On this episode we get the Hot Rods ready for a local cruise in and meet up with our buddies. We then travel north to check out a junkyard with some classics buried inside. We didn't have much luck at the junkyard but on the way home we stumbled upon one mans personal collection and end up bringing home a sweet 1955 four door.

"... lets pick out a project for you" 98% of us grow ups woulda loved to have heard that from our Dads! respect, Dave! 🇺🇸🇺🇸💯
Open that drivers door 20 more times for no reason
That ladies enthusiasm deserves two thumbs up, especially the look she gave, when asked if she wanted an automatic.
She’s a keeper for certain
@@patdesrosiers6423 not meaning to insult. I'm a true die hard Mopar guy, since I started building my "57 D100 in the early 80's. Pretty much all I drove were Mopars. But the enthusiasm. I'm at the age, I don't care, two door, four door. Post or hard top. But seeing a women excited for a project car. That's over the top. Enjoy your project.
Seen these for years. I live 20 minutes north of this location. If you know, you know without giving the location away 👌
❤ they sure don't last long in the woods ❤
Dave the Tri-Five finder! Quoting, Always stop, Always turn around, Always call!
When I got out of the army 1976 I bought a 55 Chev 4 door, 6 with a three speed, same color and everything.... bought it from a school teacher for $250 drove it for about 4 years.
Once upon a time, I USED to snub 4 doors. I've learned to like them as I've gotten older. This 55 is a beauty!! Great find!!👍
yep..i'd rather have a 2 door, but it's a 4 door, and it's fine...and please leave the 4 doors a 4 door..none of that 4-door-to 2-door conversion cr*p, at least not the butchery with piecing together door parts to fill the void and putting in plexiglass rear quarter windows that don't even roll down...if your going to do it at all, at least have a 2 door VIN(body change), a set of proper 2 door doors, and a donor car to get the proper rear quarter window parts and structure from..better yet, just leave it a 4 door..I remember back in the day, a common thing people did with tri-five 4 doors was to shorten it, cut it behind the front doors and weld the rear end on after removing the section behind the front doors to the rear window...a "shorty"...yuck...what a butchery mess, looked much better as a 4 door...
I dont think the vin tells you number of doors. Only 6or v8 and belair and coupe or hard top. But i maybe wrong
Still cant stomach a four door on a tri 5 .. ...however, i DO like the fourdoor flattops of 59,60, GM's with the giant fishbowl rear glass!..those are pretty cool ( i actually bought a four door flattop 60 belar ) 🤣
@@filthbomb I agree with you about the 4 door "flat tops" on the '59-'60..the were 4 door hardtops(pillarless)..looked FAR better than the 4 door sedans with all their framing and the extra little quarter windows...and yes, the tri-five 4 door sedans look "framey" as well as the 59-60's...again, the '56-'57 4 door(pillarless) hardtops look FAR better than the 4 door sedans with all that framework..unfortunately, they didn't make a factory 4 door hardtop in '55..has less to do with how many doors there are, really, than it has to do with all that thick, vertical framework that upsets the flowing lines of the styling..actually, I am not that fond of a 2-door sedan in the tri-fives, or the '59-'60 for the same reasons..plus, the roof and windshield are "taller" on the sedans, both 2 door and 4 door. Interestingly, the unique one-year only styling of the '58 suited the sedans much better...less framework, and it worked with the styling better. Back to this '55, I would still leave it a 4 door rather than butcher it up making it something that it is not...
My family had a 1955 210 4 door in blue with a white top from 1981-85. It became my first car in the summer of 1983 when I got my license. Mine had a 6 cylinder with a 3 speed manual.
Keep teaching that boy how to wrench! We need to make sure and show this new generation how to build not by there hotrods 💪🏼
KEEP THE 3 on the tree!!! Adjust it right and bang shift like nobody’s business! Would take some major mods to work with truck 3 speed. That trans won’t take hp. But who needs to row around town in a classic when the column shift drives so good? They’ve never been sexy but work real good when setup with the right amount of slop. You could make them cool!
Great to see you getting your son interested in the Automotive hobby, nice job, dad😀🇺🇸
"you want a standard or automatic" Standard of course, she replies! Yeah, she's a keeper.
That 4-door will make a nice family hauler and it's so complete! Great find.
I hope they keep that car all original!!😍💗💗
Three on the tree is the best to me. Ad and overdrive and have some tri five fun .... Thank you
The fact that the door open and close soo nice and the window work blow me away!
David, I had no idea you had a channel I will be watching .
Small block chevy with a five speed would make it a nice highway cruiser, windows down, probably get mileage in the 20s at 65mph.
I hate seeing cars burried in the woods like that and rotting. The golf cart makes sense as a project. Cheap, easy and practical to work on, as a kid. That C50 is clean.
I was drawn to the 55 in Cadillac and Chevy's that 1 year said a lot to me as a young kid..and it never changed for me it has been a constant thru my life and all of the car shows that I have been to in my 62 years....55 is the 1 year.....that is like a magnet.....I can't get enough of the 55
Little Man Rules
You can't always get what you want but if you try sometime well you might find you get what you need
I'm about to take delivery of my Grandfathers 57 4 door 210 post. Almost the same color scheme you have there. Mine needs some love and attention too but, im right there with you on feeling that stoke. what a fun family project!
Green 6 cylinder Chevy, my favorite
Great find in a complete 4dr. The truck will be cool. You should air bag it so you can drop it with no ramps😊
So cool to see you bringing your kid along with you! That is how you keep the hobby going!
So how'd you get into cars? "Well may dad always had..."
Love the young gearhead.
08:06 DAVE! If they're not bent or cracked, I WANT THOSE WHEELS! The 8 lug slotted mags
He wouldn’t sell any wheels
@@12VoltDave tell him Dickie was the same with cars.. Maybe he'll change his mind.
PLEASE !!! Don't Bling It Up.. ( let it be a 4 door ) :)
Agree, drivetrain upgrades and keep everything else original
Awesome old 55' four-door! I had one almost identical to it when I was 15 years old... that's been a day or two ago. Great score on the C-50! Big block and a blower?
Ha no it will get a diesel
Nice C50. Glad you grabbed that and look forward to seeing you getting that back on the road. That '55 Wesley's wife bought is sweet.
Ima grown man but I get all excited like your son when I go inside a good junk yard it's like a toy store to me 😂😂😂 that 55 4 door is sweet great find 👍😎
NICE LITTLE 4 DOOR
Gotta love a car that’s nice enough you don’t need to send years restoring but rough enough you don’t worry about driving it. That ‘55 is perfect.
I can't wait to see what you do with the soon to be ramp truck!.. Keep us posted, please!!
Will do!
That 55 is a heck of a score. So complete and solid. Also love the energy and passion your boy already has for the hobby. Great to see that.
Great find on the 55. C 50 is cool too.
Happy to see you had a good time at the yard.
Or at least a time. Sorry nothing got bought.
Going to make amazing ramp truck🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤
Dave I can see the little guy being just like Dad. That road in front of your house will never not have a coat of rubber on it once he turns 16. Awesome content man!!!
You should see our driveway 😂
I'll see if I can dig up an old Kraco.8 track....
@@12VoltDave I need a front clip for a 68 c10
Nice score on the 55. And David nice score on the C 50.
What a gorgeous patina machine ! Love it
Thankfully I'm older & wiser...instead of being a bit jealous of you guys I'm super happy to see you guys living the dream & stumbling upon serious gems. I'm thinking I'm seriously fortunate to have found your videos to see your dream gems. Keep on keeping on Dave & Co. Gunna make me smile all day.
Someone really loved that 55 back in the day. Prolly alot of family memories. Now a new family of memories. Awesome
That 55 is really nice ! I’d love to build a tri-five gasser
All those oil change stickers on the doorjamb tells you a bunch right there. Someone, at one point in time really loved that car. If it could talk. Found a hotel receipt for a place in Bogota, Columbia in the glovebox of my 56 210 Sedan when I bought it. Same license plate number and car color then, as now, as shown on the reciept. A drug runner 56 chevy??, maybe. Also found a Air Force Id card from Malmstrom Missile Wing Montana in the glovebox. At one point in time, my car went from Bogota, Columbia to The Pac Northwest.
NGL, I got a smile on my face when I saw that sunbird vert. Thats something you never see on the roads anymore
F1 is a bad a$$ truck! Love the C50!! Nice score on the minty 4 dr, sure glad DD Speed Shop didn't get it, you know what happens to those 4 drs! Lol..... Dan is a great talent!
Happy Wife, Happy Life!
The '55 looks like Michael's Chevy from Knight Rider 2000😎
The 55 4 door is a sweet find - thing is MINT. I love the color. I'd daily the health out of that thing. Wouldn't you love to drive that to church on Sunday? three peddles, it wants a muncie! That C50 is a ramp truck waiting to be completed :) So glad you snagged it. Thought y'all were gonna leave with the 55 after looking at it. Please tell me y'all got those frames.
awesome score for the lady
Hello again. Mr. Newbern! I saw a interest in your eye for a Torino/70'(Gt....! Yes'sir..! Lovely body. I like."Cars" too...
That's one heck of a 4 door 55. It's hard to find them like that. I'm building a 55 4 door 210 for my wife on my channel but trying to finish my hardtop first. I sure would like to go on a junkyard crawl with you sometime. I'm trifive to the bone
Outstanding finds, glad the right people got these! Thanks for doing these videos Dave.
So good to see your son following your passion for saving old cars ....I've been in the panel and paint industry for 30yrs in Australia....I wish I had kept all my old cars .....I would of bought that 55 4 door straight away...
The sound at 20:25, when she closed the drivers door. PERFECTION
That C50 is nice my favorite year 67 and 68 I've been looking for a 1/2 ton swb big back window to build you got a good one it don't need anything other then clean it really good then build a bed
Look like a mouse house was falling out the tailpipe on the 55 as it was going up the ramp on the trailer lol! What a score that 55 is totally awesome being all original and nothing has been messed with. What a classic if it was mine I would put a 327 in it with some camel hump heads and a muncie 4 spd and drive the living crap out of that thing.
Awesome car!! Great finds!!!
Cool 55 Chevy...4.8L Ls, 4l60...sweet..
Hey Dave, Great find on the 55. Also, the truck. I know the 55 is in good hands, not to mention the 68 truck. Can't wait for the follow up on both. You can always give Dan from DD Speed Shop a call to convert the 55 from a four door to a two door. Love your channel and videos. Take care and be safe.
In 74 I bought a garaged 55 2dr post delray 6 cly stick, owner drove only to work & back. Was editor of home town paper. In garage behind paper office at work in garage at home. Only saw sunlight maybe one hour a day. Still kick my self for ever selling it. Sold after got married to friend said he never touch it. He sold it to a druggy who quickly cut out rear quarters then head on to a tree. Cars like people can have a wonderful life until the wrong person gets involved.
I have a 55 Bel-Air with the original 265 and cast iron Power glide . 4-door. It gets a lot of looks. It has a Rideteck Street Grip suspension and front disc brakes.
Words I didn't expect to hear, " room temp yoohoo ".
Identical to my first car!!!
Lots of cool stuff, not easy to find up here in manitoba. Im an hour and a half from DDSpeedshop, and dont have the same taste in cars as dan. 50’s dodge/fargo trucks, 50’s chevy trucks and a studebaker in the works. I love seeing all the old stuff back on the road where it belongs. Doesent matter what it is, shiny, ratty, LS powered or original, its all good. My dad had a 55 2door and my brother had a 57 Belair. For some strange reason im a mopar enthusiast. Subbed because i like what you do, and all these channels motivate me.
Good call on the wheels for the F1.
Omg David, what a beautiful 55 chevy I love everything about the old girl!!! I can't wait to see what you do with your new 68 c50 car hauller!!!! Keep up all the great work Thanks Mike
Keep the column shift so it stays original. Those are cool and rare.
You could sell the wiper system to DD speed shop !!! I also remember putting those old school stickers on old cars...
new here from danny's speed shop. what a great 4 door i'll be back ..later gunn
What a nice 55👍👍
Awesome find on the 55 I believe I wouldn't do what needs to be done and get that 6 cylinder running and drive it !! Great video and keep up the great job GOD BLESS
That wagon in the garage…that had me planning some selling on my part to get some $$ for something like that
I thought the same. Was wondering what I could let go of to get that
Hey man great find. It's amazIng you can still find a classic in original and almost complete condition. I found the identical model in 1979 and still own it. The only difference was my 2 tone paint combination had the roof in sea foam green, which is like a mint green. My Two Ten also had no deluxe heater with only the fan knob. And I had no radio with the radio delete cover with the bow ties. Your door panels still look great. I've restored my 55 twice and currently have a 350 cid with a muncie 4 speed and 3.08 rear end. I added the Belair trim and interior. I also painted it like a 2 door hard top, dividing the 2 tone paint line the same. The top is white with blue pearl flip flop and the bottom color is midnight blue. I'm from Swampscott, Massachusetts, and saw this 55 Chevy Neptune green 4 door sedan driving through my town with a for sale sign in the window. I pulled the guy over and noticed right away the exact white Tennessee license plate with black numbers was a 1971 issue. When I first got it and driving it around in primer, wise guys would ask me, what are you gonna do about the rear doors? I said, yeah let me find a nice rotted out 2 door from the Northeast and trade my rust free Tennessee classic. That's always my main bragging point that it's from Tennessee. Congratulations and good luck cruising!
I love you guys saving the old Classis out, thank you, you deserve a Metal, You the Man...
Damn I love it
Thank god. That C50 is AMAZING. I said to myself when I saw it that it was perfect for you.
That 55 and the C50 are really clean. Good find. Not many of either one left around that’s in such good condition. Thanks for sharing. 👍
The look on your son`s face was priceless. Good job Dave, getting little man interested in old cars. That `55 is 2 years older than me😁
I'd get a PDR on the dents and send it, great find.
You made two good purchases. If the floorboards and frame are solid in the 55 you can have it highway ready quickly and for not a lot of money. Get it running and drive the wheels off it while the weather is nice. You can make it pretty over the winter.
Mr Gixxer 1300r, That young man has probably been leaving rubber since his first bike. GREAT vid Newbern !!!!!
Thanks for the great content. It is really fun for us folks.
More tri fives for your crew on tour
Funny watching someone a lot younger than me fiddle with those knobs trying to figure what they do...eg , the radio needs to warm up and you just push the the lighter in and it pops out to light your smoke when it's hot. I got an almost new '56 when I was just 17 ,a 265 three speed Belair ,One of those cars i wish I had never been stupid enough to sell .
You're a great dad Dave!!!❤
Mr. B. Here ! Mr. N. The young man many be on too something with the golf cart ! LOL ! May loose your video ! Internet’s issues! The young man first car 1955 , go for it ! 👍👍👍 Congratulations guys ! Needs a little love ! The sound of the doors closing is unbelievable! Good buy on all !
Great strategy. bring your friends to the junkyard and hopefully they buy stuff. You still get to save them old cars but don't have to pay for them😂😂 win win win
Score !!!
I can't believe that 55 is got good interior door panels good Window Felts that C50 is a one-of-a-kind find it's got great interior put a mini sleeper on it or make it a 4-door with side pipes. 5 sp trans 4 speed browney twinn stick and a low boost blower big block. You'll have enough gears to get low rpm at 75 to afford to drive it a good distance wouldn't that be bad ass pulling up to car show on air ride an let her down they would flock so cool
Cruise ins are the best. Glad you got time to go
I just found 3 56's here in Texas. Worked out a deal for 1 2door Bel Air and 2 4doors with two containers full of parts. Enough to make two cars! Cool to see another one saved!
Just finished speaking with Wesley about 30 minutes ago when I asked him about the car. Great find guys 🔥🇺🇸🇺🇸🙌🇺🇸🇺🇸🔥
Great find
Don't let DD see the 4d 55, he'll talk you into a 2d conversion .
Great to see you son's enthusiasm for building a hot rod. Great video love your content
So great to see y'all out enjoying a local cruise in and show. Sometimes it's the simple things.😊
Just how old the doors sound when you close them is unbelievable
