My grandmother had this car, and as a kid, I was fascinated by the dashboard and all the automatic push buttons It had so many buttons and gauges and things to look at.
I'm delighted to see my first pro-1961 Plymouth review I can ever remember. It is G R E A T to see someone who appreciates the terrific aesthetic of these cars.
Hello from New Zealand. I remember back in the 1960s my aunts bridal cars were two of these Plymouths in black with a white roof. They were stunning. Im going back 60 years ago now , so its a good memory from a long time ago.
That car is absolutely spectacular! Love the fact that it is all original, and the paint (don't know what color was used on that, but it is beautiful). The interior as impeccably clean. Just amazing that it still looks this fantastic after 63 years! I was 7 when that car rolled off the assembly line. I'm 70 now. Oh, and Ward Cleaver drove a similar Plymouth Fury during season 4 or 5 of Leave it to Beaver!
I always loved that style /year Plymouth. When I was 7 years old my upstairs neighbor bought one brand new. The exterior was like a coffee with cream in it color and the interior was white and red. Sounds like a crazy color combo but it was stunning. I thought it was the most beautiful car I had ever seen.
This car is in amazing condition. It is a work of art on wheels. My parents bought a brand new 1962 Chrysler Newport. I remember my dad replacing the windlace in ours back in 1972. Our car had the famous Astra Dome instrument cluster, and that music to my ears gear reduction starter that is famous in older Chryslers.
@@joycerichardson1810 And give us his colorful weather report for Naples, FL! 😂 Then mention the corona virus whiskey. His latest video is of the red & white Porsche tractor (Yes!).
Charles i have to tell you, when i was in my mid teens i thought this car was hideous. But now in my 60s i absolutely think think is a beautiful piece of machinery. How times have changed. 👍👍👍👍👍🍻
I ALWAYS THOUGHT WHEN THE CAR WAS DESIGNED THEY SAID OH WAIT A MINUTE, WE FORGOT THE TAILIGHTS AND SAID LETS JUST PUT THEM HERE! LOOKS LIKE AN AFTERTHOIUGHT BUT TODAY IT'S COOL!
My late father would love this Plymouth, he had several as I was growing up. I didn’t appreciate them at the time, but certainly do now.. Thanks Charles, you’re an old Soul, I always enjoy your taste in yesteryear. 🌈
If I had the money to buy it, I'd snap it up in a heartbeat (no Chevrolet pun intended!). It's that beautiful. This would make a great weekend cruiser to take yourself and five good friends in. Just remind them "NO FOOD OR DRINK AND NO SMOKING IN THIS CAR!"
The Fury is mechanically the same car. Plymouth never got the longer wheelbase chassis which the Dodge Polara/Matador used in 1960-62. The 1961-62 Dodge and Plymouth cars were what got Virgil Exner fired as their sales dropped drastically compared to their predecessor Forward Look models. Elwood Engel was hired away from Ford to replace him.
It is painful to ponder after viewing the sacred dedicated effort of the designing team to bring every aspect of this automobile's DNA into existence that humans are extinguishing other humans all over the planet instead of sharing this joy of technological high achievement.
Why do gay people have to throw their perverted view on everything? Why does the aunt have to be a pervert lesbian? So no, it's not funny. It's actually boring and typical.
OMG... my mom's was identical to that! Except she had a white fuzzy steering wheel and mirror cover... lol Sadly, being from upstate NY, by the time she got rid of it, swiss cheese had less holes.
Being a 1961 model myself, I have an affinity for the space age designs from that year. The Space Needle in Seattle, a local monument of the atomic age, was sketched and began construction in 1961. I see it almost daily and have spent many hours at the top, and I feel a kinship with it. The 1961 Fury, Dart, Imperial, the awesome 300G, Desoto,Thunderbird, Starliner, Continental, Cadillac... Fantasy dream cars from a time of bold vision, optimism, and enthusiasm.
Does anyone else remember the TV series "Car 54,Where are you?" This was one of the Plymouth models that were used in that series, although it was most likely a Savoy or Belvedere model. The series was based in New York city..
This car is very special. Chrysler's early '60s styling was more than a bit controversial, and like many cars of that time, they rusted away, so seeing a survivor like this one is a real treat. These were cars you could buy really cheap when I started driving in the mid-'70s, and they were very uncool, but I'll bet it would be the star at any car show today. It's nice to see that somebody really cared about this one. Does anyone else think the front grille inspired the Lexus stylists?
Cool car! I am laughing, thinking back to my age in 1961,....a clueless tot, all of the age of 7. I hadn't been awakened to the beauty of the cars yet. However, our family were Dodge buyers. My Pop bought the cars. Mom got the newest one, and he drove the other one. Me and my sister, could borrow Pop's car, on a very limited basis, & we rode our bikes, or car pooled. Indeed that car is amazing, and being in original condition, blows my mind. Excellent presentation.
The original spindle grill; my 2022 RX 350 chanels that grill to the endth. This generation of Mopar iron was prevelant in my neighbrhood driveways, often being towed for repair. Looked great, reliable as a brother-in-law
When I was growing up, our family car was a 1961 Plymouth Savoy, which was the base model. Our neighbors across the street had the Fury model - black with a red interior.
Beautiful car. My parents bought used one for a temporary car for mom for some reason in the mid 70s. The model had the clear rectangle steering wheel. I don't remember if it was a four door or a two door. It was in good shape. Metallic green with a white roof. We found two concrete chickens under the seats. We had those in our backyard for several years. It was sold to a man for his teenage daughter's first car. It would have been mine. But, I wasn't ready to learn to drive yet. I was old enough.
I was in my Uncle’s showroom with Grandpa, where there was a two-tone purple unit parked (probably a Belvedere). I told Grandpa, “You should get that!” No reply from Grandpa, but next thing I knew, it was in his driveway! He used it on his rural mail route. I was only 10, so I do not know how it was equipped. Would love to have, but would be a shame to bring it to the midwestern weather cycles.
My first car was a 1961 Belvedere in the same color combination.Mine had been modified by the previous owner and had the square steering wheel and the front seat from a 2 door hardtop.Parking brake never worked right...had to keep a chunk of wood to block the wheels
But wait….there’s no more Exner excess after 1961, just an inglorious plucked chicken. Jump on this mid century marvel before Charles changes his mind and keeps it for himself. Behold the glory of holding the keys!
A unique and spectacularly bizarre car, with a steampunk owl face that only a mother could love. Indeed it is in excellent condition - and it looks to be as weird as it was when it came off the assembly line.
My grandmother had this car, and as a kid, I was fascinated by the dashboard and all the automatic push buttons It had so many buttons and gauges and things to look at.
Now that the future is here. I wanna go back to when we thought the future would be cool
Palm Springs 1961
Ok let's go!
Man, you would have to be one of the luckiest men alive, to be able to procure and drive these absolutely stunning mid century pieces of rolling art.
That was sarcasm right???
Fantastic find, Charles. Behold the glory.

Boy where they ugly when new, but they are very cool now. So unique and outlandish.

Oh, for the love of God!!!

LETS JUST PUT THEM HERE! LOOKS LIKE AN AFTERTHOIUGHT BUT TODAY IT'S COOL!
Fierce and fabulous ❤ Remarkable treasure and all original?!? Love it to the moon and back!!!
A car exactly like this car was featured in a movie 1967 (Dana Andrews) called Hot Rods to Hell. The one you have is so pristine.
oh yeah hot rods to hell with Dana Andrews. I "think" his was a station wagon?
@@inkey2 it was a four door sedan I believe.
@@53doowopbill Right you are....I just checked
Chrysler products of the Cold war era looked so aggressive they were cool as f.... I drove a 1958 Plymouth.
My late father would love this Plymouth, he had several as I was growing up. I didn’t appreciate them at the time, but certainly do now..
Thanks Charles, you’re an old Soul, I always enjoy your taste in yesteryear. 🌈
What an extraordinary salesman you are!
❤ That front bumper!! Everything just so pristine & the gorgeous color in champagne!! It is amazing!! 🤩❤️
So very true!
Love 4dr.sedans. The perfect 1960s grandma car. Absolutely beautiful!!
You must be 70!!!
Those late 50's-early 60's Chrysler products had spectacular dash designs.
Mom and Dad had a 61 Fury station wagon. same as this. Memories. Mom drove that thing like a bat out of hell, 90-100 plus an the freeway all the time.
Found your channel about 4 days ago and man I can't get enough. Great stuff. 👍🏽
Spectacular condition certainly says it. Beautiful!
Omg WOW Worth Every Penny! You won’t find another like this one!
I agree! WOW!
Picture-perfect!
Charles- I love your descriptions. You bring automotive style back to life.
If I had the money to buy it, I'd snap it up in a heartbeat (no Chevrolet pun intended!). It's that beautiful. This would make a great weekend cruiser to take yourself and five good friends in. Just remind them "NO FOOD OR DRINK AND NO SMOKING IN THIS CAR!"
i hope you keep doing more content. I really enjoy it
I'm reminded of my 1961 Dodge Dart Pioneer I owned briefly during the late 1970s. The Fury depicted is an excellent example.
The Fury is mechanically the same car. Plymouth never got the longer wheelbase chassis which the Dodge Polara/Matador used in 1960-62.

Hey Charles…. I contacted you a few months back asking for a review on the 61 Plymouth fury, Thanks for posting charles…. Loved it ….😎🤙
My Dad had a blue one with the slant six. Its sooooooo perfect. Great video Charles. Cheers.
It is painful to ponder after viewing the sacred dedicated effort of the designing team to bring every aspect of this automobile's DNA into existence that humans are extinguishing other humans all over the planet instead of sharing this joy of technological high achievement.
Awesome as usual Charles! I truly enjoy all your videos and fine automobiles. Just wondering if you ever sell any cars that aren't Creampuffs?
"Plymouth spelled out in your favorite lesbian aunt's handwriting." I'm dying!!!!
That's something that Bill of Curious Cars would say! 😂😂
I said the same thing I laughed my ass off
Why do gay people have to throw their perverted view on everything? Why does the aunt have to be a pervert lesbian? So no, it's not funny. It's actually boring and typical.
How did you know my aunt is a lesbian ?
In other words, autographed by the narrator.
Pure perfection,
This one is incredible!
I always thought these cars had a mean, don’t mess with me face in front. They sure had wild styling back then. A great time capsule!
I always thought it was more of a "Take me to your leader!" kinda face! 🤓
The year of my birth.
I'll take it!!!!
My birth year, too! August, 1961
@@john-robert1961Same here. September 1961.
Me too. November 1961

the interstellar transport of the Andorians...and in mint condition! Charles speaking in an appropriately reverent tone
This car was conspicuously more beautiful than the full size Dodge that year. Nice find!
Amazing car .How does something like this exist and where do you find it?
Incredible 61 Fury ❤
I bet his favorite bar isn't a Torsion Bar !
So much attention to detail Chrysler designers even physically AND visually offset the driver's portion of the front bench seat. Amazing.
Thank you for your APPRECIATION to your subscribers Charles!!😢

Charles, you appear to be located in the Coachella Valley somewhere. Is your amazing collection available for in-person viewing?
I want it!! So beautiful 😫
Virgil Exner , thank you
That gorgeous car compels me to hear some Stan Kenton.
You, Sir, are obviously a person of excellent tastes! 🍸
Unique! Keep em coming!
Chrysler went a bit wild with styling in the early 60s
Beautiful! Reminds me of Ward pulling into the driveway on Leave It To Beaver.

There's a hold-up in the Bronx, Brooklyn's broken out in fights...
Yeh....I remember that. Both Herman Munster and Grandpa played in it. They dumped the ugly Ply. and traded it in on the Munster Coach.😂
The Bronx to be precise.

Ward Cleaver had one just like it!
Unbelievable conditon of such an awesome design, I'm surprise your selling it but I'm sure it will go to an excited new owner.
I want to open a diner with an interior decor themed in 1961 Plymouth Fury. This cars like one large Root Beer Float! 😮😋
Out of this world, lost in glorious space of delectable details of futurious satisfaction!✨💫

Love your car. Can’t. Believe. Low. Miles. Amazing thanks
Super looking motor vehicle 🇬🇧
My Aunt owned the same car when we were kids.
Looks like it was just driven out of the showroom !!!!!!
It's Ward Cleavers car! Wow.
My fave Cleaver car! Remember the Beaver and Gilbert G/Bates playing in it, and it rolled into the street?!
That was my first thought!
For years, I've thought the current crop of Lexus cars' "spindle grilles" was a cribbing of this Plymouth's design.
I agree!
LOOKS MUCH BETTER WITH TAILFINS, LIKE THE 1957 TO 1960.
My neighbor when I was a kid had that exact car in those colors.
Stunning!!
Ward Cleaver drove a Plymouth just like that for awhile on “Leave it to Beaver”. Circa 1960-‘61.
