How prophetic, "Vega's engines are a brand new lightweight aluminum design that may or may not be durable." That Vega aluminum engine was the most unreliable engine in history that lasted till the warranty ended. It doomed the car and damaged the reputation of small USA cars.

In 2000 I met Edward Hermann (Max the Vampire, IYKYK) at Pebble Beach Concours D’Elegance. Tall. Friendly. Collected Packards with that Chrysler spokesman $.

Unbelievable you didn't get adjustment on the passenger seat as standard as well as Vega's sealed air cleaner.

I always liked the sequential turn signal lights on the Mercury Cougar (and the Ford Thunderbird) despite that the nararator is disdainful of them.

My great grand father, my grand dad and my father were all Mopar men so of course I am to. It all started when my great grandfather started a business and only the Dodge dealer in his town would sell him 6 trucks on credit that he could afford. He never forgot Dodge was willing to help him start his business. My family never forgot that Dodge helped us build our business for 60 years. When my dad came home from Vietnam (officer in Marine Corp) the Plymouth dealer (same dealership that sold Dodges) had a Hemi Road Runner waiting for him at dealership cost minus 500 dollars as a thank you for his service. My gran dad drove 300’s exclusively. We own a Cuda, Roadrunner, Demon 340, and two 300’s. Mopar or no car.

I’ve owned a 69 Newport and a 65 Biscayne. And driven a 67 fury. The 2 speed trans on the chev was a huge drawback, and the power steering brakes were inferior to Mopar. Handling was much better on the mopars, although fords and chev did have a softer ride, probably too soft unless you got the heavy duty option.

I believe this was the last year the Continental looked its best. I really dislike the electric shaver look they started using in 65, didn't help they used the same design on the Mercury's, kinda cheapens the image.

If money$ is an issue and they like the Demon. They should go down the Plymouth dealer and look at the Duster. I'm sure the duster is more in price with the maverick. The demon should have been more compared to the Mercury Comet

7:27 - I was a teen when my mom had her new ‘65 Chrysler Windsor hardtop. A great car and IMO a class above the Pontiac. Except perhaps for one minor deficiency, brakes. From 120 mph, which the Chrysler attained with ease, the brakes were good for one stop. After that, 15 minutes were needed for them to cool. But hey, that was just the right amount of time to have a smoke. When you need ALL the specs, have a teen test the car!

Sport Suburban was a beautiful station wagon - my mother drove 4 of them over the years as my grandfather liked trading cars often - we had a 68, 70, 72 and 75 - dual air conditioning was the best option - and it worked well
@jansnider681129 күн бұрын
I was out on my route the other day when I saw a ‘60 Imperial four door sedan in that SeaFoam Green color. It still looks awesome even today. He had to have the air conditioning on , it was 80°+ and was just motoring down the highway. It looked large and in charge! Oh my, the chrome reflected beautifully, and it had wide white sidewall tires, too. Did it look out of place? Sure but in a good way. Obviously it has been garaged for most of its life. A throwback vehicle? Sure it is, when cars made a statement. Now it’s all pickup trucks, SUV’s and CUV’s. Sedans are practically gone. Lincoln looked much better in 1961, Cadillac looked better in 1961 and Imperial looked better than both in 1964. It shows that the times are different, people don’t think of a car as a statement. It’s more of an appliance than a vehicle.

I am a Chevy person,but I would rather have a Duster with a 318,than a 307 Nova any day of the week,better gas mileage, smoother running,and odds are after 50,000 plus miles you wouldn't have a flat cam lobe or a noisy lifter.
