My grand mom had 2 62 Plymouth savoys and raced them :) she told me many stories , especially how no one could beat her up the hill . Her favorite car
My 1962 Plymouth Belvedere is a state of Maine police car. 7 leaf rear springs, heavy tortion bars, 727 Light Flight. Just a 318 polysphere I got it with an acfb four barrel. The car was purchased by the state and sold back to the dealer on Forest Ave in Portland. A little old lady bought it and put 20,000 miles on.
These guys clearly love these max wedge cars and the knowledge they have is worth its weight in gold if you are buying one!
That is one sweet car those max wedge cars were eating everything on the street and Strip in the early 60's they are legendary
Love the video. I heard San Fernando mentioned. I raced there often, in addition to Lions, San Gabriel, and the old Irwindale and Bakersfield. Landy used to tune my 63 Sport Fury 426 ...have a pic of me racing him one day at the Pond
Love this Plymouth!
I grew up riding in a car just like this. I don’t believe it was a performance model though. Dad had it painted in a gold color where it had been white originally. I seem to remember it having a couple of tail lights on each side, maybe a year off or different trim level. Anyway, a good memory from my childhood, thanks for posting!
great job guys
62 to 65 you just dont see those much, my dad had a 65 with a huge engine..first time I ever went over a 100mph as a kid...it was scarey.
I had a '66 Fury I 2 dr. Absolute plain Jane , small hub caps , rubber floor mat , but it had a 440 under the hood. Ordered by a Plymouth dealer who was a performance freak. That was a very fast car.
The trunk mat is new and is made of the wrong rubber also missing the inked on part number.
no back-up lights?
They were bare-bones bodies and chassis. The wedge engine was the big option on the list price. They were typically fleet and taxis choices when the i-6 base engine was used.
The sales were poor. The car was downsized from the previous model and early sixties buyers wanted bigger, lower, wider.
Some model B Fords from the 30s only had one tail light, and the deluxe trim would have two. Same with fender mirrors. Two was deluxe.
Look up 1962 Belvedere and 1962 Plymouth Fury.
Savoy had 2 brake lights the Belvedere added the backup lights and the Fury added another set of stop lights.
They were options!
In 1962 backup lights were still an option believe it or not. I don’t think they became mandatory until perhaps ‘67? I do know that dual master cylinders were a requirement by that year as every ‘67 model I’ve ever seen has a dual circuit brake system.
But you took off the center cap off with a screwdriver ?!
The owner hid it in his uncle's chicken coop to keep the bank from a repo.
you are a know nothing doucher ,SHUT UP
I recall these as a kid. Still strange and ugly.
I briefly saw two ‘59 Caddies in the background. We owned a black Series 62 two door.
Those caddy's,now those are ugly cars.
and yet,,,you dont run the car...?????
1962 Plymouth Savoy Max Wedge 2 my friend trying sale it me but asking to much.
These guys can't tell if it's a real MW oil pan! I can by looking at it ,even when it's been modified. They don't really instil confidence in their abilities. SO Number in 2 places on car tells the truth
100% American......
The Devil just started to move in, and look at we have today.......Junk!
And PLASTIC!
61 and 62 were the two ugliest Plymouth's ever made .
The 1961 and 1962 were completely different cars. The original 1962 design was penned by Virgil Exner and was reported to be a larger, better looking car. Then Exner was sidelined with a heart attack and Chrysler management, hearing that Chevrolet was going to introduce a downsized Impala. Chrysler quickly had the large Exner car downsized and it came off poorly. Sales suffered. Turns out, the down sized Chevrolet turned out to be the Chevy II Nova. Turns out, the smaller, full size Plymouth had a weight advantage ov er the full size Ford and Chevrolet. Racers loved 'em!
@@scootergeorge9576 still pretty as a hoss!
@@theeecandlemaker2197 - Beauty and the eye of the....dude looking at it, I guess! ; )
Hmmm, I thought the downsized cars were to be the new for ‘64 GM A bodies? That would kinda make sense as it takes several years to come up with a completely new platform.
If this party and overheard rumor happened in 1960, that would be about right as the stylists and engineers would need enough time to have the cars ready by the fall of ‘63 for instance.
I have a 1961 fury conv don’t see maney today
Worst video I every seen
