The car you said was an import in a 1934 Chrysler Airflow, very rare! Like your video's!
@billdavis1730 Жыл бұрын
Another great walk-around Ryan! The "foreign looking" car in the Mopar section at the 16:00 mark is a 1934 Desoto Airflow! Very controversial advanced design for Chrysler and Desoto that sold poorly but had many engineering innovations. The AMC Gremlin around the 42:00-ish minute mark had the "X" package option. AMC offered several trim package options such as the "X" and a "Levi's" edition. The X was a sporty package with bodyside stripes, slotted wheel, badging, sports steering wheel, and upgraded bucket seats, plus a few more niceties. The 304ci V-8 was an option for all Gremlins, even the sporty X which came standard with the 232 ci 6. If that one had a V8, it was rare!

Here in my state of Massachusetts, people would pay decent money for cars that are fairly solid even 4drs and would even pay to have them em shipped here. I know a guy who did just that when he bought a car online in Montana and had it shipped to his shop in Southern New Hampshire. It was an early full size 60s Oldsmobile 4dr. He was happy that it was it in good shape with minimum rust.

One of the coolest salvage yards ever presented on KZbin! Quite expansive with a fair representation of Ford's, GM's, Chrysler's, & a variety of miscellaneous makes & models. Immensely enjoyed the tour of the yard & thank you! Find your passion for 1959 & 1960 full size GM cars (-Pontiac) to be fascinating. My two years of passion for full size GM's are 1967 & 1968. A point aside, my Dad had a 59' Pontiac he used to drag race many decades ago. Thought it was a decent looking car, of course, IMHO. Guess Pontiac is not for everybody.

The 1959 Buick looks interesting as well, that car should have been Christine in the movie, they look so angry. The car just after the 16- minute mark is an Air Flow Chrysler or DeSoto dare I say, I am kinda sure. A real Art Deco style vehicle that was way ahead in design for its time. The public was not ready for them yet unfortunately. Time to keep watching! take care

The 57 chevy 2 dr wagon @ 6:10 might be a glass sedan delivery for government use. Tom on Barn Find Hunter had one on one of his episodes. The thing that caught my eye was the tailgate.

I absolutely love late 50’s GM. That 60 Buick wagon looks like a good car. I think the 59 Buicks are a far better body style than the 60 but oddly enough I like the dash on a 60 that’s my opinion. I’m surprised to hear you say that the 59 Pontiacs don’t do anything for you. I love them. I hope to see a video of you loading some of them cars up. Thanks for all the great old car content. I think the T-37 was the bottom of the barrel. Roadkill got one running in a older episode. The Medalist is a Canadian model I think which is a lower or higher model than the Monarch.

The Cadillac is a 1940 Fleetwood. If the 57 and 59 Ford confuses you, just remember that in 1958 just about all full sized cars produced in America had 4 headlights. '57 pretty much was the last year of the 2 sealed beams. So, the Fords in question are 1959. The car you thought was an import is the Chrysler Airflow made from 1934 to 1937. The Pontiac Model J was named for John DeLorean, the man the refined the design of the Grand Prix for '69.
