    At 4:00, I learned to drive on a '58 Buick Special. I have so many fond memories of that car. Sadly, as bad as I wanted it, it was traded while I was stationed in Germany and I never saw it again.

    My love for 1950's American cars started-no pun intended-with the Stephen King book Christine put to film and my obvious favourite is the 1958 Plymouth Fury Long Live Ole Christine!!!

    @Xegethra  11 лет назад +4

    haha, well, I dunno about avoiding remakes....the 50's had so many covers of virtually every song around at the time. But still, maybe on one of the other videos you'll hear something you like better...I have about 3 of them. They should all be in a playlist, but due to a glitch on RUclipss part I am in the process of remaking all the playlists that have been deleted and re doing all of the video responses...so I do apologise if finding them proves tricky!

    The Pink '58 Buick is ridiculous! I own a '58 Cadillac Fleetwood and a '59 Cadillac Fleetwood. I also want a '58 Buick Limited. But they are extremely difficult to find. If the one in your video crossed the auction block for sale, it would bring close to $200,000!

    Nice work Amaranthus616 ! It is good to see people in your generation so appreciative of the styles that my generation grew up with. I know that this was published 6 years ago so I hope that your enthusiasm has not waned. As an owner of a 1958 Buick Roadmaster 75, the sister model to the 1958 Limited that you displayed, I was doubly pleased that you picked it as one of your favorites. Glad to have you in the "club" of car enthusiasts and design admirers. Rock on brother!

    • @Xegethra

    @308RoadReady 11 лет назад +4

    being 25 and owning several of the cars you pictured I can offer you some advice: Owning a 50s American automobile is one of the greatest joys for a car enthusiast. My favorite are the Buicks of 1955-1959. I have a few videos on youtube showing my 59 LeSabre hardtop. If you ever get the chance to buy a post war American car take it! You will feel good about yourself every time you see it and drive it.
    Cheers from the Heartland

    OMG!!! I cry everything I see these Detroit wonders. So, Sooo beautiful. I wish Detroit made cars like these again. Such luxury, such styling, especially the finned cars. These were the days you could tell one from another. Not like the crap that's made today!! Oh how I miss the grandeur of old Detroit.😭😭

    I still have my father's 1956 Continental MKII. Fully rebuilt motor, and still looking like a "queen." The thing is, however, it's a "smog monster" and I suppose that's easy to forget. When I start it up, I feel like warning the neighbors ... LOL. Nowadays, in Southern California, the air is clear and lovely; and you can see the distant mountains. In the 1950s the air was brutal. The 50s cars are art pieces ... but deadly!

  • @alanolson6913
    @alanolson6913 2 года назад

    All time favorite : ‘57 Ford Fairlane two door hardtop. Such a handsome design. It’s one of the years Ford outsold Chevrolet but the popular thinking is that the’57 Chevrolet was the most popular. While it was popular, it wasn’t as many think : few, if any car buyers at that time could afford the high buck, full dress two door hardtop models. Remember the pay scale in that era was around 3.00 an hour. The entry level pay was $1.65 an hour. When you figure rent, groceries, kids, gasoline, etc. it’s why most bought a 4 door sedan . Upgrades like a heater, defroster, two tone interiors, outside mirrors, back up lights, cigarette lighters, radio, tinted windshield were all extra cost. So sun visors, continental kits, two tone exteriors and such were not on every car then. Sure there were folks with the money, like my aunt and uncle who bought a ‘52 Ford station wagon, then a new Thunderbird in ‘56. But not many people had two cars or that kind of money.

I have been car crazy since I was a kid, my first car was a 60' Chevy and now have my 64' Galaxie with big block trucks and a vette in between. I feel for you. I hope one day you can cruise in your own Detroit classic.

  • @ElectrologyNow

    I also love (most) 1950s cars. I was 10 when the 1958 Buick came out ... I nearly vomited! An interesting car, because it was the ultimate "Godzilla" of the chrome age. What a design disaster! Still, it would be fun to own one of those abominations!

    The 50's might be the dream period for most people, but the things I like from there are the cars and the music. They both rock in my opinion.

      @richardcline1337 4 года назад

      All any of the car makers want to build these days are cookie cutter cars that look the same across all lines. No style, no class and more plastic than metal. You can bet none of them will live as long as these classics and certainly won't see any being restored. You wouldn't have anything if you did by then.

    I can see that you like the big fins. You missed one with the biggest, the 59 Cadillac. At least in the UK you had those gorgeous Rolls Royce Silver Wraiths.
    I'm American and was a kid in the fifties. I thought the fins were way overdone and
    preferred 50's cars without them, like a 52 Chevy, a 55 Buick and a 55 or 56 Mercury. The 50 and 51 Mercurys were also great looking 50's cars and had no fins.
    I liked the 58 Buick Limited but most critics said it had way too much chrome.

      I'm not surprised I made any mistakes, I have to live through these cars second hand over the internet and other media. I am too young and live in the U.K. to have had these cars common place. I've only ever seen such vehicles twice in my whole lifetime driving around town. Seen a few 70's cars from the U.S. though.
