My fathers boss' Missus had a Fjordblue CSi. I sometimes had the pleasure to collect it from service at the 'Münchener Bmw Niederlassung'. A good 40 years later I still get thrills just by looking at the shifter console with its electric window switches placed around the stick. That velvet engine tickling your spine. Man, I felt like a pilot 😊.
It always saddens me to see vehicles like the '57 in that period of transition to complete climate control. Obviously someone who owned this massively expensive convertible could have afforded to have air conditioning (which worked superbly, I had an aunt back then with a '57 Sixty Special). They didn't seem to understand that air conditioning could not only cool the interior, but also equally important, could dehumidify. I've owned two large convertibles and while it's fun to drive top-down, there are just so many days when air conditioning makes the car a true year-round delight. Thanks for the great photography here, and best wishes from Texas!
My Dad had a '59 black & white 4 door Coronet I remember it had the push button automatic transmission. I don't think any other automaker used that. I never got to drive it as I was way too young then. Then he got a '62 Pontiac Bonneville After that he got a ;'65 Ford Thunderbird. That one I did get to drive when I got my license in 1970.
The Peugeot 401 was the first car to be built (by coachbuilder Carrosserie Pourtout) as a coupé-convertible, with a retractable hardtop that could be moved and stowed under a reverse-hinged rear luggage lid. en.wikipedia.org › wiki › P...
It is my understanding that these cars were specially built for the Fords the Ford executive family and they drove them and they were light years ahead of the time and if you've ever got the drive one and I have driven one they are unbelievable you got to remember this was back in the fifties this is not current model
There we go again: ICONIC! Every clown these days with a youtube post has something that is ICONIC. Think a little. Find other words. How can you be that lazy and pretentious at the same time.
The VERY FIRST SENTENCE show this was AI narrated. “Three Hundred and Fifty Six”??? And so you lost my interest. To say nothing of the absurd title card-which did get me to click through to see how wrong the rest of it was. Job done.
😂well, thanks… some great pictures …interestingly, my Parents had the CORONET 1959/ 9 Passenger / rear Facing ,back seat/ auto /PS/ PB/V8/Cream/ Beige …..oddly, I never got interested in it , or worked on it , though driving it 1961-63 …….Anyways, could use some, CLOSER looks at STATION WAGONS …. RUMOUR HAS A few were specially built / Optioned ,etc ( e.g. the 1967 Ford Country Squire Wagon/428//4 Speed, Tom Cotter/ BARn Find, etc)
My father purchased a 1957 Custom Royal when it came out. I believe that was the top of the line in 1957. Unfortunately, while Chrysler did bring out the fabulous Torqueflight, full-time power steering, torsion bar suspension, large brake pad area, and more, it completely blew it on buid quality and reliability. We lived in the Detroit area, which used salt for snow removal. Chrysler products that were designed and built in the area were abysmal regarding rust through. They should have been aware of this design flaw. The passenger side of the front seat floor rusted so badly that you could flex the floor. My father had to replace the front torsion bars twice: The rearward mounting point allowed salty water from snow removal to enter. Without an exit point or any effective air drying, the torsion bar would gradually erode. Constant flexing of the bars over bumps would cause them to break at the attachment point. The upholstery was of low quality: It ripped in several areas. There were other problems as well, but I'll stop here. The car and all Chrysler products of this generation were undeniably beautiful, especially when compared to the GM and Ford products. The style and technology of these cars caused many to flock to Chrysler. Within a few years of ownership, the shitty build quality caused many to never return. This led to the abysmal sales of the 1960s models. The dubious styling of the cars helped that. The Dodge was my father's first and last Chrysler product. Stellantis of today continues the tradition of crappy quality cars. I have not even one fond memory of that 1957 Dodge Custom Royal.
Your videos are one big word salad. You are describing one part of the car but you are showing pictures of another part. You keep referring to the forward look but never present any detailed description of what that means. Quite boring with many empty words..
Bull crap! Economy was NOT booming as of late 1957 (the so-called Eisenhower Recession) - and before that, severe quality issues hammered Mopar. Do DECENT RESEARCH PLEASE
It's really annoying when people put out videos without any research or attention to detail. The turquoise car you are calling a '57 is actually a '59. One obvious clue is that 57s did not have dual headlights, but rather a turn signal light where the second light would eventually be placed in '58. Please do a better job. No, I won't be subscribing.
You would like 600 viewers? you should really shut your channel down! your narration is FILLED with flaws and inaccurate redundancies, for example showed the wrong photo when talking about the wrong year model of car repeatedly!, in addition No Packard Caribbean EVER had dual headlights though you say it over an over and OVER in your narrations as a breakthrough technical innovation............................ FYI boys and girls dual headlights were not introduced on american made cars until ''1958'' long after this car went out of production you also mentioned its "technical innovations" like water temp, oil and battery gauges, these things were found on every other car of the day and had been for decades by this time as well as air conditioning also available as an option on everything from mid price point Ford sedans of the day all the up though Cadillacs and other upper end cars if you not going to even TRY to get your grammar and facts about what your talking about correct then take your videos down and stop wasting our time
I can remember working on one of those back in the early '70s as a young Lincoln Mercury technician. I spent days chasing down interior water leaks. I can still remember the smell of old musty leather as if it was yesterday. I did so well on that car that my next job was a late '40s Cosmopolitan. The power windows were hydraulic and had sprung a few leaks.
The arrow on your thumbnail points to a ninteen fifty-FOUR Packard Caribbean. If you screw up something that basic how can any viewer of your content possibly trust anything you're saying!
4:21: Dual headlights in 1954?? Uh, no. 11:03: "I-L-B-F-T?"j I think Mister computer means lb-ft (foot pounds of torque). 12:40: The Ultramatic tranny was not a two-speed, but variable speed very much like Buick's Dynaflow.
