So sad people leave these beautiful cars sit outside. I'm sure decades passed while someone said "someday I'll restore it" as the car rotted away. What a waste.
9:12 Look at that driver side door! That kind of rust does not happen from driving it in winter. That kind happens when you let a car sit out in the open, with the frame touching the ground, for 28 years. I would guess that that car was in very restorable condition on the day that it was first left out to pasture, even with the barn collapse damage. This is a crying shame! Kudos to you for salvaging it! I cannot blame you one bit for using it only as a parts car instead of restoring it.
Had a portable xistor radio plugged into the dash . 120mph passed a cop fla .tpk. no speed limit there then stopped me to look at the car engine w 3 carbs .
Industry was changing in the late 50s in favour of planned obscelescence. My 58 Chrysler, for example, was supplied with a cast iron crankshaft, but it has been replaced with a forged steel crank from a 1957 model.
Here in Norway we have an invention we Call "WHEELS" !!! We always bring a set for this kind of work. And we also use Ploughs for ploughing soil !! We don't use good old American classic cars !!
Tony Soprano And in America we have this little invention called a winch. By the time you lift this rusting, rotting car that's sitting on its rotting frame rails in mud far enough in the air to put four tires on it, you could have done like these guys did and just winch it on.
Nick Jervis I'm sticking with it would have taken twice as long or longer to get this rust bucket lifted enough to get wheels on all four corners and those hubs have been sitting in dirt and mud for decades making that idea even more of a challenge when you can simply just winch it on. You should have liked his comment though. That's what he was really looking for.
you eventually need wheels on it, not saying put new ones, but just stick some on it to move it around once you get it where you are going. You do not want to have to break out the roll back every time you want to move it
This car has such a sad story. Imagine buying an incredible car, stylish, very powerful for it's day, then parking it in 10 years. What a shame. Thanks for salvaging some of the parts, anyway
I cannot understand, why do you have the Bed Rolled out on the 50 yard line and then wasting all that Pull Time, when you Plowing, at least you know how to farm.......alittle! LMBO!
@@nextlinkzcustoms6329 We salvaged the stainless steel and aluminum trim, and I saved some engine parts. At the salvage yard, the car was so rusty that the frame fell out of the body when lifted.
Hmmm, that Oldsmobile definitely doesn't run as well as it once used to. Sad really as these are full of character, these cars. That's some winch, isn't it !!! Hi from Dorset ! = )
MET-TECH LLC Hah, yes I remember you said in a comment (a good while ago now.) Hope your '57 Chrysler is nice and shiny still my friend -and good fortune in all you do over there. = )
Have seen worse and done worse Here in the UK a Jaguar series 1 XJ6 that came out in two halves once due to weather and rot lol , but well depends on how much would be left of the underside , if you don't mind me asking what was it like structurally? , If it was not good structurally then probably not worth saving as would be too much to do. Having looked at the chrome trim even that is knackered which I know would cost a small fortune to replate as for the body panels they could be very hard to repair or replace. All depends on how long it was sitting there , that and the weather I suppose. I mean from what I can see the doors are shot and the sills below that are shot , I just can not see much else. Is it me or is the suspension on the rear collapsed? Still keep up the cool videos and to me well worth watching and very interesting , I heard that most old cars got crushed due to the price of metal and hence why not many old classic cars exist. A good question I suppose is how many junk yards and car salvage yards actually exist in the USA today? , I know not long ago there were thousands.
Ive rode in a couple of these several years ago, and theyre freakin fantastic!

I'll bet the rear glass was worth the effort alone,&That stainless side molding BEUTIFUL
I think you're right, impossible to purchase new. I kept the scrap money, but the owner kept the glass and trim for his other car

I don't understand Spanish.
My 88 Olds I was told by my mechanic we’re noted to have a soft crank...had the engine rebuilt twice...miss that car anyway,

I’m looking for a 1956 key assembly

Sawashi32 I agree with the guy about putting some wheels on.

sad, I wish I can restore it
it was rusted too far; you will find a more worthy project

Thank you for not giving me grief over junking the car. We did save the stainless steel trim, and rare curved rear glass.
alot of good parts for another!
Как вы на них делаете документы?в нашей стране это не возможно
I would translate, but I don't know how to copy your text.
i wanna see what happend!! was restaured??
Hey, do you know how I could open the hood to this car? I inherited one and have no idea how to. It seems stuck.
Stupid question! Can you still get body panels for this car or do you have to find a donor..?
So it´s not possible to get after-market parts for a car like this one?
Best of luck. It´s a cool project. Hope to see updates in the future. Thanks for all the answers..
Why does he say it was only in that grave for 28 years if it was there since 67? That would be 50 years.

Muy buena colección de autos
Be wise to have some old tires ,easy on the equipment. lol,

And I need parts for one of these!!!😥
Still have the front bumper?
@@nextlinkzcustoms6329 it was rusted through
@@HemiChrysler okay thanks! But there's no salvageable parts?

What's with the Liverpool accents??
To me you sound very similar to the Beatles. But I'm an American so all British or Australians sound the same more or less. lol
I've never visited Liverpool.
eighty aint
Crikey! I'm all for rescuing old iron and all of that,but this one seems quite wanked,mate!
Total waste of a perfect classic car!
RUST - RUST - WHO GOT THE RUST !!!!!!!
I would restore it and keep the patina and surface rust and use it as a rat rod , that would be well cool.
