiles of this era were also pretty interesting as well.
1936 for the industry in general and particularly for GM has always been what I consider "a year of confusion in design". Styling cues were taken from Art Deco and it was a transition from the previous decades squared off looks to the more rounded look that was to follow. Ford on the other hand bucked the trend and made a particularly attractive car although not in the same league quality wise. 1937 was a big improvement with a more balanced design.
External filter mounting has to be cast at the time of casting of the block. If that's what you are asking. Or are you trying to ask about spin on filters?
This car is long! Siting in the back seat you had plenty of space. And the seats were more akin to furniture you had in you living room, plush. This car reminded me more of a limo than a regular car when I saw it. One of my favorite American classic autos. I think it is a good looking car, one of GM's best. Studebaker then Buick.
It was really the 34 Series 40 that pulled Buick out of its post- 1929 pregnant Buick doldrums. I tend to prefer the 34/35 as the early potato body stuff doesn't usualy do it for me (though Buick rebounded strongly for 37 and the 38 is steller - by which point of course the Century was a true 100 mph car not just in copy writer's dream). Postwar the Special took Buick eventually to 3rd place, but quality slipped and Buick crashed into an also ran by 60, before building itself up again. WYR: Buick/Buick.
The '36s had a terrible problem with their instrument clusters: it was a piece of glass suspended over the instruments, and the numbers and lines literally melted over time, and ran down the inside. Impossible to fix. Had to be replaced. Jaeger (in Europe) had a similar problems in all their French cars (especially Renault.) I would love to have a '36, although the '40 was a better car in every way.
I like the 35 dash as well as the grille too. Also, I could never understand the side mounts being on the driver side if you pulled off the road to change a flat tire you're on the side of the road with traffic coming by while you're trying to wrestle a wheel out of your side mount The passenger side would at least get you out of the traffic lane somewhat. Of course if the flat you're having to change is on the driver side you're going to be having your butt hanging out into the traffic anyways. GM had mastered the turret top by 36. GM used that as a selling point over Ford who hadn't yet figured out how to do a one piece top yet. 36 Studebaker Custom 6
The dash reminds me of a packer - the fenders on the 35 remind me of a Packard I think that’s why I like the 35 so much it looks like a Packard I looked up to see how much his cars are worth versus what they’re going for what they’re worth and what they’re going for two different numbers they’re generally asking three times as much for the car than it’s worth anywhere that I found it for sale.. those are so cool maybe I’ll find one this year Great choices =)
Those oil filters were bypass type only. Full Flow type was not used yet at that time. Only a small portion of oil that was going to moving engine parts was filtered. Crankcase ventilation systems were inadequate at best and engine oil was of piss poor quality with regards to know the additive or very little additive package used. A lot of internal engine sludge happened after a while.
All those cars you are comparing look so much alike that I wouldn't know which one to pick! Gets even worse when you compare all the GM's to one another.
1935 Dash. If you look at a 1935, 1936 Packard the dash panel appears to be the same stamping. I guess Buick on both counts. Although I like all the others. Nash not the best looking car….here of a lot with very low mileage, owners probably had such buyers remorse they didn’t want to take it out of the garage.
The Nash gave me 36 pierce arrow vibes.. I thought that dash looked similar to packards and that’s probably why I liked it same with the fenders Nash was also unit body just a different car
That’s what I thought as well there is engine family episode coming on the ohv eight family most powerful engine in the family only made 168 hp I know people who have had them and say it’s a a lot better in reality than on paper
I am another one who would choose the Buick in both scenarios although I also like the DeSoto. Another beauty. I'm impressed how well-appointed this car is despite being the lowest priced model. The engine looks like it would be easy to get to, as opposed to more recent cars.
Great choices I know right the seat in the rear could have been more narrow it was a bit too wide in my opinion but this was definitely a nice basement level car
Men at work -Be good Johnny
Yeah buddy congratulations you got it I thought I’d throw a wrench in there once something totally outside of what we generally do for name that tune.. but you still got it =)

Definitely 1936 Buick, but having one makes me biased.
A masterpiece of Art Deco design, impeccably restored.
That really _is_ a beautiful car.
To me, the 36 Buick is the most beautiful Buick ever made. Amazingly Beautiful

Catwalk very much means the area between the fender and the hood.
Called different things but thank you so much for sharing that vocabulary it’s something I need to work on thank you so much for that feed back =)

"Theres alot going on with this design" you nailed that Jay!
I wish car designers of today would learn a thing or two by looking back about 90 yrs to see what real deaign looks like instead of every new car looking like a transformer.
They used to design cars in/with clay now they use computers.. I miss curves on cars as well as actual gauges
They had lots of expensive stainless steel fittings instead of cheap decals.
@@What.its.like. Modern design is all about bean counting. Anything that can be deleted is to increase profit.
My parents owned a 1952 Special. It’s amazing how many of the interior features of the 1936 were very similar. Love 1930’s cars.
Sweet me too love the 30s and 50s the most
I love how the speedometer looks like a radio face.
Yes super nice dash in this one
16:30 I like those "tilt out" rear windows ... seems like that'd be really good to suck out the cigarette smoke (you know, back in the day).
This was when GM boasted "no-draft" ventilation, which involved cowl vents and vent windows front and back...
Hi Jay, thought I'd do a little research for you. Nash did adopt unibody in 1941 for their new 600 model. It was the first year for the 173 cid 'Flying Scot' side valve six. They called the design a sealed in engine since the intake was cast in the head. Styling by Raymond Lowey. 'Weather Eye' conditioned air system. And, of course, Nash offered the reclining front seat option. Interestingly the Ambassador model utilized a unibody but then mounted that to a frame. Keep up the good work. Your vids are very good.

The back of the rear seat wasn't adjusted properly. That's why the seat portion looked very wide.
External filter mounting has to be cast at the time of casting of the block. If that's what you are asking. Or are you trying to ask about spin on filters?
In block oil filter added to the oil pan so can have in block oil filtration

This car reminded me more of a limo than a regular car when I saw it. One of my favorite American classic autos. I think it is a good looking car, one of GM's best. Studebaker then Buick.
That second "T" knob may be for temperature heat control.
Possibly but I didn’t see a heater in that car

8:38 Side Markers Flash Gordon would be proud to own!
FLASH ah ah lol
The Special was also used as a trim line in 1970s and early 80s.
Awesome thank you so much for that correction =)
@@What.its.like. Any time!
My mom Graduated High School that year.
Sweet my grandpa was born 3 years later.. best friend
It was really the 34 Series 40 that pulled Buick out of its post- 1929 pregnant Buick doldrums. I tend to prefer the 34/35 as the early potato body stuff doesn't usualy do it for me (though Buick rebounded strongly for 37 and the 38 is steller - by which point of course the Century was a true 100 mph car not just in copy writer's dream). Postwar the Special took Buick eventually to 3rd place, but quality slipped and Buick crashed into an also ran by 60, before building itself up again. WYR: Buick/Buick.
Sweet choices =) thank you so much for sharing insight
The '36s had a terrible problem with their instrument clusters: it was a piece of glass suspended over the instruments, and the numbers and lines literally melted over time, and ran down the inside. Impossible to fix. Had to be replaced. Jaeger (in Europe) had a similar problems in all their French cars (especially Renault.)
I would love to have a '36, although the '40 was a better car in every way.
Great to know information that I never knew thank you so much for sharing =)
Nice Buick! Packard was much nicer and much more expensive too!
Todos los. 35-36 eran muy artdeco, esos Buick debido al gran motor eran flojos de paliers (,rompian)🆗👏👏
Cool 🥰
Today you could sell this as a retro inspired modern CUV.
LA Noir bought me here 😂
I like the 35 dash as well as the grille too. Also, I could never understand the side mounts being on the driver side if you pulled off the road to change a flat tire you're on the side of the road with traffic coming by while you're trying to wrestle a wheel out of your side mount
The passenger side would at least get you out of the traffic lane somewhat. Of course if the flat you're having to change is on the driver side you're going to be having your butt hanging out into the traffic anyways.
GM had mastered the turret top by 36. GM used that as a selling point over Ford who hadn't yet figured out how to do a one piece top yet.
36 Studebaker Custom 6
The dash reminds me of a packer - the fenders on the 35 remind me of a Packard I think that’s why I like the 35 so much it looks like a Packard I looked up to see how much his cars are worth versus what they’re going for what they’re worth and what they’re going for two different numbers they’re generally asking three times as much for the car than it’s worth anywhere that I found it for sale.. those are so cool maybe I’ll find one this year
Great choices =)
Would you rather? I rather have the Studebaker Dictator - Love "aerodynamic" grill design.
Sweet choice =)
I Like Dreaming by Kenny Nolan
Great guess someone are you got it it was men at work be good Johnny
Those oil filters were bypass type only. Full Flow type was not used yet at that time. Only a small portion of oil that was going to moving engine parts was filtered. Crankcase ventilation systems were inadequate at best and engine oil was of piss poor quality with regards to know the additive or very little additive package used. A lot of internal engine sludge happened after a while.
Awesome insight
The ‘35 looks waaaaay better. It almost seems like they tried to make the ‘36 worse in every way. Weird.
1936🎉
Relatively inexpensive elegance. I will gowith the de Soto.
All those cars you are comparing look so much alike that I wouldn't know which one to pick!
Gets even worse when you compare all the GM's to one another.
That Nash tho... I want to review one
Nash-- Desoto
Sweet choices it was going to be the De Soto airflow I can’t get over how expensive those were it was over $1000 for a car
IMO 1936 was not a great looking Buick. Ford, DeSoto, and others looked better. However, 1940 and 1941 were a different story...
1935 Dash. If you look at a 1935, 1936 Packard the dash panel appears to be the same stamping.
I guess Buick on both counts. Although I like all the others. Nash not the best looking car….here of a lot with very low mileage, owners probably had such buyers remorse they didn’t want to take it out of the garage.
The Nash gave me 36 pierce arrow vibes.. I thought that dash looked similar to packards and that’s probably why I liked it same with the fenders Nash was also unit body just a different car
@@What.its.like. I don’t think Nash had a unit body until 1941.
Hope you are enjoying your vacation!
Awesome I’ll have to look into that
Cars were still cheap. Ford got the model T down to around $365. This Buick was'nt a whole lot more.
Only Like Dreaming by Kelly D
Great guess but no it was men at work be good Johnny
DeSoto all day.
Studabaker Dictator, Nash Ambassador
Sweet choices
BUICK &BUICK
Sweet choices =)
Have you done a 49 Cadillac?
Not yet
@@What.its.like. Its a milestone car. Hoovies Garage has one with a 500 CI engine and THD 400 plus AC etc. He can daily driver it.
35 all day long...
36 Stude
36 DeSoto
Sweet choices =)
Chevy had a OHV in 1932.
In 29 overhead valve started way way sooner for Buick.. they had overhead valve in 1910
Low HP and torque for an 8 cylinder it seems to me.
That’s what I thought as well there is engine family episode coming on the ohv eight family most powerful engine in the family only made 168 hp I know people who have had them and say it’s a a lot better in reality than on paper
the desoto
Sweet =)
wrong
Lame.
47 Buick 0-60 57sec. 5min to stop the 40 had two carbs on the fireball 8😂 48 dyna wontcha. flow
Hahaha yeah stopping sometimes is/could be interesting lol
I prefer a manual transmission for that reason
Very cool, really enjoyed! 👍👍
I am another one who would choose the Buick in both scenarios although I also like the DeSoto.
Another beauty. I'm impressed how well-appointed this car is despite being the lowest priced model. The engine looks like it would be easy to get to, as opposed to more recent cars.
Great choices
I know right the seat in the rear could have been more narrow it was a bit too wide in my opinion but this was definitely a nice basement level car
I would prefer a 1935 Buick Roadmaster.
You missed one . . . Queen Mary enters service with maiden voyage! 1936.
I only do three to leave others for other cars that were made in 1936
That ship still exists but is no longer sailing
THE BUICK HAS MUCH BETTER STYLING THAN ITS COMPETITORS
Blondie, Dreaming
Great guess but no
36 was a good year for several cars keep giving your time it's appreciated Jay Buick made great cars until 2000
=) 36 was a stellar year for cars
