Deep in Virginia, Tom comes across the eclectic collection of Nick, a Tri-Five Chevy enthusiast. After a lesson on the differences between the distinctive Tri-Five taillights, we check out an assortment of other cars, including a Nash Metropolitan, a 1950s Chevy funeral flower car, and a variety of vintage VWs. Afterwards, Tom revisits an old Barn Find Hunting friend with a very unusual and luxurious 1930s Dodge.

    Hands down Tom is the only Hagerty show worth watching.. always a great video.
  • @davebarron5939
    The key is the kindness of car people, to open their personal facilities to you and us the public, so very good of them. Always a joy, thanks Tom.
  • @twistednipzz
    That dodge is insane. The fact that it's still together is astonishing

    15:14 - I'm not saying Tom doesn't know what he's talking about but what a lot of people see as survisors are actually frost shields. My grandfather pointed this put to me and he started driving when all these old cars were brand new. Almost no one had a garage to park their car. Maybe someone built some covered parking. But most cars stayed out doors all the time. The windshields were so flat as compared to today's cars, a shield over the top would keep frost and snow from settled on the glass, making it easier to get in and leave on a cold morning. Secondary benefit - served as a sunvisor.
  • Started out with my coffee on the couch this morning. Bleary eyed and slowly waking up. Click on the videos and fell in love with this video.AGAIN I realize !

This time I'll remember to click the like, and a shame we can't click everytime we rewatch a favorite!!! to help the channel. T/Y

    Oh and by the way...you never fail us in delivering good videos that hold our interest!!
  • Thanks Tom. What a lovely guy Nick is. Thanks for showing us your cars.
  • @nikstoun9478
    Every episode is a stroll through memory lane and it’s just astonishing. Just warm feeling inside. Thank you.
  • Tom you are one of my favorites, growing up as a little kid I always wanted to own a junk yard so to see you get to do what I want to do when I retire is great.
  • Long live Tri-Five Chevys! One of the most iconic and endearing cars ever made! Love them… ❤️
  • @vettekid3326
    First thing I thought of was that Dodge had to have been a police car with that dual gen setup. Even today many ambulances have dual batteries and alternators to power all the lights, sirens and radios along with the auxiliary HVAC system for the box.

    As always Tom You do the best….. Look forward to your show every time…
  • @markstopkey4085
    Oh what memories. I used to have a 67 Caprice, 2 door factory 427, bench seat, 4 on the floor where the shifter bent back over the seat, tilt, telescopic steering wheel and 12 bolt 3.23 posi.
  • So good to see you back out showing these amazing people and the car addiction Thanks Tom 👍👍👍
  • @SpaceTech54
    Glad you are out and about this summer - Thanks for Sharing.
  • Love it when Tom is on here. One of my favorite YouTube channels
  • @Oldbugssy
    Sweet '65 Beetle! Sweet everything! I like episode 118.
  • @Friedbrain11
    I'll take the Corvair. I love those cars. And the Caprice is yummy! I had a '67 Bel Air station wagon and it was one of the best cars I had among the cars I have owned. A '60 Apache 10 long bed pickup and a '63 Imperial Le Baron are some of the other cars that did not disappoint me and i would love to have back in my ownership. As for the Tri5 set, i prefer the '55. One of my brothers loves the '56 and the other brother loves the '57.
