Good exterior colors. Great that it is four door. -Nothing worse than a wagon with two doors so it is hard to get to the space (unless it is a subcompact or smaller vehicle) which makes no sense but turns on the guys where style always reigns supreme über alles. Functional design is so important & enjoyable if you really live with a vehicle & use it, instead of just want to look at it... Much much better when at original height (or even a little higher like American cars typically were set up when sold in Australia (to deal with the rough road conditions) when they might use larger diameter wheels/tires, somewhat stiffer springs & shocks, etc.). I always thought the tower taillights in the late 50s Desotos were handsome. Neat that you can exchange them for the Plymouth lights. I have appreciated the solidity of vehicles that are not convertibles, and not hardtops, so the glass is held securely even after 100k miles on the odometer, and don't rattle when the door is closed.

What a road trip! Loved it very much and thank you for taking us along.

I have 62 2-door hard in my possession now. Looking to restore. Good video 👍

With a name like Badlands, it’s has to be good.

One of the cleanest gauge clusters in an American car. I’m really liking the transmission for some reason… thanks for the ride.

I wonder why it's necessary to push the clutch to switch gears? If the reason for the clutch is to disengage the engine (power) from the transmission, but there is no physical connection between the transmission and the engine with the fluid coupling, what would the clutch pedal actually be doing?

My father's car in 1967. A pretty blue Fury II. I was 5 years old this year. Great memory!

I used that radiator in my 72 Newport, fit like a glove and works like a champ. I have the Chinese radiator in my 66, though. Yikes. Great video!!

If you were driving a 1976 Aspen two door, you would think you were driving a 1976 Dart two door. Maybe???

im not a 100% original guy myself. I like things that make the car better. Im all for it.

When I was a kid hot rod guy, we called it “Dynaslow”.

I like it straight piped.

That new radiator looks good. I was looking on eBay for the one with the largest core I'm pretty sure that is the same core support as in my 68 300

Love those Chryslers 🇺🇸

that is a cool looking car

Any car is dependable with maintenance.

Try EVANS HIGH-PERFORMANCE COOLANT. It is unique in the world of coolant. It may eliminate problems with aluminum radiators in vehicles that were not originally designed for such.

I have no problem with a Chinese radiator, provided that it is high-quality, which this seems to be. There is pushback about Chinese products for two reasons - sometimes poor quality. Also in Chinese culture, there are no intellectual property laws. Instead, they have a point of pride of making perfect copies. This has been in their DNA for thousands of years. Some Chinese products that I need to use in my work are very high-quality, and some are obviously pretty crappy. If this product was available for one of my old cars, I would never spend $800 to $2000 on a different brand.

New subscriber here. Your radiator should fit 1965-68 C-body Chrysler, Plymouth and Dodge big block. Might be more years but I don't know for certain. I would love to find a small block version of your radiator for my 318 small block '68 Plymouth Fury VIP. I looked up the people who made your radiator and they don't have a small block rad. (The original rad is a 22). At the time I had to get a replacement for the original, all I could find out there is that same CU332 rad you had fail on you and like yours, it failed on me around the top of the tank. Had to do some creative work with the upper rad hose as it was in the wrong place for my 318. All of the part store computers said it was a direct fit. It wasn't. There is an eBay aluminum rad in the car now that's a 22 that was supposed to be a direct fit. Maybe for a Dart but not a Fury. Had to drill extra holes in the bracket. It would not accept my original 22 in fan shroud and the auto transmission connection were weak so one of them is on a hose. There has to be something better even for us on a budget.

Good solution! Best part is that it works and fits as good as the OEM part and costs way less than other available non-fitting replacements. Kudos!

I love the old cars, I daily drive them ,if you keep up on the maintenance they are very dependable, and ride way better than new cars. Keep up the great work on the cars and videos. Thanks man

Really like that wagon . Hopefully that radiator last a little longer ✌️

I think you did right thing, reasonable thing buying this aluminum radiator instead of a super expensive brass one. If it lasts just 5 years it was worth it. Just need to keep an eye on other parts of cooling system, mostly just the water pump, as I'm sure you do 👍

Love your videos, thanks

Oh wow Austin, this is a heartbreaking ending to an otherwise great trip. At least it happened close to home and not far away. Those Chryslers like testing your resolve.

I love your vlogs! When my father-in-law died in 1989, he still had his work car, a 1966 Chrysler Newport 383 2 bbl. I was giving the car, because I was able to store it. ×hen I got bored I would drive it around, even though it had 89 Michigan plates. It only had 47 K miles on it. It ran great, he only ever drove it to work. I fixed a few things added new air conditioning and polished it up. I kept it till 2007 and put it up for sale. A guy in finnland. Bought it and he had it shipped to over to him, I kept in touch with him for a few years. He had repainted the car and added fancy wheels. Then he just drove it around. I'm glad a person bought it who loved it. It was a huge car as you know. Anyway that's my story!

That’s a beautiful wagon Austin and well worth it. Now you just need to rebuild the 440 to deal with the oil consumption and that wagon will be perfect.

Austin, this is one of my favorite cars in your fleet. I'm a real Mopar nut. Also, what is that thing in the top rad hose?

And this is the 1966 Scenicruiser Tour Bus to see all of New England in. That car probably handles like a Greyhound Bus!

What's New England without lobster rolls? You won't leave there and not try ONE?

This is as close to Maine as i've EVER been. Very Montauk Point like, and you expect it.

OMG I haven't seen one of those in years lol my aunt & uncle had one when I was a kid it was gold lol

I have a radiator I found at a junkyard (Machias, WA) in my '76 Valiant. The donor was a Dart originally from AZ with a V8, AC, trailer-tow package. I grabbed the shroud, clutch set up and walked out the gate about $25 lighter in the wallet. Had Stan's Radiator right up highway 9 boil it out, pressure test and fix a leak between the top tank & core. That was over 5 years ago, still in the car now here in NC. For the BB '69 Dart? Did an aluminum radiator since the factory one was long gone & not about to pay the insane money the re-pop guys want- the car was originally a Swinger 340, but a '68 RR 383 powertrain was cobbled in back in '77-'78. It's a resto mod now & can never easily go back to stock. Can't blame you, Austin

Thanks for the video, checked out GPI after watching this. They don't have any Studebaker radiators, but planning on talking to them about making one.

What a sweet wagon. I got an aluminum radiator for my coronet. I had to weld some tabs so the shroud fit properly, but other than that it's looks and works good

I had one. Exact. It was difficult to find a Daniel Core for it. The original DD/CD tank is indestructible. Thanks for loving these wonderful Mopars.

I never heard the thing about aluminum radiators not fitting or being useful. That sounds like a bunch of crap to me. Just makes sense aluminum cools better

The radiator looks like a perfect fit The only thing I don't understand is why wouldn't you just use a screwdriver instead of a pocket knife for a tool?

I knew of several people that owned New Yorker wagons (1966). The '66s had poor quality control and reliability issues.

Love watching work done on a car like yours. Brings back memories and a sense of satisfaction fixing things. Thanks for a good vid.

Not often you get a result like that maybe you should have bought two of them!

People like to hear themselves type. I got an alum rad but haven't put it in yet, I didn't have any concerns. There's no internal steel to aluminum contact to corrode, just maybe where it meets the core support. Looks fine to me- price, shape, size, what the temp gauge says... its all good.

They say that you should keep an eye on the PH level of your coolant. Some just replace it all periodically because it slowly gets worse and can rot your radiator.

Did you find out what is causing the oil consumption problem?

I had to have the original radiator on my '66 worked on twice. Those cars don't cool well and the radiator is a pain to get in and out. Great cars but I don't miss it. Rad shops usually won't attempt to repair aftermarket units because the material is so thin.

With part’s being global, who really cares of the country of origin. If it works, then bingo. Anybody who watches YOUR video on YOUR car creates revenue for you, but it is hard to filter out the Boomers and Karens. I really like your videos.

Is it for sale?
