Back here, in one of my favorite places to visit with our good friend Doug Prey in the Corb du Saint-Baud Company, Broken Arrow, Oklahoma. Doug, you always have great t Well, today is really special. That's it. We have seen a lot of cool t We have seen a lot of Corb du Saint-Baud. We have seen a Corb. We have seen a Corb. In various restoration conditions until becoming a car, so. But we have somet For t Yeah. Well, t So the body is still in the bank, but you make the chassis first. So, when you see they only made a chassis. So, if you buy a Du Saint-Baud in 1929, 1930, 1931, t Except t So, t Auburn, Corb, Du Saint-Baud. I t Yeah, but t Yeah. And Du Saint-Baud is a 8 cylinder engine with a head-to-head chassis. W But Du Saint-Baud V12 SuperCycle engine. That's what everyone wants. That's what collectors want. So, t But t 12 cylinders, 160 power steering, that's what will happen. H The body on the 8 cylinders and 12 cylinders is the same body. But the chassis is longer, bigger, heavier. Wow, the speed is the same. But the wheel is in a different place. The wheel will have a different length. The chassis will be the same. But the radiator will be heavier. The frame is heavier. The rear part is heavier. Everyt So, look at t I mean, this is made 12 cylinders to accommodate two people. I mean, that's a lot of cars. And the last model is 31. Yes, the T-model reached 207. So, how many more years have you been from the T-model and can you imagine having one of them? Oh, yes, you imagine the T-model with 4 cylinders of 5, 6 years ago, and then you see t No, that's amazing. I mean, t Yes, I mean, that's amazing. The fact is, t M, t 2 mac But American Left France bought all the mac So, basically, t Wow, so t And it's very anti-aircraft and there are 3 speed transmissions but with the back of 2 speed. So, basically, you get 6 speeds. So, is t So, t So, you can replace it with 2 speeds when you land on the road. So, 6 speeds. T Yeah, so basically, the second gear will release the transmission. No, so you can activate the rear transmission with 2 speeds. Yeah. I mean, the design is beautiful and the unit truck wants to lose its rear end but t As far as I know, the rear body of the U-SPEEDster V12 at the speed of 1932. There's not Well, and what I Yeah, look at how heavy they are making these t And not only the big frame, there's an X-Penlo shape in the middle. No, I mean, t Strong and strong is made for speed. The 12-cylinder engine, basically, has 2 6-cylinder engines, 2 carburetors. You can run it with 6 cylinders, and the engine has 6 carburetors. Run it with 6 cylinders, and the engine has 6 carburetors. You see 2 comparisons. So, basically, these are 2 6-cylinder engines. But the 2 are strong. The torsion is big. The I just saw the original ad that said that t So, we brought you a few miles, but you can run up to 70 miles per hour in 1 mile range in 1932. Many cars can't even do it. You can run down the That's right. The national speed limit is 35 miles per hour. But t So, with the back of the 2 speed, whatever you do, and then I found t And I went back to the back and saw the original manual for the 12160 and 1216A models w But when I opened it in the middle, there were windows, chassis, and all the details. So, what actually only shows 2 t One t Yes, and all we do is we try to make it as original and accurate as possible. Now, the 12 cylinder model is still a lot. The 12 cylinder stock is a very small percentage. Almost no 12 cylinder stock is left. Now, the 8 cylinder stock, the same car in 8 cylinders, I can find almost everyt Yes, but in 12 cylinders, we have to work hard enough to be right. You can see when everyt Even the exhaust pipe. Well, that's all I just saw when you lifted t If we stand behind here and see the first fact, you have this literature and second, you have knowledge and knowledge for the basic restoration of a car Because we can see the real exhaust pipe here We can even see two lines for the rear axle and two speeds, all of them are directed as done by the engine. And we can sit here and see what you have done to restore this car Well, even the black color is a black chassis. So, people restore it in a way that they give black color to all of them. However, if you do it when you get out of the exhaust pipe, the color will not be black that is polished. It will be black that is depending on the time in a year, some of the colors. No, so t Oh, w No, because they are still produced on the road. Yeah, I mean, t So the detail that we put in t But that's what you want, right? They are now working as a senior and you want to keep the original, but make it as beautiful as possible. So t We made a complete mac So t And with the body speedster on top, t It really wants to celebrate. The driver wants a real old green felt and the body is in the color of old green and young green and he wants a black rim and does not want everyt But you can get it t But t So when the body is installed, Whatever you want to do, whatever they want and yes, an extraordinary car. Well, once again, though, somet From all the cool t Yes, because you don't see it, you don't see it and t I mean, if you see this factory, there is no one We are one of these places and our special place is the Corp and Duesenbeck. Now we do receive several other cars and several other jobs for friends and relatives, especially the Corp and Duesenbeck. That's us. Well, you are the Corp and Duesenbeck company. So, once again, seeing something in this condition proves what we said Yes, no, we can. Yes, whoever needs information about the Corp and Duesenbeck, We can do the best, we can build, we can do whatever people want in that case. And that's the problem, you do a lot of work. You help people who want to change cars on the road with your connection to the office, you can help buyers and sellers to buy cars. Yes, I t Almost always repair the transmission so that the gear changes are true because of the front wheel drive and electronic gear s But many of them, people buy it in the car and the car never gets repaired and the brakes don't work well. So, they come to repair it. Actually, I will take the car next week that I just came to repair the complete service, return it so that it can be repaired with good, then send it back home and let them have fun with it. So, that's very good. That's why I always enjoy coming here because there's always somet That's right. So, once again, thank you. I appreciate all your support and somet That'somet So, I really appreciate it. Okay, yeah, same, same. Thank you. What else do you have here?
