And thus the Chrysler brand legacy of death traps began. I mean this with the utmost absolute respect. From the initial model, to the Hemi Superstocks and Daytonas/Superbirds, to the Viper, and Hellcats/Demons/etc.. you've got to love their commitment to cars trying to kill you, I know I do

[@dylanhale7300]

70 MPH with no seat belts, and wooden wheels. Its basically if the Amish built a go kart today... Jokes aside, just 10 years before, drivers in the Indy 500 where bragging about going 60MPH in purpose built racing cars. About how you could see angels flying beside you, as life flashed before your eyes. 70 miles a hour in the 1920's was booking it.

[@BigWheel.]

70 mph is booking it even now. Yeah there's faster cars but still 70 mph isn't a joke, especially in my tipsy old blazer. It just feels "slow" because we've got quiet comfy cabins, roll down the windows though, stick your arm out, you'll feel every bit of that 70mph.

[@broadstreet21]

Walter Chrysler was the Lee Iacocca of his day.

[@pineytreez6811]

The birth of the "Brotherhood of Muscle" The Chrysler 70...the Hemi will continue it💯

Don't run your mind 👉😉😂👉😉😂

[@idontwannabeanonymous4725]

This gave me goosebumps, and I'm not exaggerating this

[@YourKeysPlease]

Easy to see why this was a revelation at the time. Our 1930 Model-A would only hit a bit over 50, and wasn't happy doing it. To this day... speed still sells!

[@RRaptor86]

Chrysler was a genius when he made the Chrysler 70. I’m sure Ford and DuPoint were probably thinking that the Chrysler 70 wasn’t gonna sell.

[@emmoparnirvna9833]

Chrysler is a grate company

[@doclongmeocon]

Chrysler nowadays still can go at 70

[@BigWheel.]

My Concorde took a dump at 60 sonthing. It would straight up refuse to shift higher.

[@1JamesMayToGoPlease]

My WONDERFUL dad would have enjoyed this, I bet. He was a Mopar man :)

[@user-yc2oz8kc5k]

Just imagine if he had lived to the 1960s to see what his cars looked like and drove like then. Walter Chrysler would've loved them, no doubt.

[@J.deVera]

5:09 just like how advertise cars today, a hundred years ago. Amazing👏

Nice work 🎆✨🎇

Great vid!!!!!!! 👍👍👍

Well brown boy from queens Richmond hill made Chrysler very special car by his driving skills all black Chrysler 300s he made your car special in every eye ❤️❤️❤️💯💯💯🔥🔥🔥

[@modelafun7718]

Great video...But you probably should have had them actually working on a Chrysler rather than a Ford Model A

[@DanielGonzalez-cs8pr]

His brand new engine was... rusted!

[@nickzobel9922]

Same first thing I thought, lol could they not find a mint one lmao

[@pbrandon4129]

Hot rod for the masses. I have a '27 T that will get near 50 on flat ground but it is happiest at 33-35.

Pretty cool did my DNA he’s my 11th gen cousin

Hey at least they could have cleanup up that rusty cylinder head for the documentary!

They should of kept cars simple....but no!! They need to add computers today....

Documentaries about some particular Automobile, *WITHOUT SPECIFICATION ON THE CAR ITSELF!* like machine that it has, suspension, body work, and time of development. Really disappointing...

[@punchmeister]

This documentary is about the Titans that built America

[@rgbigdog]

Look at Chrysler today, oh how the mighty have fallen.

[@Unkown323]

Chrysler doing good rn what you mean dodge is making way more sales than mustang. Mopar or no car. Scatpacks and hellcats being sold left and right

[@broadstreet21]

@@Unkown323 Yeah, but by now their cars are a bit faulty, they were faulty in the 60s sbd 70s, and it was pulling the company down. Only when Chrysler or Iacocca were running the show did they produce good cars with a profit.

[@FecalMattur]

@@broadstreet21 literally every company has their faults. There are even such thing as defective Toyotas. I worked as a tech for a FCA dealer, there were few poor years of late dragging them down where they had a few more issues than others. That aside, they do know how to make a good product and if you ACTUALLY do the routine maintenance and take care of the vehicles as you should, they can be as reliable as most anything else. Have absolutely seen 300k+ mile cars from the brand. I myself have owned 2 Hemi cars (5.7 and now 6.4) and both have been extremely reliable. Do your homework before you buy ANY brand or model, or you have no one but yourself to blame for the issues you deal with 9/10 times. That said, I have seen far more horrendous and consistent issues out of the Ford owners I have known than any other brand aside from maybe VW.

[@antoinestriggles5896]

Is that a flex?

[@jamesslick4790]

Henry Ford was already DEAD when the Chrysler Hemi (Dodge Red Ram, DeSoto Firedome) came out. AND This video had NOTHING to do with the Hemi!

Chrysler is trash now
