Amazing. Car is nearly a century old and didn't run for half of it. And then: few bits and pieces checked, fueled up and off we go. Now try to do this in 70 years with ie. Toyota Prius...best of luck...

"Now try to do this in 70 years with a Toyota Prius....." Ha Ha, I like that comment. It is amazing that they got this car to run and it fired up on the first try. Where is the pride in America today? I work at a Sears auto service center and it seems like 50% of the cars are Asian imports.

italianguy192 Cars of any age or machinery in general is a form of technology. it is not that there is zero technology in this car, just that it contains the amount it needs to perform its function. Simplifying a mechanism makes it much less likely to malfunction. The fact that, at the time, most components were heavy duty steel, also helped. Cars like a Prius or any modern car, really, contain many parts to make them easy to use and comfortable for occupants or safe or environmentally friendly. They do require less maintenance but the simple fact is, in many years, the software and technology in them will no longer be understood or replicated. Because it was never intended to last a long time. Cars today are built from the start in the idea that they will be crushed and recycled into another car in 10 or 15 years' time. Old cars are still around because the people who built them were trying to make them as long lasting as possible. Even when broken, parts for them can be replaced or rebuilt because their purpose was purely mechanical and they had been built by people, as pieces of a system. Look at a modern engine bay and you'll see how tightly packed everything is. many parts are press fit together and the complexity is such that most people are deterred to even lift up their hood to check how their car is doing.. Back when this car was around, buying a vehicle was a commitment between you and it, wherein it would serve you forever as long as you took care of it. Greasing joints was very common, as was a periodical swelling of the wheel spokes to keep them tight. Priming the engine also helped. Do that, and your car would be a faithful companion to you always :)

Prius pieces of shit won't last a hundered years

@ Merle Morrison...car had sit for 50 years, we went through the motor, fuel system and brakes before we rolled it out and started it up. Worst we had found was the bakelite timing gear was stripped and #1 cylinder was stuck.

UPDATE...after 3 years of working out the bugs, I took it for a test drive. When I got back the radiator was leaking profusely. Hang in there. I'll get a driving video up soon as I can! :)

joe Costello Gonna be a while. In late October I thought was all set. Took on very short shake down cruise, found the radiator leaking. Cold set in before I could take it apart so will have to wait for the warm weather before I can get it fixed. Sorry.

+fuxgood Still waiting! This car fascinates me, I'd love to see it driving.

I'm not a "car person" except for loving design and history, but I really enjoyed this video. I look forward to seeing it on the road some day. Thanks for posting it!

Can you imagine.. After so much decades, the car still runs fine. Nowadays it's more like: "My car is four years old, but the stator already broken, it's runs rough, sometimes it won't start, the window mechanism doesn't move. it will cost a fortune to repair and I'm kinda lost what to do.." Nice car dude!!

I love how a 90 year old car starts up with just a little mechanical know-how, now you're expected to throw out a car once every ten years or so. I call bullshit on this.

+John Smith Some 90's vehicles just get too beat to shit to do anything with, whereas these vehicles actually have something left to rebuild on top of after so long. To say the automotive industry has changed is an understatement.

Thanks very much for sharing. Many years ago, I had a 1927 Standard 4 door & overhauled the engine when I was 19 or 20 years old. It really brings back good memories.

Has to be one of the kewlest cars on the web! It would be so wrong to do a restoration on this beauty. The patina, character and sound of this beauty has class in spades that no amount of chrome and fancy paint can ever have! It has a story to tell. Keep her oily rag clean and running and drive her as often and as far as you can so that you can add to the story. Well done that man!

I've looked for some time to find out the make of the radiator cap I have from my grandfathers attic in the 60's in Bradford Ohio. Thanks for posting !

I really liked your video. I have a '28 Studebaker Dictator 4dr 6cyl that I bought in 1963. It didn't run. Finally got it running Oct 2012 and drove it for first time to a car show. Won Most Original-Un-restored award. Like yours, it is the way it was, old paint and all---with money spent on only the mechanicals,canvas top, rechromed bumpers & radiator. Like you, intend to keep it as it was. Local newspaper reporter interviewed me and did an article about the car..Happy motoring!!!!

you do have a great treasure there with all that history. There are not many if none who can tell same kind of a story. Lucky you.

About 1946 I bought a 1929 Buick coupe looking identical to this one. I never drove it. Towed it home and found the rear brake drum worn clear through io 2 circle peices and no muffler. I sold it to my uncle for monies put into it. He got it running and drove it to Iowa. Out of sight-out of mind, Then got a 32 Chev and drove it 2 years.

What a beautiful old car. Cant wait to see a driving video of it.

Beautiful! A little dusty, but all the romance of the 20's & 30's is still there. A gem as is!

this car is beautiful thank you for getting it to run again. i love seeing old cars being brought back to life.

oh my god, that engine is music to me. Do not restore a single thing on her, just get rid of that nasty seat cover and give her a wash and smear. That noble faded surface should be held protected by a few layr of semimatte lacquer. God Bless American Cars.

Nice video. I love seeing old classics like this being brought back to life. Thanks for sharing.

American Pride. Very nice! Wish today we had the opportunity to make great cars again in this country. There are just a hand full of us that appreciate old American iron. Found a decent 68 Galaxie XL500 fastback that will be back on the road in a year or so. Thanks for posting

Very fortunate that your Great Grand Pop Pop kept this car at all. I will eventually try to find something like this, Maybe when I retire in a few years.

Thanks for sharing the video. I had a driveable '27 Buick 2dr sedan about 25 years ago. I see it once in awhile. The gent who bought it still drives it.

Great car. Glad to hear you are preserving it as original. I think it's more fun that way.

Couldn't agree more, Unrestored cars that run are much more interesting than a restoration with new parts.

It's in great shape and nice to see that the wooden wheels are not rotted.

What an amazing video! What a stunning car a true piece of family history and motoring history...I hope you restore her! That put a smile on my face all the way over here in England!

Oh there's a lot of things to love on this car. lol Thanks for the heads up. Will keep an eye on that for sure!

What a pretty looking car. Nice to see it still runs.

Great video, great car. Thanks for posting.

That thing is badass!! I love it when old relics of the past live once again.

I must smile when I see such a car. It still works after all those years. Incredible!

No problem. A lot miss the rebuild part. And agreed on both accounts...ran too good to be sitting for 50 years and it is a treasure. One that will stay in our family for many more years.

Simply pure beauty ! Hats off to you and your dad !!!!!

Wow, you are a lucky man. Don't ever get rid of it, and keep it protected and driving. That thing is awsome.

That is awesome! I love the classic styling. What an amazing relic.

We live on the east coast, right in the middle of the rust belt. This car survived for several reasons. Kept indoors all its life, last 30 years in a heated garage and in 1961 when it was last driven they didn't put salt on the roads in the winter like they do now.

1928 Buick sat 50 years and started up quick like that, and all of the lights still work. Amazing.

It's beautiful..how lucky you are to have a complete original car, looks like everything is just cosmetic to be fixed and then you are going to have an absolutely beautiful car. It's refreshing to see there are still families respecting the past..Carry on!

You, sir, are a gentleman and a scholar.

this is my kind of sat morning video, car sounds nice

I totally agree. Best of luck with it mate, I will be keeping an eye on your channel.

What a marvelous car so well proportioned

awesome! motor sounds real good.

Well sir, I'm happy to see you want to leave it as it is. I do believe you're older than I am, but I have a certain appreciation for what is basically a living breathing piece of American history. No telling the stories that car has. It took that car 84 years to earn that look, and I'm beyond thrilled you want to keep it just as it is.

Thanks. We love her bumps, bruises and all.

Wow dude this is amazing for it being stock still and running!

I would think with a complete rebuild it would certainly start. Nice job.

great job ! well done mechanics and video director ! i love that inline 8 sound ! kind regards from italy

That's amazing! A new paint job and some work on the wheels and interior and you'll have yourself a fully drivable piece of the golden age of America.

Damn... the car looks really really awesome and the sound is great to!

it's great just like it sits,thanks for sharing

Glad you got it running.

What a beautiful car and all Original, love it, sure would love to own a car like that. Great video.

this is awesome!! damn you are lucky to have this

Man i would love to have one of those.

Beautiful! I would leave it just the way it is. mechanically sound

Insanely jealous. I'm gonna look for an old car like that (saw one on craigslist). Beautiful car man, I grinned the whole video.

Nice job good to see it running

a real fantastic car thangs for load up this vid

The climate here kills the old ones. Great to see one brought back to life.

What a beautiful car, I enjoyed the video!

Thank you. We love her.

but I'm amazed you still have your great grandfather's car. that's pretty cool. All my family had of my great grandfather's values is the house he bought brand new in the suburbs (now inner city) in the 30s and the flat packed, IKEA-esque Cottage he built with hand tools, precut parts, and the instructions sheet in the 40s

Brilliant! Engine sounds sweet. I think it's great you're keeping it as it is. Some of the comments on this vid are hillarious. A lot of people don't seem to realize what has gone on to get it to this point. Good job

Great video! Great old car!

I like people like you c: Taking care of oldies. Ya know Oldies but Goldies :D

Great video, thank you for sharing!

So cool to have a relatives car and know the history of it. We do have some of my Great Grandmothers journals which documents many of the miles on the car. The journal tells all about where they took the car, problems that they had with it, etc. *They're original only once!

A piece of classic! Gotta love those 20s and 30s car

Fantastic this old car is fantastic!

You even know the original color to restore it to. What a fine automobile.

Its amazing the amount of craftsmanship that workers used to put into these cars. I had a 79 Blazer that was sitting for damn near 12 years. I went out there one day and did a little maintenance on the engine and cranked it up. Started the first crank. This is an amazing sounding vehicle. You wont see a fucking Mazda or a Kia doing this in 60 years....or 10.

I love an engine with that kind of metallic singing rumble.

You're so right...on all accounts. And not only do I own and drive his car, I was fortunate enough to get to know him well. He was a super nice fella and could build/do/fix anything even when he was in his 80's.

Lovely car you have!

So happy to hear that you don't want to paint it. It's a unique original car.

ok thanks, hope you get all you need and good luck on this car project.

that thing looks amazing

what a beautiful car, it would be so much fun restoring it

Started right up, and the engine sounds good. They don't make 'em like they used to anymore.

wow it runs beautifully!!!

wow. nice video. Thanks for this. just spectacular :-)

This car is a DREAM automobile project.

Love it mate, absolutely love it!

You have fabulous car there with magnificient history with in your family. I do hope you have brains enough to maintain the vehicle.

Wow that is Awesome! I like it just like it is, unrestored running perfect.

Looks like it dosen't even smoke!!! Great old car

Your gonna love the water pump if it has the packing rope on one side that you have to keep tightening to prevent water from leaking. The Nash design allows the leaking water to drip back into the engine oil pan.....learned my lesson the hard way, and now I just drain the radiator when I know she is gonna be sitting for awhile. Good luck on it.

DAMN! ITS still working! nice!

Wow, that's beautiful!!!

Beautiful machine right there!

This car is a Gold Mine. Take care of it !

I wasn't surprised it started that fast, but having all the lights still work after 50 years? Guess Buick knew what they were doing.

Smells like history spirit.

In Australia from 1948 through to 1962, the GM Holden car was powered by a small six cylinder OHV engine which was said to have been Buick based. The sound of this engine is familiar to the old Holden "Grey" motor which in its final development was I think 132 cu in. The side cover on the right side covered both the head and the block to the level of the cam followers. The cover had holes through it for the spark plugs and a gasket around each to keep the oil in. They tended to leak everywhere.

Fantastic!!! Love this kind of shit. Excellent effort sir!

What a lovely car!

Beautiful car

Incredible. AMAZINGLY beautiful...

great video thanks

now that is a piece of american history, thanks for the video

Sweet. Be great to see it running down the road.
