Wheelchair Accessible Hot Rod – 1936 Plymouth Coupe With Hand Control Modifications!

In this 87th Video from Classic Car ChitChat you will get to meet a gentleman who uses assistive technology that allows him to pursue his passion of Classic Cars. This gorgeous Ruby Red 1936 Plymouth 2 Door Sedan has been specially modified to allow the Hot Rod to be driven with specialised hand controls that allow the operation of the brakes, and of course the gas pedal which Jim loves to show off! The Hot Rod also has a custom-built lift system that allows Jim to safely access the vehicle from his Wheelchair from the Passenger Side.

This 1936 Plymouth 2 door has a timeless iconic design that has been sought after by countless car collectors. Plymouth has always been renowned for creating reliable vehicles and was also aimed at the working classes back in the pre-war era. The car offers incredible smooth handling with a plush and comfortable interior too!

In case you are keeping Track this is Video # 87 of Classic Car ChitChat Videos!

I hope my Classic Car ChitChat video’s make you smile. I do them in my spare time because I truly love cars and my intentions are simply to honour the beautiful cars I get to see and to really understand the passion and love of the vehicle by the driver (or caretaker as Jay Leno would say) of the car. I also understand too that my videos perhaps lack the polish calibre of great YouTubers like: Doug DeMuro, Scotty Kilmer, and of course my favourite Supercar Blondie. I also know that I can’t even come close the quality & finish you get from the likes of Jeremy Clarkson and the boys at Top Gear. I think they use a little fancier equipment than my little iPhone… LOL

Mission Statement:
My Objective through creating these videos is to shine the spotlight on people who love their vehicles whether it be a car, motorcycle, or even a bicycle…. Bottom line is if it has wheels and you love it then let’s show that passion to the world!

Equipment Used:
Camera – Just an iPhone SE (Nothing fancy – which proves anyone can use whatever you have handy to make a video… you don’t need really expensive equipment)

Gimbal – DJI OM4 - For that ultra-smooth cinematic look. (To be honest... still not quite sure how to use it but one day I will figure it out!)

Audio – Rode Wireless GO II (I gotta be honest… this is really the biggest investment that was made… I wish there was a cheaper option but after the first couple of videos I soon realized that audio quality is important and hopefully better than the onboard mic on the iPhone!
