1933 Plymouth PD deluxe, rumble seat coupe 

Steely Dan - Do it again

That is one beautiful little Plymouth. So many nice features for an entry level brand. Very nicely restored as well.

Thanks Jay! Everything on this 1933 Plymouth is so beautiful. 🙂

❤ whoever does the detailing on these cars is exquisite. The paint is better than it was when it was new, the shine is increadable!

That's a cool old Plymouth, Jay. I like the gauges and the rear window you can lower. Too bad about the rain ☔ this Saturday.

That car looks brand new! No wonder it got so many awards.

Love the styling on this one, looks a lot more expensive than what you'd expect of a Plymouth...just like the '57s did! WYR #1 - Plymouth #2 Aztec!

A very attractive car. Thanks Jay. Now here's a heads-up for when you do a 34 Plymouth. For 34, some models trialled independent front suspension. It was dropped for 35 and came back in 39. Could you add to your repertoire getting down on your knees and taking shots of suspension sometimes? The other time I wished for that was when you were looking at a Lincoln, and I wondered whether it used Ford's idiosyncratic suspension. On floor mounted starter buttons, they remove the need for a solenoid and for the starter gear to find it's own way to the ring gear teeth. Maybe it was cheaper to make. However, right hand drive versions of American 1930s cars did use solenoid operation, with hence a button on the dashboard.

This handsome Plymouth was somebody's pride and joy in one of the worst years of the Great Depression. I'm so glad it survived. There are so many thoughtful touches in this car, like the elegant speedometer needle, which although not opulent is far nicer then I expected it to be. The original owner had every right to be proud of this car, and I'm sure he felt extremely fortunate to have the wherewithal to buy it. WYR #1: The Chevy. #2: The Aztec was always a toad and hasn't improved one little bit. The Buick is boring. The XLR has been a "Yes, please!" since day one!

Nice little coupe! I had really ignored this era of autos, and I can't say that they are favorite, but I can say that I've gained a new perspective and appreciation from seeing them on this channel!😎 First scenario, probably the Plymouth. Second, Never cared for any of these, although the new, trimmer version of the Enclave, (unless it's a different model I've seen), looks a lot better than in previous models, IMO.

Another great video, Jay, of a super Plymouth. Love the back window doohicky. 😂

Such a fine style for that yr/range; a green '32 2 door sedan features in a key sequence in the movie: "Bonnie & Clyde". Incidentally, that lovely"painted" woodgrain-on-metal trim is actually the first application of the infamous "Di-Noc"; a feature that became ubiquitous across the industry. Yep, the "Family Truckster" started here.😊

This was a lot of car for $545 in 1933 - very nicely trimmed, and with thoughtful features. Probably why it was a top seller. The second wiper was indeed an option, note that the feature car has just the standard single wiper.

👍 Chevy coupe Pontiac Aztec 😱 some Pontiac executives were licking frogs 🐸🐸??? Plymouth had styling 👍✌️ Great episode 😉

5:40 It looks as if the "6" circular badge could have been access to a "crank," perhaps on an earlier model. I was thinking, with 5.5:1 compression, those engines would actually be fairly easy to turn over by hand.

Pretty car, with a lot of great features. Choices - 1933 Ford (easy for me as that was my dad’s first car) and the Enclave. The features and time have softened my view on the Aztec and the Art and Science design of the Cadillac kicked off a renaissance. Thank you as always ~ Chuck (shovel in hand).

Granddad first new car was a 33 Plymouth. He remained a Plymouth man for life

Nice video, you don't see early Plymouth's very often.

Cool old Plymouth. It's really strange about that seat, I'm not sure I've ever seen one that low in a car of that era. I think the first round goes to the Chevy. it's a really good looking car. Second round, the Pontiac Aztek. I don't think it's as bad as it used to seem, but it's still not exactly pretty. I'd totally drive that Cadillac every day, though.

I’ve always liked the idea of rumble seats in automobiles, for they served two functions: a place to stash items out of prying eyes; and a place to put unpleasant passengers, like a mother-in-law. I suppose that our present day trunks are direct descendants of the rumble seat - a good place to deposit bodies… I mean luggage.

People who remember Plymouths from the 60's and 70's would probably tell you you always got a little with them than a Ford or Chevy (torsion bars & A727 torqueflight notwithstanding). They always felt cheap, especially the Fury vs. Impala/Caprice, Galaxie/LTD. But in the 30's, up to WWII, you always got 'more'. It wasn't just floating power and 4 wheel hydraulics, there was a quality baked in and usually a better interior. Plymouths were usually the most expensive of 'the low priced three' as well. This when $20-30 meant something. (Inflation calculators become less useful during the depression - you really have to compare relative pricing - a blue collar working man might make 1,100 a year - and on that scale the Plymouth was more like $27,000 today) No idea you traveled so far to CCM, obviously multiple videos per trip / that's a killer 'commute' WYR: 1) that's tough: Ford has more zip and collector value, but the Plymouht would be generally more comfortable - have to figure out that seat issue. 2) Aztek - god awful.

Enjoyed, GREAT vid!!!! 👍👍

Hi Jay!: That Plymouth is a really slick design! Too bad it had uncomfortable seating! Gotta pick the 1933 Ford though, with that flathead v-8 power! Second. . . .hmmmmmm. . . .no real contest. . AZTEC for sure! That was weird when it came out! I guess it was pretty reliable? A manager that worked at my workplace still drives one! As an aside, it's a shame that all those pretty vehicles came out in 1932-34 when the depression was at its worst! Seems like there are less 1933 models around than pretty much any other year of the '30's. And the 1934 Packards and Cadillacs! REALLY NICE designs! The Cadillac and LaSalle with those NIFTY biplane bumpers and slick front end design! And Packards! Most of them are nice anyway!

I love that '33 Plymouth and would take it in a New York minute! Also, the Cadillac XLR(Corvette) is a pretty cool car. It's too bad that they didn't make more of them. Cadillac misjudged their Cadillac buyer's market. The choices made for the Pontiac brand were not the best. Bring back the LeMans, made in S. Korea by Daewoo wasn't a very smart move. Built on an Opel design, the first ones I saw was an actual Opel in Canada in 1986. Plagued with reliability issues from the start, replacement parts supplies were also a problem. Many cars were hung up in Pontiac dealerships for weeks at a time, waiting for warranty replacement parts. If that wasn't bad enough, Pontiac next brought in the Mexican made Aztec! Many consider the Aztec the final nail in Pontiacs coffin. It was already too late for Pontiac when they introduced the Australian-made GTO. Pontiac marketed the Aztec like Rambler marketed their cars in the mid-50's as great for car-camping. Pontiac offered a tent which would attach to the rear hatch . It didn't go over too well. Having an AWD option didn't help either. The drivetrain was fairly GM conventional and that may be why it lasted a few years. Even hauling one out to wherever they were shooting a season of "Survivor" and gave it away to one of the Survivors. Even that didn't result in new sales at the Pontiac dealers. Now, here's my Aztec story. For some reason, the Canadian government bought a fleet of Aztecs. I found out about this when one year I was at the S.E.M.A. show in Las Vegas. Alex Debagorski of the "Ice Road Truckers" was one of the featured celebrity guests. I was honored to hang out with him for awhile(and he's really the big nice guy you've seen on the show). While I was hanging out with him he kept getting calls from home. What I found out was that he bought a lot of 100 Aztecs at a government auction. He planned of getting them running and driving well so that he could resell them. When he told me, I couldn't contain my laughter. Alex didn't appreciate that. He told me that he paid so little for them that he couldn't help but make a nice profit. I like going to auto wrecking yards and finding all kinds of rarities and failed projects. One thing I have never seen is a Pontiac LeMans(Daewoo) or an Aztec. I can't tell you the last time I saw those cars driving around or even parked in somebody's yard. lol

Looks pretty decent considering its just a little more than the model T. Curb weight is modest even by todays standards. A little less than my 85 Saab 900. About the same as my TR 6. 400,000 cars sold in the depression. Nice.

1: Yes. 2: Buick Enclave. I like the Aztek for its practicality. Tune: Do It Again by Steely Dan?

W.E. I hear you about the Aztec. I think Pontiac was on the skids when they quit their own engines.

Great car and video. I choose the Plymouth, though if these were 1932, I'd take the Chevy; in 1934 I'd take the Ford. I pick the Buick because my brother had one and I thought, while it was just a bit less ugly than the Aztek, it hasn't gotten any better, and the revulsion at the Aztek has softened a bit!

Jay A nick name for the Rumble Seat Is The Mother In Law Seat

Those reflectors you identified on rear bumper. Were they reflectors? I thought i saw wires running to them. They had 2 horns outside AND 1 horn under the hood? I wonder if they were all factory..?

I'm normally a Ford guy, but this time I'll go with the '33 Plymouth. This car may be influencing me because it's so nicely restored. As far as which car aged the worst, the Pontiac Aztec. Butt-ugly even when new, in the "what were they thinking" category. By the way, getting into those rumble seats must have been rough. Your mother in law probably would have taken a tumble trying to get in.

Just a nice car! I could see why (other than price) why it was so popular at the time. Of the 3 (1933) choices, I'd take the Ford for the styling and the flathead V-8. The Pontiac Aztek is without question the epitome of ugly. The Buick does deserve an honorable mention - the styling looks like the aftermath of a dogs face that chases parked cars.

To those who made comments like little more than a model t, let's take a look. Plymouth entered the market at 60yh but in &5: yrs was in 4,th. Unlike Chevy and Ford here are some features that it so driveable and durable. 100k super finish engines vs 40k ford and Chevy. Standard 4 wheel hydraulic brakes., Safety glass all windows. Full flow oil filter safety rims and synchronous trans to name a few.

I vote for the Pontiac Aztec as having aged the worst. Always felt it was one of the ugliest cars of my lifetime. Very sad because Pontiacs were the coolest in the 60's and 70's.

I'll take the Plymouth

I think I’d take the ‘33 Plymouth. I know it’s Chrysler’s low cost car, but Chrysler Corp. went to hydraulic brakes earlier than the others (a friend’s ‘29 Dodge has them. All three of those modern cars aged badly, but the Aztek was weird from its first day.

creo que las 550x 17 eran las ruedas aun . 🎥👍

The Pontiac is hedious compared to the Buick or Cadillac. The Caddy XLR actually looks a bit sexier due to the fact it doesn’t look like the melted jelly bean styling of the Buick. The Plymouth doesn't seem like a bad car overall except it does seem to be underpowered as you mentioned.

Cooles thing the windshields open uncle jim took me for a ride 65years ago great till a wasp joined us 😮

Light My Fire by the Doors

The back window rolls down so you can talk to someone in the rumble seat.

At 13:01 you point t a cylindrical device behind the steering column. Did this car have a vacuum assisted clutch or was the freewheel vacuum operated? As for the best looking car, I'll choose the Plymouth on this round. As for the car that aged the worst , the Aztek.

1933 Plymouth Buick

👍👍👍👍👍

No opinion on WDR #1, #2 the Aztek was butt ugly while still on the showroom floor!

33 Ford/ Buick Enclave

Black Magic Woman, Santana?

At the line "even for a Plymouth" all Mopar lovers cringe in unison.... This was a banner year for Plymouth. The styling while pedestrian is nonetheless decent. Their floating power engine mounts created a very smooth feeling automobile. They were not as fast as the equivalent Ford model but they were good cars solid and dependable that year. 33 Plymouth. FTW

It would be a toss-up between the Chevy and the Plymouth for me--with the decider being the Plymouth's seating position. I think the Pontiac Aztec started out ugly, but it still aged badly. But if that made it a bargain, I would have snapped it up. It doesn't have to be decorative.

Too bad Plymouth didn't have a V-8 then, like Ford did!😁🛠️

33 Chevy ,Aztec

The 1933 ford v8

Plymouth PC

The Aztec didn't age badly, it was ugly from birth! The Buick and Caddy don't look so bad. The '33 Plymouth looks better to me than any car made today.

33 Chev Caddy XLR, the other two, make them stop... song was easy for us old farts, but, alas, too slow responding...

15:20 I think the Pontiac Aztec is fairly recognized as one of the ugliest cars ever produced. That's a high bar, but I think they at least came close =:-0

Now this is a great looking car. Surprised that its performance doesn’t match the look. The Aztec aged horribly…..Ugh.

By far the Aztec. Ugly the day it was born and ugly the day it died But they will draw a crowd at a Cars and Coffee

The Aztec always was ugly imo. The Cadillac is sweet.

The Aztek didn't age badly. It was ugly from the start!

1st choice 33 Plymouth; 2000's cars that aged badly (ugh!) Pontiac aztek way over the top worst
