Video: Tale of an Oakland Racer
Submitted by msr on February 25, 2014
You’ve probably never heard of a ’27 Oakland before.
The latest video from Petrolicious winds the vintage car clock back nearly 90 years, studying a very cool 1927 Oakland owned by quirky gear-head by the name of Brian Bent. Oakland was a part of General Motors during a bygone era, closing its doors around 1934 as a result of dwindling sales – making this 1927 ‘Racer’ the kind of car most car guys haven’t even heard about. To Brian Bent, the car is everything – and the slick onboard footage featured in this clip perfectly captures the way he feels about his prized machine.
