Robert Tiscione Lmao 😂

I can't wait to see the dashcam.

i have tractor like that crank to start, diesel with cilinder 130mm,in year and half how long i own it i managed start it only two time

When I was kid, the guy next door, who was just graduating HS, had a Renault Dauphine, which was supposed to start electrically, but the battery was dead half the time, so he had to use this big crank that was shoved onto a square shaft above the rear bumper. His effort probably generated more horsepower than the engine did when it got up and running.

Crank-to-start?! Cars are made by countries other than France you know.

@@berendoldenburger The USSR made the old жигули with an option to start it with a crank if the electric starter failed.They gave you options if their components broke down just like lamborgini with their power windows in the 70s and 80s

Neither did you. After 1912 most companies switched to electric ignitions 😂 and I’m assuming you aren’t over 110 years old

Well , just go visit 1949 - 1950 and bam! You’ll see it in your garage in no time.

😂

That's how they did it back at this time.

Imagine base jumping or skydiving with that GoPro!!!!😬

Everything was only possible because of the post-war economic boom, before Republicans started to give tax cuts to corporations instead of working people

They certainly could do it but there's a little thing called planned obselence that needs to be taken into consideration 🙂

The last oldsmobiles were junk thats why gm got rid of them.

@@avdgaming3550 You don't understand how companies work.

Gm got rid of the company because it wasn't selling well if they continued making them they would get bankrupt alot

@@avdgaming3550 There you go, much better. Except the "get bankrupt alot" part, that still doesn't make sence. Yes GM dropped the Oldsmobile brand because it was no longer profitable.

@Larry M. Good car. 3.8L series 3 engine? My last oldsmobile was a 2003 Alero 2dr 5 speed but I've also owned a 1991 Cultass and an 1989 olds 88 royal.

@@peggypeggy4137 so true

Bro I'm gonna force my sister to marry some rich scumbag who only loves her for her body and she'll get him to invest in a car company I start so I can buy the Oldsmobile and Pontiac names and make new Oldsmobiles and Pontiacs.

Friend of Dorothy I see that here in NC when it’s 40-50 degrees out. Guess now a days it’s a lot easier with heated seats and such to stay warm and still enjoy the open air

If I've learned anything from youtube comments, it's people were TOUGH back then. They didn't whine about the top on their new convertible being stuck down. They just sucked it up and dealt with it.

It was so easy to drive that even a woman could do itl

Oppressive female clothing! Thank god for the feminist movement! Can't double clutch in high heals! Restrictive footwear made last minute braking difficult too!

@@UmmYeahOk Believe it or not, until relatively recent times, women were,in general, believed to be intellectually deficient. Their brains were thought to be somehow weaker even though structural differences weren't visible.

hydro meaning the torque converter fluid in an auto transmission. genius marketing team i'd say

This car is automatic It's systematic It's hydromatic Why it's grease lightning! The truth is, companies started copyrighting names for such technologies. I think Packards were "ultramatic."

The torque converter and all the valves and controls were hydraulically operated.

Hunts By Chainsaw honestly, given the time, I bet the automatic top, AND power windows were also hydraulic. I think some cars even used brake fluid for that.

@@UmmYeahOk Yes it was quite possible. I'm not familiar enough with this car but in some cars the brakes, suspension, and power accessories all used the same hydraulic fluid.

i thought it was build in 90s, im very shocked :v

Yeah D:!!!!

They were probably hidraulic not electric.

‘48!

@@TheAllMightyGodofCod Might have been vacuum powered, as were the wipers on a lot of cars back then. But electric windows were also in use back then, even with 6V generators ; GE was touting them in their "electrify everything" promos .

Back then consumer surveys implied seat belts said the cars weren't safe!

It was hard to sell safety features because you had to remind the buyer that a car might potentially be dangerous. It would be like a restaurant selling medication for food poisoning.

Chrysler tried to make a safe car and it almost devoured them, the car was called the 1939 chrysler airflow it was actually almost as safe as most cars made in 2019. but it had wretched fuel economy at 6mpg in town and 12 on highway. It had a heavy thick welded steel roll cage and safety plate glass that when broken busted into tiny crumbs instead of 5 inch daggers. The car didnt have an air bag( wasn't invented yet) but had seatbelts and both mirrors standard. The car sold poorly and cost so much to make chrysler almost went bankrupt. The other car makers saw this and were spooked.

The Tucker Torpedo also had a safety glass windshield that would pop out in an accident, seat belts, disc brakes, a sponge rubber dash, and it had a headlight in the middle of the grill that turned with the steering wheel to help light up the curves when you were driving at night, and it would do 130MPH in a car built in 1949! There's a movie called "Flash of Genius" about the guy who invented the intermittent windshield wiper and while that's not really a safety issue it's a pretty cool car movie I'm sure you guys would appreciate if you haven't already seen it.

🤥

@Roy Futrell yes.

Devil's work I tell you.

I like this car although it may be possessed by satan himself

Sedan-Japanese SUV-Japanese Sports Car-Corvette with 6 speed

It's steam, not smoke. Exhaust smoke never was or will be considered "healthy car" . Duh.

That's because the future ain't what it used to be.

Yes to all. It is sad (especially for those who died needlessly) that it took decades to invent the collapsible steering column. Dual reservoir brake cylinders, side impact beams, and seatbelts...all should have been on the 48’s. Ok, a few years of delays can’t be avoided, but decades of delays?

Freedom Air Conditioner it's 2019, and even brand new school busses don't have seat belts. These things travel highway speeds. At least they FINALLY now have AC! Priorities.

Child safety is a priority. School bus seatbelts are not as clearly beneficial as car seatbelts. In many cases they increase injuries in a crash, it’s more of a 50/50 thing whereas in a car it’s a 90/10 thing.

Freedom Air Conditioner the biggest problem is getting children to wear them, which is why they should be optional for passenger use, as enforcing would be a nightmare. Adults ride on school busses too, and high schoolers can also run 16-19yo. You can still attend high school until your 21 technically. But I remember as a kid, to punish some unruly boys, the driver slammed on his brakes. A good child, I was sitting exactly how I should have. I flew forward. The seat back in front of my stopped my body, but my head kept going. My neck caught the edge of the seat, and my thought hurt for several hours after that. This was only like 30mph. Had the driver been going faster though...? Then, one time, I was sitting at the very back of the bus, because, for some reason, that was supposed to be the best spot. A different driver, made a sharp right turn. The rear tire drove up the curb then back off of it. When that happened, I was launched out of my chair and onto the dirty floor. My legs were crossed when sitting, and they were still crossed in the floor. I was stuck, and had to use what little upper arm strength I had to pull myself up. Both these situations occurred when we were only going 10-30MPH. A lot of roads in our town at 45-50. And any school field trip or extra curricular would use the 75 mph highway. That’s right, the speed limit is 75. I don’t see how a simple lap belt would be more dangerous for a child than nothing at all. Maybe if the buckle hit them at such speeds. So retractable belts, like what modern cars have, would be needed.

75 mph? Wow that is so not surprising. I just did a google search and only 6 states mandate seatbelts for school busses. It’s because, like I said earlier, they’re not too proven.

It’s cool

@@Tywild327 Thanks for that. I wish my mom were still alive, I'd tell her! She'd get a kick out of that.

Да нет, осень же. Все в польтах и шляпах.

é mesmo

I avoid buying old cars with hydraulic options -- esp. windows -- b/c the cylinders have, or soon will have, suffered seal blowouts inside the doors. Imagine fixing or replacing electric window motors, but these have plumbing fittings and leak goo.
