1963 Plymouth vs Chevrolet and Ford Vehicle Line Up Dealer Promo Film

[@shalee48]

I own a 1963 Plymouth Belverdere that I bought in 1971 when I was 16 and I still have it and I love this car Tim

[@mexicanspec]

I still have my 1963 Fury I bought in 1982 as my first car.

[@alanblanes2876]

I can see why people would really get attached to this year of Plymouth. It is way above average in sheer class. @@mexicanspec

[@mexicanspec]

The quality of the build was pretty good as well, not just with the materials used but the engineering that went into it. The car was made to last. I also have a Mexican Spec 1963 Plymouth but that is a different story. My Fury is a US Spec car.@@alanblanes2876

Great film. Loved the cool early 60s jazz.🎉

[@zephead843]

I'm glad I'm not the only person that noticed that.

[@ggeorge4144]

When I was 21 I went to buy a new 64 Chevy Impala. The salesman would not even talk seriously with me or let me drive the car. I knew the Plymouth dealer, walked in and bought a 64 Spory Fury 318 right on the showroom floor. It was the best car I have ever owned, wish I still had it.

[@CharlesMcChristy-wl1nk]

My dad's first brand new car was a 1963 Plymouth Fury 2 door hard top had the 318 poly 2barrel carb three on the tree and a 3.91 sure grip posi from the factory and it would fly down the road. 😅❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

This video was fun to watch. Unfortunately for Mopar, The 1963 Impala and Galaxie sold well and went onto become icons of the 60's while early 60's Mopars are only remembered for the odd ball styling.

The Torque flight 6 was the best automatic transmission ever ! I've been rebuilding automatic transmissions 44 years

[@8092DJ]

I have one in my 1973 Duster. I’m glad to hear that it’s a good transmission, especially from someone with your experience.

[@Louis-kk3to]

@@8092DJ keep that Duster 👍

[@edwardskoda2409]

I'm a Ford man but I have to admit that Chrysler was always the most technically advanced automaker back in the day. They were the first so many features that we take for granted today like the Alternator and electronic ignition.

[@donkeyboy585]

I didn’t realize how much the front of the Valiant looked like a Rambler

[@tomjefferson2024]

Plymouth Did Make Some Fine Cars!

[@scrambler69-xk3kv]

Solid engineering and in those days, Chrysler had some beautiful dashes.

[@brianmatthews9697]

Well the chrome door lock knobs sell me! Along with the banana skin tight carpet. The trunk comparison was too funny. The "hernia ledge". I hate those!

[@doug-Go]

What really made this for me was that the first guy reminded me of Rodney Dangerfield. I could just hear him saying. "why we Plymouth guys get no respect! No respect at all"!

[@dennisleporte2327]

Apparently everyone forgot about the amazing 63' AMC Rambler 660

[@dicarlo57]

It seems like people didnt buy quality they bought brand names. Poorly built Cadillacs of the 50s outselling superior Lincolns & Imperials. Interesting A.M.C. products equated with Ramblers.

[@MidKid61]

The Studebaker Lark was still around and still competitive.

[@bobk18]

Barreling along at 90 in a windstorm……… how can you not love that.

[@adamtrombino106]

The compacts would be a tough choice, but the Mopar was available with the 3 auto, not just 2, so you had that passing gear that used a lot less throttle. But it's kinda difficult to compare the smaller and lighter Savoy line to the full sized Chevy and Ford. Oddly enough, a 63 Biscayne sedan was my Grandfather's only Chevy. Stripped to the bones, it only had a heater and AM radio. He had it until 1969 when he bought a new Fury III sedan. The biggest issue he had with the Chevy was a phantom water leak in the front that no one could find and after a heavy rain, the footwells would fill up. Consequently, the floors rotted out prompting him to get rid of it.

[@vernonslone8627]

63 Chevy was a nice car but had a bad frame and Plymouth had a lot better Superstock cars...Max Wedge years....

[@Johnny53kgb-nsa]

Chrysler should have had the Ford and Chevy boiling over hot when they all pulled in, but the Chrysler all nice and cool. 😅

[@davidcampbell1899]

I wanted to see those cars doing 90mph! Put those pedals to the floor and don't let em up till then hit 90mph!

[@scrambler69-xk3kv]

I thought they would mention the single leaf rear springs on the Chevy II. Yep, one leaf per side , not multi leaf as most other cars.

[@dicarlo57]

which seemed to work as there were so many Novas running around without rear suspension problems. Im a Ford man but G.M. engineers were never stupid.

Fantastic! Thanks for posting. 👍

[@fairfaxcat1312]

What we have here is the traditional “anything you can do I can do better” dealer information presentation. This is a higher budget presentation because the pictures are moving instead of still (film strip) and the merits of the respective automobilies are conveyed to the dealer by three motor company executives. The automobile the dealer will be selling against the Chevrolet and Ford automobile is the Plymouth automobile. The more Plymouth automobiles the dealer sells the more money he and the motor company will make. Indeed, when the dealer sells the automobile, everyone will make more money, from the salesman himself to the sales manager, the dealership owner, the banker who loans the dealer and customer money, the assembly line worker, the third party parts supplier, the excutives in Detroit, the investors in New York, right down to the janitor who cleans the stinking toilets back where the mechanics service the car. By the way, the mechanics make more money too when the dealer sells these Plymouth automobiles. Yes, this dealer information presentation helps the dealer sell the Plymouth automobile and helps prevent him from getting chewed out in the backroom or fired for missing quota.

Dig the groovy jazz. My mom drove a 1963 Chevy Impala when i was a kid. It was a white four door with a black interior. It was my parents first car with air-conditioning. On looks alone, i would have bought the '63 Ford Galaxy...a very handsome car.

[@scottschlossberg3137]

No comparison to the Chevrolet trunk… I wonder why…

[@Greatdome99]

The ugly '62 Plymouth nearly killed the brand, though the '63s were a vast improvement--too little too late? They were very light, had a three speed Torqueflyte tranny (Chevy still had a 2-speed Powerglide), and the best handling of the three.

[@MrSloika]

Falcon was also a two speed auto trans, at least with the six.

[@kipbrown1549]

My dad had a 62 Plymouth when i was a kid. I happen to like the 62's . The Furys were good looking cars.

I love that era of Plymouth body style, but to me the fronts were pretty ugly until the '64 model (same for Dodge) ,and Iv'e always thought the '63 Galaxie is a real beauty, the winner in the looks department out of these three. In New Zealand our early Valiants came with 14 inch wheels as standard ,13's would have seriously limited aftermarket wheel upgrades.

[@mexicanspec]

I resemble that remark. My 2 1963 Plymouth's I think are lovely. It got boring in 1964 when the moved the turn signals to the bumper like all the pedestrian cars.

[@barrycuda3769]

@@mexicanspec No offense intended, I thought later on that I could have left that out because everyone has their own preferences, and that's just my opinion, I like everything about the '63 except the front isn't a hundred percent pleasing to my eye ,but I'd still have one and be proud of it ,even the '64 model I'm a bit iffy about, my favorite is the 1965 model , and with Dodge, it's the '64.🙂

[@scrambler69-xk3kv]

I don't know, I really liked the 1962 Dodge full size believe it or not.

[@barrycuda3769]

@@scrambler69-xk3kv A daring design to be sure.

[@dicarlo57]

They tried to make the '64 Plymouths look like Chevys which was the direction to go in terms of styling. It seems to have worked along with interesting engines such as the 426 wedge head.

[@gcfifthgear]

So why did the 1963 Plymouth not have an oil-pressure gauge? Plymouth razzed Ford and Chevy for having idiot lights for battery and oil gauges (much less a temperature gauge on Chevy)

[@tobycleo]

Great cars! but Americans during this time were only looking for style.. especially in late sixties

The Fords look the best.

[@beenbeatenbybishops5845]

Plymouth for 63. Mopar Junk. Cars only a Chrysler Corp salesman could love. Not that even a Mopar salesman is stupid enough to own.

[@scrambler69-xk3kv]

Look at what 1962 Dodge and Plymouths sell for today. Some sell at 200,000 dollars. And in those days their slogan was extra care in engineering. And they truly were well engineered cars Just bulletproof drivetrains. They ran away from Chevy and Ford at the dragstrips.

[@scrambler69-xk3kv]

Our neighbor had a 1962 Impala. Body mounts rusted away so every time you went over a bump you heard another bump. It was the body bouncing up off of the frame. He also lost the rear bumper onto the street because the brackets rusted away.

[@kipbrown1549]

Then why did you watch the video Mr been beaten up by girls ?

[@dicarlo57]

So, lets see. "They" sold 2 million 63 Chevys and nearly as many Fords. Plymouths were improvements over the ugly '62s. Tell your prospects (prostitutes) . Notice how the ugly mopar rides like a buck-board.

[@scrambler69-xk3kv]

Did you ever even ride in a Mopar with Torsion bar front suspension? They were great, and they handled well. we had several as I grew up in the 1960's. Born in 1953 so I remember ours well.

[@dicarlo57]

@@scrambler69-xk3kv I had a '66 Chrysler Newport with a 383 and later a late '76 Cordoba with a 400 lean-burn. Im well aware of old Chrysler handling characteristics. I didnt mind the hard ride as I favored the excellent handling. Everyone else seemed to favor the soft ride of the garden variety G.M. sedans. The Chryslers all around performance was matched by Ford products which were easier to work on as well as to look at.
