Feeling A Vintage Car With 'Teeth' When You're Blind

Tommy Edison, who's been blind since birth, touches and feels a custom 1957 Chevy with grille teeth with the help of car designer Fireball Tim Lawrence and Ken Vela from Wikd Kustoms.

This video was recorded in July 2015 but wasn't published on YouTube. The footage was part of a longer segment in which Tommy and Fireball Tim took a ride in a Dodge Challenger Hellcat and visited the Picture Car Warehouse in Southern California so Tommy could experience vehicles, featured in Hollywood movies, by touch. This scene was cut from the original video for time, but we really enjoyed it so we're making it available now.

I thought the title meant he was gonna touch the car with his teeth

[GenAfterNextTactics]

I miss these vlog style videos. It's cool to see Tommy out and about.

The people that have site don't smile with their eyes but when you smile your whole face is a smile, your smile is contagious

[surmisable]

Hey Tommy, I've really missed you since you left Youtube. Hopefully I'll get lucky enough that Ben will read this to you, or maybe you'll find it amongst the thousands of comments by completely random chance with the Narrator on your phone, but I'm really glad you're back and I've been eagerly awaiting your return. I love cars, so this video was a blast for me, and I love your perspective on the world - Literally and metaphorically. Best wishes.

Me reading the title, "Why would you feel it with your teeth? Your hands would be much more reasonable... Oh."
