Ya beat me to it , Good Job
Congratulations 👏👏 well done 🍻
@@johnboydTx Wooo hooo, it’s been a long time since I won one. Thanks y’all! I actually thought I came in 3rd.
@@mattskustomkreations you have good taste in music 🎶😉
I never did find that Shaker 🧂 for my Cheese burger 🍔😉👏👏👏🍻✌️
I’m really into classic and vintage American luxury cars and I’ve never heard of this car! This car screams quality of design and luxury. What an amazing car I never heard of!
This car was awesome love looking at the unheard of brands
Thank you for the presentation. The 29 Windsor is in great shape and the "Wooden Wheels"' are called Artillery Wheels. Also, the body of the car was made of wood with sheet metal nailed to the wood with body nails.
Glad you dig this episode thank you so much for sharing that insight =)
I've never seen a Windsor before, but I have seen several cars with the Moon nameplate. I did not know the history or story behind the Moon. thank you Jay for this information. Another informative video.
Glad you dig this episode that museum has cars you only read about
Thanks jay I had never even heard of this brand before, always nice to learn something new
Glad you dig this episode =) would love to cover all the brands that never got covered and fill in some blanks
A very interesting car. It seems like it was well made and well appointed. The quality of the restoration appears it was done with a great deal of care.
Super interesting story
ruxton is an even crazier story then this.. love covering the cars that don’t get, rarely get talked about
Come Monday - Jimmy Buffett. What a stunning car! I’ve never gotten an up close look at one of these before - just stunning! Thanks as always, glad you spent some family time today! ~ Chuck
=)
Yeah buddy you got the song
But Mattskustomkreations just beat you for title
My favorite jimmy buffet song and I guess a tribute RIP jimmy buffet
Howard, the owner of that car, took my family for a ride in that Windsor. Beautiful car! and Howard restored the car himself.
I love that car Howard drove it the other day to a show they drive some of the stuff at the museum =)
@@What.its.like. Aye. Most of their cars are actively driven. I've driven and rode in that 1904 Saint Louis and it's a total blast!
It's a particularly well appointed car, and as you noted, it's early days for hydraulic brakes. It's also one I had never heard of, so well done there. As you went on to add yourself, commentary on fabrics in a restored car is much more likely to be a comment on the choice of the restorer rather than what was there originally. This may also apply to some degree to the way the seats are padded, which may in turn affect driving position. Cheers.
Totally agree =)
17:06 That is an undeniably sumptuous back seat. I really like the "dolphin" arm rests.
That top of the door device on the rear is arresting gear, to prevent damage by careless passengers, not necessary on the front because the chauffeur would be competent of course.
Thank you for your cameo’s of these automotive jewels.
Hi Jay..
Another most excellent and informative video.
The 'sculpt' on the door panels mirrors the front bumper and Sun visor.
Didja notice, for whatever reason, the temp gauge is in German.
In another life, I was a certified auto trimmer, s'pose I still am, and in
cars of this stature, I'll wager the interior is silk velvet or a cashmere mix..
Diana and Chandler.
German, as in Herr Fahrenheit's temperature scale which is still the standard in US built cars.
Hey jerry that’s awesome great choices as well =)
More than meats the eye! SUPER!
Thank you J. This old man learned a lot today. I'd never heard of this one!
For the price, it was VERY nicely appointed for the time. saving this video
This was One of my favorite episodes involving a car that is rarely talked about =)
1926 Chandler looks like an interesting automotive styling 🤔👍 I'm not sure about the color combination???
Another great episode 😉👏👏
Glad you dig this episode =)
Need to find a Chandler at least one before this year is over
This would definitely be a great wedding or special event car for the right venue. The interior space and materials look really nice and comfortable! I'd probably pick the Jordan in the first and the Windsor in the second. The ads are very cool.
Great choices
Hoping to cover Ruxton and Jordan before the year is over
Never heard of the Windsor, Dianna or the Moon brands before!
Thank you Jay
=) glad you got something out of this episode
Enjoyed!!!!
=)
Hi Jay!: What a FASCINATING car! The Moon was a pretty well known make for a few years in the 1920's. It it so interesting that there were some really GOOD automakers, and they were all over the country! I apologize if someone has already posted, but that Windsor has demouontable rims. You have to remember that early on, automobile tires weren't too good, owners experienced a LOT of flat tires. Demountable rims made it easier to change to a spare. The tire was mounted on the rim and inflated. When you needed to change to your spare, you loosened the peripheral nuts over those plates attached to the rim. Then you could pull off the flat, and mount your rim/tire and you were ready to go again! Made changing tires a little easier on the back, too, as the tire/rim is a LOT lighter than trying to lift one of those artillery wheels with rim and tire! WYR#1 HARD, they are some real orphan goodies! Might go with the Jordan on that one. #2 Windsor White Prince.
I’ll have to see if they’ll be possible to do a demonstration of the detachable wheels because that would be really interesting to see how that’s done..
Sweet choices =)
11:40 Those are some _elegant_ door handles!
3:40 That Ruxton is a _sharp_ looking car!
Almost all of the cars mentioned in this vid, I've never heard of. The "Diana" seems like a good idea, back in the day before power-everything became the norm.
I’m really hoping that I run into a Ruxton this weekend =)
I like your channel because you do do unique cars that I've never heard of
Glad you dig the channel =) I love the cars off the beaten path going against the grain is my thing
My preference would be the Windsor, they look like good designs.
Way to Go Jay Happy Labor Day!
Drip 💧 Rails too!
Great video again! Learned a lot that I didn't know before. Never heard of the Ruxton before, even with being a Detroiter car guy.
Ruxton that’s a story hoping to get to cover it this year
4:25 It's always nice to hear the price in the year of production, _and_ the price that _we_ would pay in today's dollars.
Yeah I think it makes it relevant. But I don’t think the inflation calculator can calculate for everything because there’s more people on the planet now than there was back then said one dollar would be a different amount because there isn’t as many dollars but that’s what inflation is supposed to represent.. idk
Nice car!
Great show Jay. I hope you take your camera with you when you go to the pre 29 show
You can bet I’ll have that there goal is to shoot 30 cars i’m hoping that they’re off the beaten path and would love to cover a bunch of cars that never get the time of day and then Hershey is also coming up
My thoughts exactly on survival rates, I still remember the Bugatti uncovering and how many "barn" finds continue although a lot of them probably are bunk from my memories 60 Edsel convertibles that were 60 Ford Sunliners highly doctored. But there have been numerous vehicles found by sheer happenstance the sad part being most pre WW2 vehicles went to the war scrap drives. This was most prevalent to the upper middle lines of vehicles due to the amount of metal they had and the owners were not as protective of them. Compare the number of surviving Duesenbergs, V-16 Cadillacs, V-12 Packards, pre war Lincolns, and other top line vehicles that survived compared to their lesser brethren. Sad thought but at the time it was so or die.😮😢
Looking forward to the crazy Ruxton story.
Me too =)
Don’t forget the Great Depression in 1929. That ended a lot of car brands. Interesting note from a Jay Leno video. The Dusenberg was only produced as a chassis for one year 1928. Because of the Depression all of its production dates were shown based on the year the Body was installed on the chassis for sale.
Great information =)
Diana and Chandler--but just because I am more familiar with them. The wheels look as if they have detachable rims--you just bolt the rims to them. You don't have to demount the tire. I would say that there are more obscure brands (Rollin, for example), but this is way out there. Thanks for giving so much information on the brand.
I want to go down the rare hardly talked about cars can’t wait to find a Diana and chandler.. Ruxton rickenbacker
Great information thank you so much for sharing all of that =)
Awesome car
I totally dig this car =)
The orphan car of all orphan cars. A real beauty. 14:45 Don't need a door arm-rest when the rear seat is so far back, it'd be pretty useless. Would mid-luxury car buyers have been happy with a 66HP engine in 1929, do you think? WYR: 1. Dianah 2. Chandler
Great choices 66 hp would seem sufficient just think model a had 40 hp.. this car had hydraulic brakes that’s a pretty big deal
Extremely rare, Moon product(s) not easy to find, killed off by depression. Their corporate headquarters was in St. Louis I think.
I really love this car and I did find out from the owner that is mohair I never felt mohair that soft
Front wheel drive cars suck no matter who makes them. But there all the real steel deal,except for a few. And all are beautifully styled works of moving usable art. If you don't register any vehicle of any type in Mo. You may go to jail for tax evasion. Tax collectors are everywhere and looking every day documenting what, when, and where, plus the time of discovery on subject. That Windsor Prince should be in that gorgeous blue even on the fenders with white pinstriping in the right style & placement. The grill should be chromed. Light bar chromed. The 1926 Chandler Roadster is awesome.
I should’ve worded it differently I live in a state where you don’t pay taxes on assets.. and if your car has antique plates it’s under my understanding anyway is that those cars don’t need registered.. but with antique plates I heard you can’t drive it at night classic plates you can.. I have regular plates on the truck so I can drive it when ever I wish
The Diana radiator was an unabashed copy of Rolls, yet they did not sue. There was a lot of cribbing going on in the 20's - Minerva and Hisso were copied as well = possibly the thought being 'hey they're over in Europe, no one will notice'. For this model, Moon initially took the Prince or Wale's feathers as an emblem, but the Palace objected. The Ruxton debacle is an interesting story - much of it laid at the feet of Archie Andrews who was more of a liquidator than a car builder - but actually DID want to build the Ruxton. Swirling bankruptcies, last minute repreieves, and a plant lockout - great story. The 8 sedan was actually priced just under 2k - nicely appointed (priced firmly at the very top of upper middle market range) inside but somewhat dowdy exterior styling - would you have paid this money for an assembled car with a slick ad campaign and no real luxury pedigree, or would you have bought the safer though even more ungainly big Buick - or the more powerful and slightly cheaper Studebaker President.... WYR: 1) Jordan - just b/c I think it's ever more rare - lower production anyway 2) Windsor
Great choices thank you so much for sharing all that information I’m hoping to run into Ruxton this weekend.. because that is definitely a story.
I'm going with the Windsor in both WYR scenarios.
It's a shame these cars were only in production for two years...I wonder how the model would have evolved? And there are only ten left.
I really liked that front bumper, the emblem and how it was laid out. But did it have windshield wipers? You didn't mention it, and I didn't see them.
I’m not sure if I had windshield wipers now that you mention it but they would’ve been mounted at the top
Great choices
I never realized how rare these were until doing an episode on one but with that said this is the type of car that somebody would have drive it for 50 years and not register it so I wonder how many are actually out there..
8:22 "This car has cowl lights ..."
What was the purpose of cowl lights? You may have said it before, but perhaps I've missed it.
29 Windsor White prince
26 Chandler
Jay that is one beautiful automobile it practically looks brand new. Whoever did the restoration on that knows what they are doing. Surprisingly I have never heard of this manufacturer before.
That said. If you want to find another auto maker to base your vehicle off of or emulate, a Packard would be a great choice.
Having videos on cars like these really drives home the point of how good your channel is. This is a perfect example of when you say you do the unknowns and the orphans great job really enjoyed this one.
Awesome choices =) we need to find a chandler maybe at the old car show
I really like this car and it gets driven the owner takes it to local car shows and drives it =) which is my favorite part it gets out often
Thank you that means a lot I want this to be the go to orphan car channel =) love covering the cars that don’t get covered
1 & 2: All of them.
Tune: I Got My Hushpuppies On by Randy Travis. If I'm wrong, that's fine.
Is that car next to an Ahrens-Fox? Sure looks like it.
All of them are great =)
I want to cover at least one Jordan before this year is over..
The song was come Monday
Jimmy buffet
@@What.its.like. Right genre, wrong artist. Oh, well.
5:25 "66 HP @ 3150 RPM" ... that's actually pretty high RPM for old car spex, I think.
I was thinking the same
Never heard anyone mention Kissel before . Ever hear of Blue Goose , Winton or Bay State ?
I’ve hear of winton I wanna make it my mission to cover all of the brands of car that ever existed especially the cars that never got talked about.. that museum has a lot of cool cars that are drastically overlooked and underappreciated..
Come Monday. RIP Jimmy Buffett
Yeah buddy
Mattskustomkreations just beat you for title
My favorite jimmy buffet song and I guess a tribute RIP jimmy buffet
Known means just that, someone bothered to document what was out there registered or not and has knowledge of it and shared that knowedge... It's a nebulous number, known is.
For instance, Jay Leno's Duesenberg X was thought lost, not counted as whereabouts not known, until it was found in a garage a few miles from his shop. Now it is counted as known...
About the wheels, the spokes stay on the car, the rim is attached to the tire and bolts on and off the spoked wheel...
'29 Jordan
'26 Diana
RIP Jimmy Buffett.
Great choices =)
Thank you so much for sharing all that information and insight I really appreciate it
good vid.
Glad you dig =)
Jay, half the time you're getting all excited about how nice the interiors are on cars and I don't think you realize that the majority of them aren't original. This car, as an example, has been completely re-upholstered with what looks like late 1970's velour to mimic what was probably originally called mohair.
How can you even make a comment like that from seeing a video? This was done in $90/yd wool mohair velvet- exactly what came out of it!
Jordan
Chandler of course.
Sweet choices =)
Jimmy Buffett "Changes in Latitudes"
Come monday
@@What.its.like. Ooops yes. I did a good job, considering I'd just gotten up & wasn't awake yet.
I missed the 1st time 10 minutes but another great video on anther beautiful car Jay.
14:05 Could that be velour seating material?
It very well could be velour
Hey Jay,
Is the Trunk just made of Leather?
Not sure it didn’t feel like a period material
@@What.its.like. keep in mind a lot of these cars are restored ,Do paint & Particulatly interiors are replaced so may not be exactly as when they were made originally
Beautiful car, and restoration. You look a bit tight in that front seat.
It was right in front but wasn’t terrible
I’m going to show the petals more often that was the last car that I shot that day I still have some in the pipeline that I have to get done
This vehicle has a princely presence. There are careful design touches on the interior. The reupholstery installation looked unfinished or poorly done.
I beg to differ this car was put together proper the interior was top notch I’m not sure if the material is the same material used but it was definitely high class
Come Monday jimmy buffet
Yeah that’s the song Mattskustomkreations just beat you for title

Looks like this was just a typing race….
Yeah I figured I made this one super easy I should have used an instrumental part seems those are harder =)
The fool called that honeycomb radiator a 'Fine Grille'. Zero automotive knowledge.
Your a real peach
