The T-bird was not offered as a retractable, the Dart was homely but reliable, the Cyclone was a good basic vehicle with potential, the Marlin was a stylish car... and this idiot hasn't got a CLUE what the Thunderbolt was about. He should do vids about Barbie Dolls!
This was written by someone who has no idea about cars from that era. The 1962 Dodge Dart was available with a 413 max wedge engine that was unbeatable on the drag strip. I would say this is the worst and dumbest automotive video.
Okay, maybe I'm misunderstanding something. I though t-birds had a convertible with a roof that could lower and raise as a "soft" top but I was unaware that it had a hard top roof that could retract like say, 57 Ford Fairlane Skyliner. Am I wrong 30:01 ? Also, decades removed from the 60's and Ralph Nader's book, I thought that the Corvair was being seen as a much better car than what people had been led to believe. I can remember my dad being totally biased against the car, possibly unfairly. I'll have to take you guys opinions about the Darts performance. I never liked the design, but I think that I read that the early 60s Chrysler designs was Virgil Exners way of getting back at 30:01 them because of their dissatisfaction with him. I always thought that most of the designs made the cars look like they were angry. I know that several of them were totally different from anything offered then, or even now for that matter.The 63 Studebaker wagon would most likely be a big hit now. In the 60s my family had an early 60s Comet (sadly not a Cyclone) and a 64 Ford Fairlane ( but sadly again not a Thunderbolt) back to back during that decade. The Fairlane met a tragic end when it caught fire and was mostly toast before the fire department made it to where we were. My mom got tired of my dads wheelin' and dealin' with cars and my father bought her a huge 69 Buick Lesabre that we kept until they bought their first ever new car, a 77 Cutlass Supreme, a car that I totally fell in love with. I don't remember ever seeing a Marlin, but it looks a lot like the first of the Dodge Chargers.
T bird had a retractable roof, but it was not a hard top, it was a rag top. the Fairlane Skyliner was the only car made with a Retractable hard top, in 1957 58 and 59.
I'm not sure about off-roading but if you can find an early SA Book that covers small and big block Chevs there is an article about how to fit a Big Block into the Corvair with some outside the box thinking. To top it off you use the factory manual transmission. As the Book is from the late 1960's there is no Photo Shop 😮
I have 2 questions.Number one, Am I the only one that thinks this guy loves the sound of his own voice? And number 2, How long did it take for the guy to get fired that named a plain looking, underpowered car the Mercury "Comet"😅
Besides, the average John Q Public couldn't go down to his local Ford Dealer and order a Thunderbolt- let alone a 427 side-oiler FE Engine unless you were a noted drag racer with creds in the FoMoCo establishment, so let's put that lie to rest right now!
My god, where do I start with the corrections. 1) Yes, to me, the T-Bird was a homely car... but I think this guy got it mixed up with the 1957 Retractable Ford Galaxie, 2) Yes, again, the 1962 Dodge Dart was homely- but anemic it was not, it could be had with a 273, 318 small block, 383 and the much sought out 413 big block- wedge. in 1962 I lived next door to Jim Travelers Dodge/Plymouth dealership. And, OMG who is this guy... I owned a 1964 Ford Fairlane 500 with a 289 +4-Bbl, and 4-spd and it was not a generic automobile by any standards... the only thing I did not have was the K-code 289 like some of the Mustangs of the era! Get a clue dude! Research sir, research! There are still enough of us old cats who have owned these cars. FYI The Thunderbolts were built strictly for Drag Racing ONLY! My Fairland 500 was built for the consumer market and, no... the Fairlane 500 of 1964 was not a GT it wasn't even called a GT until 1966! And even then (1966) If you had a GT it usually was a manual shift car and the GT[As] were automatics.
Yeah, The author and narrator should both go back to school. They need to learn how to do research, read and interpret what they are reading. I see these things frequently and have yet to see one of these that weren't chocked full of errors. I will give them this much, the 1962 Chrysler "B" bodies were odd looking. Either you loved them or you didn't. Nothing else he said about the 1962 Dodge Dart was accurate.
Another Ai (artificial intelligence) production. The word "artificial" certainly applies in this video as just about everything stated is just not true. This is an ongoing problem with it's lack of true facts...videos being created by people who no nothing about the subject matter. Imagine what the world will be like when we have to deal with this nonsence on just about every subject ? Someday everything we hear will have no concrete knowledge about the real truth of the matter. Nice pictures though !

AMC Marlin wasn't that bad
T bird had no retractable roof ever.

Who the hell takes a 60's Corvair Offroading ?

Corvair wasn't bad either
Sorry, but it was. I'm only 62 years old, but I have been around enough of them to know how bad they really were.
Ford Thunderbird wasn't bad either
Wow this guy is seriously miss informed on these classic cars. Please do more research before posting videos.
62. Dodge Dart is the coolest car ever made
I have 2 questions.Number one, Am I the only one that thinks this guy loves the sound of his own voice? And number 2, How long did it take for the guy to get fired that named a plain looking, underpowered car the Mercury "Comet"😅

You would not know a bad car if it bit you on the butt !

😮 Clearly done by someone that doesn't know anything about cars. Completely based on opinions without true facts or knowledge. Thumbs down, As Whole.
