When someone tells a story usually the Model T is the pinnacle of old. Then someone comes along and says they upgraded TO the Model T and still have the car we upgraded FROM.

Hi Tom, love the show, love the stories and all the very cool people you meet. Love what this show is all about, very cool stuff. Wanted to share a quick little story myself. My father lived in San Diego years ago, bought a 1967 MGB, imported it into Canada when he moved back here. The car was in our local Expo 86' and he drove it up here for a few years. Once he decided to settle down and start to have kids, (my sister and myself) he made the decision to park it. I grew up with it sitting in my garage and wanting to get it running one day and drive it again. As with most British cars, it had electronic issues, the carbs were in need of a rebuild, and the old fuel in the tank eventually rotted it's way trough the old metal and onto the garage floor.so the last time I remember seeing the car it definitely needed some love, little did my parents know that I would grow up to become a car guy and a mechanic. He ended up finally parting ways with it in the mid 2000's and had to watch it drive away on a flat deck trailer instantly regretting his decision to sell it. Well, he is retiring this year and I thought of this crazy idea to find the car, and buy it back for him. I did about a months worth of digging and phone calls to people Id never met in my life to ask them if they could point me in the right direction of the current owner.. I eventually found it. Confirmed the vin and registration number over the phone with the current owner, who told me that it has had somewhat of a restoration on it and he has been driving it during the summer and keeps it stored indoors during the winter, and here's the kicker... It's for sale! It is about a five hours drive north from where we are located in south western British Columbia. I brought my evidence to my dad and told him I found it, we are going to take a look at it as soon as the snow melts and the highway up to salmon arm is clear. I have some photos that the current owner has sent me and if you'd like to contact me about this story and see the car feel free to send me an email. 😊 blainedavies01@gmail.com Again, huge fan of the show and happy hunting! ✌️

With regard to the tiny 'double bubble' engine I have an old LJ80 Suzuki tray top 4wd restorer, I think from memory it is 1975 vintage and has an 800cc engine. They are great little trucks which are still in high demand in Australia because they will go anywhere and have a reputation for 'climbing walls'. They are quite popular as general purpose vehicles on vineyards because they fit neatly down rows of vines.

My neighbor had a Simplo in her garage that her father had restored. If I remember correctly it was from 1903. Had lanterns for lights. I only got a picture of it when it was being loaded out of the garage and put on a trailer by the son of the father and when it was under clear plastic. It's incredibly rare. I wonder what it's worth.

Tom, you gotta do a dedicated show for the strangest, oddest, and eccentric designer/engineering faux paghs. You're always coming across these in your travels, and many different makes & models have either been elevated to greatness, or quickly discontinued by company owners or the corporate boards to satisfy investors, halt declining sales, or even refocus consumer attention away from unproven propaganda like Ralph Naders book about the 1961 Chevrolet corvair. After all that the general public, especially automobile enthusiasts like us have learned since the wrongful and untimely demise of a great car, and concept like the rear engine, flathead 6,which by 1969 had become about 2 decades ahead in it's aerodynamic, fuel efficient, well engineered , well designed, and safe investment, I would hope that someone with an automotive background like yours would love to be showing what worked an what didn't during our century long journey to where we are?!

The early Pinz is a 2.5l four cylinder, air-cooled, gasoline engine. It's a proprietary, in-house design and not terribly powerful and is somewhat hard to tune, as the carbs (two) have to be synced properly. There was switch to, I think, a VW 6 cylinder diesel much later. Surely an improvement.

Safari tops do not let air into the passenger compartment. They create a venturi effect with the air being compressed between the two layers of metal that makes the air flow faster in theory cooling down the roof and ceiling of the car helping to cool down the passenger compartment.

The Crosley is a 1950-52 model make standard. The supers had roll down windows and a different grill. That model is a bit of odd bird in collectibility because the previous model run the way look different and are more desirable in that run and year. 9 to 1 compression ratio. 3 speed Un synchronize gear box and a general early 30's chassy build (two solid axels with leaf springs). tillerson carb 1 barrel carb (which were mostly found on snow mobiles and lawnmowers) ps the engine hates carters doesn't like the..... what ever it is that when you pump the gas pedal to start. The engine would be a cibra. Cast iron block. Originally post war Crosleys (46-49) had a Cobra (which may consider with the naming of the Shelby due to a 10 year death of copyright law) copper braised aluminum engine that ran a generator on the PT boats in the pacific theatre. Crosley bought the patten of the army (or who ever) and used it in his cars. After selling (mid war) his radio/appliance company to chase his dream of car building (remember your there with a Crosley). It had maybe 23 hp new...? Braje made a kit to increase hp on Crosley engines and brought the top speed up from 56 (on a good day going down a hill with the wind at your back) to 90ish. Crosley went bust in 52. Most station wagons built in the us in 48. First car to have hydroladisk brakes. Though don't run salt puddle with it because they only pinch from one side and would rust solid. Last car to have mechanical brakes. And a damn fun car to drive. Many classic car fans had these cars as thier first back in the mid 50-60's. A used one cost about 15-125$$ in those days. And I have seen the tax statements to prove it. Parts are easier to find than one would think. Crosley uses parts from bendix to other easily sourced parts. Most electrics can be sourced form the jeep community (auto lite). Not to mention the community has 3 main suppliers of parts and hard to find items. A word of warning. The active Crosley community is more of a family. Very welcoming kind and a real beautiful example of human nicesness if one dose not want to call it love. So if you are a @&$& or a @&$ or a &&!?!?. Don't buy a Crosley or come to a Crosley meeting. Will all look and you and wonder what is his problem. But if your not any of those things then remember "Crosleys make you smile" and "Crosley. A Fine Car".
