Back in 1983, with all of their children now grown, my wife's grandparents wanted to sell their 1973 Chrysler, Town & Country Wagon. It was a fully optioned, metallic green with a tan and green interior. They wanted to just give the wagon to us, but, not wanting to take advantage of them we paid $500.00 for the old Chrysler. The ten year old behemoth was equipped with all the 'Bells and Whistles' (The 'Premium Option Package' or whatever it was called at the time) which Chrysler offered in '73 along with a very luxurious interior and even the 'Dual Air Conditioning'! With 230 inches in overall length she had plenty of room for everyone, and I mean EVERYONE! ... seating for 9-plus! He even had the original Monroney sticker of just over Six thousand dollars! This awesome ole Chrysler touted no less than eight rubber "Isolators" which separated the front subframe from the rest of the unit-body chassis as part of the division's 'Torsion Quiet Ride Suspension', which itself made use of an additional ten Isolators in conjunction with control arms, shocks and torsion bars. Similar Isolators were used with the rear leaf-spring suspension.But, most importantly, it was equipped with the awesome and infamous 440-ci with a 4-bbl and the bulletproof and buttery-smooth 'TorqueFlite' auto transmission (auto. 3). The 440-ci even had an early computer to maintain peak efficiency! Leo, (my wife's grandfather) was a top notch machinist and an expert in both Harley Davidson engines as well as Chrysler made automobile engines; as such, even though the Chrysler 440-ci was detuned from its Tire Shredding past at the factory to just 215-hp (SAE net) for fuel economy and was choked with some early emission controls, (known as, "Anti-Smog devices") he was able to get her right back to the vicious, high performance engine that the designers and engineers had originally envisioned. After he re-tuned the 440-ci, along with a few modifications, it obtained 475-hp with a torque rating of approx. 490-500-ft-lbs (@ 3000 rpm). I'm not sure exactly everything that Leo did to that beautiful old Chrysler, I know he changed the rear-end to maximize low-end torque etc., he replaced the Chrysler factory 4-bbl carburetor with a much larger velocity Holly 4-bbl performance carburetor, he even mounted wider steel belted radial tires all around. Other than that, I really don't know all the details. All I know is that she ran like a Raped Ape! My brother had a Ford XL with a 429-ci with 475-hp, the ole Chrysler Wagon kept right up with her until she hit third gear, then the Ford XL just walked her, pretty damned good for a 2.5 ton steel monster! The only things which I needed to do were to give her a good interior detail and a wool pad high-speed buff and, abracadabra!... the ten year old wagon looked and ran like new! (funny how a car seems to run better after it has been freshly detailed 👀 ) With the 440 now running at nearly peak efficiency she would squawk and squeal the posi-traction rear-end in two of the three gears, she just gave a sharp 'CHIRP' when she hit third. Given that she weighed two and a half tons, I think that was damn good! I was only ever able to get about 12 MPG on the highway, I don't even want to know what the city MPG were! I never should have sold that beautiful automobile!

I can almost feel the heat of the sun through the windows, while the hum of the air conditioning tried to keep us all cool. Damn it, I want a stationwagon now, if just to sit in the back again.

@@727100bear Dang that's a lot. So the rear air featured in this commercial was the last year it was offered until the extended length minivans came out in '87 I guess. Hmm.
@727100bear5 жыл бұрын
correct - the 1974 models stepped up the front units to include a 4th fan speed - which of course was a poor substitute for the dual unit. Dodge Sportsman and Plymouth Voyager traditional vans featured a rear system with vents located along the driver side of the rear interior. These vans were the full sized models - like panel trucks - albeit with spruced up interiors to include passenger seats for up to 15 being produced during the late 1970s long before minivans were introduced during the mid 1980s. My mother drove a brand new Plymouth station wagon beginning with the 1966 Belvedere II and then a new Fury Sport Suburban beginning in 1968 and every other year until 1977 (1970, 1972, 1975, 1977). Since Chrysler Corporation stopped building full sized station wagons in 1977 my dad opted to buy a 1979 Dodge Sportsman 8-passenger “wagon” as the dealer referred to it as to appease my mother who did not like the term “van”. It was a nice looking vehicle in a two-tone blue and good amount of stainless steel chrome trim. The dealer even outfitted it with a traditional station wagon roof rack and rear ladder for accessibility. I sure miss the station wagons of the 1960s and 70s. They were stylish, functional, powerful and comfortable. No minivan ever held a candle to them either!

While the '73 was a beautiful luxury car, it was too "soft" in character: in order to dominate San Diego's freeways, she needed the '67's menacing, sinister aura. Folks on the street walked over to peek inside a '73. Those same folks shivered a little and slowly backed away from the '67!

In 73, I worked as a car washer, on a Chrysler/Plymouth car lot, So these cars are very special to me.

I had a 1974 Satellite, a 1975 Imperial, and a 1973 Dodge Adventurer. They were all running well when I had to sell them. Oh, how I loved them! If I had the money, I'd buy them all over again!!!

@Silver N Black Mopar obviously you have no concept of durability vs reliability .todays cars are more reliable but after 6 or 7 years fall apart and cost a fortune to fix ..older cars are easier and cheaper to repair generally

My parents had a fully loaded 1973 New Yorker Brougham sedan. They bought in March 1974. It was the showroom model unsold due to the oil shock. My father got it for 40% sticker.

What part of the country was this? I remember in September of 1973 only a before the Arab Oil embargo started that the CP dealers were loaded with the new 1974's....maybe sales suffered regionally? 1973 was a record breaking year for Chrysler in terms of sales. Sales increased 15% in the 1973 model year over 1972 and a 16% increase in the 1972 model year, after 1969 fuselage look was introduced, Chrysler Sales significantly increased.. 1974, almost cut in half. The Embargo started in October of 1973, the 1974 models were already in production since August of 1973. The left over 73 was probably left over more due to color and option choices.

My dad moved us to a van in '72 out of a station wagon..so the trend to vans was already underway when these were released.

It's funny but actually Chrysler was more advanced than GM and Ford but because they were the smallest of the big 3 they were morphed and punished. I remember my dad buying a 73 and didn't want nothing to do with that "electronic ignition", lol

They weren't that small. In the 1960, GM was 45%, Ford 28% Chrysler 16%, AMC 8% and Studebaker 2%. Then the foreign car company's came along and messed everything up! Chrysler and AMC merged eventuall, so you could combine those numbers sort of making it similar to the size of Ford

I uploaded a few Buick Apollo Commercials, not full lenght stuff but 1 minute or 30 seconds. They were all on a Buick Reel of film on introduction TV commercials. I have a few Dodge Pickup films, have a great one now from 1964 that's being restored currently to upload soon, but other than the Ramcharger films, nope, nothing from 1977

You notice the difference between that car commercial and car commercials today? Car commercials today focus on selling you a cell phone on wheels. Car commercials from back then focused on the actual car.
@OsbornTramain Жыл бұрын
This isn't a commercial, it's a training film or presentation film to a potential customer in the Dealer on a Dealer's special Demo Screen system......Dealers have stuff like this still today.

Around the late 80s, I watched hundreds upon hundreds of these cars get trashed in demolition derbies. They were poorly designed and suffered all kinds of mechanical issues.... and of course, rust. Lots and lots of rust.

My parents bought a brand new '73 Plymouth Satellite 9 passenger wagon in "Sherwood Forest Green" -- wonderful car. They had it until the mid 1980s when they bought something newer. I wish I still had that wagon -- so many memories. We lived in California, so no rust to destroy it.

My favorite part is that this is the official promo video and the Satellite’s front grill trim is about half an inch out of alignment to the headlight trim. Like... did you seriously pick a Friday built car for the promo? lol. I’m a ‘69 B-body owner, btw.
