Ford wasn’t the first: 1936 Peugeot 402 Eclipse
The cut up R/T would make an interesting story.
omg, its the original hard top convertible… be still my beating heart… =p
I feel like I haven’t watched a Roadkill in forever…
land mark car wtf ? more uses full as land fill
its a shame indeed, i suppose since most the stuff is gone , why not upgrade it to new stuff? parts would be nonexistent to go stock again.
efi big motor, air or hydraulic rams for the roof.
just make it all look stock outside.
Peugeot invented and built the retractable hard top…Before WW2.
I’d leave that yard depressed!
Peugeot 402 Eclipse was earlier.
That is a awesome car !!!
“the engine is in a pretty humble state of tune” yeah I’ll say so, not much compression!
The romance of looking at junk beauties and imagining a restoration is priceless! Let’s get more old cars on the road. Especially in the US because you guys have a history of old car culture. Keep it up. Love from Toronto, Canada.
I see the view count is way down. A few thousand there a few there. That’s our middle finger back to you motor trend. Eat a bag of dicks.
Bring back roadkill!
This channel is stupid!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Love these episodes. Hate that they are all hidden now mtod!
That purple Challenger r/t next to it had a custom removable hard top too ouch!
lost all interest when you greedy turds left youtube
Love these part yard videos!
What happened to this channel? This channel has made a turn for the worse.
Dead wrong. French car maker Peugeot made the D’Arl Mat, based on a Peugeot 203 in the 30’s, which had a retractable metal roof….
put more episodes on motor trend youtube. its bs that you dont upload any more. im curious how many subs have you lost? this is your bread and butter and your lossing your grip on your fans.
When I was younger my backyard neighbor had one of these. I’m 63 years old now.
bring back road kill
Leave.
Now that’s a show I’d watch! Interesting and informative! Cool host too, he’s awesome on Barrett Jackson!
I have a 1971 Firebird for sale in New Mexico, to rebuilder only no middle man and low ballers.

Clickbait channel. GTFO
Awesome thanks

I enjoy the history, thanks.
It’s all electrics motors. They never used hydraulics.
I Hope this channel Dies
Thanks for the tour Steve. Years ago I always enjoyed watching the the television auto repair show you were on before YouTube came along. Now I make my own repair vids on YTube. 🙂 Inspiring.
Reminds me of Retractible Ralph from Detroit
Nice presentation. Well done.
Motor trend has become another generic clickbait channel luring you in with quality stuff just to cut it off and make you pay $.
Maybe the ugliest car ever made!
