My dad bought a new 59 Plymouth wagon which carried a canoe, towed rock and gravel, and made many deer hunting trips. He later traded it in on a new 1964 Chrysler 300 convertible when we had no more cement to pour. Nice video.

As a 29 year old who was born into the 'instant oatmeal microwavable society' that we all live in currently..... Cars from the 50's are such a trip! Wicked cool and just oozes passion!! Nice find!!

[@theodorgiosan2570]

I'm 24, and I've been into old cars (pre-1990s) since I was a kid. Currently I drive a 79 Subaru DL Wagon. The newest car I owned was an 89 Mercedes 190D. I have friends who are the same way. My best friend drives an 82 Oldsmobile Toronado diesel and also has a 74 Triumph Spitfire and a 63 Rambler Ambassador. I love how easy the old cars are to work on and how nice they are to drive compared to the modern stuff. And no electronics. You can actually see and hear what's going on, both when working on them and driving them. And it's so easy to modify them, and the smallest modification can make a huge difference.

[@realmaindrianpace]

@@theodorgiosan2570 I'm 57, and hearing the younger generation being passionate about the cars I grew up with and liked is very encouraging.

I hate that the entire time he was driving it across the country, all I could think was fuck, that car is dangerous as hell to drive on the highway today. You would be ripped to shreds. No headrest made me wince. Fuck, I love those cars from that era, but damn, any kind of driving in anything pre 90s is really taking a gamble potentially.

[@joe6096]

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.

[@Engineering_Improvisation]

All true. Grew up when a/c was still an option in most cars. My chevelle has working factory a/c but can roll the windows down on a hot day and be ok. My 2013 truck, not so much.

[@bcubed72]

Plus, EVERYBODY smoked back then, so you needed to circulate air, lest you smoke yourselves out!

[@joe6096]

@@Engineering_Improvisation Yep. Old cars had extra vent levers to bring air in from the wheel wells, the cowl below the windshield, and extra vents out the back to help air flow through the car. Today you basically have the 4 vents on the dash, two in the floor, and the defog - all of which are really just split air from the cowl.

[@whatsup7253]

Yes we were tougher.

[@whatareyoudoingyouidiot342]

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.

[@chuckcts-v3460]

Press the gas pedal to the floor slowly twice to set the automatic choke. Then, just turn the key and the car should start and come to a fast idle, do not push the gas pedal. After the engine warms up, tap the gas pedal to get the choke to release and it should come to a normal idle speed. All this "if" the carburetor is working as it should.

[@2W3X4YZ5]

That’s a 59. My 57 looked a lot more like Christine, but with a higher roof line. I remember not liking the way they did the roof on the 59. Steven King could not tell the difference between a 57 and a 58. He used a picture of a 57 on the back cover leaf of the hard back. Ask the Wizard about driving it with one of the front wheels off the car. I could do it in my 57, because of the suspension design.
