Ep. 4: Cross Country in a 1963 Chrysler! Pioneer Auto Show! Car Museum Roadtrip South Dakota

[@arsinoeivlostprincess4228]

I went across the country when I was seven with my family in a 1952 Buick Super. In the office of the motels often was a small device on the desk and if you turned the knob it would show the distanced from where you were. The distances had been worked out on some kind of drum and you would read the distance in a small window. My mom always bought travelers checks which were in a booklet in certain denominations. One would buy them at a bank and sign each one in front of the teller. When you wanted to use them out on the road you would countersign them and the signatures would match. Now we use cards. Anyway your wonderful vids spark off old memories; By the way we crossed the country from New York to San Francisco on the Lincoln Highway. In 1957 we used The NJ Tpke which was still pretty new. The Pennsylvania Turnpike. US 30 at Pittsburgh and US 6 after Chicago. We picked up US 30 again in Wyoming out to Salt Lake and up over the mountains on either US 40 or 50. I remember going over the Donner Pass. I remember crossing the Salt Lake Desert and many cars had large canvas water bags strapped to the hoods of thier cars in retrospect prob blocking the radiator. My parents would get a Trip Tik from AAA which which was a booklet showing the route in great detail. She'd get a Quality Court booklet and we stay at one of them.

Things have changed quite a bit since then! The simplicity of those days is always something to remark on.

Hey Austin, I really enjoy your videos, I like the old Chrysler cars

[@douglasnieblas74]

Awesome vídeo Austin. That Pioneer Auto place was phenomenal. Keep them coming.

Loved the hyperspeed! Thought you had to buy the push button Torqueflight to get that! Great episode - thanks!

71+ year old FUD here. Wow! Another educational and entertaining video. It’s amazing that we have so many common interests in almost all things old. For me it’s cars, trucks, tractors, combines and other farm equipment, cameras, guns, old bridges, trains and just history in general. I’ve got some of all of those things except bridges and trains. Show of hands; how many viewers cross over from just cars to one or more of those other things? You can’t know where your going unless you know where you’ve been. The Pioneer Auto Show seems to have grown a lot since my wife an I last stopped there. OMG! It must have been at least 25-30 years ago. It was just called Pioneer Auto Museum at that time. When you were showing some of the vehicles I saw they had one same as one of mine. I have a 1971 Jeepster Commando 4x4 station wagon with the 225 Buick Dauntless V6. It’s much better looking than the one you showed and runs great. I also noticed you didn’t show the Tucker that we saw there. I researched and found that particular Tucker was not owned by the museum, but leased from the family that owned it. In around 2011 that family decided to take it back to their home in of all places Chamberlain South Dakota. You probably should have tried to buy it while you were in Chamberlain to take back to North Carolina to be the centerpiece of your museum!😂 Actually I haven’t looked to see if it’s ever come up for auction. Happy motoring boys and girls!😊

@@davewinter2688 Generally in my experience those that like old cars generally like about anything old. So a lot of interests cross over! I wish I could own a Tucker. I’d totally drive it across the country.

the Mustang with the Pioneer speakers really going places on the left and the funeral hearse with the been there and gone on the right... fun times!

[@gasser66]

Another great episode. I have never cared much for convertibles but that black Challenger in the museum was 🔥. Odds are I will never get to visit these places so I appreciate the chance to see them this way........

[@ObsoleteAutomotive]

@@gasser66 I try to make these videos so people can see there’s so much to see out there. And if they can’t go themselves then maybe they’ll enjoy seeing them from the comfort of their home!

[@HelpingHand-ic4wt]

the solid thunk the driver's door reminds me how the '63 Chryslers feel a little more beefed up over the earlier unibody. NICE CAR!

[@ObsoleteAutomotive]

@@HelpingHand-ic4wt This car is very well built!

[@daveallen8824]

I've been to this place several times - you could spend days there...

[@ObsoleteAutomotive]

@@daveallen8824 Oh for sure! I didn’t get to spend as much time there as I would have liked!

[@johncornell3665]

Great video Austin. You like the same things that I do! Enjoying this series

[@ObsoleteAutomotive]

@@johncornell3665 If it’s old… I’m probably gonna like it!

[@HelpingHand-ic4wt]

so in one window I had the tail end of MadMadMadMad World, I tuned in just as the 2 detective 1962 Plymouth Savoys and the sergeant's '62 Dodge Dart combine together and pull up to a stop with all 3 front bumper in a perfect line... and I thought, hmm.. what's up with Obsolete today? Then the movie King Creole starts playing afterward and presto, you got Elvis in a box in Murdo. What a treat to see it all, I've never been thru the area.

[@ObsoleteAutomotive]

@@HelpingHand-ic4wt Sounds like good entertainment to me!

[@grego934]

Very cool road trip . Ol’ 63 just cruised along . Thats awesome

[@charlesb7019]

Cold pizza is the true breakfast of champions!!!!

[@ObsoleteAutomotive]

@@charlesb7019 ah yes a man of culture!

[@danielulz1640]

I found the museums to be fascinating. Thanks for the tours.

[@HelpingHand-ic4wt]

and on to Brandon! Lets go!

[@tulku_Onitinke]

35:00 Ooh, a Roosevelt! So many awesome rarities.

[@ObsoleteAutomotive]

@@tulku_Onitinke When’s the last time you’ve seen one of those?

[@tulku_Onitinke]

@@ObsoleteAutomotive I've never seen them in real life. There are not so many american cars in my country in general, let alone Roosevelts. Though, I've seen a good one at Orlando Classic Auction site in pictures.

[@HelpingHand-ic4wt]

the Back Seat Driver reviews with the venetian blind... Home on the road.

[@courtneymoyer1637]

You have a deep southern accent.👍🏾

Yes cold pizza..left overs !❤

Fun fact in regards to American Indians- my dad 's side Is Choctaw & Chickasaw Indian (they are "Brother tribes"). Everybody seems to think the Navajo are the 1st & only tribe to "Code Talk." 100% wrong. Some Choctaw soldiers were reminiscing about a stick ball game when a lieutenant over heard them speaking and it hit him. It was in WWI in France, not WWII. Many different tribal soldiers took part, too and never get credit. As far as St. Joe's is concerned, my father and his brother have donated thousands to the school over the years- another weird fact. Learned in 1997, at my dad's 40th HS reunion (St, Gregory's in Shawnee, OK) that if a tribe had the money, you sent your kids to Catholic boarding schools. Not state "Indian schools." A guy from the Citizen Potawatomi tribe told me that tidbit

[@ObsoleteAutomotive]

@@olikat8 That’s very interesting. Thanks for sharing.
