I didn't really appreciate them as a teen. When I got older, I found out more about them. Sad they were not appreciated by many back in the day. Great cars!
Love your channel cars that no longer exist Chevrolet Impala/ Caprice, Ford Crown Victoria LTD, Chrysler New Yorker, Plymouth Gran Fury, Dodge Monaco, Polora
Cars that I have actually owned that no longer exist...I miss most of them. Buick Skyhawk. Buick Electra 225. Hyundai XG 300. Ford Tunderbird. 1990 Cadillac Coupe deVille. Ford Focus...I've had others too, but they still make them so I won't name them here. There are a lot of cars that I didn't own that they no longer make and a lot of them on your this list. This was a fun video. Definitely a Thumbs UP!
I kid you not, I just saw a red convertible LeBaron on a small neighborhood dealership in what looks like immaculate condition!! I freaked out and decided to go back and take a pic and my 15 year old daughter instantly fell in love, 😂!! What a truly nice car!
I’m the proud owner of an almost extinct, 1 year production car. It is a 1988, Chevy spectrum sport, a nicer version of an Isuzu I-Mark. I have 117k on it now. The extinction event is that to change the timing belt, the engine needs to be removed. So at 60k, reasonable. At 120k, maybe. At 160k, no way!!! I squeezed out 80k on the original timing belt, so I’m good to 140k. It is still a long distance driver for me. We’ll see about the next timing belt change.
Very interesting. Dodge Colt I drove 1981's from the dock to the holding yard that was behind my dorm, At Johnson and Wales college. At the time I drove a 1973 Omega. Later I drove Chevettes. For a wile I had a 1984 Ford LTD (Fairmont based) Other cars I had, 1959 Edsel Ranger and Villager, 1965 Galaxie 500, 1966 Ford Country Sedan, 1993 Escort
@@ThisOldCarChannelIn all honesty they were fun little cars. I started with a used 1980 Chevette Scooter 2 door. Scooter was a sub base model. 1.6L 4, 4-speed manual, And the optional rear seat. I had it about a month. Traded it in on a 1984 base 2 door. It too was a 1.6 4-speed Then in 1987 I traded up to a CS 1.6 Automatic and power steering. They were fun to drive. They did have their gurps. The steering wheels were on a slight angle. The 4 speeds were not synchronized between second and third. Hard to shift in cold weather. And the clutches were cable. I remember one winter we had a major snow storm. I was putting along. And I passed several 4X4's off on the side of the road, stuck.
American full size cars, intermediate size cars and American size compact size cars. American two and four door hardtops, convertibles and station wagons. American true luxury cars with size and comfort.
Anything made by Plymouth, Oldsmobile, Pontiac, Packard, Nash, Hudson, Studabaker, Mercury, and Kaiser. These car brands are gone. Soon the Chrysler and Dodge brands are going to join them if they don't turn them around. Toyota discontinued it's Scion brand too. We also have the cars once made by AMC that are all gone too. AMC also had Rambler in the late 1950's and early 1960's. 9:34
A 1977 Ford LTD four-door base model. It's what I have. I can't afford a 1970 mustang Mach 1, but with the LTD I did upgrade the standard AM radio and added an air conditioning to it. It's sad that they don't make nice things anymore be at cars or anything else. I don't understand why, and I don't understand why most people accept it. They have uglified and shitified the world. And yet people keep buying these new modern crap cars. Not me.
I've had PLENTY of GM cars, and since my first, '65 Chevy impala, then after that, a '66, which was a front end NIGHTMARE (ball joint replacement damn near every weekend), I've come to appreciate vehicles with a SOLID front end! The MOST reliable GM's I've ever owned, we're Pontiac, I've owned a Bonneville and a Catalina, both '68, and a Buick La Sabre, '72. These rolling aircraft carriers NEVER gave me ANY problems, took me EVERYWHERE I wanted to go, and the most I did to them was a water pump replacement, routine, and EASY-PEASEY! I've owned 3 Fords, '65 Galaxy XL, 289 CID, C6 trans, '71 LTD Tudor coupe, 400 CID, and a '77 Maverick 302 CID, I LOVED those cars. Imho, full-size Fords had a better ride than GM because they had longer and beefier coil springs! I have a Lexus ES300 now, but I MISS those cars SO MUCH! 😢
A car that has really grown on me in the last few years is the '94-'99 Buick Riviera. Yes i know the 60s rivs are considered the classics but those '94-99s are really very nice, especially the last few years which were supercharged.
GM forced SUV's on us, because they can't design, build, or sell anything else. They claim that sedans don't sell, YEAH tell the Japanese that little lie!!!!
Old car commercials were so much better. I feel absolutely NOTHING for modern commercials, but show me a 80's 90's maybe early 00's commercial and i'll stop and watch it. The way they were shot, presented and made was superior. Nowadays, in the fine tradition of faking everything for TV, some of them aren't even filmed with the actual car anymore. They use a chassis type vehicle, with camera points for a computer program to then superimpose a 3D rendering to make it look "perfect".
A vehicle that you don’t really see all too often anymore is the Ford Ranchero. The Ranchero came before the Durango, if I’m not mistaken. Another vehicle I have in mind is the GMC Sprint. Much like an El Camino, the GMC Sprint is a car/truck hybrid.
The Le Baron and the Dynasty looked practically like the same car to me. Lee Iacocca's boxy look probably stayed around longer than it should have but the cab forward design really wasn't that much better.
I had an Apollo when I was young, broke with wife and kids, like an idiot, I sold it for $$ That car is so freaking rare now......I kick myself every time I see one!!!!~ Good luck finding a Ventura, by the way.
Yes, I think we all have kicked ourselves because we sold a car we should have kept. I sold traded my 78 Trans Am for a 78 Honda Accord back in 1986 AND the used car lot made put up another $600! I couldn't afford the gas. I'll admit, that little car helped my get by. IF I ONLY HAD STUCK IT OUT!
My Dad had a 1979 (or maybe the 1980) Dodge Colt 2-door hatchback. I hated sitting in the claustrophobic back seat while my stepmom smoked up front. It made me car sick but what are you going to do when you are a kid. So I have absolutely no issues with the Colt no longer existing.
hahaha! Thanks for sharing your story. My Uncle purchased two Chevy Vegas in his life. He'd come and visit and take us 3 teens (my brothers) for a cruise. Me and my twin sat in the back. My uncle at times decided to go romping down jacked up streets. I know the feeling! We kept hitting our heads on the ceiling of the car. lol
Only ones I truly miss is a couple that I have owned were my 99 Pontiac Grand Prix GT and my 89 Grand Am GT. But others I miss are the AMC motor lines, the Chevy Caprice 80-2000 year models and the Chevy Beretta and Pontiac Vibe.
I love this channel. You guys are awesome... I wish you would do a show on the Plymouth satellite. My dad had a 69 mod top. I would really appreciate it.. all the best and keep up the awesome work.
I had a 93 LeBaron. It’s the reason I’ve never had interest in any Chrysler since. The only thing the 3.0 Mitsubishi V6 did consistently was burn oil and provide disappointing fuel mileage. I remember one time I had pulled over on the side of the road to add oil. It took my last two quarts. I was frustrated and threw the empty bottles in the truck and slammed the lid down and the taillight house just shattered. 😂😂😂😂 Worst car I have ever owned.
In europe the Dodge Omni / Plymouth Horizon runs as aTalbot Horizon. They had different engine espacially when Peugeot bought Simca/Talbot from Chrysler Europe
I think one of the UA-cam channels junkyard digs has a Ford Durango and I just want to say thank you for being Real I am getting so tired of some of the channels having AI GENERATED Announcer's and everyone like and share the videos also after you subscribe.
Finally! Someone saying we're NOT AI voices. Thank you!! I can't tell you how many comments are on hold due to trolls telling us we're AI generated voices. I'll admit, we're more script readers rather than just adlibbing but we're slowly getting there. Thanks for your support.
Hi everyone! Thanks for watching. Please checkout our eBay poster shop! www.ebay.com/str/paylessposters
You should do a video on American cars that they still do make…. It’ll take about 30 seconds to watch.!!!!
hahaha! YES! Too funny!
AMC in the 70's made some great looking cars, seriously. I wish I would have been in the market for one back then.
I didn't really appreciate them as a teen. When I got older, I found out more about them. Sad they were not appreciated by many back in the day. Great cars!
Yes they did. I totally agree.
Love your channel cars that no longer exist Chevrolet Impala/ Caprice, Ford Crown Victoria LTD, Chrysler New Yorker, Plymouth Gran Fury, Dodge Monaco, Polora
Great stylish cars as compared to the boring cars we have today. Sad
Some more Plymouth cars that aren’t made anymore: the Fury, Fury II, and Fury III

We thank ya madmike!
The Saab, Saturn, Oldsmobile, Pontiac, just to name a few.
Love me the Saab 900s!
I liked the Peugeot 505 when it sold here in the US.
Yes, I saw a Ford Durango at a Ford Show at Beech bend Raceway, in Bowling Green , KY. It was definitely a vehicle drawing attention.
That is awesome!
That Ford Durango would be a hoot with a 5.0!!!! It is a Fox body so it should fit!!!!~
Now that would be awesome!
I had a Dodge Dynasty. It was a great car and road like a dream.
Oldsmobile...gone forever!😢
Sucks. My mom owned a beautiful 1985 Delta 88 Brougham. Great riding cars!! I miss them.
