The Continental was actually manufactured without a hood ornament and you and I call a padded vinyl roof yeah now it's funny this doesn't look vital it looks like convertible material because when I first came upon this car I thought that's a nice looking convertible look how tightly the roof is right but it's a convertible look sort of before that became popular almost in the 80s in the 80s yeah this was an early model and the great thing is this all this is an entire cloth interior wow um piped it obviously in red um all designed by my mother and I love the interior with the cloth very very nice and a pretty modern design interior too pretty simple this car of course had air conditioning and this car was meant to rival Rolls-Royce wasn't it this was a car that Ford built that they that would rival the Rolls-Royce both in price and when Ford brought this car out the launch price was about 11,500 it was the most expensive American car at the time yeah because this is what 1956 was all right so most cars I mean your top of line Cadillac was probably $4,000 yeah so this one I think that's probably right but the thing I like about it is the lines of this car are so restrained compared to other cars of the '50s of acres of chrome like it's put on with a trowel this has a nice clean design almost looks like a giant two-seater Thunderbird doesn't it well you know the interesting thing about this car is the is when Etzel and E.T. Gregory designed the 1958 Continental when my uncle William Clay Ford became chief of styling he wanted to recreate his father's Continental right and that's what this is and it's a total recreation and I think the lines are beautiful and there's very little chrome on these cars a sister car right to my left here and uh but it's a just a beautiful it's very tastefully done especially when you consider the era it was built and look at these this this is lovely here yeah the little air scoops in there tell me you wrote in this as a little kid no because my mother had gotten rid of it by that time oh no I know you know I should have told her to keep it from me exactly exactly my son Albert is uh 21 and he was just fell in love with his car as well I think he had a vision yeah okay we just saw that's the Horace Ford's mother's car now we're going to see his grandmother's car it's like the matriarchal cars of the Ford family and you didn't get a chance to ride in this one either no I didn't and it was really a shame because as you can tell it's a beautiful car yeah now this is what it's 1952 Lincoln this is a 52 Lincoln but it's been changed a lot the grill is different because my grandmother wanted a different kind of grill this is a hood ornament that wasn't of the time it was an older hood ornament that she liked all the chrome came off the car and so it's uh well you know what's funny it looks more like a grandma car because it had such a high roof well you know she wore hats oh she oh yeah yes well back in the 50s women of that era wore hats you've got to wear the ground so you know you had to get in the back with your hat on so it sounds like your grandmother's kind of a hot rodder because I remember in 1952 Lincolns were flat heads but this has the 317 cubic inch V8 correct that's what she wanted all right so she wanted overhead yeah that's right yes right she was a very modern woman that's right so this belongs to Ford Motor Company no it belongs to our family to the family this belongs to the family and it's on display at the SLR Ford House in St. Clair, Michigan.

My grandmother wanted her initials on the door so this is actually an E and an F but it's oh so grandma was not a samurai sword fighter I know I know she wanted the overhead vowels yeah right no no she's a very sophisticated those are actually there's a little story behind the wheelbase, which is standard but what they did was they added a little bit to the rear because they they were too cut off and my grandmother wanted some trunk space and they used to wear bustles back in those days anyway no they didn't turn that's so funny pleasure to see you as well uh.

The 1952 Lincoln, it's like the matriarchal cars of the Ford family and you didn't get a chance to ride in this one either no I didn't and it was really a shame because as you can tell it's a beautiful car yeah now this is what it's 1956 Lincoln this is a 52 Lincoln but it's been changed a lot. The grill is different because my grandmother wanted a different kind of grill, this is a hood ornament that wasn't of the time, it was an older hood ornament that she liked, all the chrome came off the car and so it's uh well you know what's funny it looks more like a grandma car because it had such a high roof. Well, back in the 50s women of that era wore hats, oh she oh yeah yes well back in the 50s women of that era wore hats you've got to wear the ground so you know you had to get in the back with your hat on so it sounds like your grandmother's kind of a hot rodder because I remember in 1952 Lincolns were flat heads but this has the 317 cubic inch V8 correct that's what she wanted all right so she wanted overhead yeah that's right yes right she was a very modern woman that's right.

So, this belongs to Ford Motor Company no it belongs to our family to the family this belongs to the family and it's on display at the SLR Ford House in St. Clair, Michigan.

"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enright behind me is the famous lawn at pebble beach and uh thought we'd take our crew and check out some cool cars including the very first duesenberg ever come on we're out here milan with two very significant lamborghinis this is maurizio and your official title is director of research and development of automobile lamborghini director of research and development and right behind us is the very first lamborghini ever produced so this would be what 1963 or 64. 64. 64. okay tell us about this car this car is really the genesis of lamborghini this was the first car produced in santagata and was the dream of ferruccio lamborghini to have a v12 more advanced that the v12 of the neighbors right lamborghini and they was able for first to put for example the double camshaft in a v12 and the other use only the single one they have a completely independent uh suspension in every in every wheel in order to give the best the dynamic behavior and also the comfort and it's clear that this was really a marvelous exercise of a team of engineering under the future when this car first came out american journalists especially were amazed that it was so smooth and so fast for a road car because most of your neighbors cars as they said were a bit rough and more race car like and lamborghini set out to produce perfect road-going cars we all know the story of the clutch and ferrari and all that kind of thing and i'm sure some of that is true and some exaggerated but the outcome was that it was a very civilized road car with its a lot of horsepower and who who did this body originally at the end of it the two main responsible of this car was uh uh engineer stanzani and engineer dalara two of the most famous engineering in italy right because i remember originally people weren't crazy about the design at the time yeah so they went to the uh the later later design they switched designers yeah it was mr scalia was the designer of the 300 right right but but the the heart the soul of the car that wonderful v12 which was used for almost 50 years yeah something like that so that would be the equivalent in america like the small black chevy it was one of those engines that was just very versatile you could put it in muir countach yeah espada a great great motor so that's the very first car yeah uh can we look over and see uh this is the very latest car this is the tribute of the 50 years of lamborghini made from lamborghini is really our internal reboot we try to put here all our expertise and to make the really moving from the first to the last we talked about again v12 right this is a last evolution with 750 horsepower four-wheel drive all carbon fiber that is the best knowledge that we have in lamborghini and for this time we designed the car in the same way between engineering and aerodynamics in like to have one brain with the two end one for design and one foreign so that was 350 horsepower which seemed outrageous in the day and this is 750 horsepower so that's uh and this probably gets as good a gas mileage is that yeah yeah so that's uh can we open them yeah sure and across the famous lamborghini doors yeah and it's full of carbon fiber new technology for example here we have this upholstery that is made in carbon fiber and we patent and we develop and we call carbon skin is a lighter of ladder of alcantara and it's cool is uh you can use in every way and also here you can see we have for first time use of a forget that was part of the development of assessed elemento also for part like seat and interiors of the car nicely done let's compare it to the interior of this car this was seen as a luxury car because it had electric windows which was unusual for an italian car back in the day electric windows and across the classic wood steering wheel which is always a favorite of mine you can't do that anymore that's illegal and of course the five-speed gearbox manual was really and one of the peculiarity of this car was that for the first time in this car was use a gearbox that was at zf drive from maserati right but after some application we recognized that was not enough uh the synchronizer cannot work because we have more more torque and for the first time lamborghini decided to maybe now also gearbox for this car we produce in ours also gearbox that was for this time something really unique well it's just they're both very very impressive it's fun to see the the change from the first to the most recent so pretty impressive thank you for taking the time pleasure and happy anniversary we're here on the lawn at pebble beach and if you're a duesenberg enthusiast you'll be pretty excited about this because this is the very first duesenberg ever built uh historically that's pretty amazing if you're a duesenberg enthusiast like i am this is a car that preceded the jay it's the very first one and it's still in the ownership of the original family this is mr castle how are you sarah i'm well thank you and what your great uncle bought this car great great uncle great great uncle now was he a a real car enthusiast what made him buy something from a brand new company that never built a car before any idea well he wasn't an auto enthusiast but he was friends with the duesenbergs and the rest is history yeah they built this car for him for him okay very good so did he say i wanted a coupe i want a convertible or they built the car and he just walked in and bought it no he ordered it for him because he was a very large man um and he needed a car that would would hold up uh in hawaii and the salt and the rough roads oh so this car went to hawaii yes absolutely okay so in 1921 it goes to hawaii and at one point it pretty much went down to not a piece of junk but just an old worn out car wouldn't it exactly yeah exactly it was a wreck yeah because i saw this car maybe 15 18 years ago in a barn or garage or something up here in in monterey well that was my shop oh that was your shop yeah okay but it's okay it was a bar and actually okay i remember seeing it going oh my god the very first doosan was like you know like like finding a sunken treasure ship or something absolutely i mean that's what was amazing to me oh and you gave it to one of the best guys in the world to restore bruce canepa who is famous for well you probably know him for you you're the guy that certified the 959 porsche got that into the country and f1s and does all kinds of race cars this is your first classic restoration is that correct first pre-war car first pre-war car ever well you know for a first time that's a heck of a that's a heck of a deal tell me what problems you encountered with this well so we started with bugs in the wood bugs in the woods termites thing right you know it of course it suffered 50 years in hawaii so we had corrosion and had corrosion in the aluminum body that had rot in the wood it had rust in the steel right and um and that was all and our goal was really to save every square inch of the original car not make new parts right really restore the original parts and put it back to and put it back to you as it was new because in 29 it was updated to be a more modern car and you had to go back and put it back into 21 specs exactly when we got it from jimmy it had model j headlights wheels hubs steering gear assembly steering wheel gauges lights everything they had they had done what you would do they upgraded everything on the car and then we we brought it all back to all the original pictures and exactly how it was built wow very cool well it's just you know it's an amazing car because cars don't look like this anymore it has sort of a horseless carriage look to it almost it does yet it in its day in 21 it was quite modern hydraulic brakes correct hydraulic brakes so the very first american car ever to have hydraulic brakes i believe exactly and uh it's a straight eight overhead cam correct can we can we open the hood yeah we can do that this is stunning look at that oh well you can see some of the duesenberg touches up till the j they still use this type of filler yeah and notice your here's your dipstick right here i love it yeah isn't that great yeah you can have that float and very advanced for its for its time overhead cam the duesenberg brothers were race car engineers so they built this is a fast car back in the day wasn't it this car went very well through the corkscrew on thursday oh yeah was that right having dna of a race car yeah it it was very easy over here to judge your car let me show you how this judging works you do it like this well the judges are here to judge the car so you'll hear it running start up and we'll look we'll look over their shoulders and see how they do these are the uh the curmudgeonly judges here at pebble beach they're quite serious and you drove in this as a kid huh oh yeah that's pretty cool in the mud and the dirt and just drove it because it was supposed to be used it was it was it was lacquered and we stripped it we stripped it to the black blacker what i mean as you can see it takes quite a while for the judges to go over every little literally every nook and cranny of the car uh sometimes you can lose points if something is over restored if it looks too good so uh it's it's a fine line you know this is uh pebble beach and uh it doesn't get any more uh strict than this really they check every little thing every little this is cad plated it should be left unplug i mean it's just it's unbelievable so we'll let them do their work and uh we'll move on okay we're out here on the lawn at the pebble beach looking at some of the concept cars some of the beautiful cars you know it's so hard to make a modern car look beautiful because you have so many regulations and rules you have to follow it's not like the old days when a designer could just have free rein and design whatever they want this is louis you're a head of design for touring superleggera correct that's right okay and you designed this beautiful alfa romero which has all sorts of classic clues tell us about this car well as you know touring pleasure is a old coach built company italian company which exists since 1926. this is a reinterpretation of one of the masterpiece made by touring suprema in 52 this car is completely hand built in milan in italy it's aluminum and carbon fiber right that car was presented as a world premiere in vila de esta and this car won viradeste this year so tell us some of the challenges you had to do there's so many government regulations now isn't it where you have to headlights have to be a certain height and all this type of thing and you've done a wonderful job i've seen pictures of this car and you really have to see it in person to to really do it justice this part tell me about here with it closing the wheels well yeah this was maybe the most difficult point it was to give this feeling of aerodynamies and power on the car because of modern cars we have you have quite big front tracks right we had to find the right position of this aluminium profile to give the impression that the front fender cover the front wheels and in the same time we need space to turn the wheels that was the the tricky point right and of course the magic here legera that's one of those legendary just the script and the way it is applied it just brings back all sorts of exciting memories and uh of some of the greatest cars ever let's take a look at the back of the car that's what i like just the haunches if you will it sort of looks like an animal right here uh this is the really the exciting part of the car for me the front is beautiful too but the rear end really excels because that's really the part most people see is pulling away and the way you tell me about this here the idea was to transform this volume it's all about volumes right and you get the hc who look a bit like a bull because all the power goes up and i wanted something really original on the discoverante more like a horse right and that's why you get this glass roof and small glass to give all this horizontal line as you can see for example the rear fender is really low respect to the hc competition right the best point of view is when you sit on the wheel and you lick you look sorry at the mirror and then you can see this huge table behind you right right when artists paint they paint what they want they don't get a lot of rules about what you have to do what you can't do and that's what makes it tough for artists like this because here do whatever you want but you can't do this you've got to do this you've got to have all this so the fact that you were able to make a car as beautiful as this and win the award too with the modern car which is quite impressive louis thank you very much thank you thank you for taking the time thank you really really inspired these belgiums are very clever we're here on the field at pebble beach with uh etzel ford himself and this was his mother's car and you know when you talk about old fords you want to get an old ford to talk about it this is an all original ford yes right this is the etzel model nothing has been changed no implants no grill these are all this is all original ford parts right here yeah yeah now so was this this is now thomas this was your mother's car well in 1956 ford made a couple of cars one from my uncle uh benson from my uncle william clay ford who's alive actually william clay ford designed this vehicle and my mother wanted one right so she had one specially made and i think the interesting feature about this car is my mother didn't want the hood ornament really so this car was actually manufactured without a hood ornament and you and i call a padded vinyl roof yeah now it's funny this doesn't look vital it looks like convertible material because when i first came upon this car i thought that's a nice looking convertible look how tightly the roof is right but it's a convertible look sort of before that became popular almost in the 80s in the 80s yeah this was a early and the great thing is this all this is an entire cloth interior wow um piped it obviously in red um all designed by my mother and i love the interior with the cloth very very nice and a pretty modern design interior too pretty simple this car of course had air conditioning and this car was meant to rival rolls-royce wasn't it this was a car that ford built that they that would rival the rolls royce both in price and when ford brought this car out the launch price was about 11 500 it was the most expensive american car at the time yeah because this is what 19 what year 56 this is 56. so most cars i mean your top of line cadillac was probably 4 right yeah so this one i think that's probably right but the thing i like about it is the lines of this car are so restrained compared to other cars of the 50s of acres of chrome like it's put on with a trowel this has a nice clean design almost looks like a giant two-seater thunderbird doesn't it well you know the interesting thing about this car is the is when etzel and e.t gregory designed the 38 continental when when my when my uh uncle william clay ford became chief of styling he wanted to recreate his father's continental right and that's what this is and it's a total recreation and and i think the lines are beautiful and there's very little chrome on these cars a sister car right to my left here and uh but it's a just a beautiful it's very tastefully done especially when you consider the era it was built and look at these this this is lovely here yeah the little air scoops in there tell me you wrote in this as a little kid no because my mother had gotten rid of it by that time oh no i know you know i should have told her to keep it from me exactly exactly my son albert is uh 21 and he was just fell in love with his car as well i think he had a vision yeah okay we just saw that's the horde's mother's car now we're going to see his grandmother's car it's like the matriarchal cars of the ford family and you didn't get a chance to ride in this one either no i didn't and it was really a shame because as you can tell it's a beautiful car yeah now this is what it's 52 lincoln this is a 52 lincoln but it's been changed a lot the grill is different because my grandmother wanted a different kind of grill this is a hood ornament that wasn't of the time it was an older hood ornament that she liked all the chrome came off the car and so it's uh well you know what's funny it looks more like a grandma car because it had such a high roof well you know she wore hats oh she oh yeah yes well back in the 50s women of that era wore hats you've got to wear the ground so you know you had to get in the back with your hat on so it sounds like your grandmother's kind of a hot rodder because i remember in 52 lincoln's were flat heads but this has the 317 cubic inch v8 correct that's what she wanted all right so she wanted to so grandma knew i wanted to go no but she never drove the car okay my grandmother even had a driver's license no but she knew she wanted overhead yeah that's right yes right she was a very modern woman that's right so this belongs to ford motor company no belongs to our family to the family this belongs to the family and it's on display at the slr ford house in saint claus michigan tell me about this here my grandmother wanted her initials on the door so this is actually an e and an f but it's oh so grandma was not a samurai sword fighter i know i know she wanted the overhead vowels yeah right no no she's a very sophisticated those are actually there's a it's an e and an f for eleanor oh very cool um is is the wheelbase stretched or is that the wheelbase is standard but what they did was they added a little bit to the rear because they they was too cut off and my grandmother wanted some trunk space and they used to wear bustles back in those days anyway no they didn't turn that's so funny pleasure to see you as well uh\n"
