  • This is one series that will never get boring for me. Even as a younger guy, I find older cars much more interesting.
  • @wp.sworld.s
    So far this is my favorite one to actually see Ed Roth detailing in the back of that car it's mind-blowing thank you for all the videos that you do for everyone we really appreciate it
  • @Coacheslick
    Tom Cotter has the dream job of the century! VINTAGE CARS RULE!
  • @mathewkorn5008
    RIP Dewayne Neilson of Saint George. Thanks for all the help. You were one hell of a body man and a good teacher!!
  • Mike seemed tentative at first, but what a gracious guy to show you all his treasures. I was looking forward to seeing the engine in the back of that VW pickup.
  • @sailing8130
    Every episode should end like this one - engines 'a runnin'! There are only three channels on YouTube where I watch every minute. Another great one!
  • @s_wggns
    That Woody Tom drives is so amazing, looks like the perfect car to enjoy on a cross country trip. Also great episode, these truly never get old!
  • @MrMightyZ
    That woody gives me a... big smile! Beautiful! I always tell my Combi van owning mate to put a Japanese motor in his rattler. Here in Australia there’s a strong brigade of Volkswagen lovers who will tell you how durable their rattle-traps are and how often they’ve been around Aus but when you ask them how many motors they’ve been through, the truth starts forming. And don’t ask them what running repairs they’ve made unless you’ve got the rest of the afternoon to hear the answer. Were Volkswagens ever really durable? Because in the hot weather and rough conditions we have over here they don’t go well at all. Big mining companies don’t send their people across Australia in British, European, American or Australian cars if they want them to live!

    I love the radial T/A's on the van - straight out of the 70's - 80's.
  • @joebrown1382
    One of my favorite channels. Old muscle car guy from the 60's. Never know what Tom will find.
  • They are just jealous if that is all they have to hate on. You took on a huge daunting project and saw it thru to completion. Well as complete any of our personal projects will ever be. Fantastic job JR!! Fantastic!
  • @mariofalfan2997
    If that van could talk, actual running cars, what a great episode!
  • @ftby59mikeD
    Tuff search but Tom doesn't disappoint! The Coyote with a period correct metal flake paint job would be awesome!
  • @johnschutt9187
    Tom, I love your series. Thank you for finding and showing these cars to us.
  • @snappybonesify
    I was fortunate enough to have met ans spend more than hour talking with Ed Roth baxk in my early twenties. Great guy to chat with. Just sweet as could be but smoked like each one was his last.
  • @kenjsr1
    Great find!!! If I was a rich man, I'd make you an offer you couldn't refuse for that beautiful 40 Woody. Thanks for sharing !

    so enjoy watching people who have such a passion for cars and are lucky enough to be able to indulge that passion.
