Stella say's that she has to think a little before getting into something other than a Chrysler Product, lol..... Its a driver though, clean'er up and put'er to work, WOW! Thanks for showing.
My dad used to have one just like that, he bought new in 64 for $3100 I learned to drive in that car, he kept it for 17 years as it was such a good car.
Wish I could find something original like this, I'd have fun with a classic like this. You never find much like this in the states anymore it seems like.
The plethora of six-bangers/manual full size cars has my curiosity as well. Go to any US salvage yard or pasture yet containing the 50s and 60s Detroit offerings and you will find V8/autos in these almost always. I wondered if Canada is like England where they (I seem to remember) tax you on the displacement of the engine. The CWM staff seems to have plenty of time, energy, and money on their hands. I wonder if I could present my qualifications for an executive position. I would, of course, require a five-star relocation package from East Jesus, Kentucky.
If this car with that diminutive six cylinder engine had an automatic transmission on its back end I don't think the car would be capable of any burn outs or even move the vehicle past 60 MPH. Hence the three on the tree. I just cant believe Mercury would put such a small engine in this heavy car. Great find though. It sounds like the accelerator pump on the carburetor didn't want to wake up on the original engine start. Great video! Great humor! Keep 'em coming!
+heffo and juff car manufacturers back then had V8's with 120 hp,a six still can pull this sleigh,not like today,5,400lbs cars with a 4cyl,that is moronic and some are AWD,lol
I've gained a lot of respect for 6 cylinder cars by watching this channel, are they generally more reliable than V8s? they seem to take a beating pretty well.
Hi! I don't think they are any more reliable, but maybe they were just driven more gently by older people? Lots of six-banger cars here on the prairies... Maybe the farmers weren't in a hurry back then? Cheers!
+coldwarmotors today's little four bangers are nothing compared to these inline sixes it is sad that they did away with the Inline six as the Slant Six in my 1976 Dodge Aspen was great.
Well, the big unanswered question is the status of the back window. This body-style was known as the "Breezeway" in the States, and most had a power-operated rear glass that lowered for outstanding ventilation. Especially in a dryer climate like Alberta. It appears, however, that this low-line Meteor eschewed the extra expense of a powered rear window. Still handy, however, with a backwards-slant; to keep Arctic ice and snow from accumulating on it. No wonder that snow-brush was in such good shape!

Amazing, that theirs minimal rust!

Love this older content. Still ready for Saturday's new stuff to. 🤘😎🇺🇸
Man thats really rare. I never knew Meteors in these years had Sixes as standard power!
legal....the sound is beautiful
Good old inline six these inline sixes seem to run forever our family has owned Rambler s all with inline sixes that have had a long life.
I drove a 61 meteor in highschool, great car.
Awesome car...my Dad bought one when I was six. He told me that it was owned by a king (King Mercury per the emblem)...I believed him.

Cool dog
What do you do with all of your cars. I like your 1972 Plymouth Fury. Looking for one.
Pick your favorite Rodent automotive storage area and vote on it folks...
In the states the window in the rear could be electrically manuevered
The old gas is better than the new stuff!
Wicked
Are ALL the cars in Canada 4-doors??
You probably thought we all lived in Igloos too EH?

Check Jim's long hair.
