Will This Ford Model A RUN AND DRIVE 700+ Miles Home?

I purchased this 1928 Ford Model A Tudor Sedan sight unseen off eBay. I'm going to attempt to get it roadworthy and travel 700+ miles from Iowa to Tennessee.

Derek, I watched this show with my 91 year old dad. Now he has a bit of a memory issue but he perked up and told me story after story about the Model A his family had when he was a kid. Thanks for making his day which in turn made my day.

[arancunningham]

Who needs movies when VGG drops a new hour-and-a-half-long masterpiece every week??? Love you Derek and family :)

[Steamo]

This was absolutely the best episode you have ever made. Your music choices for the driving montages were spot on. I love your dry humor during the progress updates and I felt myself smiling through it all just like you did. I respect you so much Derek!

[bradd]

I know this video is old and the comments are as well. But I watch this video probably once every few months. It’s one of my favorites that Derek has made and to be honest it’s sort of a dream of mine to travel cross country with avoid highways on. I’m glad to see you do this Derek. My grandfather drove from Indiana to Alaska then took a fairy from somewhere in Alaska and landed in Washington then drove across the US back to Indiana. Took about 6 months in total. I flew into Alaska and went fishing with him. That trip was all he talked about until the day he passed. So keep using the back roads!!

This man’s tolerance level is off the charts. All that stopping and filling and packing, and knowing it was leaking like a sieve through every mile, just waiting for it to let go: amazing. I must be getting soft in my old age, because the thank you message toward the end brought a tear to me eye. Rest assured, I will always watch every second of these videos. They’re that good, and so are you and your family.

Out of all the shows out there, and I’m not just talking YouTube, I’m talking tv also, Derek has the best one hands down. He’s found a way to connect with so many different people and the reason why is because he’s one of us. Just a regular guy with skills to fix just about anything with an engine. And he’s relatable! There’s more than one time I’ve seen in a video where he’s come across something that I’ve experienced to lol. He’s the real deal, down to earth, and humble. I can watch him with my kids and the worst thing I’ve heard him say is ‘Moses sandals’ lol. When I saw this 90min+ video I knew I was in for a treat! Thank you Derek for taking the time in all that editing and hard work videoing to give us such good entertainment and history to!

11 out of 10 for effort on this one! Got to respect the simplicity and resilience of these original motorcars try getting yourself home on a bit of Grease, some ice cubes and a sandwich if you own a Tesla thats not 100% working right! 😆🙌🏽

[joshjamieson]

man, seeing that thank you from you and your family near the end of the video brought a tear to my 25 year old eye. such a humble and down to earth man you are. thank you for being an unreal role model for not only your boys but also young fellers like me

[slyguyaction]

“If you’re still watching, my family and I thank you”? You gotta be kidding brotha! Of course I’m watching every second, all the way through. Watching a guy make a long trek in a well weathered car while giving us all that beautiful countryside views along the way is the best way for a guy to relax on the weekend. Can’t thank you enough for this video. Wow man. Thank you.

Imagine it's 1935, and you've gotta load the family, the dog, and everything you own in, on, or behind that ol' girl, and drive it all the way from Oklahoma or Kansas to California. My wife's Grandma, 97 and going strong, made that trip at age 11, from Kansas.

Dear Derek and Jessica, I found your VGG channel a few days ago and I'm hooked. I'm 69 and my husband is 93. He watched the '28 Ford Model A episode with me this morning. He had a '30 Ford Model A in the 1940's. He has told me so much about it and said yours is a fancier model than he had. We travel in a 2020 Honda Accord and my Minnie Winnie motorhome. If I could afford to buy him a beauty like yours for him to drive, I would in a heart beat. Yes, he still drives at his age. We take our boat fishing pulled behind his Chevy PU or the Minnie Winnie. I drive most of the time, as I drive well at night and I'm a defensive driver, with zero accidents or tickets. My Daddy taught me well at age 15. Anyway I want you to know how much I enjoy your channel. My oldest vehicle was the 56 Chevy Bel Air I drove all through high school and up to 1979 when my Dad sold it forgetting I would have bought it. Oh well. God bless you and your family. Love and hugs from northern California.
PS my nephew, his wife and their 3 children just moved to Franklin, TN. I may move out your way if I outlive my very active healthy husband.
PS I love Fords. I've had 2 2003 Ford TBirds, hardtop, convertibles, a mechanic ruined my first one, the second one had 56K miles on it when I sold it to a girlfriend in Texas. She loves it. I miss it.

Thank you I’m 70 and love ole cars and you got a lot of patients

[yam]

This isn't a youtube video, it's a road movie, the narrative, music & the tech are simply golden, thankyou so much.

[jeffandterri]

In my humble opinion this car deserves a ground up restoration. Making a 700 mile road trip at it's age and condition I think it earned it. Love your content, hope you never stop making it.

[bensiemers]

Derek, you are a "road scholar" and your content is antique poetry in motion. Your content silences the noise and chaos of the crazy and disturbing world around us. Thank you for bringing such heart warming adventures and wholesomeness to people. All the very best.

[bgxxmtp]

I believe you put it back together for the kids that’ll run that thing across country in 50 years. Original as possible

[OURBENEFACTRS]

"Since the engine's failing I got a cupholder... that should help." This was a great episode. Thanks Derek!

[halfshark]

Spending an hour or two with Derek is like visiting with an old friend. Just love Vicegrip Garage 💯👍

[Johnkoolery]

One of my favorite shows of all VGG Episode.❤
I can't tell you just how much happinessmuch you bring. I would say to most who watch all of us to the simplest of realities and the most sincere feeling of normalcy, that is so needed right now in this country! Derek, you and your wonderful family Always brings a smile to my face whenever you have an episode for us to watch.🥰 🍻

[livingbyfaithatdcrp]

Derek, could it be that many of us are reaching back to a better era that we were privileged to be a part of and take in again what we didn't realize we were loosing? I gotta tell ya there was to me something very spiritual about riding along with you & enjoying the best UBER experience ever. God bless buddy. Keep up the journey 😊😊😊😊😊
