It was a beautiful sunny day in southern California – very warm for November in the 80′s and 90′s. David wanted to visit the world’s oldest operating McDonald’s franchise in Downey, CA and drive there in the 1948 Chrysler New Yorker that he co-owns with his dad.
We arrived there safely (you never know with an old – uh, classic – car what might happen) and had our lunch (David had a burger and I had some chicken nuggets) on site, joined by lots of pigeons who seemed unafraid of people. I can see why the Italians called these birds “rats with wings” now. Anyway, we had a good time and here’s the video.

Hey Egbert,
Thanks for the nice comments. We had a lot of fun filming it and you’re right, it probably was a luxury vehicle in its day.

Hey guys,
Great video! Really enjoyed your commentary on the history of the NewYorker; really enjoyed the air conditioning unit! Who knew a luxury like that was available back then!
