Welcome to Street Freaks Garage. We are a small father/son hot rod and classic car shop. We LOVE classic cars (from the late 20's through the 70's) with a passion!

We can't thank you enough for tuning in, subscribing and supporting the channel.
😂 Car when I was a teenager was a 1957 Dzodge current D500 Hemi interceptor 2d post I worked for the Dodge Dealer in Sedalia MO Bryant Motors, Good luck and p Make it look good again.
In my area only lower class people or people who didn't care, bought Plymouths. But us kids knew and loved all the new and brilliant forward look cars. We noticed and memorized EVERY model of the Plymouth and dodges. I can only remember the Plaza and the Savoy model names now. We all knew what the Fury was along with the Dodge Custom Royal D-500...AND We SURE knew about the DeSoto ADVENTUER with its gold grille and gold hub caps. You could hear the DeSoto HEMI winding z z ř⁵_
Those are fantastic memories. Yes the Forward Look Cars were absolute works of art. The only model I see you didn't call for Plymouth was the Belvedere. Great job on listing the models. Thank you for watching and I hope to earn you as a subscriber 👍
@@packr72 good guess. It's shown in the full video. Let's be honest almost no 57/58 Plymouths have saveable floors. That's why this one's floors will be replaced. Thanks for watching. 👍
@@packr72 for sure. It's a two part series called "The Twin Furys". Yeah they actually rushed/released these cars three years early to keep up or get ahead of Chevrolet and Ford in styling. The 57 wasn't supposed to be released until 1960, therefore the time for quality control was sacrificed. Unfortunately that came back to haunt them. Thanks again for watching hope to earn you as a subscriber. 👍
Still like to known what city your from . See your from Michigan. A troll ** . Me to being a troll under Saginaw mi or Bay City Michigan area . Mt Morris Michigan I'm from .
Possibly as a last resort. The original piece is thick aluminum and has gears molded into it for the window crank. Some plastics may hold up but I'm not sure how well due to the amount of force it takes to crank that large window. I may end up doing that if I can't find one though.
My parents were very conservative so it indeed was a surprise when I came home from a college break to see a new '57 Plymouth in the drive. Four door, cream top and metallic gold bottom with a cream strip running up the side of the body, rear to front. Push button transmission, humongous tail fims, and a V8 engine. That car sure could move. It got a whopping 8 MPG!
Wow, this was very interesting and complete. The tail lamp difference on the wagon model was a surprise. If you had a wagon and needed to replace the lenses, looks like that could be a problem. Have you ever had a "Plodge" in your shop - a Canadian market Dodge model, like Mayfair, which is a Dodge front clip on a Plymouth body. You can just search for "Canadian Dodge Mayfair" and find pictures.
Good to see someone go into things such as differences in molding, body panels etc. Most get stuck on horsepower, cubic inches and how this all compares to a Corvette.
I was 4 years old in 1958. I really liked cars. I knew the difference between the 1957 and 1958 headlights, valence panel, and tail lights even back then. I disliked the '58 tail lights because I thought the lights should be in the fin. I liked the front ends equally. You pointed out a lot that I didn't know, like the '58 tail lights were supposed to reflect in the upper trim in the fin. Even today I prefer the 1957 and almost can't believe someone would convert one into a '58. As for the wagon, I thought the fins should have been like sedans and hard tops and not been leaning forward. The fins on the wagons never looked right to me. Imagine if other manufacturers had done that, for example a 1957 Chevy wagon with the fins slanted forward on the wagons.
The '57 and '58 Plymouths shown had the push button automatic selector. Both of these also came with a three speed manual transmission. These had the gear shift attached to a separate shaft below the steering column, making shifting somewhat awkward compared to the competing competition so equipped. Fords had the shift shaft on top of the column. Chevy had theirs inside the column.
You mention that people like to “convert” 57 Plymouths to look like 58’s. I gotta ask - why would anybody do that, when 57’s look so much better? The headlights, taillights, even the hubcaps of a 57 all look better that those same components on a 58.
I'm watching the show of 57 and 58 Plymouth and it's a good learning tool here's another one for you 59 Buick LeSabre and Victor electric and electric 225 four doors and floor pans big difference on all four
That is correct. Buick (and really many GM products of that era) had many differences among models. Although the LeSabre & Invicta had a lot of close similarities. Length/frame was the same on those two models.
the one that WILL be confusing is a fury vs Chrysler Windsor. There used to be a Windsor in one yard and a Fury in the other yard.both ,58 cars. same paint and everything. They didn't look perfectly across each other. But it was confusing.
On the interior shots in the '57 someone has pulled the heater fan knob and put it where the headlight knob should be, leaving the fan control with just the stem sticking out.
I am impressed. I thought I knew the differences... but only knew so few. Dad had a new 1958 Belvedere four door hardtop. Turquoise and white with sport tone. It was beautiful. Dad was a deSoto guy, but money was tight in 1958 with the recession our country was experiencing. A strippo deSoto Firesweep was about the same price as the Belvedere, BUT the Belvedere was nicely equipped and trimmed. I was afraid that when I grew up, cars could not be as beautiful. I think I was rightl Still think the 58 deSoto Fireflite was the best styled car ever. What do you think? Thanks for the video.
interesting video ,thank you. didn,t the 1950,s dodge,s sold in canada have the identical tail lights as the plymouth. all the 50,s dodges on tv /movies [ in us] show three round lights in the tail fins. am i correct ? thanks
