I found it a little disconcerting that the narrator in the video couldn’t decide how to pronounce “Caribbean.”

Do you know how sick we all are of A.I. robo-voices??? And the car at the 1:08 mark isn't even a Lincoln, let alone and L series from the 20's.!! Far from it! It's a 1933 Chrysler Imperial LeBaron. SAme for the car at the 1:58 mark! Same for the car at the 2:46 mark! Incompetence! You just show the same cars over and over. What are you even doing? And Americans do not use the term "bespoke". We use "Custom" or "Custom made"

Mercedes Benz did have the first PRODUCTION diesel powered passenger, but the first diesel powered passenger car was a Cummins diesel installed in a 1925 Packard limousine (December 1929).

My dad owned a 1958 it had all the options, V8 , hydramatic transmission , power steering, air conditioning, positive traction. It was a fleet side, white with all the chrome. He put glass packs on it and it sounded great. He drove the truck 6 years and when he traded it a mechanic at the Chevrolet dealership bought it. That truck stayed in the Forrest City, Arkansas area for years. When I got old enough to drive I wanted to try to buy it but Daddy said it was too old and would be a maintenance nightmare. He was probably right but I sure liked that truck.

Imagine if they made the 59 in 2025? They would sell millions. Im talking devolved with no modern electronics or sensors. They could punch them out like postcards at 25,000 a pop and have huge profit margins. CEOs are dumb asses. Bring back the 59😢

I'm going to get one for me love this ❤ one

Carros

The TS had 600cc twin cylinder air cooled overhead cam transverse bulletproof engine capable of very high mileage. Very economical on fuel. It had faults like all cars. The starter armature ran in the aluminium gearbox housing instead of in a proper bush. The shocks were poor and resulted in spring breakages. I worked on them (assembled and serviced) in Ireland from 1959 to 1964. Assembled by Merlin Motors, part of P R Reilly, Killester, Dublin. Good value transport.

Beautiful. Mercs are crap now.

Wonderful beautiful car ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ in the past german was better but now them level falls down because of strangers savagery now cars made from blastic and losers feul pump electric losers supposed to be mechanical example lost german edition and it ugly

While the Lloyd Alexander was not a bad car, it suffered from a major drawback - its price! It cost more than the VW bug! It sold well, but was finally no match to the VW.

kind of resemble a ford t model. I wonder how Chevrolet dealership would react if someone came into the shop with this car and said they needed work.

Ooh la-la!

War in den 70er einmal im Schlumpf Museum im Rahmen einer Motorradtour. Ist nicht weit weg für mich, ca 70 km. Ein besonderes Erlebnis! Leider nie mehr Zeit gefunden, noch einmal einen Besuch zu machen....

na klar, damals gab es nicht Grün/rot und wenig Bürokratie !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Type 41 Royale ❤❤❤

Love those Aussie uts. If only we had them in the states.

Mine was a 59 Apache fleetside with every option except V-8 engine. Paid $900.00 in 1962 and drove it to highschool..was 16 years old at the time. Followed it through 3 owners and lost track of it five years ago. She was a beauty!

The fastest car that has ever had an engine.😂

I traded mine in for a 57 Chevy 2dr ht.

For anyone who doesn't know, the Mainline name was applied to the ute/pickup version in Australia and the Customline name to the 4 door sedans. Curiously, the narration totally ignores this, despite the many Australian Mainline photos pulled from the internet.

My first car was a 1967 122S. I lost interest in Volvo with the passing of the 740.

Ford "Fordamatic" A/T came out in 1951.

1954 V8 was 239 CID "Y" block. 272 CID engine didn't come out until 1955.

Why show bullshit it's not available in this country?

Torque: 174 L,B,S 😂

The Mainline name was only used in Australian for the Utility, we did not get the OHV until 1955., Conversion of the Column shift linkage was very poorly executed for RHD vehicles and when it got worn you had great extremes of lever travel, due to the linkage coming under the box with lots of bearing surfaces that wore like crazy,

I have a real fondness for old Volvos. Owned four 240s over the years, the oldest a 1979 and the newest a 1988. My 1981 was my favorite. Unfortunately, after the 240, things went downhill as they tried to be like everyone else. So much for the incredible durability and practicality. They still emphasized safety but everyone else had caught up and their new safety features were gimmicks.

These cars are beautiful compared to the crap they make today.

ugly bunch of junk, weak transmissions oil drinkers, weak front ends, only way to make a ford ok, put a chevy motor in it, the only good thing they did was the 9 inch rear ends , good in race cars, i used them in all my drag race cars

thank you for posting. the 'station wagon' model you mentioned at 2:23 looks like a precursor of ford's ranchero. other photos identify this model as 'utility' or 'ute'. looks very practical for a couple w/o kids. looks like there might have been a bit of storage space behind the seat.

in the USA the Y-block was either a 292 or 312 Cu In displacement. I have no idea if there werer variations for release in other countries.

I had a 1954 Mainline 2 door sedan with a Y block V8 my Senior year. Had a real hard time with leaking rear crankshaft seal. I liked the car but I sold my 38 Ford Standard Coupe to get it, what a mistake. So it goes.

GET THOSE DAMNED FUZZY DICE OFF THE MIRROR, VERY FEW REALLY DID THAT !

Wow

My Father had a 54 Mainline two door sedan that stuck out in my then young mind as a classic POS. He traded a 49 Ford with the flathead V8 for it. The 54 was such a cheapie that it had the standard 6 and three speed and only had one sun visor, a radio (had to have that,) and a cap where the cigarette lighter (remember those?) was supposed to go. At 50 Kmiles, it was time to stick a fork in it. The old 6, which had a primitive upper end lubrication system including rocker arm shaft hold down bolts with fly cut grooves in them as the sole source of lubrication, had sludged up almost immediately causing the engine to chatter like a sewing machine almost from when new. What oil it didn't burn, it leaked. The throwout bearing was shot, making shifting a "grind me a pound" adventure, and the driver's side seat cushion was completely trashed out and down to the springs. ...And I always remembered my Father as a mechanically competent man who took care of his purchases. My aunt had a 54 Customline with the first generation V8, standard transmission, radio, and little more. The engine was a far superior and more durable engine. The interior was far classier (and even had dual sunvisors and a cigarette lighter) and held up much better.

Kudo's I'm 74 yrs old and I never saw a two seater Ford type El Camino vehicle before. Awesome, were these exclusive European releases?

Me likem.

Too bad those Australian Utes weren't available in the US.

What about 1952 - 1953 flathead V8 's?

Those Utes are cool!

If only that Australian Ute, had made it to the States? We would have to wait a few years for the first Ranchero in 1957.

the first car I can remember, dad worked for the Bureau of Indian Affairs, and we drove all over in that car, three of us kids in the back driving through the desert to White River with dad's beer cans on the back of our necks keeping cool, a burlap water bag hung on the hood ordainment, mom called it Robins egg blue (turquoise) w/ brown interior, all metal dash, when I found the meaning of sit down when I was allowed up front great car

You talk about American culture, American TV, American post war prosperity, and then show multiple photos of utes that were not sold in America.

Excellent presentation thankyou

1975 -1980, front engine, rear drive was NOT unconventional. Front wheel drive does not become really common until the early 80's. Wayne's World was the GREMLIN, not the Pacer. I drove a 1977 model for a month in 1980. Once inside the car, I did not notice how ugly it was. It is hard to describe the feel inside the car though. Looking back, I would say it was eerie. You are correct when you say the 258 I6 was tough on gas. Also very sluggish. Thing could not get out of its own way. The handling was atrocious. Kind of like a 70 Chevy C30 stake truck. A real chore to drive. I am really surprised it took AMC five model years to dump it.
