00:00It's been 77 years since Indy got independence.
00:11First of all, everyone should have a sense of independence, right?
00:15Independence Day.
00:16When we were asked if we wanted to know anything about Independence Day or if we wanted special content about it,
00:25we were completely blank.
00:28We had only read about it in history textbooks and in old movies.
00:35That's history.
00:39But we didn't think about what we could do related to vehicles.
00:43We didn't know if there would be vehicles of that era.
00:46We didn't know if we could see them.
00:49We didn't know where we could see such historical monuments.
00:52We didn't know if it was in a museum or not.
00:55We had seen a vehicle in Mysore museum, which was said to have been used by Gandhiji.
01:01But we didn't know if we would get a vehicle of that era.
01:10That's how we came to Palakkad.
01:14When we came to Palakkad, we saw this special vehicle.
01:23We are now in Palakkad.
01:26We are at RR Indy Garage.
01:30Welcome to the Drivespark Malayalam channel.
01:44Today, we are going to talk about this beauty.
01:49We are not the owners of this vehicle.
01:52It belongs to us.
01:55We love this vehicle a lot.
01:58We have made it beautiful.
02:00Let's welcome Rajasheethan and Shetty.
02:03Thank you a lot.
02:06You have still given love and care to our generation.
02:14You have still kept this vehicle in mint condition.
02:21Rajasheethan is like a doctor.
02:24He takes care of the vehicles lying in ventilators and ICs.
02:30He takes care of them.
02:34Rajasheethan, how did you get this vehicle?
02:41How did you get it?
02:44We bought the photos.
02:46When we bought the photos, we knew which hotel it was.
02:48It was Rajasheethan's vehicle.
02:50Actually, my wife is his wife.
02:53She is a better option.
02:55She is the one who named this vehicle.
02:58Let her speak about it.
03:02She is a 1939 Chevrolet Mazda Delica.
03:06It was in scrap condition when we bought it.
03:11When we saw it, it had an attraction.
03:15We named it Sundari.
03:19We had a calling.
03:23We felt for her.
03:25She is a 1939 model.
03:28It had a 6 cylinder petrol engine.
03:32It had a 3000 cc engine.
03:36It was not a running vehicle.
03:38It was a single owner vehicle.
03:40It was one of the first taxis in South India.
03:45It is a point to note.
03:47When there was no taxis in South India,
03:49it became the top taxi in South India.
03:52There is another ride in its history.
03:54This is the biggest highlight.
03:56It is the first main ride in South India.
04:00It is a Chevrolet Mazda Delica.
04:02It is a speciality of this vehicle.
04:07How is the accuracy?
04:09It was a Madras state vehicle.
04:11Dams were under construction at that time.
04:15It was a function of Aliyar Dam Pollachi.
04:20Late Prime Minister Nehruji.
04:23Mr. Kamaraj was the Chief Minister of Madras.
04:27We went to see the work progress of Aliyar Dam.
04:31We went to inspect the Nalambuzha Dam.
04:38Two very famous people have travelled here.
04:45We heard that they enjoyed driving here.
04:50We are happy that it is a part of our family.
04:54We are very happy to keep it.
04:56We have not seen it.
04:59We have seen it after so many years.
05:01We are happy that we could see it.
05:07It is a part of history.
05:09It is a part of history.
05:11It is a part of history.
05:13It is a part of history.
05:14It is a part of history.
05:18It is a master piece.
05:21It is a master piece.
05:22The name is master Delica.
05:28We worked hard to maintain it.
05:32We worked hard to maintain it.
05:34We got the strap model.
05:37It is not a plug and play model.
05:41Everything was done by hand, the tape was made and everything was ready.
05:47From scratch, basically it was like giving clay to a potter.
05:52I brought the team here and they were very positive.
05:57We sat with the whole team and talked about how to take it and what all we had to do.
06:02We had a meeting and that's how I started.
06:06They were with us for the progress.
06:10When we talked about the ideas, there were a lot of books.
06:13Now there is internet, but before that there were books.
06:16We did a lot of research on what we could do.
06:22We tried to maintain 99% originality.
06:25That's how we restored her and brought her to this condition.
06:30Both of you have given her a lot of love.
06:40Can you explain a little about this vehicle?
06:45Actually, she is a good runner.
06:49At that time, the airport was Madurai.
06:54She was handling the taxi and VVIP people.
07:00People from Madurai and Madras used to come and pick her up.
07:04There were no airports in this area.
07:06She used to come and pick them up.
07:08It was mainly a VVIP car, a taxi.
07:14There was no concept of a taxi at that time.
07:16Because anybody can give the taxi to anyone.
07:20There was no number plate, white board, yellow board.
07:24That's why it was a private registration.
07:28It was black and white.
07:30The background was white letters.
07:32The doors were suicide doors.
07:35It was spacious.
07:37Even if there were three people in the back, you could feel the comfort.
07:40Now we don't get this comfort in any of the Mercedes Benz vehicles.
07:44That's how comfortable it is in Spring Action.
07:47These things have been made for the roads of that time.
07:50Not for the roads of today.
07:52When you drive on these current roads, you won't feel anything.
07:57It's like going on a magic carpet.
08:00It feels like going in water.
08:03It's like a floating sensation.
08:05It's like they've hit an Ola.
08:07Our roads are like a caravan.
08:10Yes.
08:11It's very uneven.
08:13It was made for the roads of that time.
08:18In today's roads, it's like a banana.
08:21In this car, there was a photo of Nehruji with a cap.
08:30But unfortunately, we didn't get it.
08:33The previous owners didn't know the value of it.
08:38I don't think it's registered anywhere.
08:41At that time, it didn't have any value.
08:43That's why the Chief Minister and the Prime Minister didn't have any value.
08:46Today, it's history.
08:48They didn't expect this vehicle to be in this condition.
08:53Actually, when it was finished and ready, we invited the original owners.
08:59They saw it and cried.
09:02They said, even if I knew, I wouldn't have given it.
09:04You made it ready and gave it to me.
09:07The actual owners are in Pollach.
09:11Das bro, show me the engine bay of this beauty.
09:16Sure bro.
09:23It's a straight six-cylinder OHV.
09:26Air filter, carburetor, six-cylinder dynamo, plug.
09:32Everything is set up inside.
09:35It's as good as it was then.
09:37No AC, no power steering, no power brake.
09:40No complications.
09:42It's a simple radiator.
09:44Simple and humble.
09:45It's very powerful.
09:47You can drive it anywhere you want.
09:49Not only that, it has a good mileage.
09:53It's lucky to get 3km per litre.
09:56Are you thirsty?
09:58The beauty is a little thirsty.
10:00But it will drink.
10:02Back then, it was gallons.
10:04Now it's litres.
10:06Now it's gallons, 10 gallons, 5 gallons.
10:086 paise, 3 paise cost.
10:10If you go there, you'll get a bottle full.
10:16The wheels are all original.
10:18Those were actually white walls.
10:20We imported them.
10:22We imported the tires from the US.
10:26Duty is 200%.
10:28The tires were not imported.
10:30We had to pay the fine.
10:32We gave the loaner person.
10:34He brought only 4 tires.
10:36Stephanie came and blackened it.
10:38That's the cost.
10:42You can see the original wheels.
10:46This is Chevrolet.
10:48It's a Chevrolet logo.
10:50Until 2015,
10:52there was a Chevrolet in India.
10:54There was a Chevrolet in India.
10:56There is still a Chevrolet in India.
10:58The cars are being produced in India.
11:00It's an export car.
11:02African countries are still exporting cars.
11:06Just like Suicide Dollars.
11:08They opened it.
11:10This is wooden.
11:16We used the old wooden panels.
11:20We gave it an extra steel.
11:22It will be stronger.
11:26We gave it an extra steel.
11:32You asked what is Suicide Dollar.
11:34Suicide Dollar is a regular store.
11:36It's simple.
11:38That's the concept.
11:40Suicide Dollar is
11:42both ways.
11:44You can open it like this.
11:46It's almost like Suicide Dollar.
11:48It's a different concept.
11:50The front is the same.
11:52The back is Suicide Dollar.
11:54The comfort is
11:56the legs.
11:58The legs.
12:00A person should sit up like this.
12:02That's the concept.
12:04First, a leg is kept inside.
12:06Then,
12:08the next leg is kept.
12:10First, we sit.
12:12Then, the leg is kept.
12:16At that time, everyone was dead.
12:20We ate a lot of burgers.
12:22We became a burger.
12:26For that,
12:28that mode of entry.
12:30That's the concept.
12:32It's like this.
12:34It's easy to sit.
12:36Today, it's not like that.
12:38We sit like this.
12:40The legs are kept here.
12:42The legs are kept here.
12:44To avoid spoiling,
12:46the plates are kept here.
12:48That's it.
12:54Daily use.
12:56That's the thought process.
12:58Skip plates.
13:00It will slip.
13:02There is a chance of slipping.
13:04Just like that day,
13:06that concept.
13:08The sound of the spring
13:10when you sit.
13:12That's it.
13:14That's the comfort.
13:16Is the suspension a leaf spring?
13:18It's a leaf.
13:20We have fitted shock absorbers.
13:22We have fitted shock absorbers in the centre.
13:24We have to consider the age.
13:26Yes, we have to.
13:28We are like
13:30our parents.
13:36The interior design.
13:38Was it like this
13:40in India?
13:42This is the concept.
13:44The key is just on.
13:46It's a foot start.
13:48This is the foot start.
13:50If you touch it, the vehicle will start.
13:52The gear is 3 plus 1.
13:54First, forward,
13:56second, reverse.
14:00Is this the platform gear?
14:02This is the original platform gear.
14:04The hand gear has changed a lot.
14:06From 30s to
14:0840s, 45s,
14:10the floor gear has changed.
14:12The column shift has changed.
14:14It's like the Impala.
14:16The 50s hand gear.
14:18They used to sit comfortably.
14:22Let's ask him if he knows about this.
14:24This is 1939.
14:26The column shift
14:28was after that.
14:30There were two types.
14:32The column shift
14:34was not stopped in the 70s.
14:36It was there from the beginning.
14:38The lorries
14:40were all floor gears.
14:42Dodge
14:44and
14:46Forgo were all floor gears.
14:48That's why,
14:50when we got the vehicle,
14:52Ramesh said
14:54that there was
14:56a stop.
14:58The meter consoles
15:00were not working.
15:02To repair all these,
15:04it took a lot of effort.
15:06There was a spring.
15:08We had to make that spring.
15:10It was stuck.
15:12We had to go to the meter console,
15:14check the weight of the spring,
15:16make it into two,
15:18we had to set everything.
15:20If we set everything,
15:22it will not work.
15:24Fuel meter and amp meter
15:26will not work.
15:28That's why we replaced
15:30the fuel meter and amp meter.
15:32Or else,
15:34it won't show the level.
15:36Like I said, it's a dog.
15:38If half tank is gone,
15:40it won't show the way.
15:42It won't be able to show the way.
15:46There were a lot of people
15:48to see this.
15:50Politicians,
15:52people to sit in the back seat
15:54and take photos.
15:56There were a lot of people,
15:58MLAs, MPIs.
16:00This is happiness.
16:02It's like a celebrity.
16:04Yes.
16:06Vehicle sir.
16:08A celebrity in the world of vehicles.
16:10We are a family member.
16:14We have a fan outside our house.
16:16We have to clean it in the summer.
16:18We have to keep it clean.
16:20We have to maintain it.
16:26So, we experienced Independence Day.
16:28Our Independence Day wish is
16:30to have a rare experience like this.
16:32We are very happy.
16:36It's our first experience.
16:38So, our Independence Day,
