10 Awesome Dodge Cars That History Forgot! (PART 1)

[@jack002tuber]

We had a blue 1960 Dodge Matador wagon when I grew up. It was a neat car. The pushbutton control for the transmission was the best part.

[@opera93]

Yes, thanks!, Interestingly, We had the 1959 DODGE Coronet ! Crean/ over Beige Colors,NINE Passenger/ Rear Face Station/ Push Button V8(?,), for us five Kids, etc . I had to drive for a year or, so until Dad found 1954 FORD v8/2 DR cusomized(1957 289 V8/4 BBL/ Dual Exha,etc)…Admittedly, the ‘59 big, drove Nice…..

How refreshing to hear a real voice with original research. Actually learned something new (that bit about California regulations) and could feel your personality come thru. Congrats and thanks!

[@American.legends]

Great to hear!

[@antera77]

"How refreshing to hear a real voice with original research" This video almost certainly uses AI-generated voice and research. Video is full of sing-songy cliches and errors, and illogical representations: * 9:30 its reasons for the 1960 Matador being one-year-only. It was simply a nameplate. Using that nameplate one-year only had little or nothing to do with the merits of the model * 7:26 photo of a 1959 model when describing the 1957 model * Other comments note errors in the 1931 Dodge and engine descriptions Given all these errors -- typical of AI -- this video has very low credibilty A grab bag of cliches: "Highly prized by collectors... known for its durability and simplicity... 4:00 straightforward yet reliable for its era... reflecting the engineering priorities of the time ... 6:30 ... providing solid perforrmance that complemented its stylish design" If this is a human writer, it's a beginner or well versed in padding with meaningless cliches.

I don't think it's a real voice, who says one thousand & fifteen hundred dollars. Gord

Don't be so sure. The purple rendering at 10:12 is an AI fake. Made up.

[@antera77]

@@0benhaus purple rendering... an AI fake" Exactly. Human video editors / narrators would at least acknowledge the fake, or more likely not include it at all.

Great video, nice car models, thank you for posting.

Glad you enjoyed it

My family drove from SanFrancisco to Mt.Vernon,Oh.in 1958.Great,dependable,with FluidDrive,not 3 speed......

My friend and I went to a Voc/tech high school 2 towns away and we had to provide our own transportation. Our hometown was not going to run a school bus for 2 sometimes 3 students. They gave us $1 per day for gas. Then we had to work part time jobs to keep the cars going. It was a grueling pace. But my friend got a 58 Dodge Coronet, red and white. What a beautiful car. Powerful v-8. Rode like a Cadillac. THe down side was that he could not keep rear main oil seals in it. Unfortunately that car didn't last long. THat oil seal cost a lot to replace and to fix the problem it may have required a new crankshaft or complete engine rebuild. Beautiful car tho (sigh)

10:16 That purple thing has to be an artist's rendition of a non-existent shape because I've never seen it before.

[@drewjansen7825]

Whoever is doing the voice-over is astonishingly good! This is my first time here. I'll be back. (BTW...Dodge pronounced "Polara" with a flat "a" in the middle. poh-LAIR-uh. It SHOULD be pronounced the way it is here, but...) ;-)

[@Greatdome99]

No mention of Hemi V8s. 10:22: That's a 413 "Ramcharger." Note staggered carbs.

[@JTA1961]

Yeah !

[@crissn8828]

Wasn't the Seneca the entry level full-size Dodge in 1960? My brother owned one with the 225 c.i. slant-six and three speed column shifter.

[@antera77]

Yes. "The first Dodge Darts were introduced for the 1960 model year.... the Dart line was offered in three trim levels: the basic Seneca, mid-range Pioneer, and premium Phoenix." en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dodge_Dart#First_generation_(1960-1961)

[@brentfairlie9159]

Austin in Australia also used the Lancer name around this time

The Dodge wayfarer wasn't that Mr miyagi's car

[@timdingleakajacksparrow2748]

I can understand why most of these cars are forgotten,, Fugly as 😂😂

[@JTA1961]

Yup...

[@jerrycallender9352]

Excellent video, however, you'll find the 1949 Dodge was equipped with a Fluid Drive transmission. Only Plymouth had the 3-speed manual.

[@American.legends]

Thanks for the info!

[@jerrycallender9352]

@@American.legends Some times I ramble..Dodge, DeSoto and Chrysler used Fluid Drive since 1941. Powerflite was introduced very late in the 1953 model year and was used thru 1956, other than in Adventurer, Chrysler and Imperial when Torqueflite was introduced mid-1956, and became available thru the line-up in 1957. Interestingly, Powerflite remained available in Plymouth and Dodge thru 1960 as did the flathead 6.

Im a black man from the south and I'm constantly looking for a 60 matador.... I've been challenging Dylan McCool to build one

[@arnesahlen2704]

Revenge spending!?? NOT!! Revenge not much involved, more a celebration of peace and prosperity.

[@tazkrebbeks3391]

That Dodge would run you around 14,000 dollars today. A LOT MONEY back then.

[@jhamonman5047]

1931 Dodge coupe design description is utter bullshit.

[@phillyarchdad]

I don’t know anything about it. What are the salient points that the description misses?

[@guylr7390]

@@phillyarchdadThat it was rustproof steel for one.

[@TommyChardonneret]

The 1960 Dodge segment at minute 9:42 shows that this video is most likely an AI "mistaken" fabrication. That's because my parents had a 1960 Dodge station wagon. It looked like the sedans in this video, but the wagon portrayed was from the much earlier "Forward Look" Chrysler line. Just how much rewritten and falsified "history" has to be inflicted on younger generations, and to what eventual end? Be afraid, be very afraid, if this minutiae of detail is also fabricated!

[@t.grantfreeman6667]

I’ll always prefer Dodge’s oddball 1961 Phoenix convertible over the lower tier Polara. The reverse fins made it a stand out but it was never popular and production only lasted a year.

[@KennKamp-sv2xh]

Dodge had 2 problems. They didn't start well in wet weather and rusted out quickly in winter weather states.

[@johnvail4713]

[@ChillguyTravels]

This Dodge has the Angry Eyes down pat and those lil winglets ain't improving its' mood.

[@joaopedrobaggio4475]

Now i heard that a Chinese corporation had bought Chrysler. Is this truth?

[@cuda426hemi]

Who cares? It hasn't been USA owned for decades. Plus I don't think China would be interested in loser technology as they are committed 100% to EVs and are already waay ahead, killing it in that market.

[@billb945]

None of these cars are "forgotten". The 1960 Matador was the base trim model of the 1960 Polara. Someone really oughta do just a little bit of research before making these videos..

[@PrometeoCecile]

Thank you so much for this amazing video! I need some advice: I have a SafePal wallet with USDT, and I have the seed phrase. (alarm fetch churn bridge exercise tape speak race clerk couch crater letter). How can I transfer them to Binance?
