Charles, I also noticed that you make the owners of the BEAUTIFUL cars to put the REVERSE LAMPS on..... Just another BIG small DETAIL that you SHOW OFF!!!!! Your the BEST Charles!!!!!!!
Beautiful car! This would be one fun car to drive with the manual transmission on the column. My Dad told me he learned how to drive in Driver's Education in a 62' Plymouth with the same transmission, then a 62' Plymouth with a pushbutton automatic. They had to learn a manual transmission first, then graduate to the automatic.
I purchased a 59 Plymouth Savoy out of a wreaking yard for 50 bucks. Got it running. Detailed the car. Drove it for 10 trouble free years. Best car I ever owned!
A very rare car that must have been special ordered. The 361 Golden Commando with a 3 speed manual in a 4 door sedan. Someone wanted a fast family car, a sleeper. Dual antenna and dual exhaust with a toilet seat trunk. As Charles says, “rare, rare, rare”.
The 361 was a new engine that came out in 1958, replacing the hemi V8 from the early 1950's. Same engine as the 383, the very common particularly in Chryslers and Imperials 413, and the 440. Most V8 Plymouths would have had a 318 in one or the other power level, a version of the V8 from 1955.
*STUNNER* of an automobile.... *ART* on wheels! My dear late Mom would have loveeeed the color...her favorite! Cheers from British Columbia, Canada and stay safe (everyone) : )
My grandparents had a 59 Belvedere. My parents used it as their wedding car in 1960. Our family borrowed it for our first family trip “across the line” to the USA.
My dad had a '59 Belvedere. My all-time favorite car of his. White top, light gray body. Everything about that car was perfect. Even the uniquely patterned vinyl seats. Blew a rod around 60,000 miles. Bye-bye Belvedere.
Beautiful car! I loves the sound effects. They were especially awesome, and humorous in this video. I was laughing out loud when the tail -and head- lights were demonstrated. Great audio and visual. And of course, the Great One himself, an American Treasure....Charles Phoenix!! Yay!! 😄
I LOVE every things life style in USA. This car, those houses (on wheels I think), streets, little downtown classic as movies, the green surroundind, EVERYTHING! I wanna be Gringo more than any thing in my life. Aw yhea! Greetings from SouthAmerica. PD: Mum had a 1967 Dodge Dart 3 speeds manual same as video shows. 😘😘😘😘
Just love your chanel and all the cars that you describe and the way you talk about the cars, I really remember all this cars brand new, best regards from Mexico.
Very pretty car. So outrageous, yet still had a three on the tree so that people who grew up in the Depression could save $25 by not getting an automatic! Very nice lady, too. It's a gamble trying to get a legitimately good car off of eBay (don't ask me how I know) but she succeeded. Love your channel, Charles!
I got a legitimately really GREAT motorcycle off of eBay...I saw it, tried to get my sweetheart to come look at it as the auction time clicked down...but it closed before he had seen it, so I WON it sight unseen! Drove to Florida and he rode it back to Missouri. Perfect condition, a sweet ride, have had it now for 14 years. Lucky us! I LNOW.....
Not getting an automatic saved more than $25.00. The torqueflite automatic transmission on Dad's 1958 Plymouth was $220.05. That was almost 10% of the car's basic price. That being said, the featured car had a strange drivetrain. A 361 V8 was quite a step up from the standard V8 (318). Maybe it was so optioned for towing? Certainly not for speed, considering it was a four door sedan. The four door hardtop was much more sporty. Thanks for the memories.
I like the Plymouth sedan, and the the late 50's to 60's Tutone mobile homes. Me and my friend Ann, live in a 1960 Skyline mobile home, that I have done , a amateur restoration on. We have lived in it since August of 2004 and also landscaped the lot, which it resides on. The older automobiles are made way better, than today's cars and are easier to repair and more cost efficient to maintain, also cheaper insurance cost. Kevin Phoenix
I love how the dash is shaped like the boot. Perfect colour, when I think of a 50s Plymouth I always picture it in this green, Aunt Barbara's favourite colour.
I love your youtube channel, but one teenie weenie little hitch. That boat is the Mayflower. The Pilgrims landed in Plymouth, Massachusettes. Don't be mad... I love you!
Definitely not Emerald Green or Turquoise. I'd call it Peacock Green as opposed to Peacock Blue. Plymouth won two design awards in the 1950's, and 1959 was one of those.
What a beauty! My first car ride was in a '59 Plymouth wagon...sadly I have no memory of it as it was replaced by a 3 y.o., 1962 Country Squire, the dash board of which I used as a teething ring.. the little chomps were still there when Dad sold it to buy our beautiful, brand-new (finally!) '69 Colony Park. Charles, I love and appreciate that you zoom in on the details... a beautiful car really is the sum of its beautiful parts.. for instance, I have never before noticed that the horizontal grille bars are ribbed.. (for pleasure, no doubt!) And speaking of Mopar wagons, Mr. Phoenix, is that your 1958 DeSoto Shopper in the current issue of Collectible Automobile? Cheers, and thank you for the tour! ~John
Oop! Single headlights, indeed!.. I was wrong on both counts.. it's the August issue of CA. When I saw your name credited as owner I rushed to the Joyride home to see if there was a video of it, but I was quite saddened not to find one.. ;(
One year only for those fenders the 58 and 57 were different same goes for much of the 1959 was one year only but it's a awesome car I love the looks they are so cool
The 59-60 Plymouths and Chryco products in general are an example of too much. But an underrated styling cue of the 59 is the "floating look" of the headlights and grille emblem. Pay attention, the black mesh is designed to give the headlights and grille emblem a disconnected, floating look from a distance.
Weirdly, only Plymouth had those old refrigerator style door handles from 1956-59. The center section of the body from 57-59 was shared with Dodge and Chrysler, which had flush handles. This meant the Plymouth needed different door stampings than the other two, just for that. Also weird that the 55-56 body had the same pushbutton handles as a Dodge the first year and then Plymouth (only) changed to these the second year.
I would like to be a married man 30 years old in the US, and to be owner of a light yellow 1958 Ford Thunderboird,, or a 1956 Chrysler 300 light blue. To have a bungallow like those 50s design houses.
Alert! 8/11/2022 driving around Bisbee, AZ in the of town toward Naco, AZ a shop had either 60 or 59, Plymouth Fury, 4 door top, and a station wagon next to it, contact me and I will give you directions.
It’s the only car mentioned in the Bible: “and He drove them out in His Fury.” Btw in an only slightly missed opportunity, in Australia from 1960~1972 the full-size Plymouth was rebadged as.. wait for it.. Dodge PHOENIX !
A vehicle so indescribably beautiful it hurts my eyes.
No one can describe a classic car like Charles can, I knowwwwwww!
My Aunt & Uncle had a '59 Station Wagon, I think it was a Belvedere.
Charles, I also noticed that you make the owners of the BEAUTIFUL cars to put the REVERSE LAMPS on..... Just another BIG small DETAIL that you SHOW OFF!!!!! Your the BEST Charles!!!!!!!
I had a 57 Plymouth many years ago. Looking at the dome light on the ceiling inside the car brought back memories! (Mine was also 3 on a tree.)
Beautiful car! This would be one fun car to drive with the manual transmission on the column. My Dad told me he learned how to drive in Driver's Education in a 62' Plymouth with the same transmission, then a 62' Plymouth with a pushbutton automatic.

"Bathing in torquoise!" Too funny. Thank you Claudia and Charles. The mobile home park was so welcomed. LOVED every minute of this!

What was wrong with it? Probably something dumb like the points.

Love the Fury and loved the clean trailer park with older style trailers.

Charles, I don't know where you find these beautiful cars, but keep on doing it!

Greetings from SouthAmerica.
PD: Mum had a 1967 Dodge Dart 3 speeds manual same as video shows. 😘😘😘😘
Another FABBBBBULOUS Car, Charles!!❤️
Fins really got me too. I had a 61 Cadillac, 59 Lincoln, 57 Chevrolet and a 63 Pontiac. Those are my favorite Era. Late 50s early sixties.
Spectacular
My grandparents had a ‘59 Belvedere in this exact same color.
Love your passion for these gems. And some of the commentary is just hilarious. Just subbed. Uncle Tony sent me.
beautiful car, but kinda digging the period mobile homes too...
Just love your chanel and all the cars that you describe and the way you talk about the cars, I really remember all this cars brand new, best regards from Mexico.
Charles- The ship is the Mayflower 🙂
And I should know that !!! ...

@@danielthoman7324 Agree with you on that one. Dad and almost everyone I knew at that time bought automatics.
So fun! Beautiful.
Beautiful Steering Wheel 😊
I love three on the tree... but then I learnt to drive on a 1966 Ford Zephyr with column change and foot operated dip switch.
Your appreciation, respect and enthusiasm is world class my dear.
Aunt Barbara adores you!
We had a friend who worked at Chrysler in Indy who had one in Red. My mom was obsessed with the "spare tire".
Karen Olsen, from Inglewood Califonia, would love this car.
Charles thanks for posting this non hard top car. Someone has to give them some love and you have,
Awesome car 🚗
So beautiful!
Your vids are quite entertaining, you know. Of course you do!

my dad said he's gonna buy a brand new 59 plymouth fury. I hope he'll drive me to school with it, so my pals they can see me!!
Completely designed by Virgil M. Exner Sr. in 1958. Exner excellence! I prefer the push-button 3-speed Torqueflite transmission.
I love how the dash is shaped like the boot. Perfect colour, when I think of a 50s Plymouth I always picture it in this green, Aunt Barbara's favourite colour.
The "Forward" Symbol in the "F" in Fury.
I love your youtube channel, but one teenie weenie little hitch. That boat is the Mayflower. The Pilgrims landed in Plymouth, Massachusettes. Don't be mad... I love you!
LOL ... u'd think I'd know that !!!
And W.P. Chrysler actually named the Plymouth line after Plymouth Baling Wire because the name was recognisable by every American farmer.
Definitely not Emerald Green or Turquoise. I'd call it Peacock Green as opposed to Peacock Blue. Plymouth won two design awards in the 1950's, and 1959 was one of those.
The color is Emerald Green Poly. DQE-42270-DAL paint code.
My oc for Christine is a 59 plymouth fury 4 door sedan with flame red and white :D

funny bout the padded dash as teething ring ...
I owned a green metallic and white 57 DeS Shopper
Oop! Single headlights, indeed!.. I was wrong on both counts.. it's the August issue of CA. When I saw your name credited as owner I rushed to the Joyride home to see if there was a video of it, but I was quite saddened not to find one.. ;(
I remember my dad bringing that car home wrecked due to many drinks at the vfw.
One year only for those fenders the 58 and 57 were different same goes for much of the 1959 was one year only but it's a awesome car I love the looks they are so cool
They Sure Don't Make Them Like That Anymore ❤ It 😊
Ha! The font of optimism.. funny..
A guy back in the woods has one in his yard!
The Front of optimism, perfect
Unique.
This FAB automobile, like (thankfully!) SO MANY OTHERS like it are the car worlds’ equivalent of LIBERACE and I LUUUUV ‘EM!!!!

Ohh boy, your driving the big brut today

Actually the ship is the Mayflower.

You need to show and tell about the Engines in all the cars Charles Please, "I Know" you know you should.
I would like to be a married man 30 years old in the US, and to be owner of a light yellow 1958 Ford Thunderboird,, or a 1956 Chrysler 300 light blue. To have a bungallow like those 50s design houses.

I know!!
I KNOW !!!
Why rush off in a huff when you can drive home in a Fury?
4:25 She can just leave her keys *in the ignition!* No one still living can steal that car!
I Know.!.......... I Know!
And the best thing about it is it doesn't have those damn LED headlights! 😄
All kidding aside, what a gorgeous machine.
Everyone wanted one. They were everything Americans were back then. Beautiful
If you're ever in NYC... I have a museum quality 59 Fury 361 commando I can show you for your chanel.
It’s the only car mentioned in the Bible:
“and He drove them out in His Fury.”
Btw in an only slightly missed opportunity, in Australia from 1960~1972 the full-size Plymouth was rebadged as.. wait for it.. Dodge PHOENIX !
I had a ‘59 Sport Fury coupe, far better looking than a four door pillar model.
Very much at home in that Manufactured Housing Community...

What's up with that trailer park!?

I like the information but your campy presentation is so stereotypical. Grow up Boomer.
