As a former Barris employee ('75-'81) I watched many of his cars grow old and deteriorate behind the shop in North Hollywood. It's really great to see them not only restored but improved as many of them really didn't run under their own power. That Pink Panther Limo took five guys to push while two guys wrestled the floor jack to steer it !!! The stories that go along with these cars are lost forever along with the legends who lived them. Many thanks to Dave and the crew at Galpin for keeping the flame burning.

I am 69 years old and I had never seen so many jewels together. thanks for showing

Some iconic auto memorabilia and badass rides. Thanks to Chad and Jolene for taking us along.

In my lifetime I have never seen anything like this before what a beautiful collection of history and thanks to you and Jolene for showing and sharing this to your diehard followers

I was privileged to see some of these cars at custom car shows, and built plastic models of them as well. Thanks for the memories. 75 and still riding motorcycles and enjoying all things custom.

That is one of the most awesome collections I have ever seen! So many awesome rare cars. The best of the builders back in the day wow! The names that he was throwing out are unbelievable unbelievable

Hats off the the folks at Galpin for restoring and preserving custom car culture, amazing collection.

Most-important collection I've seen. Brings back childhood model-building memories.

This was an amazing video. I met Roth when I was 14. A buddy of mine bought one of his trike kits and when we went to the shop in Maywood Roth was getting ready to head out with a bunch of his buddies on a bike trip. Told us to come a long. You can imagine what my 14 year old brain was saying. Later I met him again in Buena Park. He was painting for Knott's then and used the print shop next door to the Auto Parts store I worked at. That was where I also met Von Dutch. He was working/sleeping down the street at Car's of Stars. He was definitely a interesting person to talk to. He talked about build a house out of stainless steel so it would never rot or rust. This really brings back so many memories of my youth. Thank you Chad.

Thank you, Chad, Jolene and David for letting me join your walk-through and talk. This collection is amazing but to also to have the back-stories, makes it all the more special. There is so much information there I'm pretty sure that I've got to watch this a few more times. Thanks again.

WOW!!! I grew up with "most" of these cars during the time these were "new" customs , I was one of those "kids" attracted to the car shows due to these cars. It has been a lifelong love! It is great that someone has given the care needed to retrieve, rebuild and give the love to keep them going for the future. Thank you!

That dude is cool and his shop is incredible. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks Chad & Jolene for the tour. Growing up a car nut in the 50's I remember most of these cars from the little custom car magazines I got from the local drug store magazine rack. I had the pleasure of meeting Ed Roth and George Barris at the local Cavalcade of Customs where I was an exhibitor. I had so much respect for both men even though their businesses were very different. For Big Daddy Roth unfortunately the clock struck 12 for him a few months later. It's great to see some of their creations in one place.

What a lovely surprise,. A Jolene cameo...in chrome no less! Well done Chad & Jolene and your host Dave at Galpin Speed Shop, yet another amazing episode!!

I have no words for how blow'n away my mind is after your amazing tour . I'm calling ALL my friends ! THIS IS A MUST SEE ! MUCH RESPECT TO ALL !

Mr Galpin , Roth, Barris and all the amazing builds in one place! Wow!

I grew up in this era and according to me this was the best time for hot rods and imagination in cars

What an amazing place, thanks again for taking us...👍. Brilliant camera work as usual.

Wow ! Great to see Big Daddy and Rat Fink . Brought back memories as a kid . So much history in that building. Thank you.

What an amazing collection, and Dave's knowledge and history of each car is fascinating, not to mention personal stories behind so many of the cars and bikes. I really appreciate him taking the time to share so much with Chad and Jolene's channel.

I haven’t had a video force me to smile and say “that’s frickin awesome!” in so long I forgot what it felt like. That is, hands down, one of the coolest collections I’ve seen. I can’t believe how many of those I had as models or Hot Wheels as a kid. Thanks for this.

Fascinating custom history. So enjoyable to hear the stories. Thanks a bunch!

So happy to see you Chad !!! I had no idea you had a site.. i watched as many episodes that I could on television here in NEW ZEALAND... I know I missed a couple.. then i lost track of y'all.. Today I found this in my feed coming in from utube.. believe me, Your one of the greatest design and builders also. I'm over the Moon to have found you again. I instantly subscribed. You inspired me so much.. Thank you for being you !!!!!!!!! 👍

Excellent quality show.Thanks to both of you for taking us along the history of custom cars!👍👍

Whether it's a canvas, photo, sculpture or a custom car the creativity and workmanship is mind blowing. Thanks to Dave Halpin for sharing these works of art with us and to Chad and Jolene for making it happen

Chad & Jolene absolutely loved seeing so many iconic & beautiful cars! His place is definitely somewhere that would motivate a builder to be inspired & wanting to get to work on creating a vehicle. Chad I bet that being there makes you want to get home and get to work on creating something! Jolene thank you for taking us along once again, you did a great job on making sure we got to see everything.This was as usual a great video by you!

This is some of the absolute best camera work I've seen on KZfaq! So many content creators screw up their camera work, nausea-inducing fast panning, they don't stay on something long enough (so I have to ride the space bar), or they don't zoom in on interesting stuff, etc. etc. Five stars for Jolene. Amazing.

This is just awesome !!!!! Thank you so much for this tour . I´ve build the following model kits of the cars displayed and mentioned in this video : Uncertain T, Tweedie Pie, The Mysterion, Beatnik Bandit, Outlaw, The shop truck, Milk Truck and lots more . I am a big fan of Steve Scot ( which actually have commented in this tread ), Ed Roth, Barris Bros. and Von Dutch .

Some truly amazing artistic and outrageous vehicles from the World of Movies and Entertainment Industry. Many thanks To Dave, Chad and Jolene for this wonderful video,

That's one of the most unique car collections on Earth. I could die happy in that place.

Outstanding collection of custom car history

Wow,what a tour of an absolutely awesome place, so glad to have seen this ! Thank you, thank you ,thank you!

Will be waiting on the build to start again

Wow .. I was all of a sudden transformed back to a 15 yr old child checking out all these amazing cars from my youth ... Thank you so much Chad for the video and to Dave for taking such great care of these treasures..

This place is more than a old car museum. its a bunch of lifestyles and talent all in one place.. 90% is from my teens and its astounding that the originals and the rebuilds are brought back to original standard for all to love n enjoy.. i Love Chads ability to talk to anyone on every different level and get them telling stories of back then.. Jolenes video leaves nothing to the imgination. ive seen things in these cars weve never seen before TY Jolene .. 5 star everything..im a 60's teen n im in heaven still.

Awesome place thanks for bringing me along beautiful collection.

Looking forward too watching 👀 this Great stuff 👍 😎

There isn't a museum on the PLANET that has anything close to whats in this building! There isn't a real car guy that doesn't know who these guys are, and what they made that catapulted them to stardom. To have it ALL is incredible, and to restore each one exactly the way it was... mere words cannot describe. Thank You SO much for a perfect video, this really means alot! 😎

ABSOLUTELY A M A Z I N G!! Thanks so much for these two videos. Galpin Speed Shop is the repository of much of my childhood dreams and visions. SO COOL. When I was in high school in L.A. (Hamilton) I shot photos of custom vans at Galpin in Valley...and saw Barris' shop. Now, as a 68 year old retiree in SW France, I could relive so much via video. What a collection of talents and cool stuff!!! Words are insufficient. Dave Shuten has created and curated kar kulture mekka....its f-kin awesome. Merci beaucoup to Bad Chad, Jolene, Dave and everyone involved in getting this made. I'm a happy

loads of childhood dream cars and builders all under one roof want to thank dave for keeping this collection and allowing us in with bad chad and jolene .i built a few of them cars as model kits when i was just a wee whipper snapper so so cool .thanks as always great content no amazing content jolene thank you .

Thanks to people like this guy the car/custom car world will live on!!!

That place is just amazing... I would walk around in there for days on end, getting down on the floor to see how things were done...

That total collection is most definitely cooler than DANG IT!! ✌️😎 Thanks for sharing....

All I can say is WOW!! Those cars and history are awesome. Thanks for taking along with you guys @Jolene. I would be in heaven as much as Chad was. Awesome video!!!

Thanks Chad and Jolene for this video. I remember most if not all shown here.

Thanks for the tour love the cars really really nice work on all of them amazing. Tell Dave we said thanks and thank you and Jolene God bless.

Build it and THEY will come. You’ve already built it,so open the cool car museum!!!!! Thanks for sharing

Awesome guy. Amazing cars. Thank you for sharing this with us 👍💯🙏

Dave Shuten and Beau @galpin are show rod treasures. If you haven't been there make the trip you won't regret it!

Thank you Dave, Chad and Jolene for a wonderful tour!

Absolutely fantastic!

Absolutely fascinating ! Gems from my youth !! Oh, to visit this museum of eye candy !!!

Meeting George before he passed will forever be one of my greatest achievements. A child hood friends dad passed and ive always heard storys of him being big in the car world. Being a stunt driver for the original dukes of hazard. Racing in nascar. Building old hotrods. All i seen was a older guy that owned a little tiny garage. But at his small funeral just friends and family to see george walk in brought every story ive heard come true and it was mindblowing.

Watched you for years! This one ranks up there as one of the best! Hope you got plenty of ideas to add to your collection!

Wow, I really enjoyed this video of really cool cars!!! Thanks Chad and Jolene on the camera for a great tour of some really cool cars!!!

Wow hard to believe they exist,,,,workmanship is truly amazing and inspirational

Chad make sure your zipper is up the next time!!!!!!!!!!🤣🤣

Used to work with Dave and would see this collection daily. I was his parts guy. I've seen a lot of vehicles' he's worked on some not even in this collection. Was there from 2010-2022. The Grasshopper was my favorite build of his.

These cars are sure in the right hands, I built a lot of these models. American Classics. I live 30 minutes north of Detroit and always went to the Autorama in my teens 1975 to 1980, and yeah we went to see the crazy stuff, just an insane collection of Barris classics. Todays new generation just doesn`t get these old crazy customs, we had a space race going on in those days, and for me as a kid to see a car with a domed bubble roof recreated the Jetsons, stunning collection to say the least.

Thanks for saving these cars; and sharing them with us!

So much for bringing me to this Museum to see all these lovely beautiful cars you guys are an inspiration to the muscle car Chad is a very very talented man and I love watching your videos and I will continue to as long as you bring them on so keep on keeping on guys love you

Incredible, thanks so much for taking us on this tour..

so lucky to work amongst those cars the inspiration is flowing

That was definitely a tribute to some of the great car guys.

One of the most impressive private museums ever!! Thanks Chad & Jolene & Dave!!

The only beauty missing in this video is the one behind the camera but what a great job she did with this recording! One of the best if not THE best walk throughs of this collection that's available. Chad and Dave's conversation throughout is almost as rewarding as the footage, the cool tidbits of historical and background info is amazing. Thanks so much Chad, Jolene and Dave for making and sharing this.

I like the respect shown to the owner and the vehicles. I also respect the owner for staying true to his goals getting the vehicles back to their former original glory. I remember being a kid - George Barris were a true custom and show builder. I think George Barris would appreciate the collector making the cars work. I can't but like people doing something because they can. Having fun enjoying what you do - that makes people happy.

Wow awesome cars I do wish it was open to the public... I would love to see them in person. Thanks Chad

This is the Dream car garage of kids born in the 60's what an amazing collection, your restoration of these cars is incredible thank you for saving these cars...Bad Chad needs to get up on the history of these cars I can't blame him he lives out in the boonies and is a lot younger than the guys who built these cars

Unbelievable. All the stuff I used to drool over as a kid, all wrapped up in one place. I would lose my mind over a chance to see this place in person. Bad Chad, you were blessed to see it all in person. Thanks for sharing. Danny Mac. Fullerton, CA

There is no shortage of car collections on youTube. I have to admit, if I had a collection it would certainly be of stuff like this. Sure I might have a GTR in there and a few other favorite "normal" cars, but stuff like this is always has a story to tell. I also appreciate the Jay Leno approach of making them all drivable.

So many beautiful collection! WOW!!!

Much respect to the galpin family organization for preserving this stuff. Saw a Roth display at the Peterson where a photo showed chicken wire being used as the foundation for a custom body.. they also showed the rotar, which was only displayed for the last three days of the show, after some negotiations to secure the viewing, where it had wooden propellers , and a story about part of a blade flying off at the first public showing and killing a guy, never to be used again. The city where he had his shop in still crammed with auto shops, I get my corvette fixed in that town. Photos of Roth of working back in the day showed a pretty scroungy looking dude, the type of guy the people who now pay big money for his cars would avoid as low class. His personal grooming became an issue with his sponsors after the model kits started attracting kids to the shows , so he changed into a top hat and tails, with the top hat becoming his trademark. he believed trikes were the future of personal transportation, so he stopped building cars completely, building only trikes from then on.

Awesome !!

Thanks for sharing such an amazing collection.

It is a big WOW factor at Galpin, thank you for the tour!

Fred Gwen was a relative of My grandmother, he drove the monster car. Lol It’s nice to see the old style comic cars. I guess it’s a good name for them still around. Kids nowadays have no clue about how it was when we grew up. Thanks for taking us on a tour.

Chad being extra aware of where his hands are and not touching anything. thats respect.

OK, I had to go take a cold shower after that tour. That summed up my childhood with those cars. I am blown away by how many of those iconic cars and memorabilia are there ( and were in my poster and photo collection as they are still to this day ). When I die I plan on haunting that shop/showroom truly my heaven.

Hi Chad and Jolene from Trois-Rivieres Quebec

Wow, like a super Autorama in Detroit. Back in the late 60's, 1968 I was 16, I would see these at the Autorama. 1970 in high school we would catch the bus on Michigan ave. in Dearborn and ride to Detroit to Cobo Hall.Had an instamatic camera and would take pictures of paint jobs. Still have the pictures to this day. The paint jobs where fabulous at Gapin, what a collection , I am 71yrs old.

Just an amazing custom car collection from one of the greatest eras in automotive creativity. Thanks for sharing this collection with your viewers.

These two shows have shown us so much history of unusual and unique talent that crosses generations. Thanks for taking us along Chad and Jolene.

I was fortunate enough to see many of these cars at the Galpin Ford showroom. These are only a small section of their collection!

Amazing.... didn't know some of those cars were actually real ... Wow .. awesome collection 👍

Chad is possibly the most respectful human being on earth. His reverence and respect for craftsmanship is contagious. Love the guy.

Chad to have something that you put hands on in that room really is a testament of your work and respect in the community. Congratulations and stay blessed.

What a fantastic place. It's great someone knowledgeable is maintaining and protecting these works of art for future generations. Thank you for sharing these with your viewers. For most of us it's only way we would see them. We'll done!

As a 74 year old Englishman in London, this took me back to a childhood infatuated with all things American especially cars, due to my family’s early connection to many US Navy (all high ranking officers) families billeted around Wimbledon where I spent my childhood. They all brought their personal vehicles over during their time stationed here so I got to be a passenger in my fantasy cars, ‘56 Fairlane, T Birds, BelmAirs, Impalas, etc.

This car collection brings back memories of my childhood and began my love of custom cars and motorcycles. Thank you for sharing this one of a kind slice of history...

Absolutely impossible to comprehend all of those in one place. My favorite collection I’ve ever seen!

Now thats a cool collection. I like the part of them being original. Now Chad can build something cool after they get back from Australia.

As a kid, I saw a few great customs on the World of Wheels tour. Absolutely nothing like this collection . Simply Awesome

Great collection. I'm am 77 year old Southern California Kid so your collection means a lot to me. Thanks for sharing.

So glad these are here. I remember when they were new. Saw Hirohata Merc in mag when was talk of car world

I remember so many of those from the magazines and the model kits. It does my heart good to see the real cars so well preserved.

My first Rat Fink Shirt I Got from Ed Roth at the Flea Market that used to be in the old race track they filmed a lot of TV Shows in the 70's and 80's. I still have the shirt. I used to hang out at Georges shop as a kid. I actually sat in one the the Batmobiles he had there. The Monkeys Mobile is what caught my attention and I would do what ever just to be around there. Seeing this collection hit home with me. The last time I saw George was at the Auto Rama in Cleveland many years ago. We talked for a long time. So many great memories from both Ed and George. True Inspirations to me.

Thanks so much Jolene for taking us along with you and Chad... AMAZING COLLECTION!!!!

love seeing arguably one of the worlds best car builders take a look over other builders creations ,Bad Chad in my opinion is real ,no BS type of a fella ,Chads lady is just beautiful it would of been perfect to have a picture of her in that pink panther car

Dutch was good to me and people he liked ( Kenneth Harvey ) he taught me how to stay with it and become a striper. I was 15 when I saw the Car Craft magazine ( small format ) featuring him when he worked in a body shop. He sent me letters on how to mix paint, brushes and so forth. I'm 84 now and still stripe here in Hawaii.
