- Cars in the 1960s were starting to change. People were wanting power and auto manufactures were delivering on those demands. Body styles were sleek and the cars were large. No one had any concern over gas prices or miles per gallon. The 60s gave way to some iconic cars such as the Mustang and Camaro which have remained popular to this day. In this video we will have a look at some 1960s snapshots of people with cars.

My dad came back from Vietnam in 1969, he bought a brand new 69 GTX 440. When he died in 1985 he gave me the car and told me to take good care of it not hot rod it . I kept it all original I still have it to this day, the only parts that have been changed on it or the wearable parts like belts hoses tune up, starter. I even have the original Rims still on it 67, 281 MI.
Thank you for watching and sharing what you and your father have shared. What a treasure you have in multiple ways. Those are the best kinds to have.
IDK your pops & he is passed, SO, I can only do the next best thing, THANK YOU for your dads brave services. For that it is worth, I love those in the Military and wish I could meet all that did serve back in the day because THEY FOUGHT to keep us safe while we slept. THANK YOU SIR
@@mikehobson711 I did serve 7 years as 62-F10 Forklift & heavy equipment operator. One thing we have in common, we both love our country.
Hadn't thought about it in decades, but yeah, I remember the older guys in late 60s / early 70s in military and buying a cool car either on return from overseas or if stationed in USA. In my little town they'd cruise through town in their new cool ride, park somewhere on "the drag", and we'd go by and look at their new car. RIP those that didn't make it through Vietnam...
Props to you for preservation! I like the speedometer in single no#s linear up to "15"!
Freedom, such a classic concept that deserves a revival.
Thank you for watching!
How Profound
Back in line! Lol
I'm 67 and work in a restoration shop.l have worked on about 75% of these cars here in California. Now and then we get these old cars with under 50,000 miles, all stock time machines. I'm in shock that there's still these cars coming into our shop with original paint. Thanks!
I had a 1972 Dodge Dart swinger it was red with a black top and had an aftermarket Craig equalizer hooked up to the radio 😊
I bought a '67 Camaro over the summer. It was built in the Van Nuy's GM plant on 10-21-66. Very early Camaro still has the original paint.
Where's your shop if i may ask?
@@dst1311 San Bruno, we are one year behind on about eight cars, can't take anymore cars in
@@sampeep2527 How cool!😎
60's, 70's, 80's these were special times.. Decades of decadence and happiness... Glad to report the American car bug also reached our South African shores :)
I agree, I don't think those days will ever happen again! Now its one day at a time! Awful!
I passed my drivers test in my dads 1966 Buick Riviera. That thing was a beast! Big V8 with about 8 miles to the gallon. At $.25 a gallon. Loved the 60’s it was a great time to grow up.
Buick really had some nice cars. You really felt protected in these old cars but I'm glad I'm not paying for gas in them now. Thank you for watching and sharing some of your memories.
Hi there Paul 🤗 hope you are doing well there in Ohio 👍
I was just telling Rhett my home town was put on the world map last weekend when we held the UCI World Championships here in Wollongong. The men’s race was 266.9 kilometres and it was a beautiful day, the women got a wet day for theirs. It was good to see, although they were travelling so fast if you blinked you missed them 😂 the winner was from Belgium and only 22 yrs old an Aussie came out of nowhere for the bronze medal.
@@swansfan6944 Hi how are you? Doing fine here. That would of been fun to see. I googled it on line. That’s a long bike ride. I’ve gone on 20 mile round trip rides an I was tired for 2 days afterwards. I was going slow enough that you wouldn’t have any trouble seeing me. 😁
@@paulstan9828 my husbands done 170 kilometres but not in a race, just at his own pace. They are definitely fit and have no health issues unlike me. I just can’t wait to hopefully go around a few blocks without flaring up the arthritis in my knees. Still in physio since having arthroscopic surgery on both knees at the end of May, made my right knee worse but I’m working hard in my physio program. Replacements in a few more years if I don’t come good.
@@swansfan6944 I hope it starts to get better for you. I know how you feel arthritis can be painful. Unfortunately it’s something that usually comes with age. It raises its ugly head with me at times too. 😁
Cars of the 60's era! Definitely style and class! Rolling works of art ♥️
Yes they were. Thank you for watching!
I wasn’t even born until 1970. But I was conceived in 1969 lol
Were you born in August? My oldest brother was. My parents got married in October 1969.
Conceived in '69, that deserves the obligatory "nice"...🤣
Was it in a car? 😉😁🤷♂️
@@joeheid4757
Back seat 65 ford galaxy.
plenty of room 😂
My first car was a new 1967 Firebird convertible; and the stories I could tell you….wow… the 60’s were awesome!
Thank you for watching and sharing what you had kyliefan7!
I didn’t have my drivers license in the 1960s but my first car ever was a 1969 Plymouth Road Runner. There are some awesome cars made during the 60s. God bless you and your family. Duane.
The first hot rod I ever saw was a 69 440 4-speed Road Runner. I was in a phone booth with my mom at a liquor store and these two guys pulled out of the parking lot sideways through 3 gears, fish tailing down the street. I was like, "WOW! LOOK AT THAT!" and never forgot it. 5 years old, can still see it today. It's the reason I still own MoPars 50 years later.
@@CarsandCats similar storyline at 10YO in the 80's-2000 a red 540 hemi charger ( own one now, mixed feelings as is not the red hero car from my childhood but i did get to meet him and the car year's later on and buy spares for my 383-auto charger ) pulled a wheeli for 20 or so feet effortlessly and a burn out on both ends of the wheel stand on main-street aka not a prep'd surface, at the time i whated a charger just i didn't care what brand of drivetrain was in it after the red-car i was hooked on BBM/hemi and turban power and had to be a stick/Manuel car if i could get my paws on one
Really enjoyed this. So many great memories. I miss those days like crazy. Thanks for the upload.
You're welcome and thank you for watching Gregg!
Great pictures!
I was born in the mid 60’s but the first car I remember that my Mama drove was a red 1950’s era pickup. And an Edsel.
Thank you for watching and sharing your memories!
We were so proud of our cars.
Even if they were old clunkers.😂 . My dad bought our first new car in 1968. Chevy Bel Aire.. for $2000.00. Big money back then.
That really would have been a great new car to have. Thank you for watching and sharing your memories.
@@RhettyforHistory it was. Lasted a long time. Great in the snow.
Had to tell you about when I got lucky enough to buy an immaculate, fully original 1970 Impala from my best friends insurance agent father who got it when one of his customers died. It literally had 51,000 miles on it. And I stole it for six hundred dollars. Whatta cream puff car. With the 350 4 barrel purring under the hood. 😒 😎
My parents had Plymouth's. I guess my favorite memories was sitting in the backseat with my brothers, going anywhere and everywhere. My favorites were beaches and mountains.
Those are always great places to go in my opinion! Of course, like you, I enjoy going anywhere and everywhere. Thank you for watching and sharing your memories!
My dad was a Buick man. Happy times. Brings back great memories of my family. Thanks 😊
There really were some nice Buicks on the market. Thank you for watching and sharing what your Dad liked.
Ahh what memories..My friend you strike gold again.
the 60s
1st gallon of gas 24.9, next day gas war 18.9... 58 cushman eagle , 63 VW bug, 64 Chevelle, 65 draft board, 66 a bad place for soldiers, 68 marriage, see you took me back to some very good places, cars music and life to introduction to adulthood. Thanks my friend... Keep on with your great work....
I really like those gas prices you mentioned. Nothing better than a good old gas war. That's something we really haven't had in a long time. You had some nice cars too. Thank you for watching and sharing some of your memories of the time.
Fellows, the gas wars continued well into late 1970s many areas. I have fun memories of my Dad's rivalries even after the oil embargos and such.👍🙂
Hey Rhett, I got my license in 1970.
My best friends brother bought a 1967 Roadrunner. That thing was a beast.
I loved the 60's cars. When I was in high school most of my friends had 60's cars.
Gas was cheap and man, life was great.
The Road Runner did'nt come out until 68.
Remember the Roadrunner hitting the scene. Then the rare Super bird. We're about the same age.
Great photos! I was in my pre-teen and early teen years in the 60's. I really didn't take much notice to most of the cars back then. They were just "normal" to me. Now I nearly tear up when I really see what we had then!
There really were some great cars in the 60s. As a kid most people don't think about what your parents had. Thank you for watching!
True! Me, too!
My 1st car in 1985 was a 67 Galaxy passed down from a surrogate grandpa. I wish I still had it
That was a nice first car! I really love those old Galaxy cars. Thank you for watching and sharing your memories of it.
One still sees a few on local roads. A drive in style hamburger joint has five classic "drive -ins" from May through September. See lots classics from 1960s there.
I have my grandpa's 1967 F100 that he bought brand new, he left it to me when he passed in 1994. I have a picture of him and my grandma standing next to it in their driveway the day he brought it home, it's literally a copy of the couple standing next to the yellow pickup truck at the 2:10 mark.
Oh how nice that the truck has been kept in the family. That doesn't seem to happen a whole lot. I do love those ford trucks from around that year. Thank you for watching and sharing some of your memories and what you have.
I wasn't lucky enough to be old enough to see these beautiful cars everywhere like it used to be, but the best I can do is keep them around and save them. Nowadays these cars are simply time machines. I've fixed up several old cars but I have a 1966 Ford F100 that feels like a time capsule and is a pleasure to drive. There have been times when my modern car fails me and that old pickup resumes daily-driver duty. I even still put it to work a bit despite it's age, because after all, that's what it was built for, not to be some street-rod or something.
The 1960s car and life style was a cool time .
Wow. What memories... Thanks
You're welcome and thank you for watching!
My Dad had a really cute red Corvair and I learned to drive it in the late 1960's. I just loved that car! My first car was a light blue Volkswagon Beetle that I also loved. My sister's first car was a yellow Camaro. She later sold it to my brother and people would stop him and ask to buy it because it was so cool. A guy down the street drove a brand new Mustang that he won at the nearby gas station contest. He was very proud driving that car all over the neighborhood. It WAS a great era for cars!! And, the cars had color- Red, blue, yellow, and I even had a friend with a purple car! Today, everything is black, white, or grey with occasional blue or red. We need to get color back in the cars!
You're right about cars having colors. Even the interiors had color. I'm not a fan of these greys and dull colors that are on the market now. It's not only on cars but also homes and businesses. Sounds like you all had some nice cars and I can certainly see people offering your brother money for his car. That would have been quite the contest to win with that new Mustang! I would drive that everywhere too. Thank you for watching and sharing some of your memories.
@@RhettyforHistory I forgot. My Mom drove a blue station wagon. We pretty much had everything but an El Camino! lol
Blame it on modernity and conformity that's been drilled into our brains :) happy life
My dad had a 1963 Galaxy 500 till it was stolen in the 70s. Two men showed up at our house and told my mom that dad had sold them the car, which didn't even run at the time . She tried to get them to wait till dad got home from work, but they said they had already spoken with him. They gave my mom a reasonable amount of cash for the car, and towed it away. My dad knew nothing of this, but the money they provided made for a down payment on a Ford LTD. Life is weird. 🤣
That is a strange story. I never would have thought about someone doing that back then. I wonder what they did with it? Racing? Or is it one we could see fixed up today? Those LTD's were good cars too so I'm glad you all were at least able to get something out of that strange happening. Thank you for watching and sharing your memories.
Today, they would have just stolen the car. Glad they at least paid for it then.
@@barb-jm7990 - I guess we had 'honest thieves' back then. Lol.
YEAH I'M JUST AS BAFFLED 😳. WHOLE DIFFERENT WORLD BACK THEN. GLAD ALL WORKED ITSELF OUT 👍.
They were good criminals like Robin Hood 🙂
My favorite car in the 60s was my 61 Corvette.
Those were really nice corvettes. Thank you for watching!
Mine too.
I bought my 1962 Corvette in 1980 and still have it.
@@ltdan5922 I wish i still had mine
The 1960s was mostly family years so we went from a 1957 Ford to a 1967 Buick Sport Wagon later on! My dad boasted that he put over 200,000 miles on the latter and it wasn't until 1989 that my parents finally got a Buick sedan!
That was a lot of miles on thqt 67. Not too many people did that. Thank you for watching and sharing your family memories.
We had lots of Buicks as kids, myself as an adult, but not anymore. They are all the same Jelly bean look a like.
Awesome.... Olds Toronado in the background at 1:17! My mother had a 1962 Corvair station wagon (red)! Our neighbor had a 1963 Ford Falcon wagon, also in red. My grandma had a massive 1965 Pontiac Bonneville. Before that she had a black 1953 Caddy. Wow. My aunts had a 1950s DeSoto two-tone in light blue/sky blue. Mustangs everywhere... Rode cross-country in my friend's 1963 VW bus (broke down three times). Our neighbor had a 1959 Ford Galaxie with a hard-top that folded hydraulically into the TRUNK to make a convertible! My father had a 1968 Olds Vista Cruiser station wagon. A wealthy friend of our family had a 1957 Thunderbird. Those were the days.
Really enjoyed this video. It brought memories back of our green Rambler station wagon. We took yearly vacations with it. Also, I had a '66 Corvair in the 70s as a teen. Thank you!
Thank you for watching and sharing some of your memories with a Rambler and Corvair. I'm happy to hear you enjoyed the video.
👍👍
I had a 66 Corvair in 2000. I drove it from Minnesota to L.A. California.
@@dst1311 I loved mine! I could zip around and have fun driving. Wish I could have it back...good times!😎
Loved this - the music and pictures! I didn't get my license until 1970 at 16 yrs old. So no cars for me in the 60's! ☹️
Thank you for watching Janet! The 70s has some great cars too.
@@RhettyforHistory This should break some hearts: in 1972, at age 18, I purchased my first car. It was a brand new Toyota Corolla SR-5 (5 speed manual transmission) for about $3000.00. I put down $1200.00 as a down payment and the rest was a three year loan through a credit union. My monthly payments were $27.00 a month! Isn't that a hoot! Oh, the good old days!
Absolutely love this! As a major classic and muscle car enthusiast, this amazing video is right up my alley...no pun intended 😂 Seeing the pics of people and their cars, in all walks of life is just too cool! As a car enthusiasts, I've owned some sweet rides including: 65 Chevy Impala SS, 70 Chevelle SS, 71 Dodge Challenger, 74 Challenger, 79 Chevy Z28, 79 Corvette, 87 IROC Camaro, 87 Corvette Convertible. Deeply regret selling every one of those, some definitely in particular
As a car obsessed 8 year old my father agreed to let me help him choose his new car (ordered of course) I wanted a 2 door Impala...silver with black vinyl roof. What i got was champagne with a painted black roof. I was happy with that. Unfortunately with 4 kids,my grandmother and the family dog, the 2 door wasnt the best idea. He never really complained (to me at least) but that was the last 2 door he ever owned. Helped to order (with limited money for options) 5 cars over the next 10 years. Made my childhood. Lucky,Lucky boy
Fun blast from the past !
Thank you for watching!
I had a 1960 Chevy Impala 4 door hardtop white with red interior loved it ❤
Thank you for watching and sharing what you had Judith!
I received a perfect 1967 Ford Galaxy, 2 door, for my 16th birthday in 1979. I was disappointed until I figured it all out. Then I started collecting 70s muscle car convertibles. I learned to work on them too. A big 350 rocket, anyone can.
I even owned a 70 cutlass convertible with a functional hood scoop in the 80s.
I am a true muscle car enthusiast, forever.
It sounds like you have had some nice ones. I really love the old muscle cars. Nothing has ever been quite the same. Thank you for watching and sharing some of your memories and what you've had.
@@RhettyforHistory Thanks for the memories. ❤️
@@RhettyforHistory I never a GOAT though.
That's the one.
When I was young, we lived in Japan for two years. My dad was in the US Air Force. Anyway, when we returned to the States, my dad surprised us with a new 1966 Buick Wildcat. Silver with a red interior. We headed to SoCal to visit Disneyland for the first time. My parents owned many Buicks after that but that snazzy Wildcat was a favorite.
Many thanks for this one, Rhetty. Great cars, great music, great times👍👍👍
63 Buick Riviera and the 64 T-bird. Just doesn't get any better.
Thank you for watching Randy!
I had a 1967 Ford Galaxie. I traded it for a 1997 Mustang GT. I don't have that Mustang anymore. I drive a Tahoe now.
3 Ford Galaxies in this thread. Wow, that was the 60s model to have. I had a '63 2 door, in 79. LOVED IT!
@@AbleBodied Right on! Mine was a 2 door, too. It was Pearl white. I bought it from my Dad's friend's Mom. It was mint.
You definitely had some good Ford's. That 67 was a nice one to have. Interesting how you're in a Tahoe now. Thank you for watching and sharing a little of what you had.
@@RhettyforHistory Thanks! I mostly had sports cars but ended up in a Tahoe. Weird how things work out.
In 1977 my Dad gave me his 1962 Plymouth Belvedere station wagon with push button transmission. It was black and looked like a hearse, but we can pack a bunch of kids in that wagon....
That would be ideal for hauling a lot of friends. Thank you for watching and sharing what you had.
I came home as an infant in a Robin's egg blue and white 55 Chevy in 1966. In 69 my parents traded it off for a 428 Pontiac Bonneville. It was the first car I ever drove. It was a beast! So much power and very comfortable to drive. It had a trunk that would sleep 6 but wasn't a land yacht like the Catalina. I still have dreams about that car!
Bonneville and Catalina, I believe are on same frame; 428 could have been the 'tri-power' 3x2 carburation.
@@rjl9707 They are both B- bodies, but in 1969 the Bonneville had a 3" longer wheelbase at 125, and length was almost 10" longer than Catalina at 223.5".. (although Steve doesn't specify that the new car *was* a '69 model, just that it was purchased then.. guess I'm jumping to conclusions again! ;)
It was hard to get a hundred thousand miles out of a car back then. I had a Pontiac that was needing a new engine after only seventy thousand miles. Most people would trade in a car or sell it before they had to spend a lot of money on repair bills.
Sorry, even though I wasn't born yet, I still love the photos!!! I was a "70's chick" 😊
Thank you for watching Robin!
1965 Ford Mustang is a true classic. In fact, all these cars are true classics made in the USA. Thank you for these memories of my childhood growing up in the 1960s
Love these photos and memories. In 1967 I bought a 1957 VW Beetle for $100 Cdn. I took my driving test in that car. A learners permit was only for a month, then if you passed your practical test you were a full fledged driver. It was a fantastic car and I could go anywhere, even in the bush, but eventually I wanted something with more power. So in 1975 I built the VW of my dreams with the lengthened '58 body on a shortened convertible '62 Buick Wildcat Invicta frame, using a blown '66 L72 427 Rat motor coupled to a built TH400 and a Ford LS 9". Body was heavily modded to include chopped roof, suicide doors, plus a whole lot more. From that time on I got stopped by the cops about once a week. 99% of them only wanted to look the machine over and talk about cars 😆. The 1% (just one cop) sent me for a safety inspection which it passed with flying colors.
Thank you for watchingnand amazing what you had. Sounds like you got a great deal on a 57 VW. Then you had something really special in 75.
@@RhettyforHistory Thanks. The price of that old '57 Beetle was pretty much par for the course back in the day. Over the years I built up 12 V8 VW Beetles, with engines from a 350 LT1, to a 396, to a Boss 351, to a 427 side oiler, to a 428 SCJ all the way up to a maxed out 460, (556 ci). The one I really wanted to do was a Boss 429, but never got there. I still have a 428 SCJ and a 428 police Interceptor engines looking for a home. One day I'll find the right cars for them. If not, they'll pass on to my sons who will.
I was a little girl in the 60’s and my mom had a 1967 light yellow thunderbird. My dad drove a gold El Camino. My grandparents sold their Oldsmobile in 1967 and bought a white Camaro with red interior. My great grandmother had a 1965 metallic light blue mustang.
Thank you for watching and sharing some of what your family had. They all sound like some great cars!
Grandparents sold the Oldsmobile, for a 2 door Hot Wheels Camaro..., lol
@@rjl9707 I know! I’m a grandmother now, and I go for comfort. Looking back, I have to give my grandparents and my great-grandmother mad respect. I miss them all. Blessings
@@michellejoy6752 I of grandparent age too, but no grandkids. We all had a better quality life compared to the geo-political malfeasance of today. This is why I look at these older commercials, songs and what we once had and took for granted. Plus... I am a car person !
@@rjl9707 by your comment I can tell you aren’t ‘woke’, rather you are awake. Bravo to that! (Same here)
Many thanks for this video! Very concise. The information presented here is absolutely true.
W🥰W, NOW THAT WAS SOMETHING. ENJOYED THE COMPLETE EPISODE 👍. ALSO BROUGHT BACK WONDERFUL MEMORIES AS WELL 🥳. THANKS FOR SHARING ✌️
70's teen but my first car was a 67 Pontiac Firebird 326. My friend a couple houses down had a 69 Chevelle SS. Still my favorite era for cars though. If only I knew then what I know now.
I miss the cars for sure! Such great memories! My favorite was the GTO! Great music! Thanks, Rhetty!
Those GTOs were always really nice cars. Thank you for watching my friend!
I still have my GTO its a 65 convert I was too small back in the 60s I need to pull my head out and get it gong again
The good old days no worries!
Thank you for watching Bill!
Thanks for the great video, and the trip down memory lane. My dad was a house painter, and during my child hood he had a 49, and two 51 chevy sedans, he carried his extension ladders tied to the top, and step ladders in the trunk, until in about 78 or 79, he finally got a 64 chevy truck. I hope to one day own a 51 chevy. My other two favorites are the unibody ford truck, like the one in the video, and a 64 Falcon, all with the inline six.
RETTEY, GREAT CARS AND GREAT VIDEO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! THANKS,..
Thank you for watching Ronald!
My dad bought a brand new 1967 fastback, fire engine red Formula S Barracuda with 383 & 4 speed transmission for $3600. He later gave that to me when I turned 16. I barely missed the 60's. I was born in 71 🤷 The 70's & 80's were a good time to go up too. 👍
These photos are awesome.
Awesome video and visuals Rhett 👍
Speaking of rides, it was great to see the professionals flying past 🚴♀️ , around the corner from my place on the weekend. Wollongong held the UCI Road World Championships.
My home town has now been put on the world map. ❤️Jodie 🇦🇺
Oh wow! Sounds like it could have been noisy if it wad right by your place. Thank you for watching Jodie!
@@RhettyforHistory The men’s race was huge 266.9 kilometres, a part of it was not to far from my place, so we went around to watch. Not close enough to mine to hear it. The finish line In Wollongong is only a 10 minute drive from my place but we didn’t go in there to watch because we knew it would be packed with people, where we were was a great spot. I know a lady how lives up where it started and she said the magpies (nesting season has started ) were chasing them but the cyclist were way to fast, they just gave up come back and went for the next one. They had a absolutely beautiful day for it unfortunately for the women they did not.
Hi Jodie!
Nice roll of pictures. Thank you.
this is a cool video. brings back memories. it was a better time than now (despite the war and unrest) and the cars were so much cooler. also liked the choice of music
I remember as a kid that mustangs were all over place. We had a bronze 1962 ford ranch wagon with the little steer heads on the seats. We used to go for Sunday drives for no reason. Couldn't afford the $ 5 gas today.
There were definitely a lot of Mustangs. Everyone seemed to want one even if they didn't have one. Thank you for watching!
The Ford Mustang was surely the most iconic motor vehicle ever built.
There we're so many beautiful Cars back then that is very difficult to choose a favorite, at least for me...
In the '60s my mom's car was a 68 Plymouth Roadrunner. She's 89 years old now and still a Gearhead! LOL got to love Mom!
my first car was a '68 RoadRunner. bought it in 1970. Had 16,000 miles on it. Set me back $2295, big money back then. Red with red rimmed tired. Your mom sounds cool and knew a cool car when she saw one
That is awesome to hear what she had and that she still loves cars. Thank you for watching and telling us about her.
Sounds like my Mom she bought a Superbird back in the 80s when you could still buy them at a decent deal I went ape shit on that car brought it home cleaned it up spent weeks tuning and cleaning. It had a cheap paint job and there was over spray all over the marker lights in the nose. She sold that in88 for $10.000 the next year they jumped up to $30.000 . Her and I went in a 69 Coronet RT Convertible in 91 together . Went in halves . Its a matching number 440 hp matching number 727 power windows power top factory AC Factory Hemi orange one of 426 made . I lost her in 2017 to dementia after I took care of her for over 8 years with no helpl from my brothers I will never get rid of it
Nicely done. Love the music. What a decade!
Thank you for watching Mike!

Thank you for watching!
Just beautiful!
I'm drooling over all the cars, even the ones in the background and stuff. Woo
Aww the best time to grow up in my opinion. I was born at the end of that era. The only cars I owned in the 1960's were Hot Wheels. But today I own, starting at the bottom, a '33 Dodge Hot Rod, a '57 Imperial, a '61 Catalina, a 68 Charger, a '68 Road Runner, a '69 GTO, a '70 Challenger R/T, a '70 GS 455, a '76 Camaro and a 2 '79 Trans Ams. Give an old car and a long highway any day of the week! Thanks for the pics!

The bronze 1964 Chevy brought back memories for me I had the same color 64 Chevy loved it was my first car,I have a picture somewhere with me standing in front of it as well,I was 17 year’s old if only we could turn back time they were the best of time’s.loved the video
That was very enjoyable to watch, Thank You! I remember years ago talking with a number of Vietnam Vets from time to time & they would mention a muscle car they got after they made it home from the war, or a few others that had bought one only to get drafted and had put the car away until they could get back home. Some of them did return to enjoy the cars they had & unfortunately some did not.....
Love the video. I was born in 1968 and proud of it. This was around the peak of great cars muscle car performance etc. I own a 2door 69Chrysler Newport with 82000.miles on it bought it off the original owner 383v8 love it. Cheers.
We had a 70 Newport 2 door with the 383. It had a 2v carb and 727 Torqueflite transmission. Slow at first but cruises very well at high speeds. 383 was a big block, while the Chevy 400 was built on the small block as the 350.
... i really enjoyed these pics of some fantastic '60s cars. i started to drive in the early '70s and my first car was a '63 Impala followed closely by a '64 Olds Jetstar 88. i am, however, very disappointed that my favorite car, the Corvette, was not featured even once in this viedo. i find that unbelievable and unforgivable.
My first car was a 1964 Bel-Air, we had a Mercury, a 57 DeSoto, 68 Chevy Truck and some other's here and there 😏😉. I really enjoyed my Bel-Air it was fun to drive. It was my graduation present from Mom and Dad 💕 Red with a White Top
You really had some nice cars and what a graduation present!
@@RhettyforHistory it was awesome 😎💕 my dad was a mechanic so anything that needed to be done he did it. He also built Race Cars and raced them 💕😎
love this format
Thank you for watching John
I’m 19 right now and my first car was a 1978 mercury cougar, I was friends with another kid who loved old cars and he bought a 1976 Chrysler Cordoba. It was all we had to do at the time we’d help each other fix the cars then drive them wherever we wanted. However my plan was to fix it a bit and sell it for more money and then buy a car I really liked so at the time I wasn’t too fond of the thing. Later on in the year the transmission went out on me and it sat in my driveway for a few months before my parents told me to get rid of it. If I had a better job at the time there’s no doubt I would’ve held on to it. I learned a lot on that thing and it’s probably gonna be one of the nicest cars I’ve ever had. My friend and I were juniors at the time. Fast forward to senior year I got myself a 1985 chevy caprice and my friend got a 1977 Ford Thunderbird because he loved the cougar so much. Everyday he would pick me up at school during lunch time and we’d go down the street to his house to eat and everyone would always be looking at us and I’m pretty sure everyone recognized us as the kids with old cars. After school I would sit on the hood of it while he did laps around the parking lot. Fun times
Loved my 1969 Plymouth Roadrunner.
IMHO I think the 1967 model year offered some the best styling from all the domestic manufactures to the models that came from Europe as well ! I drove in the 70's used vehicles from the 60's Chevrolet , & Pontiac's , & in the mid 80's I started buy my favorite cars from the 60's & restore them ! & That was the Chevrolet Corvair ! & I still own 3 of them . Thanks for the video
You're welcome and thank you for sharing a little of what you have had. That's great that you still own some Covairs/
As a youngster I rode in my dads 1947 Willys Overland 4 wheel drive. Whe it was my driving time my first car was a 1967 Camaro RS. I kept my later cars purchased.....1966 GTO 389 6 pack 4 gear....1965 Riviera GS 1952 Chevy 3100 with a 409...1966 GTO post 389 6 pack 4 gear .All fun cars.......They where / are enjoyable GM autos.......thanks for your amazing video here...it brought back memorable times...
My opinion 1956 to 1969 was the best era for cars ever. I loved my 1967 Firebird.
This was such a wonderful different time. My parents bought a new PONTIAC BONNEVILLE in 1959. Then, in 1964, a new MERCURY PARKLANE, AND IN 1972, a new PONTIAC LeMANS. In 1968, when I was 23, I purchased my first new car, a new BUICK GS400 CONVERTABLE. There were a lot of great cars and great memories.
Hi Rhett 🙋🏽. Good Evening to you and your family. I love this video 📸👍🏽
Hello Carole! I hope you are doing well. Thank you for watching and commenting!
I'm good ‼️ I've been kinda busy for the last two or three days. But everything is really good.thank you. Enjoy the rest of your night 🙋🏽👍🏽😃❤️💯
I had a 66 Olds Cutlass but as soon as I found a 67 Pontiac GTO the Cutlass was gone. I wrecked the GTO and bought a 68 Pontiac 400 Firebird Convert 4 speed that I still have today. Needless to say, I had lots of girl friends with one of the hottest cars in town. Still miss my 67 GTO.
Love the music 🎶🎶👍💙🏴
Thank you for watching Tammie!
Found a picture of the family car a 1960 blue Buick LeSabre . I was born in 61 don’t remember the car , but i know we were Buick people when I was growing up.
Thank you for watching and sharing what your family had!
Cool video, brings back memories. I can identify at least 90% of the cars. In 1970 at 16 years old my first car was a 1957 Chevy Belair Nomad wagon, with a 65 Corvette drive train, Candy Apple Red.... Newport Beach So California.
This was a bit before my time but in the late 70's my dad had a 1964 VW square back with rusted floor boards and no seat belts. It's what us kids learned to drive on. I kinda miss seeing the road go by under my feet....
I do remember those cars. There wasn't a whole lot of those. Crazy how you could see all the way thru like that. Thank you for watching and sharing your memories.
Since I was born in 48 my dad had 50s cars until 1961. His last American car was a 70 Cougar XR7 with a 351 Cleveland, in the gas crisis he got a Honda.
Your Cougar is now worth a fortune. I had a 70 Cougar with the 351w; traded it for a 73 Olds 88 Conv. Market value was established at 400$ for both units equally, that was in 1989.
My first car was a 62 belair bubble top, I put a 427 425 hp in it with a good four speed. It was black with red interior. That car was bad ass
In the 60s I had a 62 Chevy impala and a 66 mustang gt and a 67 tempest sprint and a 69 Buick wildcat.
Hahahaha my parents had a Ford falcon!!!! This channel just gets better and better!!!! Thank you!
I love those old Ford Falcons. Thank you for watching Dottie!
I just fell in 🥰, thank you
You're welcome and thank you for watching!
Had a 64 and half Mustang. Loved it!
Loved this video and the music. I only regret I have but one like to give!❤❤❤❤❤
Truly a great time to grow up! Dad had a pink/white 1959 Ford Customline 500. I loved driving that but then he got a 1964 Pontiac Laurentian two tone green - man, I loved that car. When I got behind the wheel, I felt like a million bucks and it was a real chick magnet!
My family had a '49 Chevy DeLuxe until 1965. We were a family of 7. 💁🏼♂️
Then a '65 Chevy II wagon.
But ... my dad had "company cars". So every 2 to 3 years we had a new car, starting in 1963.
Anyway I liked seeing the variety of cars going by in the late 50's and 60's.
Thanks
Still HAVE my 1960's car. Parents purchased a new 1960 Edsel in November 1959 so my mother would have a vehicle to drive me in the kindergarten carpool. That Edsel was my family's main car into 1967, when a 67 Dodge Dart was purchased, and it became my father's take it to work beater. In 1970 I turned 16, and the number one thing I wanted for my 16th birthday was that old Edsel. So my father bought a 1970 Nova as the family car, the Dart became his go-to-work car, and the Edsel became my high school ride.
Though it is no longer my daily driver, I still have that Edsel. Runs just fine, and is going on 400,000 miles now.
1966 pontiac parisienne 2 door coupe with 283 c.i. engine in turquoise...lovely car.
Thank you for watching!
In '62, my parents bought a new Chevrolet Bel Air station wagon. In '71, my parents bought a new Chevrolet Kingswood station wagon. For me it was station wagons, while I was growing up. 🙂
Thank you for watching and sharing a little of what your family had.
My dad was afraid of station wagons.
Still love the Sixties Mustang!
My brother has a burgundy one, I forget the year.
I was to young to drive but knew I wanted one.
I grew up fascinated with the 60’s cars and by the time I got old enough to drive it was 1972 and all the muscle cars were gone
