- So, what's in the box kindly sent over by Tom in Ohio, USA, containing a number of recent automobilia donations?. In this upload I answer the question of "what's in the box?" as I sift through the items Tom kindly donated, followed by details of some freebies that I'll be offering to OCC viewers later this year.
If you're new to the Old Classic Car channel, then "HI!", and if you've been following for some time, then "THANKS!".
I try and upload something relating to vintage and/or classic cars at least twice a week, please also check out some of the older videos too as there is much to discover here now after several years of running the channel, including car memorabilia.

What a lovely unexpected surprise from over the pond . Thankyou Tom . Must have given you a kick too Richard . Nice to know you're nice to know .......Cheers Richard
Only the right crowd around here :-)
People like Tom restore my faith in human nature...............
Very much so!
I'm glad you liked the items. I figured they matched your Dodges and time frames. I'm not positive, but that thermometer could go back to the 30's or '40's as the phone number was still just 3 numbers in small towns and rural areas of the US. It's amazing that it still keeps fairly accurate temperature readings! Keep an eye out for the youthful assistant who seems to enjoy filling Fred and Ned the sheds with trinkets.
great collection Tom, glad we all get to see these items. 😊
Ah yes I have to keep a very close eye on things in there, in case they go "walkabout" ... :)
That was a very generous gesture by Tom. If he sees this, thank you Tom.
It was indeed, very kind
Great collection of motoring stuff and some fantastic addition of stuff from Tom, well done that man. All the best Bob
Hi from Ontario Canada, I had to laugh when got excited about seeing the sun . when i have video calls with my sister's in Sutton and Litchfield they tell me that it's raining. I tell my friends that you don't get a suntan in the uk you go rusty Thanks for the videos I taught myself to drive my sister's mini traveler at age 11 road motorcycle at 13 heavy machinery at 15 , car's at 18 and at 21 got my class 1 hgv now just short of my 70th birthday, I have a hard time getting in and out of my 1992 dodge stealth
Hi Rick. One of my recently departed Daimler DS420's was fitted with an ice alert, rectangular version. It still seemed to work, although it was rarely out in the cold. This was a UK car, therefore this must be an accessory available in the UK in the 70's.
It was, and was fitted on quite a few Jaguars............
An update on the Rover brochure. My research shows oniy 1500 were imported to the US and the Ice alert, electric windows and a few other items were exclusive to the US model. Apparently low performance and as one response here indicates, reliability issues loomed large in the P6 demise. Those wheels look very much Rostyle or Magnum 500's on some US cars of the period.
Now you know where your bits and pieces have ended up!
Very cool! Thanks for sharing👍
Love seeing pieces of Americana displayed in lovely old England.
Hi 👋 Richard. Good old items . Museum pieces they are. My father drove a Rover 2000 in the 1970s. It was in a red colour. It was beautiful and very nice to sit in with its bucket seats. He,said to me it was a petrol guzzler. ⛽️. I think it was a V8 engine. Interesting that the Rover was on the American car market. It's very nice where you live. From Carl.
Nice car those old Rovers
@oldclassiccarUK Yes the Rovers were nice. I remember the wedge shaped models coming out in the late 1970s. A complete change in design.
Some people would just see that as junk but of course 'we' all know better. I have not seen those wheels (or hub caps) on a P6 here in the UK either and the ice detector must have been for the USA market only I would think. The oil can is a very nice example and looks as new. I assume that the ruler would be for measuring your fish once you have caught it as it has fishing laws on it? I am not really a fisherman but I have 'dabbled' in the past. A collection of interesting items that have found a good home. Thanks Rick for sharing this video. 👍👍
Thanks for checking it out, I thought I needed to slip in a bit of garage action to the video list!
How good is that, well done Tom. OCC needs to polish that Humber raditor surround. 😅
I did wonder about cleaning up the radiator, but decided to leave it au naturel (apart from the badge which I did clean a little)
My Uncle Bob and Aunt Ruth of Wellesley, MA had a Rover 2000 they had bought new. He said it was a wonderful car to drive, but a terrible car to own. Nothing big, but apparently lots of little things would need to be attended to. My uncle is gone now, but Aunt Ruth is 106 years old.
Those wheels on the P6 on the brochure cover look like Kelsey Hayes Magstars. Popular fit on 1967 Shelby GT Mustangs. BTW, your camera doesn't do macro!
Great collection and I bet they are the only ones in the UK which would make them unique.
To be "unique", they would have to be the only ones in existence...........
I can't imagine there'd be too many agreed!
👍👍👍👍👍
I toured Wales in 1975 in a 1968 Rover P6 2000, very nice car it was as well.
In the Aldershot area is a garage owner with his late father in laws White Rover P6 3500s I'm sure the badge states S ??? It's covered less than 10k as his father in law died and they've just kept it.
Must be worth a small fortune as it's as new.
Sounds nice, the S usually signifies manual gearbox on the P6 3500 doesn't it?
@@oldclassiccarUK Yes, "S" stands for "Synchromesh" and not "Sport", as a lot of people think...............
