The glorious past of American Iron long gone but will never be forgotten 😊👍💯❤️😍💋🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

My sister and I use to count how many 4 hole Buicks we saw on the road during vacations. We saw a lot of them!

That 53 Pontiac tin Woody is absolutely phenomenal

A guy named "Mack Daddy" driving a pink '52 Chevy, that's as gangster as a classic car show in the Midwest can get

How can time "forget" anything? Beautiful cars, incomprehensible title.

I live in Elkhorn Wisconsin which is about 5 minutes from Delavan and this car show is truly great and the lake setting is unbelievable. I go every year and I recommend it

I remember the "Crusin Grand" on Friday nights in Escondido in the summer. All those classic cars--wow!😊

Neighbor had a 56 Buick when I was coming up. The speedometer was really unique. It was linear not round and had a red bar that moved left to right indicating the speed.

My family had a 56 Buick Special 2-door Hardtop, just like this one, only in white and yellow. It was absolutely gorgeous. Easily the best car my family ever owned. It really was SPECIAL.

Absolutely gorgeous, looks like what a perfect world would look like to me, perfect setting and the best cars on the planet

I'm always in heaven when I get to see the classics.

I feel so blessed to have been a kid during this time. now all cars look alike

I attended this great show last year. 2016, This same woody wagon was here. This lake location is fabulous. I took my 2010 Corvette Grand Sport to the show. Great cars and great food. People were really nice....will go again in 2017.

The '56 Buick was one of my Grandpa's cars that I learned how to drive in the late '60's

Time will never forget these cars. Simply the Best ever

It amazes me how much thought and time and consideration was put into each & every car from the 50's........ and they all turned out gorgeous in their own rights.

The Buick skylark is a work of art

that 53 pontiac, people would do anything to own a car like that, very nice

Thaw was a nice 53 Pontiac Tin Woodie. My mom had the sister car, the 53 Chevy Tin Woodie with automatic power glide tranny and power steering. It was really a nice car.

My favorite car is the 1956 Buick Special hands down. Buick is my most favorite GM built car.

I grew up near Delavan Have stayed at Lake Lawn Lodge. I have been to this shore when it was in town. Takes me back a bit. Love it. The GTO looks just my first car... 76 Grand Prix. Except in black with white vinyl top.

The 58 Ford retractable hardtop top is nice!

that green and white car. so beautiful.

The Poncho. Two thumbs, WAY UP!

I've got that header wrap on my headers and it's awesome! Still looks new and it's been on for a few years now!

11:48 "In '56 they must have made 9 million of these cars." These sold third after Ford and Chevy in '56. Imports hadn't made much of an inroad yet. I got my dad's one of these in '68 (same color, same Special model except it was the "two door hardtop" 46R. Moved to Montana and used it to pull trailer up into the mountains to cut firewood. It also would pull a full-sized American car up and down the Rocky Mountain highways with no overheating, no problem. A truly great car.

Very nice display of American classics,,those colors on cars of the 50's were impressive

Congratulations on 27 seasons! "Or is it more?" You guys put on such a great show! I tend to watch in slow motion. So much knowledge saved for history. Thanks!

'56 Buick Special, Green and White like this one, my Dad's. Fun to drive.

Why can't we go back to these styles "NOT IMPOSSIBLE" JUST TAKES COMMEN SENSE. Great video keep them coming.

Wish I was there 🙂👍❤️💯🔥🔥🔥

I had a 73 Pontiac LeMans with a 400. Had the boat package, so beefier springs in the back made the rear sit up. Had a higher gear, which really brought out the horse power of that detuned engine. I loved the body style. After they dropped the GTO moniker, the Can-Am package was just gorgeous.

A pink and white 1952 Chevrolet DeLuxe Bel Air hardtop, with wing tips on the bumpers, and even mini tail fins on the rear fenders.

The cars in this video are amazing. My mom had a car with a prism device that showed the traffic lights, but she didn't have a visor. I can't remember what it was - all I can think of is her '56 Chevy Bel Air.

My dad has a ‘73 Grand Am. I never knew they had a GTO that year too.

Noticed the '73 gto at the beginning. Was kinda surprised that they did a segment on it, but glad they did. Not the best performance-wise, but '73 is my favorite year gto. Not only that, it (as well as the regular LeMans) is one of my favorite cars of all time.

I did not forget these cars

56 Buick wow!

Wow! All so nice, these guys know there cars.

I had a '56 Buick Special driver with original black paint with black and white guts....I sold it because that nailhead was so hard to get parts for. Boy I wish I would of kept her .

What a beautiful set of cars!

I saw the 52 Coral Chevy in Forest Park, Illinois at a cruise night. About 8 minutes into the video.

Nice! Brings back memories of my childhood going to car shows. Thanks for sharing.

it looks like heaven

They are not forgotten

Back when cars had style, class, and character.

I had a Ford Failrlane 500 1964, best car ever, a little wide...

1957, Olds made both a Golden Rocket & Super 88 in both sedan & Holiday sedan, which came as a pillarless hardtop or coupe. The Golden Rocket/Super 88 Fiesta wagons also had no pillars. Golden Rocket was base, Super midlevel, & Holiday an option for each. Next up were the longer, top-of-the-line Starfire 98 & its Holiday sedans & coupes. All model lines had the Holiday pillarless "hardtop" sedan & a convertible. Base: Golden Rocket 88/Golden 88 Holiday Golden Rocket 88 Fiesta Mid: Super 88/Super 88 Holiday Super 88 Fiesta Top: Starfire 98/Starfire 98 Holiday This year featured gold-sprayed 371” Rocket 88 engine in both four-barrel & J-2 triple 2V carburetion; no 2V came til ’58 when they capped fore & aft carbs. The J-2 had 3 Rochesters; 1 linked & 2 vacuum-dumped, non-progressive linkage (front & rear gummed up from non-use). They also had a J-2R & J-2-W1 “export engines” with whatever Olds’ Bill Holt & Pete Estes could get away with as a factory engine part for Lee Petty (Olds gave all their parts a number so Bill France wouldn’t call them cheaters). You may have a thin, high 10-1 compression head gasket which some say were part of the package. Dimpled valve covers mean you have rare, semi-legitimate Isky or Crane solid-lifter cam & adjustable rockers for clearance. Most multi-carb J-2’s came on the luxurious 98’s or the small, light, & sporty Golden 88 3-speed column shift 2-door sedan (an early Olds Road Runner-type). Then France saw they went too fast & pulled the plug on them anyhow..

My dad had a Buick Special-maybe a 56 not sure-I remember the 3 port holes on the side-I remember being on his lap and he let me steer it. I might have been in kindergarten at the time which would have been 63 or 64. I ran it up on the curb before he hit the brakes and stopped it.

Love the old classic designs compared to the bland designs of efficient cars of today.

My stepdad had a 1956 Buick Special 4 door in exact same tu tone color scheme as the 2 door in this show.

Cars for more civilized times.

4:36 that engine has been chromed within an inch of its life

i had a 1973 pontiac lemans sports coup gold with dutch yellow cream vinyl top 400 engine exsactly like this gto

Why does it always seem like the older cars were built better ,but mostly looked better ? Dad bought a 57 Buick special in the late 60es , took us to Florida from. Ohio 80 -85 a lot of the trip , got there it needed a brake job , it ran like a singer !!

My favorite muscle car that time forgot is the 1969 Plymouth Roadrunner". Beep Beep. The 1st car I ever drove. It was Vit. C orange with a black vinyl top. My mom always said, "She had a 4 in the floor and a 5th under the seat". It had a bored out engine, a 383, My dream car. My 1st car was a 1974 Pontiac SunBird. It too was a 4 gear standard. Another favorite of mine is the 1966 Chevy Chevelle SS. My dad had one that was light blue. heck, my county isn't 5000 people. My late uncle has/had a 1957 Chevy. That thing is smokin'. My mom and dad's car when they were married was a 1956 buick.

I remember how the hood lit up. I must have been 7 years old.

My friend's dad bought a brand new 56 Buick and I still recall the colors. Canary Yellow and Cream White. It was beautiful. He eventually gave it to him but by then the colors were faded pretty bad but still ran good. It was then stolen.

From my memory ( and that's a little questionable, lol ), that '73 GTO looks almost identical to a Pontiac Grand Am. My step brother owned a Grand Am long ago. Beautiful & great running car.

Very Good!... #219 ✝ {4-19-2023}

I own a '56 Buick.

I was at a car show here in Upstate New York and saw a 1974 Pontiac GTO, the thing is not a lot of people EVEN KNOW that the 1974 Pontiac GTO even exists!! This is mainly because in 1974 the GTO was essentially a Pontiac Ventura (Or Chevy Nova) body style and HAD the Trans Am shaker style hood!! I know what these cars ARE only because I used to see them when I was a kid in 1974 and you just don't see them today, because everybody thinks they are "fake" or think of it as a Nova!! Another car I almost bought SPEAKING OF Pontiac cars, I almost had a 1974 Trans Am Ram Air IV which was weird enough because it not only has two Ram Air scoops sticking off the front of the hood BUT it also had the classic Shaker scoop of the Trans Am as well (sort of like the Firebird in the movie Corvette Summer)!! You just DO NOT SEE THESE CARS ANYMORE!! And again in 1974 I was still riding around in my uncle's 1969 GTO Judge at times lusting after these cars at just 10 years old.....I really miss those old cars!!!

13:14 Tick Tock Tach fellas! ⌚️

We had 56 57 59 Buicks super cars .

Interesting seeing that 1973 GTO. I knew they made them (through 1974) but this is the first I have seen one, albeit on video.

This guy must have been an AM radio DJ 50 years ago.

1958 Impala was the best looking car that came out of that year.

Upgrading to a dual chamber master cylinder in that '53 Tin Woody Poncho wagon is a good call, even though it was not original. And this is coming from a "they are only original once" purist. But safety trumps originality. If I did not have double chambers when my brakes went out on me on the freeway years ago, I might well not be here today. Furthermore, the original single chamber m/c would also increase the chance of losing ALL of the car's originality if the owner got in an accident while driving it to a car show. Also, on that '58 Ford hardtop retractable, I wish you had shown that top both being raised, and lowered, in real time, instead of in fast-mo. BTW, Ford introduced optional seat belts in the 1956 model year, not 1958, as stated in this video.

That Pontaic wagon did it for me. When I was nearly the age of manhood (old enough fo my driver's license) the was a lady in her sixties that had a '53 or '52 , I can't remember which because I'm now the age she must have been then. At any rate her and her husband had bought it new and it had the straight eight and the slush-o-matic transmission. It had I remember less than 40,000 miles on it and had been garage kept (in the same garage) since knew. So despite it being this slightly faded grass hopper green with a darker green top, the chrome and even the interior was in excellent condition. I had laughingly told her at one time to let me know if she ever wanted to part with it. Well one day we ran into one another and she allowed that she thought she was getting too old to drive and did I truly want her car as she wanted it to go to a good home. I asked what she was asking for it and although I feel ashamed now, when she asked if I thought $50.00 was too much, I readily paid her, before she could change her mind. I didn't keep it too long because I quickly found out that it was no where near a car considered to be seen in around high school if you didn't want to be accused of driving your grandmother's car. I sold it to a nice older gentleman for just under $500. I never mentioned anything to the lady across the alley. Kinda ashamed about that too.. But today, I still wish, out of all the ones I ended up with later, that car.

Cars time forgot? Have the ever watched episodes of Highway Patrol? The 56 Buick Century was featured in several episodes. We had a 55 Special coupe. The old 'nail head' V8 was an extremely reliable and rather powerful engine.

There are 6 in a collection in florida . 73 GTO/LeMans .To 77 Can Ams.

THE BEST LOOKING CAR THERE WAS THE WHITE AND AQUA GREEN 56 BUICK SPECIAL.

I remember a lot of these cars, including cleaning the chrome . . . For h.o.u.r.s.

I've never been able to find the history on the Impala hood emblem. Chevrolet started using the name Impala on the 58 Chevy Impala but that hood emblem I remember from a couple of early 50s Chevy that my Dad had.

My Buddy in Michigan has the Ram Air one

Pontiac Wagon is so nice! Everything on car is perfect. A masterpiece. Cool!!

Hello, I use to have a 1939 Plymouth I bought when was about 17 years old, I bought it in Hamlet, North Carolina from a black guy only paid 50 Dollars for it....it had a flat head 6 clynder motor in it.....ran good but no brakes....had to use the hand break, I finally gave the car away......John from North Carolina

The best is your Jay Leno 1955 Buick Roadmaster. By far.

Ford came out with seatbelts in 56 not 58. It was called the “lifeguard design”. Seatbelts, padded dash, deep dish steering well and double locks. There are ads for the 56 Thunderbird with the lifeguard design

I own that same Buick a

+++++++++++++++IT MAKES MY 1956 FX HOLDEN +++++++AN AUSSIE CAR+++++++LOOK PUNY++++++++++++++

makes me feel young,i'm a 61 model.

that 1958 ford fairlane interceptor engine is the same engine that was in thunder road robert mitchum 1958

Speaking of cars that time forgot, I never see the beautiful 1973-'77 Monte Carlo or Grand Prix's at any vintage car shows; not even those that are GM only. I personally love them, but it seems if they haven't caught on at this late date, they never will. Seeing that '73 GTO at the end on the one hand was a little encouraging, but also insulting at the same time as the MC and GP's are more deserving. Still, that '73 was in gorgeous condition; no doubt about it.

You are 100% RIGHT!!! Even the overpriced Cadillac suv looks like the cheapest suv tin car given as prizes on game shows like TPIR and LMAD but still $20Ks

why isn't this a tv show? so many would watch it...

the Buick is great but funny how he is so proud of the modern drive train, the rest of the car is the jewel maybe some day up grade back to a mint original power unit. see his idea however to make it practical.

Niiice bunch of machines!! You may like Carolina Custom Classics too! Classic unrestored and will it run?, type videos. Have an AWESOME day!!

Love how you completely ignored the 75/76 Laguna behind that GTO.

That '61 SdV!

Seat belts were a Option on any Ford product. in 58 . They were more about Speed than Saftey

The scene shots are cut back and forth was very distracting.

'53 Pontiac Tin Woodie? killme.

Personally, I love cars that are original or more original than not. There’s just something really special about having a car that is in its truest form. Love it and make it your own with little things, but I say keep it looking as it would in the era it was made. I’m very happy for people that get to have a resto-mod or can swap the engine and change the rims, but I just can’t relate. I guess all car nuts have different dreams. 🤷🏼‍♂️😃

What kind of car is that blue GTS one, out of curiosity?

>>> :04 < Thats my Mom. She sure seems to spend a lot of time with Uncle Denis when dad is out of town.

The days when cars were cars not melted glass the had individual looks

58 Retractiable was at a show in L.A. at one time. I sold one For $150.000. Studebaker Was the First to put seat belts in a car in 57.

Buick skylark 1966

Ford called their Connie Kits a "rear bumper mounted spare tire."
