- Get the bittersweet backstory behind the restoration and experience details of the legendary sporty space age styling that that made this legendary car a superstar, and hold on to the grab bar, cuz we're taking this iconic American classic for a spin! So, sit back, relax…and enjoy...the JOYRIDE!
What a great looking car! I especially like the untouched 283 power plant. Smart to keep that engine "survivor class" condition. I love the fish shirt too! You should start a mid century clothing line. Thanks again for showing.
Power On Patty! You let him go and kept the Corvette. Being a Vette owner I applaud your intelligence.
By coincidence, its twin appears in the 2017 coffee table book, 'Automotive Chronicle'.
Corvettes are the only GM Dreamcar that lasted.
Thank you Charles and Patty.😊
😊😢
What a car!
What a woman!
What a masterpiece of mid-century design!!
🤍🏁🤎
A dream car and a lovely owner. I know!
Sweet boneless watermelon!! My mind is blown! The color is absolutely spectacular, and so is every square inch of this rolling piece of art! And the owner is delightful. It's so wonderful when an owner keeps such a beautiful creation stock and doesn't try to modify the looks with the wrong wheels or pinstripes etc. And she accessorizes her wardrobe with the look of the period. Major bravo Patty! And Charles knocks it out of the park once again! These cars find you like lost little puppies that have no home. Just when I ask, "Can the Joy Ride series get any better" you prove IT DOES!
Major "I KNOW!!!" Simply gorgeous car in every way!!!
Very nice Charles, she's a keeper! The Corvette is nice too! Thank you Patty! 🥂⚘
Great video...Beautiful girl, beautiful car.....
This car is not meant to be bumped. Hahaha love it! That concave passenger dashboard and grab bar are amazing!
Such an elegant and distinctive color, in a sea of them painted black, white or "resale red." Bonus points for the cool MCM shopping center and its flagstone facades!
For some reason some women in particular don't relax back into the seat. It's not a stool or a bench, Patty. It has a back. You can lean back on it.
Beautiful car and as usual Charles finds the angles to display it, like those low shots of the rear, 3/4 view at 2:38 and straight on at 2:45. You could argue for eliminating the big round trunk medallion, but it's perfectly placed. Same thing with the fake air scoop and the three big strakes on the side. All those things really make the design. Jewelry!
Charles Phoenix is one of the best…. “And I Know”, narrator of classic cars and Yesteryear artifacts that I have had the pleasure of watching. Please, do not stop!!!!!!
Luuuuuuved this episode.
That Corvette is beautiful. Styling styling styling... I KNOOOOOWWWWW
Thanks
The Phoenix rises. 💁🏼♂️
thrilled u enjoyed!
Fantastic radio announcer voice. I lol when you accentuate certain words. Like screaming a la Mario Cantone when he does his act. Very funny!! Great video's. Love vintage cars. Great job. Keep up the good work!!!!
Gorgeous two tone color scheme, Patty. Thanks for letting Charles behold the glory behind the wheel.
Great episode!....awesome to see Vette like it just came from the dealer...A mid-century masterpiece...like Charles.....and me. I knooowwwwww!!🤭
What an awesome car!!! And such a lovely owner! Love that color combination. And you're so right...There is nothing like sitting in a Corvette! I have had two Corvettes in my life, back in the 70s and they were such a blast to own! Thanks Charles!
Beautiful '61 Corvette, way back when I didn't like that color but over the years it has grown on me, now it looks Awesome!!! 👍👍 Talk about the "Way Back Machine" 👍👍
Thanks for showing the interior.😀
You did an amazing job on the restoration. What a perfectly beautiful car!
Love that fawn color combo and Patty is adorable
Love to take both for a cruise down Route 66
Nice choice of colors. It tones down the styling which is already eye-popping.
I think so too!
An excellent restoration on a legendary car.
56/57 are my favourite years
Beautiful job!! Looks like it never had a soft top either! Enjoy!!
We would never have known these details without you and Patty getting it all out in the open...
Beautiful car
That fish shirt rocks, almost as much as Circus Donuts!
That color is perfect. Definitely one of my fav. all time Corvettes. Guy don't know what he's missing. Bet he's eating his heart out right now, or in that donut shop. LOL!!!
Love the color. Silver with white coves is gorgeous! A beautiful example of mid century modernity! 🤣
Isn't this color Fawn Beige?
OMG! Patty is the the ultra feature.
What a hot whip of a car! And the owner, even more 🥴
I love how Charles always knows how to close a car door!
Nice car 🚗
Makes me want to go cruising down Route 66!
Very nice............ 👍👍👍
This is a beautiful Corvette for sure!!! Since you filmed this in Torrance I'm sure that you know that when it rains in LA it rains in Torrance!!! I Know 🤣🙃🙄😀😂😮
I want a Corvette!!
Such a gorgeous vehicle. Stunning in every way imaginable..Reminds me of the Bruce Springsteen video for I'm On Fire. Great job on the restoration💜
SWEET TABERNACLE OF PRAISE!!!🙏🙏🙏 DON'T ANYONE SAY ANYTHING FRIVOLOUS FOR THE NEXT FEW MINUTES WHILE I TAKE IT ALL IN!!!👁️👁️👀🕵️🙉🦚📡🔎
Love the Corvette!
Absolutely gorgeous. I know!
At 2:50 . . . the worst thing Chevrolet did to the Corvette recently was lose the iconic four round taillights. I don't know if I can ever forgive them for that. The new parallelogram tail lights are just not Corvettey at all. I do like the new mid-engine Corvette; it does have character and it will grow on people. But without the four round taillights I just can't get into it.
This is a stupendous car. I'm glad that SHE has it.
Yes, ma'am....HE didn't deserve the car, OR YOU.
My Dad had this year.black outside,red inside.Traded for 1963 split window white with red inside.
What a beautiful car! It would be difficult not to smile 🙂 riding in that 61 Corvette. Made me smile just watching the Video 😂.😁. Has to be amazing to find such America Classic cars. What was the name of the color of the silver used on that 61 Corvette? So striking visually to look at.👀
I think it was called Fawn Beige. My family had a 1961 Impala that was the same color.
Patty's as beautiful as the car. Even more so; a lovely lady who teaches auto body repair? Who - or what - could be more perfect than that? I actually have a friend who has one of these - a 1962 version, I think (essentially the same thing.) Haven't ridden in it yet, but I hope to some day. This generation of Vette is considered the best ever by some - has the older style front end, but the Stingray style back end.
OK, this episode makes it official: Joyride is my favorite youtube car channel of all time. Better than Jay Leno's garage. Better than Mike Finnegan. As Charles would say, "An out of this world national treasure!"
Thank you! Thrilled ur enjoying!
I can say from experience, she probably got the better part of the marriage deal. THAT CAR!! And that she did all that work!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! There is a perfect match for her out there, if she isn't satisfied with being a fabulously independent woman!! Gorgeous. And the car too!!! That's right, Charles... NO ONE bumps that car! No one would dare! Oh that lil' spaceship!!
Another great video Charles!!! Beautiful Corvette!!!!!!
Glad you like it!
I like Patty, too.
Nice Curves and so does the car, I knowww.
You are crazy I subscribed
Leave the boyfriend behind and keep the Corvette. Wise choice ...
"Barely there bumpers ...because this car is not meant to be bumped" That comment was so Charles! I know (right?) 😂
Such beautiful curves. I KNNNOOOOWWW! Love it Charles!
beautiful car...i see a few things that would of remind me of the 1957 Cadillac Eldorado Brougham. dash gauges of the 59 impala,
Is Charles your alias? Are you in actuality Fred Schneider, of the B52's?
The War of the Worlds eye vent.
NICE. HA
KEEP. 'EM. COMIN' ..."RT. 66 !!!" HA HA HA LOL LOL LOL
Charles dont grab the glass when you shut the car door. Use the door handle. I know!
you're RIGHT !!! ...
Some guy missed the bus.
Who knew?
Motoroma americana,I knowwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww
0:28 I don’t know which is the focus of this video, the corvette or that hella lit Googie building (I WANT IT SOOO BAD)
also I got a Cadillac ad with this video. Don't know why I'm saying this
Not impressed with any Vette after 1967.
I would love to be her new husband. ♥️🙋. She can borrow my 65 vette and I her C1 haha 😀
Charles I never see you drive the cars with a manual. Do you want me to teach you to be more versatile?
Stella Stevens says she drove a 1960 Corvette while she was a Paramount starlet.
LOL ... I know how ...
I know…
Major "I KNOW!!!" Simply gorgeous car in every way!!!
