"no music, no talking" instant like

Uninterrupted by talking or music, that is thye way to make a car video. Great car. Great video.
-
No music. No talking. My favorite ! Black Beauty sounds SO good !!
-
Amazing how sophisticated mechanically and refined this car is than a 5 year older 31 A.
-
Love the throaty V-8 sound!
-
Love to see a young person who loves and respects the history, instead of resto modding an old car, kudos, Craig!

When I was 15 1/2 , back in 1951, I started car shopping and found a '36 Three Window Coupe. My dad said, "no, no, no, because it had mechanical brakes. I ended up with a '40 Merc 4-door which I drove up and down the driveway until my 16th b/d when I was released on the public. Fun, Fun, Fun!!
-
And no cupholders, at least factorywise! Double thumbs-up if I could. There were still flatheads on the road when I was young. That old familiar sound...

In 1958 I had a 1948 "Prefect" English Ford that was a miniature of this Ford. It had 4 doors, 3 speed "on the floor" with a flat head 4 cylinder engine. It had the "herringbone front grill & the slant back. I enjoyed the crank out windshield. It got almost 40 mph. We couldn't afford photos & the only known photo I have was taken with a "Brownie" camera with my grandmother next to it. I had it until 1963. I replaced it with my favorite vehicle of all times, a 1955 Desoto.

Nothing like the smell and the sound of an old car
-
Much better than others. Most car sound videos are fan and belt noise, or open headers.
-
Thank you for not ruining this car. It's beautiful how it came out of the factory and you've done an excellent job at preserving and enhancing it.
-
When you grow tired of it, put it on a ship, send it to England, and I'll pick it up at Southampton docks. Job done.

Shifting gears is where the manly art of double declutching comes un handy!
-
No talking, just V8 sounds. What a youtube legend...
-
Old cars are neat in their own right, but the best part is their drive train! Love it! It's like a time machine.
-
What a beautiful car. And painted in the “most difficult to keep pretty” color. Hope it continues to bring you long lasting joy
-
Here in Argentina they were known as "La coupecita". They were used for races over long distances called "Turismo carretera". Beautiful sound of that Flathead. Greetings from Argentina.

Just love all about this, especially the sympathetic gear changing using two distinct movements., pausing in neutral to give the synchro a chance. I hate to see gearchanges as one harsh movement on any old car.
-
Wow what a great sound the old girl has! Thanks for taking us along for the drive - love that old 3 speed floor stick shift as well.
