Rusty_OToole Posted July 29, 2019 Share Posted July 29, 2019 (edited) Two cars that have not run since the Nixon administration in a death defying race to the end of the driveway and back. Team Thunderbolt and their 1953 Packard Clipper challenge Team Fireball and their 1950 Buick Super. Both engines are frozen solid. Hilarity ensues.

Flim Flam Man Posted September 29, 2019 Share Posted September 29, 2019 Great series from the Coldwarmotors gang, that last episode had me cracking up. I'd much rather watch these guys save and breath life into these old jalopies than any of the phony crap car shows on Motor Trend. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
