    Thanks Scott. Love the comparison. The 60 looks wider. I mentioned to my wife and daughters that I was going to watch Cold War Motors this morning (Sunday tradition) and my wife said to my 9 year old “Do you know that show?” To which she replied “Yes, it’s that man in America who fixes all the old cars and swears alot” 😂

      “America” to us here in Canada means only the United States. When we talk about the continent, we say North America… it’s always a little funny to us when someone says we are in “America”! Tell your daughter she is right about the swearing - but Scott is a very nice man in real life.

    Great episode! A close look and comparison of these two fantastic cars!
    The fact that the 2-door 1960 is a splice onto a 4-door base model Dodge just blows my mind. That you figured out it was possible and pulled it off with the high degree of fit and finish really speaks to your skill and devotion!

    3 things:
    1) The Fury comparison idea was great and very well executed. You are a wealth of knowledge in this arena and a great host.
    2) In your detailed comparison, it was evident that the 59 and 60 were similar - not exact, but indeed similar. If pressed I can appreciate you wanting to keep the 60 because of your amount of loving care in bringing it back to life. I would also go with the 60.
    3) I hope you can stand back and appreciate what a spectacular job you (and your agents) did in getting the 60 to where it stands today. In your comparison, you have a survivor essentially as-made from the factory and your 60 which met the 59 in fit, finish and function. That is a testament to your diligence and ability as an auto restorer. They both are marvelous vehicles of that era, but the 60 has your blood, sweat, and tears and excels in every area of representing Exner's Excess. What I want to highlight is your preservation of automotive history - a history some say was over the top and excessive, yet, it's history. You are to be commended.
    Well done!! Now, on to the 59 Chev, 61 Plymouth, the Kaiser and the Packard! ;-)
    And, finally, I want tickets to the next holiday concert!

    Hi guys! Thanks for tuning in... Something a little different this week: We're going to do a close-up look at the 1959 vs 1960 Plymouth Fury! I have been meaning to make this video ever since I finished rebuilding the 1960 car, and I was running out of time again this year, so here we go! A review of the styling, interiors, drivelines, and of course a drive in each car!
    Hope you enjoy this little diversion; back to the rest of the projects next week as we continue on the1960 Impala, the Citroen SM, the 1959 Buick, and the Volvo S90 salvage...

      Scott, are both red tail lights on the '59 supposed to light up for the brakes? I seem to remember you car only the outer lights work.

  • @GWBridge
    @GWBridge 21 день назад +21

    The 1960 rear fender medallion! My dad was a mechanic, and somehow I came to possess one of these with no idea whatsoever what it was. I knew it came off of some car. That was it. This was only in the mid-60's but the paint was almost gone, and mine has the sailing ship. I repainted it all with model paints. Never did know what this was because Plymouth never used the ship motif when I was growing up. About 50 years pass, and I see a close up photo of a Plymouth with this small pie plate stuck vertical in the fender, and I recognized what it was that I had. I think it's still with me in a box up in the attic.

    You are one rich man - having the ability to resurrect that 1960 Fury and to have it turn out like you have is amazing. And to be fortunate enough to have that awesome 1959! You, sir, are one amazing man. I have been a subscriber for years but as I am getting grey haired myself, I marvel at your drive and your skills and your continued attention to detail. This is a wonderful retrospective video - oddly, perhaps one "should always ask a man who knows" because you just nailed this comparison. Keep up the great work and you are a treasure to the automotive world preserving cars that would have ended up being crushed!

    The 60 Fury is a gaudy, yet absolutely beautiful car. The space age styling is unparalleled. They're certainly underappreciated. It's a work of art.

  • @HoosierDaddy_
    @HoosierDaddy_ 20 дней назад +3

    It's really special to see these together. There can't be many left and I'm glad you're saving these beauties. They used to be a joke, but now they are amazingly sought after because of their detailed, wild, and unique styling. The 57 to 60 Fury may be some of the best looking cars ever made! I love seeing these out on the road.

    Both cars are spectacular. They are sure to draw a smile wherever you take them. I love the fins on the '59 dash. My niece had a friend and her cousin visiting from Poland last week. I was able to take them for a drive in my American classics. They were amazed. It was fun to watch their faces. Nice camera work showing the cars on the road. Love them both! Cheers!

    great comparison of the two years......One thing that would be really great to do in the future is the same thing but, compare the 60 Plymouth to the 60 Chevy when that's done. There are so many amazing features of the Plymouth at the time that truly made them a slightly better car compared to the Ford and GM cars. The doors are bigger, easier to get in and out. The A Pillar slant is opposite a GM, Ford or AMC and don't have the gigantic knee knocker effect and distorted vision in thru the windshield, and then there's the ride quality of the Torsion Bars......they are really noticeable differences to the Ford and Chevy competitors..........little things like the door checks, 2 on the Plymouth, 1 on the Chevy and Ford, the locations of the door handles and door locks on the Plymouth vs the Ford and Chevy, much easier to reach and open....more real gauges rather than idiot lights on the Ford and GM cars.......I love both these cars!!!! They are really special. (I'm so happy now to have my 60 DeSoto Adventurer 2 door hardtop)

    Both of these cars were a part of my childhood. My Mom bought a new Fury in 59 (red with a white top) complete with the "toilet seat" spare tire cover. Later, she bought a used 60 Plymouth same color as yours, but it was a station wagon with the Golden Commando 361 engine. I took the road test for my driver's license in the 59. In 68, she bought a new Dodge Charger. Wish I had that one back!

    I got a 59 Ply. in '65 after I finished the military service and it was my all time favorite vehicle. Wore like iron, got passed down to my mom and then little sister. An amazing, comfortable car that hauled people and took us on trips and just did everything well. It was a south Texas car so was AC and loaded. Good memories. Thanks, Scott and HB.

    Your 1959 and 1960 Plymouths are indeed aesthetically pleasing. They epitomize an era when styling, functionality, and form were paramount. It would be challenging to select a favorite. The most enjoyable aspect of your video is witnessing your driving experience and appreciation for the time and effort you have invested in your vehicles. I thoroughly appreciate your videos.

    Great video comparison.. My Uncle Charlie, who worked at The Post Office in The Bronx, had a 1958 Golden Fury. He was the only one in my N.Y. City based family that owned a car! My father never had a driver's license! Let alone own a car! I remember that car well, even though I was only 10 when he drove me up to The Catskill Mountains on a vacation.. I'm not sure what engine he had, but he loved to show how great 'the pickup' was in that car- meaning when the trans would kick down as he got on it a little bit. It would cruise comfortably all day at 60 mph in 1962...
    I was in that car going upstate N.Y., and we heard the news that Marilyn Monroe had died. It was August 4th., 1962. Some things you never forget.. and Uncle Charlie, and that Plymouth were a great part of my childhood.

  • @jerrymach9961
    @jerrymach9961 21 день назад +8

    Salut Scott
    The most beautiful for me is the 59, and it is true that the rear of the 60 is incredible. It was while watching the reconstruction of the 60 that I subscribed. These are cars that we will never see again, thank you Scott for preserving this excessive American dream of this era. I look forward to one day seeing the progression of the SM but even more so of Citroën traction.
    Bonne continuation,et merci.
    Salutations de France.

    @8avexp 21 день назад +3

    My AMX's license plates say, "Collector Vehicle." It's exempt from emissions testing because of the collector plates, but there's no free lunch. I had to sign a affidavit stating I wouldn't put more than 4500 miles in any given year on it. Our '62 Rambler had a similar lockout feature on its reverse button. If you accidentally pushed it while driving forward, the transmission would not shift into reverse until the car speed dropped below 10 mph. It also had a sliding Park lever. Plus my father ordered front seat belts on it. They were still optional in '62. My father was anti-power brakes. He did not want them, plain and simple. I like the '60 Fury.

    Since it was rumored to be forthcoming, the ‘59/‘60 Fury comparo intrigued me although I’m not a MOPAR guy, except for being a fortunate owner of a ‘67 D100 shortbed with the legendary Slant 6. This master’s level analysis of Exner’s brilliant creations gave me an appreciation for what I hadn’t been paying attention to. Splendid machines whose attributes are so well noted here by one who has been through each, inside and outside. Also, looks like the CWM Halloween gala was a resounding success and appreciated the good news on the ‘25 CWM Calendar. Thanks for your & Bunny’s good efforts in providing us such rich content.

    An old mechanic once told me that he had a 1962 Plymouth Fury with the 318 poly. By only rejetting the carburetor, adding headers, and recurving the distributor he got into the 13s. The 318 poly was also known for 20mpg on the highway easily.

    What a fun comparison of a couple cars I’ll never otherwise get to look at up close. I agree that your ‘60 is the winner because of the almost unbelievable work you put into saving it. But they’re both really fab. Great content!

  • @larrytucker2938
    @larrytucker2938 21 день назад +4

    Two beautiful examples of a stylish period in Plymouth's history. Many hours invested in the 60 but well worth the effort. Our neighbor used to drop my brother and me off @ school on his way to work in his 61 wagon and I dug watching the indicator sliding across the speedo and him palming the oblong wheel. It's been 60 odd years since then and it still looks cool. Thanks to both of you for a memorable video.

    Thanks for the comparison. Dad had a new 58 Belvedere hardtop and then a new 63 Fury Sedan. They were light years apart. 58 was a looker with that sport tone treatment on the side. But that 63 with a Commando 361 could really go. Learned to drive on it. Of the two, the 59 is my choice. Followed every video of your great work on your 60! Bravo

    I very much enjoyed this video. I would prefer the 59, but 1960 was the height (literally) of the "fin" era of American car. These cars characterized American made cars for decades. I grew up in 1957 and 1960 Chrysler Windsors and still remember riding in them. My grandmother had a 1960 Cadillac and my Mom and I drove to California from Wisconsin in that car, and being 16 at the time, I also got to drive it. My all time favorite of the "fin" era was the 1958 Desoto Firesdome.

    A Magnum Opus on the design hallmarks that made the Exner era at its peak the most special of them all, and from someone who knows every nut and bolt of these cars better than almost anybody. This video is the perfect way to cap off these projects, thanks very much for the time you put into this presentation. Cheers!

    Fantastic Scott. The condition of that unrestored 59 is incredible. The fit and finish on the 60 you’ve achieved in the rebuild is pretty darn impressive. You are a craftsman and your passion is obvious. Thank you for sharing all this. You should be very proud of the things you continue to accomplish with your mission of dynamic preservation of these treasures. God bless you and your family.

    The band is back! And with costumes!!!! WINNING! Love the forward look cars. Perhaps it's the color, but for me the 1959 gets my vote. It's smooth and I like the plain bumpers and the somewhat restrained fins. The two-tone on the 1960 is fabulous, but the front end looks angry and the fins are a little bit overdone for my taste. Love the faux spare tire on both. I'd be proud to have either in my motorpool. Scott, I'm happy that you have the pair in yours.

    Step father was a used car salesman and had his own lot like a lot of people had back in the 50s through 60s and he use to drive us around in a 60 Chrysler Imperial and of course it was pink with white interior and as a 10 year old I thought it was really a wealthy person car with all the options it had and my sister and I would sit in it and pretend we were driving it. Things I remember so long ago. My sister passed away in 99 so all I have are the memories.

    Your 59 Plymouth is a beautiful car, probably one of the nicest originals around. However, I prefer the 1960 over the 59. The styling is just better. Got to love the HUGE fins!

    M'y 1959 Sport Fury was the Best car I Ever owned, before or since. (Ive had a number of Mercedes-Benz cars and a Jag XJ6, and none were as good. ( The XJ6 was close, but a bit clunky in comparison.) My Sport Fury had the optional gas heater, a terrific unit for cold weather climates.

    I absolutely love the 59 Plymouth shape even more than the 57 and 58. My brains were on fire when these cars showed up on the the roads in New Zealand. I was made in 1950. We only got the sedans here so the USA was the place to dream about with all the extra glittering options. I love your dedication to originality.

    I’d take the 1960! The optimistic, over the top styling fills me with happiness! Also, because you’d rescued it from a worn state… I could happily enjoy it, keep it perfectly maintained, and put a billion miles on it.
    I’d feel guilty every time I’d put one mile on the 59.

    They are both favorites for me, my neighbor had a blue '59 Fury Convertible that I remember well. Had the gold plate "Made for Peggy Trapp" on the dash. I really appreciate original cars and the back story on how you came into its ownership. The '60 brought me to the channel however. Your skills and dogged determination to graft three into one with such amazing results is in a league unto itself, much respect. Always look forward to your posts. Peace.

    Those Plymouths only look conspicuously exaggerated because they're out of their original context. Those two examples have actually made it into the future. And we're just as star struck as people were when they hit the showrooms of yesteryear!

    The 59 and 60 don't scream space/rocket ship to me, they scream airplane.
    The front fender scoops gives the impression of a wing, and the tail to the tail of an airplane.
    The steering wheel, a yoke.

    • @peteschutza3566
      @peteschutza3566 21 день назад +3

      Yes, but remember that rocket ships for space travel were a thing of the future and looked a lot like these cars in popular sci-fi of the day. Both were inspired by aviation of the time.

    Pure pleasure! Like taking a close look at two "top models" for all their intrinsic beauties and more without feeling ashamed. My folks only had GMs for the longest time and I felt our neighbours who had the '59 Fury were wealthy people. I even asked them that once. They were an older couple, looking maybe in their early '50s. They never took me for a drive but let me salivate washing their car for a quarter.. (A lot of money back then) My mothers parents never had a car. My grandfather had driven wagons drawn by horses and mules in WWI and only complained of the screams of these poor animals when hit by shells whereas my other grandfather who was younger and a sniper later drove Ramblers. As awful as it may seem to say, my driving grandfather with all his reported shell shock by my father. He always looked happy to me and I always felt closer to. Kindred spirits. This episode I will set aside and watch again, again and again. Merci.

    A wonderful comparison Scott! At nearly 70 yrs. old, I find myself really appreciating this era cars more and more. Cars I remember from my childhood. Since I was a weird child, I would read voraciosly the reviews of 60's cars, written by Tom M cCahill in Popular Mechanics magazine. He penned pearls such as "The 60 Falcon with the six and auto. was a real wet noodle. It couldnt pull the lid off a stewpot in a high wind"... Absolute gems! Cheers to all!

  • @MartsGarage
    @MartsGarage 21 день назад +5

    Thanks for sharing your wealth of knowledge and insights into these two wonderful old Plymouths. Very interesting. They look similar, but are in fact very different when you list out all the differences. The generic door pressing is even more noticeable in the Chrysler and DeSoto where the big fin starts immediately after the door. Fascinating stuff and your observations re the styling going out of style is absolutely spot on. I had a Ford Consul Capri (1963) and the roof was low like yours and it had foam backed headlining glued directly to the underside of the roof. The dash mounted mirror makes sense in the coupe because if mounted higher all you see is the rear of the inside of the roof. I got into trouble once in my Capri because I couldn't see the flashing roof lights on a cop car that was following me and wanted me to stop. Really enjoyed it (always do). Thanks for making my Saturday night complete. All the best, Mart in England.
