Beautyful year, smooth not overly tacky!

312 V8 I bekieve .. it was widest car on road .. regulation in 1961 set a maximin width forr all cars

Gorgeous classic from the 1960's. Love the push buttons. The rear sort of reminds me of an English Daimler, without the fins of course. What year is the black one in the background? I have always like the styling of that one as well. Thanks for sharing!

Always liked the widely spaced headlights and "the blob" taillights on these! Even when new, you just didn't see many of these on the road.

At the age of 16, I bought my first car. A 1951 Studebaker champion 4 dr. I thought it was the ugliest car on the road! But, it was unique. The column shift was converted to a Willy's jeep floor shift, a big deal back then. So I set to make it something special. I won a lavender teddy bear at the county fair. I took it to a paint shop and had them match the color. Bought a diaphram compressor. Removed the ugly front bumper, and painted the car. Indeed, as a junior in Newberg Union Oregon high school, I had a unique automobile I was proud of. I subsequently was arrested for having a speed contest, and was unable to drive to the Senior prom At the age of 20, I was able to purchase a 1953 Studebaker coupe that I considered a beauty, but Navy obligations prevented me from ever putting it on the road. Needless to say, I developed a LOVE FOR Studebakers. I just turned 80.

Ridiculous beautiful

Great video! Beautiful car! 😍😍😍 The golden age of the automotive industry! The bigger the better...😅

Love '60 Mercs. That is the bottom model.

With overdrive, you could easily run 70 mph.

Those were the days my friend

Very cool looking car!!

My first car was a 1962 G.T. Hawk that my dad helped me purchase in 1977. In 1962, Dad bought a new four door V8 Lark instead, for his young family.

That's a beautiful car. Especially like the rear window curve and chrome. Curvature of grill seems to match the dashboard.

Ooh I love this Mercury. The emblems on the fenders are called a gunsight and the rear window is called panoramic. Great one Mike 👍

Nice. I'd hate to have to replace the back glass on that one. Another great find.

standard was a 312 cu in V8...............optional was a 383 cu in V8.....in the Monterey series

One classic motor car !!

1937

I'm a Ford guy generally but these LaSalles are right up there as my favorite pre-war car.

That’s a typical 20-30s color for appliances like ice boxes. That and a muddy green two tone is on my ice box.

How many lights does this car have? Yes

Look . You can actually see the motor. Hahaha 😂

A very unusual car, and a VERY unusual model, the Town Sedan!!! They were disregarded for so many decades, but, through the lens of time, they are such a strikingly beautiful example of art " de-car "!!!

Love it! ❤

The white wheels may have been available as a dealer accessory. But they were standard on the Frost White '90 Prelude Si with ALB (Anti-Lock Brakes). They were standard on the '91 Prelude Si with ALB or 4WS (4-wheel steering). Regular Frost White '90 Si models had 14" wheel covers (same as the Prelude 2.0Si) and '91s had silver alloys.

Amazing mechanical work of art , most definitely he has to go to show his car everywhere

I respect to the man for me a wonderful caretaker!! And preserving history for future generations

Mechanical art

I once owned a 47 Sixty Special and like the 4dr. better than the fastback. This is a real nice car though.

An avid classic car collector, who has never even popped the hood?! I find this perposterous. Truly unbelievable!

"Ferdinand Porche had his hand in the design of the Volkswagen", may be the biggest understatement of the past century!

This car has synchonizers on second and third gears--all cars had them by this time, perhaps except for the Duesenberg Model J. If the transmission crunches or grinds when shifting into second or third it could be the synchros are worn out. It could also be the clutch is not adjusted properly and is not disengaging far enough.

Where did the owner get the replacement parts to restore this car...the steering wheel insert is not available as a reproduction...and my wood insert was the first to go...also all of the reproduction parts are poorly made and arent exact and rarely fit properly. those cars were prone to leak...everywhere...especially under the passenger and driver floors...the chrome moldings around the opera windows...turned dark very fast...and where did he get a replacement for them?...curious

When I was a kid one of our neighbors had a triple black very similar to this - I know it was a 72 b/c of the taillights and small front bumper. I was friends with their daughter and we would ride in it with her parents. This was very deluxe for our neighborhood / there was I think one other Lincoln (a Mark IV) in my entire bicycle range of several adjoining communities. Power windows were an incredible temptation for me - no one had them at our level. Her Dad was indulgent but I really had to struggle to keep my finger off the button - my guess is he probably activated the lockout more than once (which would have confused - of not scared - the heck out of me; did I break it?) Very sinister car and thus a lot of TV use. I remember Lincoln base prices seemed expensive vs. Cadillac - but AC and a radio were standard on Lincoln, optional on Cadillac. Your owner is correct, the reclining seat was an option - indeed so was the split bench, and the power passenger seat (this looks to have only the 2 way, but you could get 6 way as well). Dual 6 way seats with passenger recline was the top seat option and expensive.

Sweet! My Grandmother had one of these back in the day.(Long gone by the time I came on the scene).

Thank you for being you. I just love history in automobiles as an automotive electrical and mechanical guy from the army. It is obvious though that the use of today who now do not wish to be part of history they leave many of the cars that have been restored lovingly restored too to the auction house where no one wants them. All the guys I see on these shows are my age they? They love the cars from the 30s and all the technology that came in that period of time. I would really like to know more about the automobile called moon as I said it was very expensive and very few are made in regards hell from down under unfortunately we throw history away here sorry to say.

u always show the best cars, Mike. Lot of fun. Thanks. She's a beauty.

Beautiful Mike!

Very nice. I am not sure, but I have been under the impression that the La Salle was an upgrade or more of a premium than the standard Cadillac ? Thanks

Is that beautiful! I can imagine Humphrey Bogart behind the wheel.

Looks like it was made last week. Another great find!

I'm grateful to men who preserve our history, thank you sir!

I had a friend who inherited his aunt's 202 2dr sedan - even more of a stripper and 3 on the tree. Teal, but more green in it than blue. Dog dish hubcaps and really basic interior. This would have been mid-late 80's. Someone hit them pretty badly and there was a battle royale getting the other insurance company to pay to fix it. Naturally they wanted to total it (it wasn't worth anything) but it had been preserved and somewhat restored (paint, trim, interior freshened). They won eventually but the ultimate bill could probably have bought 3/4's of a new Tempo; my friend was not backing down. These things were pretty much bulletproof especially for what was essentially a throwaway car. Lots of room inside too for the size. I looked at a 64 Caliente sedan once, but it was a 6 and I really wanted the V8 - might have been a bad decision to pass.

It's too bad that Pontiac didn't make this the GTO. The styling was distinct enough to warrant the GTO nameplate.

Real Desoto.got back window

Desoto my father once bought it 1:13

Now, this guy, is my kind of guy. He showed you alot of stuff, he probably never shows. Beautiful car! And very nice man👍😎💙🇺🇦

This car looks like a Tank, I am sure this is one of my favorites…👍😎💙🇺🇦

So happy you found a 40’s Chrysler New Yorker Town & Country…very rare those Woodies, Looks Terrific👍😎💙🇺🇦

I think with this car, he has a chance at WINNING PEBBLE BEACH, I mean 1of 6, he is probably the only one Alive, good find my friend 👍😎💙🇺🇦 Nice color too, it feels like a 30’s car 👍
