Great design ! One of my preferate at Desoto's for thois modelyear ! It wasn't yet excessive as it used to become in the later years with V. Exner . The front design is just gorgeous and elegant with its simple shape.

Too bad we didn't lose FORD & keep AMC.😂😂😂

Once you said inline 6, I knew this car was built to last.

HA HA! Buying my FIRST "FORD" tomorrow.... A 2007 TC with 93'000 and I CAN'T SLEEP!!! Had 4 Cutlass Supremes and a Cadillac DTS ... Bullwinkle Da Moose ran into my DTS so now I GOTSA have another BIG USA SEDAN.... I drove that 2007 TC and fell in LOVE!!! BIG BODY USA 4 EVAH!

The 1954 facelift clearly shows Buick influence and the name "Special" comes directly from Buick as well. Edgar Kaiser later said, "Slap a Buick name on it and it would sell like hotcakes."

Bill Sykes from Oliver and Company brought me to this car.

Great review. Enjoy your pro and con take on these vehicles, which i personally find attractive. I also like this style of luxury where the occupants are shielded from outside intrusions.

Brown Eagle wagon was my 2nd favorite car (1st was a brown 70 Rebel SST wagon!) New Subarus could take lesson from AMC.

Bought my first one in 1985 for $12000 ,best truck I had owned to this day...now $120,000 junk you buy now....

Lincoln limos.great

I got a cx30 awd to personally commemorate the eagle and fulfill a long time desire.

Beautiful ❤...sad to see another victim, of the 'Big Three'...😢

no the iron duke is crap junk to the max i tore them down its boring and cheap

I wish you’d keep on making videos. They are great. And youre great a @ hosting them as well. I’ll keep watching for more ✅☑️✔️

De soto САМОЛЕТ!

Don’t remember the exact year, but my dad got tired of the waiting list for a normal car and bought one of these. I was a regular teenage driver at the time and really didn’t like the free-wheeling concept. Once driving down a steep canton road I tried pulling the knob on the dash to change from that and it didn’t work. Luckily it had good brakes and I got it slowed to where the pullout knob now worked. Guess I really hated that car and was thankful for the trade up to a 52 merc. Loved that car.

That's a splendid car. I hope lots are them will be restored in the future.

Ga vin chhee ffs

Complete huckster and scam artist.

So true, to this day I smile when I see a Pacer, really an unusual but very cool car!

It is an absurd car, but boy would I love to drive it.

Seen July 2024. Video. I owned 1969 Imperial LeBaron. And the 1981 the Frank Sinatra edition of The Imperial. It is a proud name. And it was offered by Chrysler Corporation of America.

That Kaiser add looks a lot like the movie Hitari add. Colorful block letters.

You rarely see one today. Would be fun to drive a pristine example. Most people would not know what it was.

Kaiser's original factory, in Willow Run Michigan, had been built to construct B-24 bombers. It was massive - much bigger than they needed. Henry Kaiser entered into a five-year lease in 1947 but didn't renew it. Instead, in 1953 he purchased Willys-Overland in Toledo Ohio, and moved Kaiser production there. Kaiser (and Frazer) used Continental 6-cylinder engines. Continental had built a factory on Jefferson Avenue in Detroit back in 1912. Over the years Continental engines were used by numerous automobile and truck manufacturers, but by the end WWII the plant was partially "mothballed". When Kaiser-Frazer began building cars at the Willow Run plant, engine production at Continental's Jefferson Avenue plant resumed, but since they essentially had only one customer, Continental decided to sell the factory and tooling to Kaiser. When Kaiser shifted automobile production to Toledo, they also moved engine manufacturing there, and the Continental-designed six essentially stayed in production (for Kaiser Jeeps) long after they stopped making automobiles in this country.

My grandparents had this same car. Color , year , etc….. no air conditioning. I can remember my grandmother pulling up to the Woco Pep station and telling the attendant to fill her up with 10 gals and charge it. 10 gals probably carried this car about two days so you get the picture hour often she did this. My grandfather was a dentist so he looked at this car as a doctor car if you couldn’t purchase a Cadillac or Lincoln. It was a high cool car that drove like the big land yacht it was. I would sit on the rear bumper just to feel the torsion bar do its trick. Thanks for the memories.

I hate all cars made after 1986

I hate all cars made after 1986

My Dad had this very car from 75-80, very fond memories

I was a kid when these were new, and I thought they were the coolest thing in the world aside from a Jeep CJ

And no gay-ass screen in the dash👍👍👍👍

Power steering and power brakes were an option. He leaves the viewers with a wrong impression here.

360 did not arrive until 1970 as that was the year all AMC V8's were enlarged. The 290 became the 304 and the 343 became the 360. The 390 stayed until 1970 then in 1971 it became the 401.

Caddilac.and.lincoln.want.to.be.imperial

Nice I just bought a 1951 Kaiser car. Everything's original inside the car so cool

Well produced video.

Whatever happened to this channel?? Was a great channel with lots of info but unfortunately nothing new has been posted here for a long time ⌛️...

79 had the downsized 400 motor. You are wrong. The 460 was the best on the 77-78.

It was the peak of American Luxury except the darn emissions and CAFE by democrats. But the later 60s to about 1981 was a great time for GM, Ford and Chrysler (before bankruptcy)

Iron Duke in the Concord really should've been manual-only.

How is this project coming along?

The Pacer should have went front wheel drive 4 cylinder, me thinks 🤔

You couldn't mention the AMX and barely showed one? And you had to wimp out calling the ad "sexist" because a Woman was getting groceries for her family? C'mon dude,grow a pair.

I had a green Hornet , good car .

AMC just had a weird, clumsy looking line of cars in the 1970's. Even their sports car, the Javelin was strangely bulbous in the rear end. I was a teenager at the time. I remember going down to the AMC lot to dream of getting a car, among others. AMC never really made it into my dreams.

Great video well done

Worked as a security guard while in college. One of our contracts was at the auto train's unloading yard on the west coast. Imagine pulling up to the yard at 2 am and seeing a "sea of Pacers". At 6'4" I immediately recognized them as possibly being easy to get in and out of.

still have my 1984 Eagle wagon, not shift on the fly.

You made one mistake in your video. Fossil fuels are going to be in use well after the lifetimes of every person on earth today.

The auto that bankrolled AMC. I heard of the list endearing nicknames the car was called. The pregnant roller skater being one of them.
