As a 74 you vet, 65-69 I remember my granddad telling us how Cadillac would not sell to him because he WAS BLACK

I believe We won’t, “See the likes of this Greatest Generation-Again”…

Yeah, because you guys were a bit tardy in joining in. But we still love you. Great video

Read a Book on Ike Or Captain Eddie. Rickenbacker

That's because that generation of Americans killed fascists whereas my generation votes for them.

@@plymouth491 Lol. Who are you talking about? I think I have an idea but I want to hear it from you first.

I bet he's been in at least a couple of homes without electricity. As a lot of homes, especially on farms and rural communities did not have electricity till the 30s, or later, some not till after wwii. And those that were fortunate to have the new fangled electric lights, were served by cloth wrapped wiring run separately on porcelain insulators secured to the framework of the home.

@@Sparky-ww5re I'll bet your right. And the wiring your talking about, I've seen a lot of it and it is just scary to look at. Knob and tube wiring, but look at the other alternatives of the day. Kerosene lamps, candles or gas lighting. And all you could do with that was basically see in the dark! Electricity is still amazing today if you think about it

These old folks working together in their simple life and I just watched a healthy young man in the city say he never wanted to work just wanted the government to give him everything he needed.

magic words are: your own garden and your own chickens, not that shit people eat nowadays

There's videos on KZfaq and they say the same exact things we say today. One was adults being interviewed in the early 1990s.

I am asking my colleagues if we could screen this video in Washington, D.C for a Freedom fighter event! God bless white America!

Zeus does love America, doesnt' He?

The Americans was already 4 years late while the rest of the world had been fighting non stop , same as usual they came when all the hard work was already done by others

@@jimmyboynottknown7713 yeah as if America didn’t help at all

@UCjy4lALT09fc5Gpnb1BTriQ Very true! Life would feel hopeless for me. My life has been very hard but, I find my assurance, joy and hope for eternal life in Christ. He has helped me so much through this painfully cruel world.

Not far. We are still killing each other and fighting wars for no reason.

@@golden.lights.twinkle2329 I meant more from a technology aspect. Your right about useless violence. Powerful people wanting to hurt others when most of us are just trying to live our lives go to work and support our families.

Me too. My Grandpa and I were very close and watching these old codgers talk while helping each other reminds me of me spending time with him.

i think you coulda been born in the early 80's and still be a man, anything past that we get a bunch of girly men for sure. I was born in 81 and i feel like i've lived the best of both worlds, before tech & after.

Same here, that's all they need!!

@@thewriter2549 they are original only once

most "restoration" work does more harm than good... if it ain't broke don't fix it..!!! if it works don't screw with it..!!! "it's not what you do, it's what you DON'T do that's most important"!! I've always preferred "unmolested" original old cars..!!!

@@andymacdonald821 my dad has a perfect condition original Rover P5B. Restorations aren’t the same

@@andymacdonald821 i know where a beautiful 57 ford fairlane is, its kinda rusty, but i dont mind the rust on the original paint, it needs work to get her back on the road. but shes only all original once

So very well spoken and what this video is about, and which I wanted to show rather than say outright, and yes I believe they will.

I agree. These are the people who should be representing American ideals. These are the Americans I grew up with. Not these SJWS complaining about everything and not doing anything to improve things. Our cars and music represent the timeline of our lives. Now music is terrible but at least we still have our memories. One day we will be the great nation we were meant to be. And freedom will return. It will take hard work and a long fight, but one day it will be the great nation we are meant to be. When we did things our way, built our own cars our way, didn't let politicians tell us who we are and sang our own songs. That's American life

@@thewriter2549 Excellent video, thank you for sharing. God bless him. If you are trying to get the Caddy running it might be worthwhile approaching Derek from Vice Grip Garage? He’s very supportive of veterans and dam good at getting old rigs running after 40 years of sitting. I’m sure he would be willing to help.

​@@B2091 Please understand that the finished product of a running old Caddy is not nearly so important or eventful as the process and accomplishment of the work itself, which is being done right now by Walt's kids with help from neighbors and friends. Maybe this is a whole lot of what America has lost , that happiness comes from doing work with your hands, and not farming everything out and looking for somebody else to do your job. Walt himself is overlooking the build and a part of the going's on. He is interested and involved. This is a do-it-yourself family. Even today, they don't farm out plumbing or electrical work. They do it themselves. When Harry was 13 years old, his mom sent him next door to fix the widow lady's plumbing lines that had burst in her basement. This is the real America, still with us today, carved out of a wilderness.

@@thewriter2549 Fair enough, that’s great you are a hands on family, I wasn’t aware of that so I was just putting it out there to be helpful. I myself own and run a classic and get on with the work myself so appreciate where you are coming from. Best of luck with the build

May he rest in peace! God bless him!

Very welcome - and good to hear from you again - Ed on the Ridge.

Wonderful and fun, celebrate. 101,manyore please

I like the way you put that, "That's what freedom looks and sounds like."

THIS is how TRUE LOVE works!

And an America soon to be forgotten

Sounds like a good find, a '57 Chrysler. What is the series and body style and engine?

May he rest in peace, god bless him!

Yes, I agree, we will. He grew up in a family that got around in horse-drawn wagons.

From Model T's to Tesla's. These folks lived through a time of many technological advances. Wonderful production!

It's sad that in the real world no one cares about the elderly.
