Yes definitely long video format and watched in one sitting with a pot of coffee. In regards to the filming, I think simple and raw shows the experience in it's most original sense,high production videos with lots of music and over narrating,I feel keeps the viewer from having a more connected experience.

Well done and most appreciate you sharing the experience, safe travels.
@@user-57Plodge It’s nice that UA-cam will start the video where you left off when you return. I also try to add enough chapters so you can scroll back and forth as you see fit. Thanks for watching and commenting!
Wow. What a trip. Nice that you had your family with you too. It must have been stressful regarding the radiator, especially with your baby. I enjoyed the 1939 Peugeot as I own a 1938 model (on my channel). 👍
One of my earliest childhood memories was a family trip to Mt. Washington. We were in a 1964 Ford Country Squire. It had manual brakes and a 2-speed automatic. I never saw my father so scared as when we were coming down! Had to stop numerous times to let the brakes cool, but we made it!
@@ObsoleteAutomotive Yup. In those days it was made of cardboard and attached by wires, but it stayed on for a long time! The Country Squire lasted until 1976, when it finally rusted away. And one more thing, the road wasn't paved back then, just dirt with boulders along the side to act as guard rails.
Man, that was fantastic!! It took me the weekend to get through all 5+ hours, but I watched it to the end. The anxiety of the cannonball to the parts store with a blown radiator was palpable. I prefer the long videos, it's like an epic - the chapter markers help alot. Looking forward to your next adventure!
Wonderful video. Good having your family with. Heroic repair. I was going to bed at ten but It's almost twelve now. I like you show the restaurants and the motels.
@@arsinoeivlostprincess4228 The radiator situation really had me thinking the trip was over! Luckily I was able to get it fixed! I plan on doing more footage/reviews of restaurants and motels and such in future videos.
I watched the entire video throughout several days. I prefer several videos than one extremely long video. This was exciting. I’m sorry that the crappy radiator gave you trouble. I guess Mt. Washington was too much for it. Keep the videos coming.
I thoroughly enjoyed your video, and yes I like the long format so I can watch it on and off, whenever time allows. I like your road trips because you include the sights and the places where you stay, your opinions, as well as the adventures with the car. You showed a lot of talent under pressure with the radiator issue. I can’t believe how well that car runs while consuming so much oil. I’ve been to Vermont numerous times and enjoyed seeing those sights through Woodstock and Weston. How aggravating it must have been to be close to home and have the traffic come to a halt for hours! I am looking forward to your future road trips!
@@richjones6239 I’m glad you enjoyed the trip. Thanks for commenting! I just completed another long trip. That will be posted as soon as I get the video editing done! So stay tuned!
Love the 66 Chrysler Town and Country. Your vacation video was better than watching a network tv show. You had all the elements of an entertaining series. I live in central Maine and traveled many of the places you did on the trip. Sorry you had the radiator issue but I can relate. Look forward to watching more of your travels. And yes watched the whole 5 1/2 hours in one afternoon. 😊
@@FredC-rq3to thanks for watching and commenting! I need to go back to Maine and explore more. I’m sure there’s tons more for me to see and experience!
That Mt. Washington drive sure is not for the faint of heart. I was nervous just watching you drive up it, especially the last 1/3 of the trip near the top.😮 And that Torqueflite 727 tranny did really well on that mountain getting that beast of a wagon up there. Love that instrument cluster that's reminiscent of the older Astrodome clusters. Stylish, dare I say sexy, old girl with an authoritative front end. It's a keeper for sure.
@@David-og3bf I don’t like heights myself… but bridges or tall buildings don’t bother me oddly enough. I guess cause I know they are firmly affixed to the ground. 😂
Enjoyed the video of your trip. I watched it over a 2-day period. My family had a 1957 Chrysler Saratoga. Later on, we had a 1968 Chrysler Newport 4 door. Keep up the good work. Love your Chrysler wagon.
Excellent video, as always thank you for your efforts. I was starting to wonder if the old faithful swiss army knife would make an appearance and sure enough 3 hours and 45 minutes in there she was helping save the day. Extra points for all the excellent railroad footage. Luckily the rad held tight on the mountain and the traffic jam. I'm happy to see your subs growing🏁🏁🏁🏁.
@@gasser66 The faithful Swiss army knife is one thing that you never leave home without! Thanks for watching and commenting! I’m glad people are enjoying these trips!
Addendum 2: A '66 Chrysler wagon from down south with a burst radiator spewing steam and hot coolant may have been the highlight of the day for some of the locals. Five and a half hours is a visual "meal" best taken in smaller courses.
We had a '66 Chrysler Newport when I was a kid. Dad was a Buick guy until mom wrecked the Le Sabre and he bought the brand new Newport. It was dark green with a bit of a flake and looked almost black until it was in the sun. It was a 4 door, (5 kids), and had a 383 engine that ran so smooth and quiet that my mom would think it had died at stoplights. He kept that car for 20 years and was a dedicated Mopar guy. Sold it to Uncle Joe , (a dyed in the wool Chevy guy), because he always said if you ever sell that Chrysler I want it. Best car my family ever owned. Love the wagon version.
Agree. Chrysler, Plymouth, Dodge and Imperial really hit their high point from '64-'71. Mopar Engines and powertrains were bullet proof and design was excellent. When the oil embargo hit all of the big three maker's quality went downhill.
Back roads are an excellent way to see the countryside but deprive you of the chance to see the sign on I95 that reads, "Watch for moose in roadway"... always good for a chuckle. You really don't need a yellow road sign to notice a moose in your path.
You can add those solder supplies to your on-the-road repair kit. I run a 7lb cap on all my old cars to avoid stressing the radiator. You'll find some egghead claims that it will boil sooner with lower pressure, which is true but I've never had issues.
@@barberjeff67 It was really good. Any other time I had clam strips in the past they were hard and rubbery probably frozen and no where near fresh. These were excellent!
@@ObsoleteAutomotive strips are famous for being rubbery. Lol. I live an hour north of Woodstock/Queeche area. I think I'll head down there today for some clams! I enjoyed the video and hoped you enjoyed your visit to Vermont!
Absolutely enjoying this video! Thank you UA-cam for the algorithm that led me to your channel. Started watching this video last night. I had insomnia and put it on again during the night. And resumed watching it today on Labor Day, perfect way to spend part of this day. I’m a fan and going to be looking back at your other videos as well. Being a mid century modern model myself, I can’t get enough of these classic vehicles. Especially love that you include wrenching on them and explaining what you are doing and your commentary along the way including local restaurants and points of interest. Question… What sunglasses are you wearing? They are awesome.
Awesome trip , thanks for sharing ✌️. Watched the whole video and shared on FB . Hope you replaced that Chinese radiator. Really like the wagon , definitely cool
@@grego934 I’m in process of replacing the radiator. It got me home but the more I drive around town the more it’s leaking. It’s just bad quality. Thanks for watching and sharing! Glad you enjoyed it.
I was born in '60 and I loved the '65 and '66 T&C's even as a kid. Mopars have something undefinable, almost supernatural. You do know that the Fury was God's car. It's in the Bible, God drove Adam and Eve out of the Garden Of Eden in a Fury! Seriously though, I'm diehard Mopar, and all your videos are great to watch.
I’ve noticed how often you drive 81 through Virginia. You need to stop at an old school dinner called southern kitchen in new market, va. Known for the fried chicken.
Nice video of a beautiful part of the country. I hope you can find a decent replacement radiator as the Chinese versions are just crap. Other than the radiator the old car has just run flawlessly.
Nice old wagon. Too bad you had such problems with the rad up in the middle of North Conway. Not much but tourist stuff up that way. There is a radiator shop about an hour and a half south in Rochester, NH but that's back near Portsmouth which is the wrong direction for you. Glad you finally got it sorted out. Did I see that the engine in that car is a 440? Did you ever figure out your miles per gallon? I'd be interested to hear what a car like yours got for gas mileage on a trip. One last question, was your car leaking oil or burning it? I haven't yet watched your video of you bringing it home from CA so some of these questions might have been addressed already. I live about three miles from the Maine border in southern NH so I wanted to see were you went. Good choice of showing only about 10-15 seconds of sitting in traffic to get through Ogunquit. Been there done that many times. Yes I spent most of my Saturday watching the whole video. I did speed it up to 2X for long portions of it and would slow it back down when something interesting happened. I also paused it a few times so I could go do things and came back later.
@@tallboyyyy The car does have a 440 under the hood. I was getting about 10-11mpg. The car is burning oil. Haven’t tore into the engine to figure out what the cause is. It’s in the list of things to do in the future.
@@michaelnewjerseydiecast5535 The benefit is that if you stop watching when you come back the video picks up where you left off. Or you can use the slider at the bottom to go forward or backward to things you want to see more or less of.
Addendum.... Watched part of the video and resumed... 1:58:38 my home town! Went to school with the current owner of Chuck Wagon! Livermore Falls is a dying town. It used to be a very busy mill town with several paper manufacturers along the Androscoggin river (which was horribly polluted as a result) The river has cleaned itself up as a result of the mills closing one by one over the years. It's good that the waters are clearer and the sulfur stench no longer hangs in the air downstream. The Androscoggin can be fished but I wouldn't eat anything caught in it! Sadly it doesn't appear that the leadership (economic or political) did anything to remediate the loss of employment as businesses in general pulled out after the mills closed. There's a bit of agriculture in the area and some businesses open but little to bolster tax revenues or keep younger people who are looking to settle down. Thanks for the inadvertent memories!
@@user-surly Oh cool. Wasn’t expecting someone from there to watch!!I really liked the restaurant and would definitely go back. I didn’t know any backstory to the town but sad to hear it’s been in decline. Hopefully somethings brings it back around.
@@ObsoleteAutomotiveI'm older and moved to Ct in 1986. Lots of paper mill towns in parts of the state where the basis for their growth is gone. Just about every other business would depend on a resident population drawing the paycheck from... International Paper, James River, Otis, etc. for survival. First goes the major employer, then bit by bit the population and the small shops, restaurants, etc. that need people to furnish traffic. Were the State more accessible to a major metro hub and population center, reinventing the economies might be a bit less difficult. There are a few enterprising souls who set up successful operations but for the most part, decay. Maine is rural; much of the older population isn't as welcoming to outsider traffic that a tourist operation might attract. Kicking myself for not tapping the memories of older relatives who have since passed about earlier history. One very interesting (to me) tidbit: My mother's dad grew up locally near the Androscoggin river where a covered bridge spanned. This was shortly after the turn of the century before cars were widely used and one of his winter jobs was to shovel snow ON to the bridge deck so that horse-drawn sleighs wouldn't damage the road. Snow was packed down using heavy rollers and not plowed. Cars were a rich man's toy relegated to a garage once they got snow. The process of figuring out how to handle snow for cars when they became more of a utility and less of a toy is another story.
@@user-surly Very interesting tidbit! Never even thought of something like that. I talked with a guy from Vermont who lived there on the 1960s and they basically didn’t drive cars. Used horse and buggy or sled for the majority of the year and only used the car for trips that were too long for a horse ride.
That's what I want to do is take my 62 Plymouth & vintage camper on a trip like that. My friends say that would cost a lot of money! It's not the miles per gallon, "It's the smiles per gallon. I was thinking of using my 77 Chrysler Town & Country hearse, but that doesn't have that travel and vacation feel to it. Unless your taking that last ride😮!
@@ObsoleteAutomotive That's why I said , smiles per gallon. I would get enjoyment driving my daily driver out west. New cars don't have that style and flare. At the end of this year l am retiring. An that's one thing I am planning on is a trip out west, in the Plymouth. I have four vintage campers, the teardrop will be the one I use for that trip. Thanks for the response and be safe on your journey.
@@ObsoleteAutomotive 1962 Plymouth Savoy, with a 318 Poly, the car is a survivor. The car is equivalent to a five year old vehicle. Bought it when it had 54 thousand miles on it in 1996. Now she has 180 thousand. I also have a 62 Fury station wagon, not as good condition as the 4DSN. Probably going to sell it, I will never get it restored in my life time so it will have to go!
@@Hudson-1947 Not yet. I had this trip planned and left right after getting home from California. It’s on the to do list now that the car is back home for a while!
I live here in maine for the time being. Love the state, hate the politics. But you are doing it the right way. slow and stopping frequently. But its a large state ruled by basically 1 area, Portland, not good for a lot of the people. They have pretty much ran the locals out. Thats why im moving out. They hate conservatives.
Do you ever name your cars ? I named my 1950 Dodge Coronet Ms. Emily . She has the massive😅 230 L head 6 with fluid drive 3 on the tree . She's been contributing to the global climate change for 74 years . Making Greta proud here in the 21 century. She would probably make it but I don't think I'd drive her across the country. I did drive her to the Rod Run one year and to the top of Mt. Mitchell but I wouldn't do it again .
@@andreamills5852 Some of my cars do get named. My very first car (a 1957 Plymouth, that I still own) is named Bonnie for example. Some cars get names that just come naturally and others don’t get named at all.

@@michaelnewjerseydiecast5535 The benefit is that if you stop watching when you come back the video picks up where you left off. Or you can use the slider at the bottom to go forward or backward to things you want to see more or less of.
@@ObsoleteAutomotive okay I appreciate the tips Austin!
Addendum.... Watched part of the video and resumed...
1:58:38 my home town! Went to school with the current owner of Chuck Wagon!
Livermore Falls is a dying town. It used to be a very busy mill town with several paper manufacturers along the Androscoggin river (which was horribly polluted as a result) The river has cleaned itself up as a result of the mills closing one by one over the years. It's good that the waters are clearer and the sulfur stench no longer hangs in the air downstream. The Androscoggin can be fished but I wouldn't eat anything caught in it!
Sadly it doesn't appear that the leadership (economic or political) did anything to remediate the loss of employment as businesses in general pulled out after the mills closed. There's a bit of agriculture in the area and some businesses open but little to bolster tax revenues or keep younger people who are looking to settle down.
Thanks for the inadvertent memories!
@@user-surly Oh cool. Wasn’t expecting someone from there to watch!!I really liked the restaurant and would definitely go back. I didn’t know any backstory to the town but sad to hear it’s been in decline. Hopefully somethings brings it back around.
@@ObsoleteAutomotiveI'm older and moved to Ct in 1986.
Lots of paper mill towns in parts of the state where the basis for their growth is gone. Just about every other business would depend on a resident population drawing the paycheck from... International Paper, James River, Otis, etc. for survival.
First goes the major employer, then bit by bit the population and the small shops, restaurants, etc. that need people to furnish traffic.
Were the State more accessible to a major metro hub and population center, reinventing the economies might be a bit less difficult. There are a few enterprising souls who set up successful operations but for the most part, decay.
Maine is rural; much of the older population isn't as welcoming to outsider traffic that a tourist operation might attract.
Kicking myself for not tapping the memories of older relatives who have since passed about earlier history.
One very interesting (to me) tidbit: My mother's dad grew up locally near the Androscoggin river where a covered bridge spanned. This was shortly after the turn of the century before cars were widely used and one of his winter jobs was to shovel snow ON to the bridge deck so that horse-drawn sleighs wouldn't damage the road.
Snow was packed down using heavy rollers and not plowed. Cars were a rich man's toy relegated to a garage once they got snow. The process of figuring out how to handle snow for cars when they became more of a utility and less of a toy is another story.
@@user-surly Very interesting tidbit! Never even thought of something like that. I talked with a guy from Vermont who lived there on the 1960s and they basically didn’t drive cars. Used horse and buggy or sled for the majority of the year and only used the car for trips that were too long for a horse ride.
great looking wagon Chrysler Town and Country wagons were peak wagon did that woman say $65 to go up Mt Washington? that's crazy
Yes it was steep pricing! (Pun intended)
as many swinging bridges as eastern ky has idk if thats the smallest suspension bridge.
@@jeffreyrigged That’s what the internet claims! 🤷🏻♂️
@@ObsoleteAutomotive I guess they aint official
That's what I want to do is take my 62 Plymouth & vintage camper on a trip like that. My friends say that would cost a lot of money! It's not the miles per gallon, "It's the smiles per gallon. I was thinking of using my 77 Chrysler Town & Country hearse, but that doesn't have that travel and vacation feel to it. Unless your taking that last ride😮!
@@PaulBroxon It’s really not anymore expensive than driving a new car. But the experience is totally different and better in my opinion!
@@ObsoleteAutomotive That's why I said , smiles per gallon. I would get enjoyment driving my daily driver out west. New cars don't have that style and flare. At the end of this year l am retiring. An that's one thing I am planning on is a trip out west, in the Plymouth. I have four vintage campers, the teardrop will be the one I use for that trip. Thanks for the response and be safe on your journey.
@@PaulBroxon What model Plymouth do you have?
@@ObsoleteAutomotive 1962 Plymouth Savoy, with a 318 Poly, the car is a survivor. The car is equivalent to a five year old vehicle. Bought it when it had 54 thousand miles on it in 1996. Now she has 180 thousand. I also have a 62 Fury station wagon, not as good condition as the 4DSN. Probably going to sell it, I will never get it restored in my life time so it will have to go!
@@PaulBroxon I loved my ‘62 Belvedere sedan. The 361 big block and stick shift really scooted! Is your wagon a driver too?
Have you figured out the oil consumption problem yet?
@@Hudson-1947 Not yet. I had this trip planned and left right after getting home from California. It’s on the to do list now that the car is back home for a while!
@@ObsoleteAutomotivepcv valve? Great video!
@@tedcowart3647 I’m thinking it’s either the heads or the piston rings. Didn’t seem to be any issue with the PCV.
I live here in maine for the time being. Love the state, hate the politics. But you are doing it the right way. slow and stopping frequently. But its a large state ruled by basically 1 area, Portland, not good for a lot of the people. They have pretty much ran the locals out. Thats why im moving out. They hate conservatives.
Do you ever name your cars ? I named my 1950 Dodge Coronet Ms. Emily . She has the massive😅 230 L head 6 with fluid drive 3 on the tree . She's been contributing to the global climate change for 74 years . Making Greta proud here in the 21 century. She would probably make it but I don't think I'd drive her across the country. I did drive her to the Rod Run one year and to the top of Mt. Mitchell but I wouldn't do it again .
@@andreamills5852 Some of my cars do get named. My very first car (a 1957 Plymouth, that I still own) is named Bonnie for example. Some cars get names that just come naturally and others don’t get named at all.
like your videos but why don’t you include more of the other people who travel with you sometimes, including the girls?
@@captainmalibu43 Wasn’t too sure about having my kids face shown. Thats my reasoning.
I like your show that's too long and I'm not watching it
@@tonynelson4078 Okay. You know it can be watched in parts right? If you leave it picks up where you left off when you come back…
