I am old. Almost 70....lived through all these classics on the road. Loved it then....love it now.
At 77, I too am old, but I still have great memories of having owned some of these beauties…
I was in high school from '69 to '72. A close buddy's folks owned a Chrysler-Plymouth-Dodge dealership so he always had a "demonstrator" to use, mostly Chargers & Road Runners. Never got stuck driving a minivan because there was no such thing!
Not only do I recall them, I had them, I still have some.
I must be getting old, I was around before any of those cars were made.👍🏻👍🏻
Me too. I'm sneaking up on 80.
Me too... way before.
Your NOT Alone Man !! lol
@@Wilett614 Lets try 84!
When you say old, it just bring a smile on my lips, on most of those cars I know them by heart, their entire mechanical and electrical system, I was born and raised into them, now that is pure entertainment, about being old is the best thing ever happened to me, now I am on vacation full time, most kind of you for sharing it with us, blessings to you and your love ones, from the endless summer paradise Puerto Rico Jesus Torres.
I'm 59 years old and I remember all of these automobiles from these eras
especially the 70's and 80's thanks for showing the memories of the past
especially down here in Oklahoma where I am Thank You.🇺🇲🤠👋🇺🇲
Loved dad's red 1967 Charger ❤
LOL, I remember when Model T Fords we’re still on the road, one of my teachers drove a 1917 Dodge. In 1949 a family friend sold Oldsmobile, he drove a Rocket 88 demonstrator with a clear plexiglass hood, at the time nothing could beat it, this one had manual transmission.
I really wish the guy writing these scripts did some research. So many major errors.
Agreed ! You can surely TELL this guy NEVER saw these cars back in the day they were New lol
It's a BOT, what did you expect?
These kinda vids could be made into a pretty good drinking game.
So many of the 1955 Chev clips were not originals but modified custom jobs....still enjoyable !
Our family had 3 Mustangs during the 1960s. The last one being a fastback. Good memories.
❤At 73 I remember the mid 50s.There were lots of late. 40s still around in rust free British Columbia Canada.
I grew up in the 1970s. My first car at age 16, in 1975, was a base model Dodge Challenger. My parents financed it for me, But I made the payments. All of them. There was no insurance law in my state back then. I drove that car for 7 years, and traded it for a 1972 Rally Nova. I have since owned many much older cars.
I also had a '72 Rally Nova, black on black.
A friend owned a '71 Charger,I drove it once,it was an awesome experience,a beautiful,powerful car.
Thanks God im so old so i remember them, Best and most beautiful cars ever made.
The Volkswagen Beetle delivered fuel economy back in the day. My mother had one in the early 1960's. She told us stories about the car getting 38 miles to the gallon back when most cars were getting 8 to 16 . The Beetle was also a reliable car with the 1300 and 1500 engines.
Sigh, I remember. That said I realize what an amazing era I was fortunate to live. Today cars, and most everything are all the same with no character or power.
I'll be 90 years old next year and I remember watching new FORDS being made in 1946 at the FORD Plant in Somerville, Massachusetts.
I ended up owning one, a convertable, like Biff's car in Back to the Future......
I remember all these cars as I was born in the late 50s. We would occaisionally still see 1930s cars on the roads.
In the late 50s and early 60's our family car was a 55' Olds 88 2dr/ht. The first time I saw the Mustang live was at the 64-65' NY Worlds Fair.
I guarantee no 60's or 70's Charger had a V6, and not even a straight 6. The base engine was the 318 V8- the slant 6 from Chrysler went in the Dodge Dart and the Plymouth Valiant and their Dodge A-100 series vans.
I had a '67 Dodge Coronet that had a slant 6.
. I had a 69 Charger with a 225 slant 6 cylinder with a 3 spd standard on the column. (3 on the tree) Rare and factory stock.
@@JohnSmith-cf4gnOK- but that was NOT a V6- as stated in the video. And I looked it up- Dodge made 462 with the six.
@@timmccreery6597 I know. They didn't make V6s back then.
@@JohnSmith-cf4gnGM had a V6 that went into Buick Skylarks in the 60's and some GMC pickups, but Ford and Chrysler were years from V6's. That was my objection to the video. I think sometimes video producers see "6 cylinder engine" and assume V6. Of course the same mistake can be made with 8 cylinder engines.
The only one of these that was noted for having any shortcomings was the 55 Ford. If you didn't change the oil regularly AND use detergent oil, there was a good chance that the rockers would quit getting oil.
Yes im.old now! I remember my dads cars and trucks from the 1950s and 60s
Actual 64, Plymouth Barracuda. Out before the mustang, barely
I had a 65, with 4 on floor, and those cooool exhaust resonators. Mine had a 273 Hypo, with 4 barrel, and a mild cam. BLACK with the wide red racing stripe. I got so many tickets, and lost license for 6 months of the loanly months. then bought a used 66 dart station wagon, with a 3 on the tree, and a slant six ! Loved that little wagon for it was NOT noticed by the cops. drove it until 1979, when bought my first 79 Dodge truck. Also a slant 6 with three on tree.
I think this announcer is from a foreign country. The bettle was known as slug bug, not punch buggy. As kids, when u saw 1 ,1st, u said slug bug & punch your sibling in the arm they couldn't retaliate until they saw another 1 & they had to see it first. Great fun on long rides to relatives place w long boring h/ways
@@siseley1 My daily driver from 1988 until 1998, was a Red on Red, (the rarest colour combo) 1965 Formula S Commando Barracuda with a rebuilt 273, a 904 tranny, high stall torque converter, into a 3:23 8 1/4" rearend. Very similar to yours. The Commando also had high flow manifolds into twice pipes. I am sure you know. Drove that thing for over 150,000 miles, until I could no longer keep up with the inevitable cancer in that early B-body. Absolutely LOVED that sled!
April Fool's Day, 1964.
1964/1/2 Mustang . I not only remember them, I OWN one. I also owned a 1967 Mustang and a 1970 Camaro Rally Sport. I also still have a 1996 Mustang. My sister's first car was a 1957 Chevy Nomad that she got as a graduation present from high school.
She must have gotten a bad rep. As loose girl to cruise a station wagon around at high school age
@@rogerdodrill4733 She had graduated from high school and had a job, silly. Her cruising days were behind her and since my dad was one of the town doctors that eeveyone knew, everyone also knew and me. Anything we might do to earn a bad reputation was strictly off limits as it would get back to my father within 2 days of the time it happened
The 53 - 55 6 cylinder Corvette would have been great had it been equipped with a manual transmission instead of 2 speed Powerglide, and a rear sway bar.
The 55 Vette had the either the Blue Flame 6 (155 hp) or the 265ci V8 (195hp)... and either the 2spd "glide" which was the original "cast iron" case... heavy and not as durable as the 2nd gen Aluminum "glide", or the 3 spd on the floor. The 55 Vette had either a 3.55:1 rear, with the Glide, or a 3.70:1 with the 3 spd. All my FED's (front engine dragsters) had the aluminum powerglide (1957 & later) in them... absolutely loved them, tough as nails and with a manual valve body and heavy duty clutches, etc... could easily handle in excess of 1,200 hp.
Front sway bar is more important for flat, no body roll, cornering
I owned and loved to drive my first car..... It was a 1964 Dodge Dart. I got it in the 1980's and it was my favorite car . You never forget your first car and that was mine. And if I could I would get another one. Love from Marysville California
I guess I am old then, as I am as old as those 55 Chevys.
HA HA! l'm older, sucks to be this old huh? But at least WE got to drive some of that beautiful old iron, something 99% of these kids kids today will never know. Back in the day when you could open the hood a see the ground on ether side of the motor.
Wow! I owned 3 of those vehicles shown. Well, the Mustang was a 1966, but close enough. Okay, make it 4. I forgot about the 1963 VW Beetle I had.
The Crown Victoria and Fairlane are two different cars --- both very nice, in their own ways
I am 72 years old and I also remember most of these cars. My parents had a 1956 Chevrolet BelAir. At the time my parents were a young married couple with a growing family of children and the family had to move from Cleveland Ohio to Los Angeles California. My father and a friend of his drove a brand new 1956 Chevrolet from Cleveland to Los Angeles. Since money was tight with a young growing family the only option on this 1956 Chevrolet BelAir was the optional heater defroster. The car was equipped with the old inline 6 cylinder engine, not the new V-8 engine. Also the car had the three speed column shift manual transmission, not the new Powerglide Automatic transmission. Also there was no clock and no car radio.
My parents also had a 55 Chevrolet Bel Aire four door when I was a kid they kept it for quite a few years as I recall not sure what was under the hood as I was quite young at the time I'm 64 at present. But it was quite the car and if I"m not mistaken it was the car my dad was driving when my front upper teeth were knocked out when he hit a huge rut when I was about four or five years old while returning from a blueberry picking trip. I apparently did a face plant into the dash at the time he hit that rut or was it a huge chunk of tree trunk I don't recall exactly what it was, Just that my face hit the hard unpadded dash of that car full force knocking loose the four top teeth in my mouth left hanging by threads of nerves from the roots I think I recall that it was extremely painful but like I said I was only about 1 or 5 years old at the time, could have been four as my brother wasn't born at the time and we're roughly four years apart,.
We had a 55' Olds Rocket 88 with heater, radio and auto trans.😁
I'm 83 and worked on many of these in a local garage. The first Mustang had an inline six NOT a V8.
Yes, the 58 Fury in "Christine" was red, but the production Fury in 1958 was only available in a Buckskin Beige color. If you wanted a different color, you would have had to pay to dealer to have it repainted for you. That 58 Plymouth you are showing is a Belvedere.
My dad bought a new Belvedere in 58, Black & White. The "Push Button" 727 Torqueflite Tranny's reverse piston was constantly going out on him. In 1955, he had come home with a brand new Plymouth Savoy with the "flathead 6" (last year for the 6 ??)... Ughhhhh!! A new 55 Chevy Belair would have been Wayyy nicer!!
The last year for that flathead six was 1959 and as for th1955 Plymouth it was quite a Change over the 54.
53 vettes had a straight 6
Being over 80, I owned several of these wonderful cars. It is unfortunate that you didn't include some video on the Olds Toronado. I owned a 67, and loved that car.
I had one back around 1975, it was my first husband's. I believe it was a 1969. Good times!
The Oldsmobile Rocket 88 was a performance car, but not a muscle car, (the term "Muscle Car" originated with the 1964 Pontiac GTO.). Also, that first Olds V8 was underrated. It made more than 135 horsepower.
Icon. The MOST overused word since Amazing.
Ugh, I know.
You could not get a V6 in any Chrysler product in the 60s. The Charger's base engine was the Slant 6, an inline 6 cylinder. The only V6s available in the 60s were the Buick V6, later sold to Kaiser Jeep, and an Italian car called the Lancia. All other 6s were INLINE 6s, not V6s.
GMC pickups had a V6 at that time. Not offered by Chevy. Had weird shaped valve covers compared to most engines.
Yes, those Land Yachts were great
And todays foreign cars look like boat anchors.
Who's old? These cars don't look so old to me. My first four cars were a 1937 Ford, a 1949 Ford and a 1050 Chevy and a 1958 VW. I bought the '37 in 1959.
@jjhor yeah I would say having a 1050 Chevrolet is pretty old😂😂😂😂,
Old,I can remember when you could buy a home for 6000.00 dollars
me the same but people vote for ruthless criminal repub corporations that own allll reps!!!! so suck it up it will not get better people will believe and buy any thing. designed to .keep the slaves in poverty.
In 1964 my brother-in-law bought a new Chev Impala SS . A builder was building a new house and wanted that car so bad he took it for the down payment on the house. The house was $16,000. Time when both houses and cars were within the average working man reach.
I'm 81. I think so. I remember cars from the 40s.
10:24 So that is what a Blue Flame 6 looks like. I have learnt something.
I was born in the mid 50's and when I was 5 or 6 I got to ride i our neighbors 59 caddy convertable. I thought it was the coolest car ever!
11:42 Those ain't no Dual Stacked headlights!
The 1960 Chrysler 300F was a better-looking car than anything Chrysler/ Stellantis has put out in the 21st century!
Automobile styling and design died the day Lee Iacocca passed.
Harley Earl.
I bought a 1972 corvette in 72 for$5200.00 350 hp with automatic and a/c. Still have it to this day.
Growing up with these cars is a lot different than hearing about them 50, 60 or even 70 years later. Luckily, i still have the fun of owning and driving a 65 Galaxy 500.
03:15 Thats the NY Worlds Fair. I was a kid somewhere in that crowd as my first time seeing the Mustang live as it rotated on thar pedestal.
The ford pavilion had a ride that featured 1st yr mustang convertibles on a conveyer belt setup that I rode on at ny fair. We drove cross country in 61 nomad 9 pass sw from Denver to attend
ah those were the days, It started withe a 53 Olds super 88 2 door sedan that ran like the wind. I remember my 66,68 and 71 bugs which turned into a 63 Corvair Monza Spyder Tooo have those cars today to set along my Subaru outback with the WRX motor, what a ride that is..
No stacked headlights on a 58 Dodge.
@plainolded5030
11:40 "Dual stacked headlights" made me wonder also.
Never heard that term. I thought it meant on top of each other and not next to each other, though high.
RIGHT ON!!!!
Oh God. Suddenly I’m feeling my 70+ years. Holy moly! 😮
At 70-I remember them all!
I own a '57 red & white Thunderbird. Whenever we are out in her, she bever fails to get a lot of love. Named her Destiny. Seemed fitting.
Never did Chrysler put a V6 in a big body Charger. It would have been a big dud.
They did put Slant Sixes in them .
And to think that I once bought a 6 cyl, automatic good looking and running 56 chevy for 50 bucks. We now own a 65 Dodge Dart. When we met, my wife owned this one and I had a '64". 48 years ago.
I owned a 1967 Fairlane GT . Forrest green with white interior , bucket seats and a full console . 390 four speed .
Always in love with these cars!
Had a 68 Plymouth GTX 440 automatic,man what a fun ride. Sunoco 260 premium fuel was 23 cents a gallon,$2.00 and drive all night with my girlfriend. Life was so good ! except for Vietnam.
The Dodge Charger NEVER had a V-6, a least the real ones didn't.
made me subscribe, great work my brother!!!
The Thunderbird sure looks great and is a pleasure to drive - as long as the road is straight. If you want to drive curves in a sporty mode, you better forget it.
A car I had that is overlooked is an Opal GT the baby Vet.
What about DeSoto? You mainly focused on Ford even though there were companies with much more successful vehicles!
This is cool😊😊😊😊
Awesome video! These are cars my parents drove or remember people driving. My sis-in-law drove a 1966 Ford Mustang. I remember the 1958 Plymouth Fury from the Stephen King/John Carpenter horror classic *"Christine".* Another Mopar car that I've come to like was the 1969 Dodge Charger. I remember it from the TV series *"The Dukes of Hazzard".*
Yep all beautiful cars they were. So many memories that young people today will never know. Cars are just transportation these days. No wonder young people are mad. And the best part the women didn't hate us all.
19:37 It is funny how modern technology overshadows those old muscle cars. I have a 2008 Cadillac CTS V-6 with direct injection that produces 305 HP and does 0-60 in 5.8 seconds with a top speed of a little over 155 MPH.
U should trade it for an old shelby that will hold its value better & be as fast
Where is the Packard,?s, studebakers and Hudsons, plus Willy's ? I'm 92 and still remember these great Independents
7:58 I preferred the drop nosed model that followed. To me it is still the best looking car on the road. I never had the money to buy one but have always lusted for one.
Yes I'm old and getting older by the minute. I remember my first car was a 69 Cougar.
The 64 Mustang was Labeled as the Secretaries Car it was a Rebodied Falcon , the T-Bird was cool , Frank Senatra Drove one ...
Lots of teens had a Ford Coupe. 1950s
14:00 Thats no eff 69' Charger...its a 68"!!!
11:37 Oh She'll start... you'll need these
still have my 56 chevy an six corvairs
an i have a 69 mach 1 tang
I AM 66 AND A STROKE VICTIM OF THE COVID VACCINE .I DROVE A 1967 CHEVY BEL AIR IN THE 70'S AND 80'S CARS BACK THEN, RARELY LASTED OVER 100,000MILES!!!
13:15 Chrysler Corporation didn't offer a V6 in any passenger car in 1969.
Those first two Chevy's originally had 6 cylinder engine.s as the gold "V" is missing from the hood and trunk lid.
Corvair .NE. Corvette vw67 last year for 6volt AND swing axle!!!
I had a 68 Charger with a 318 in 1977, it wasn't that bad on gas and rode okay...
The first Mustang was a 1964.5 and registered as a '65, thus there was never a '64 The '64 1/5 models had no side chrome flares styling. I owned a '65 with the 389 V8, which sported around 200HP. More than enough to push that Falcon chassis it was designed around. Sporty looking, tail happy little cars - nothing extraordinary. I bought a '73 Opel Rallye Manta, I am sure could out handle the Stang, but very low on the HP, even rowing the gears and giving it the beans!
Maybe 289
@@deaneddie873 Yes, I hit the wrong key. I had a 289.
I knew the 57 Chevy would be a classic even before it was a Classic!
What about the Pontiac GTO?

I'm not old, I just go to car shows!!!
Is this part 1? You missed the 1960's Pontiac Firebird and Trans Am. Brilliant cars
the 1964/1965 Mustang was conceived as a car for the secretaries. The 300 6 cylinder and the 289 V8 were both reliable but hardly muscle engines coming out of the factory.
You're probably thinking of the 200 L6. The 300 L6 was installed in Ford trucks and vans but never in passenger cars.
@jamesbaker7158.... Ford, Never put the big 300ci "6" in their "Pony Cars", nor Any of their cars. The big 300ci "6" was only put in large vans, trucks... and some were found in Checker taxi cabs.
The hi po 289 had 271 hp, made lite wt. Unibody go pretty fast
Hw about showing examples that aren't extensively modified?
3:46 The '57 Thunderbird price would buy you a 'new Studebaker nd you'd still be able to buy a nice two-year-old Buick with the change.
You youngsters never rode a '41 Hudson or the improved 50 Hudson, or the supercharged Kaiser (supercharging a flat six to get V8 power) or the heavy postwar Chryslers (half car/half tank). Visiting relatives during WW2, seeing their car in the garage on blocks cause they couldn't get gas or tires (rationed). Or having a visit from my Uncle (Army Sarg) driving his halftrack on city streets in Brooklyn, NY. Or my grandfather's Baker electric delivery trucks serving his bakeries in Brooklyn, the best in cheesecake.
In the late sixties had me a Volvo 1800, still love that car.
How do you go from a 1963 Covair to a 1963 Corvette...
At 1:53, what is that thing hanging on the right side of the can. It look like a hasp with a padlock. I remember those cars. I had one.
Caught my eye also. It's a camera used for some of the moving shots from the side.
Thank you Ed!
@@laurielenig9939 Yep, likely an action cam of some sort, like a GoPro, affixed with either a suction cup mount or it's magnetic.
The fury did not have "stacked" headlights. Better research needed.
Noticed that too!
I owned a 1965 and 67 Fury and both had stacked headlights. A signature of its design.
What about the Chevy 1963 and 64 impala? Surprise you left these out.
Where is the Pontiac GTO?
Trailers for sale or rent
Rooms to let 50cents
No phone no pool no pets
I ain't got no cigarettes!
Ah yes I remember it well!
But now I can't tell one from the other!!
My milkman (yes we had it delivered!!) Won a mustang in a raffle and we loved to get in and go around the block. And George Maharis and Martin Milner did their thing on route 66. You can get your kicks on route 6-t-6!! And these were to combat the British sports cars MG and Triumph (postwar) and they won the market very handily. But them Duke boys... I ignored them in favor of Daisy short shorts!!! And I loved the beetle during the pre embargo price wars. At .23.9 cents a gallon you could fill er up for $2.00 A tankful what a life it was! But now greed and graft have ruined it for humans who struggle to eat and keep a roof over their heads! SAD for us, good for them I guess, I wouldn't know I'm not them I'm us 💸😡
The charge was made iconic because of Peter Fonda in dirty mary and crazy Larry long before the dukes
These cars look new to me, where are the Model A''s, the MOdel T's, where are the '33 Fords and 36 Cheve's, the '28 Buick's and the '39 Pontiac's ??? ..............
Very few people alive now, when they were made. Most are interested in their youth. Not their parents, c no memory.
What about the 56 Buick Special,, my first car with a V8 motor, you didn't mention it.
