My dad bought a brand new 1964 Buick LeSabre from Stewart Buick in Winston Salem NC. It was white with almost the same interior colors except the seats were vinyl and it was a 2 door. When the salesman brought it out, he parked it in an alley behind the dealership and left the motor running. Us kids piled into it to check it out. My brother with Downs Syndrome was 4 years old. He was so sweet. He grabbed the gear lever, pulled it into drive, and we plowed right into a telephone pole which put a nice dent in the front bumper. We had only travelled 5 feet but it dinged the chrome anyway. My dad being the generous soul that he was didn't even suggest to the salesman to put a new bumper on it. Dad's philosophy was when you get a new car, you might as well get a Tonya Harding out and ding it right away. That way you won't be dreading the time YOU ding it so bad. He was also a sweet man. I miss them both. By the way, we also had a 1956 Buick Special. The exterior was blue, white, and black. I love your channel. It brings back so many memories. I'm a fair bit of a mechanic myself being a fellette if I do say so myself. Keep them coming. I'll be a fan until I join my dad and my brother.

The thing about Buick being the poor man's Cadillac reminded me of a story a friend of my father's told me when I was a kid in the '80s. Dad's friend grew up in a mostly blue-collar Polish-American community in Massachusetts. He used to say that it was the custom back in his old neighborhood for a man to drive secondhand Chevrolets for his entire working life, and when he retired, the first thing he would do is buy himself a brand new Buick. The tradition was so common that all the men of his father's generation had to say about any mutual acquaintance was "You hear about George? He finally got his Buick," and everybody knew exactly what that meant.

When it comes to fixing the radio, the first thing you wanna blame in the audio world (especially when it's old) are the electrolytic capacitors. They are used in audio amplifiers, they have approx. life of 20-35 years, after that they just lose their properties and radio no worky. I had equipment that was 35 years old and it was literally half dead.

You did an amazing job on this car in such a short period of time. Thank you for all your dedication, this is the best channel of KZread.

Derek, it would be really neat if you could reach out to folks who pick up some of the classics that you rescue and restore and share with us how they ended up. Love the channel. It is a refreshing diversion from the absolutely insane world we live in today.

The Sprayaway cleaners are awesome! I thought the glass cleaner was awesome now they have it all. Even smells pleasant. Just like the Berrymans you use that is another great product in itself! Doesnt take long doing this work. You find a good product you stick with it.

Your approach Derek is typical Scandinavian matter-of-factly..no matter what. Lots of them around your area..Best car show ever! Greetings from Norway..

That turned out to be a cool go into town rig. Amazing how you can turn something many sees as junk totaly around. The patina paint is amazing😊

Again....Gotta love that Sprayway is sponsoring my favorite channel. Been using it since 87 when I got my first real job delivering auto parts. I went to buy some the other day and didn’t see it on the shelf. Somehow, someone bought a can and the rest got buried behind the other brand way back. I took it upon myself to fix that for them.
