I was crazy about a '58 Plymouth, but I live in Catalonia (Spain) and those were never sold here... So once I got my first job, I started working hard, saving money, and while all my friends were buying new Volkswagens, Bmw's, etc... I bought and shipped from the USA a '58 which had been abbandoned out in a tungstene mine near Bichop CA. since '73 if I remember it right, it was back in 2016, the sun had completely burnt its paint and interiors, engine, transmission, brakes... It was all dead... I fully restored it during 6 tough years, as there are no parts for it here either, and it cost me a fortune once it was finished. Now it is a joy to drive... Happy you've decided to go for one, they're reliable and usable clars, smooth and fast enough to be comfortable on the road, plus if you like its style.

When my classics are being cold started, i slowly depress the gas pedal to set choke, start the car and wait 20-30seconds before I blimp the throttle to turn the choke off.

You'd be surprised at how much attention car engineers paid to interior airflow back then, and even way before. They were coming up with innovative ways to keep the interior airflow fresh and as comfortable as possible going back to the 1930s. They knew it would get hot inside cars on hot days and without air conditioning technology there was a lot of attention and engineering put into getting as much airflow into the cabin as possible. That's why you may hear a lot of old timers tell you "we didn't have A/C in cars back then but we didn't need it"...... they might be trying to sound "tough" but in reality they were no tougher than we are today - it's just that cars today do not have anywhere near the great natural airflow that cars were designed with back then, because they frankly don't need to focus on that anymore with air conditioning.

The flip side to that is that it's now a lot warmer overall than it was back in their day. And no amount of airflow can overcome triple-digit temperatures, which are becoming more and more common as the years go on. AC wasn't strictly necessary back then, but it is NOW.

Can't wait for Wizard's reaction to this one. BTW you must have dual exhaust glass packs to get that proper Christine V-8 rumble.

[@paulie-Gualtieri.]

Yeah it's a great film, have you seen maximum overdrive

[@zakarylakota]

Same here absolutely love that movie and I’ve watched it more times then I can count

[@robc8468]

@@paulie-Gualtieri. Nope but I will check it out. Have you seen Vanishing Point?.... another good MOPAR movie.

[@paulie-Gualtieri.]

@@robc8468 Yes another great film, even the 90s Gone in 60 seconds has grown on me now.

[@AB-80X]

You guys should give the book a try. Very, very different. Very dark by comparison.

[@TIMMEH19991]

That last ever episode of the grand tour...OMG it was epic. I've been watching top gear until the trio left in 2015 and then Grand tour afterwards since it started way back in 1977, very different program back then, and now its all finished for ever.

Man it made me smile seeing a hoovie update! I usually watch each one when they drop but I just got outta hospital ( I got hit by a drunk driver on my motorcycle ) woke up yesterday and now am watching hoovie’ rock on man

[@DavidSmith-wg6ls]

Hoovie, yours is the beat automotive channel to follow on KZbin for sure! From exotics to classic American steel, love your content! Thank you so much!

[@Aezetyr]

That is an incredible car. Great find, I hope you're able to restore it to perfection; it doesn't look like it needs much. Also can't wait to see what Wizard has to say about it.

[@risinbison1106]

I’ve taken old classics across country, modern gauges are a must. Beautiful car.

[@PaylayWuffs]

Clarkson IS a legend. Broadcast, journalism, comedy for sure. Getting together with friends on a weekly basis to watch Top Gear through high school was a highlight, for sure. I can not imagine what the car scene on KZbin would be like without him.

[@donschlemmer5054]

Thanks for the trip down memory lane. In 1959 my father bought a 4 door Savoy same color combo. Straight 6 and got about the same mileage as you. Always remember the extra cost options. Two tone paint, sun visor on the passenger side and rear arm rests. I learned to drive on it no power steering, what a tank. I'm glad they don't make them like they used to.

[@stevengreco1939]

Hoovie’s Garage and Good Morning KZbin are my favorite KZbin channels!

[@honda_miata]

AWESOME purchase! Love the book and movie iteration.

[@gilbertwashburn7095]

That Interiors right out of the Jetsons it's awesome

[@tedburnard841]

What an immaculate time capsule. Best car I have seen you purchase recently. Great cruiser with the radio blaring out some late 50s music while doing a mainy

[@gregshamieh6339]

I recently attended the funeral for my automotive inspiration - my uncle Dick. In the reel of photos, I saw a 20 year old Dick standing behind his 1957 Fury -- one of the original cream and gold ones. That was a very happy man. One of his buddies told me that while Dick was in the army, any time he went home for the weekend -- from Fort Dix, New Jersey to Brooklyn -- the line formed to the left to get rides home, because Dick and his Fury always got home faster than any other mode of transportation. Thanks for sharing this, and giving me just a little taste of one of his favorite things.

That is a fantastic looking car. Glad to see you getting something from that generation.

Thank you for saying that at the end about Jeremy. Man it's so hard to accept that they are done as that trio is so legendary. As they say, don't be sad that it's over, be happy that it happened.

If it's sucking down oil like that, make sure you're putting a zinc additive in with your oil to keep it healthy. Those old flat tappet V-8s need it.

[@brentboswell1294]

It was a part of most oils already until the 2010's...😢

Always love a Hoovie video where he doesn't buy another exceedingly boring cookie cutter Italian sports car or German sedan. We need more classics!

[@xiukn8]

And I love when he buys european cars

[@tomdressel5713]

Ha, Uniontown is in my neck of the woods. I think the jack handle and the tire iron were one in the same. It was probably one with a pry end and a wrench end. The pry end would be put into the jack to make it a handle. Great looking car, and glad you made it with no major incidents.

[@amytaylor5454]

Hi there 👋how are you doing!

[@kevinfox500]

Tyler. This brings back a Lot of memories for me. Also a Christine fan, book and film. Picked up a 58 Belvedere when I was 14, in NC, and restormodder it for the next 6 years. Daughter, wife, and I did a second refresh on it in 2018, before she and her husband had us drive them to the reception in it. Bounces back and forth between us and them every so often. Doctor she works for us a classic car girl, and her husband's boss is also a fan of the film. We like it because the trunk has room even with my wheelchair in it. A couple summer traffic heat tricks. Switch to a 160 degree thermostat, add a clutch fan, and a shroud to the radiator. Helps keep the engine cooler, and will also make a Classic Air system work more efficiently. Alternate cooling idea, look for the window mount air vent systems for the auto industry Before AC came along. Works like a swamp cooler. Air comes in the front, spins a turbine, cycling a pump, that pushes cold water through a small radiator. Air passes through the rad, and takes a 90 degree turn into a vent, circulating through the car, cooling it down. Would make a conversation starter at shows. Use ours with the 58 and her Bonneville wagon often as both are non AC cars. Not a bad deal, bro. Can't wait to see the Wizard's take on it.

[@Kluneberg]

Now this is the kind of shit I watch your channel for, American stuff I'd never see where I'm from. Awesome purchase.

[@gwilli]

Here's a tip for you: never go through Indianapolis -- it looks shorter, but there's so much traffic and construction going on there so it takes longer. It's always better to detour down I-71 through Cincinnati and Louisville to get to St Louis.

[@ThriftMachine]

I'm glad she isnt perfect, these cars need to be seen and enjoyed

[@sandraponce9895]

My father had this car in a dark green color i always remember the rear view mirror on the dash board. It was a nice car.

[@jasinedward]

Love the car! When I was 16 in 1995 my first car was a 1956 Plymouth. I’ve had a 56, 57, and 58. They are great cars. Those vent windows help a lot without ac. Hope you keep it!

[@cudaman-yq7pq]

What a cool car! Glad it made the trip without any significant problems. Looks like a 318 "polysphere" engine under the hood. I believe that Kanter auto parts still stocks parts for that car if you ever need any.

[@TheMikelleh]

Every car guy wants the car of their dreams when they were a kid. When I was a kid, car shows had 30s and 40s cars. Currently it is the 70 muscle cars.
