Acetylene Gas Lights in a 1914 Chevrolet

"we might as well light the side lamps too. they're oil lamps, kerosene" Finally, the hidden meaning behind "blinker fluid"

Technology from 100 years ago never ceases to amaze me. Absolutely stunning.

So you're saying, blinker fluid actually was a thing

Truly beautiful. The simplicity and reliability from that bygone era is a stark contrast to today's plastic, overly complex automobiles.

Now I understand why people's say Old Is Gold. All the gold now can't buy this level of prestige that one felt in the early 20th centuries while driving this on a dark night. It's super cool.

Now imagine driving without pavement, stripes and reflectors.

Writing a WW1 novel--your short video was very helpful as i needed info about auto lights, thanks

Love the dog greeting him at the gate.

They were satisfactory, lets face it the car is about 106 years old, vehicles back then were not travelling quickly especially at night, the roads were not very good back you probably would not get over 20mph at night. I had always wondered what lights on these old cars were like so Thank You Kaydene O'day.

There is just something so charming/ romantic about lighting gas headlamps go for a night time ride.

The closest we will ever get to time travel is well preserved relics of the past. A car like this is a amazing example of automobile history and its great to see that ones like this still exist.

The light thrown off by these things is no joke. It is on the order of the light from a hundred-watt bulb! Just yesterday I sold an antique on eBay I have had for years. It is a carbide headlight on a fork that is part of a frame that holds a Presto-Lite tank and a wood handle. It was made to either bolt on a fender of a truck or motorcycle, and was also at the same time a hand-portable light! It makes a serious amount of light! I hated to sell it, but I am getting old and I don't want to just die with all my antiques!

Before the world got itself in a big damn hurry. ❤👍

No modern day light can beat this in terms of feeling what you get during preparation . Just amazing maybe modern day lights are more convenient , but that convenience have no match for this carbide lamp because the best part part is the preparation itself .just lov3 it😊😊😊😊❤❤❤

What a great car. I’d love to drive it.

People should make more pov driving at night videos of these classic cars. Takes you back to old days 💗💗 its amazing.

Nice ride and a good presentation. I appreciate the lack of blather as much as the knowledgeable and interesting how to.

a long time ago an old man showed me the way they used to light them with gas pellets and water . water dripped on the pellets creating gas which went along the pipe at the side of the vehicle next to the foot boards and the lanterns had hinges tovopen and light them . the light eas rubbish but the lanterns really where a work of art . thank you sir .

That is a beautiful car. And the lights are charming.

The gearbox gear tooth were still square apparently from the sound not helical.
