In this inaugural episode 1 of The Cars of Palm Springs we feature a 1960 Chrysler New Yorker, cruising to famous Mid Century spots around the city and then out on the open road
A Gorgeous, well-preserved `60 Chrysler alright!! My grandfather had a silver-green NY 4dr. hardtop with a white rook, and the toilet seat on the rear deck!! Power everything too! It was a beauty!
In the mid-60s one of my girl friends had this same New Yorker but it did have A/C. He would toss me the keys so his daughter and I could head to the local drive-in for a burger and fry etc. My father had a very similar Chrysler product at that time too and it was a DeSoto. It was loaded as well but didn't have the "Dome" instrument cluster which I loved. That DeSoto replaced our 58 Edsel and the DeSoto was replaced by a 1965 Pontiac Grand Prix and my fondest cars have always been from that era. Thanks for sharing this beautiful "Land Yacht," they truly don't make them like these incredible works of automotive art any more.
We just bought a 1960 NewYorker two door out of Princeton WV....It was a California car... Mint green with tan interior and a white roof...Loaded up with AC Power windows and antenna etc... We also have a 61 NewYorker two door under restoration.... Love your vids!
My first time here, I think. Loved the videography and cheek. Sometimes the music got too much for me so I just turned down the volume and it was fine. Thanks for putting so much into show casing this '60 classic. Palm Springs never looked lovelier.
Thank you for watching and commenting ! This particular episode was our very first one, and we were very new to the RU-vid process, please check out some of our later productions ( 1965 Buick Riviera is the latest ) and hopefully they sound and mixing are better !
This video made my weekend, as it represents two things very near and dear to my heart, our beloved Palm Springs and my ultimate dream car. I actually had one of these beauties when I was 18. Nowhere near the condition of this one, actually a basket case that languished in a farmer’s field for many years before I bought it for $1000. I had wild dreams of restoring it with my $4/hr shoe store paycheques, but before long reality set in and sadly, I had to let her go. If I could ever be in a position to own a classic car, this would be the one so that I could make my lifelong dream come true, and in PS to make it even more perfect. Thank you so much for creating and sharing this video. A beautiful car in a beautiful setting. Can’t ask for more than that! Subscribed and looking forward to more videos!
Thank you so much John , our goal is achieved with your comment, that is the whole purpose of this channel ! Yes I think all of us petrol heads have owned dream cars that we now wish we had kept. Thanks for subscribing that helps us out so much !
Beautiful car and a gorgeous backdrop. Probably a little after dawn with that little traffic, hm? Unfortunate that the long, flowing lines are interrupted by that antenna in the middle of a fin.
Thank you for watching ! Sharp eye, yes we tend to shoot early Sunday mornings to avoid traffic, people yelling or honking, and security guards. It seems that antenna was a factory option, maybe as an after thought ? Cheers !
Hey there..Really good video on the Chrysler. I also enjoyed the architecture tour as well.. More videos please. Personally I would like to see American cars in the upper levels such as this one. Cadillacs, Buicks, Imperials, Lincoln..Bring em on!
Thank you so much for watching Andy and so glad you enjoyed the concept ! We are busy bees editing episode 002 which features a 1965 Sunbeam Tiger, it is due to go live in a week or so. After that for episode 003 is an awesome 1966 Pontiac GTO, then we definitely have a wonderful Buick Riviera, Cadillac, studebaker, Avanti and many other American beauties in the cue to shoot. It seems we are on track to release about 1 episode a month right now, but as we get streamlined hopefully twice a month ..... Please Subscribe and hit the bell if you want notifications when we post new videos !
What were (if any) the engine options for this car? And his mistake in parking was not to use a LOT more angle going in. Turn the wheel ALL the way, son.
What a superb video....clearly the best of this type I have seen....a stunning American car, and an architectural tour of Palm Springs......not even the Europeans consistently designed, and made their cars to be true Automotive works of Art like the Americans did.....some background music from , say, Frankie Avalon, B0bby Rydell or the Beach Boys would have been good also. Many thanks from Australia Les Griffiths
Thank you for watching and the kind words ! You get the point of the show perfectly ! We would love to use better music but RU-vid is very picky about copyrights and licensing
Thanks for understanding our very limited pickings for music that passes copyright rules ! Interesting production note the Walkaround and Open Road songs are full song-alike reproductions we had to methodically reproduce to replace some 60s library music we had originally used, it took 2 months to do, lesson learned !
I love this car!! Thank you for making such a great quality video! Do you know Charles Phoenix (joy ride) sometimes his videos are in Palm Springs but he just sold a 57 imperial I don’t know if you had a chance to see it it was so beautiful and original keep up the excellent work I subscribed twice on both my accounts
Thank you for Subscribing ! We have seen Charles videos they are great, he seems to focus in mid century era styles , think he is based in LA Silverlake but does PS stuff
@@thecarsofpalmsprings yes Charles is definitely mid century modern! But he’s an old car enthusiast! he grew up on a used car lot. He has a beautiful 1958 De Soto Fireflight sportsmen 30,000 org miles.
I had the same car. It looks white but the title said Lavender. under the right light u could see the light lavender. Power 4 ways seats, power antenna, and power windows. I was living in high cotton.
Hmm works for me on 3 different Macs and my iPhone, Maybe try adjusting the Settings to a different resolution under the little Gear icon ? Do other videos play and also the advertisements ? Strange
In Palm Springs the summer can reach 120 F in the afternoon, so the key is to drive early in the morning with these non AC cars. But that makes the hot season episodes much more difficult to shoot. During the other 9 months however it is all ideal blue skies and 70-ish weather making it a perfect "The Cars of Palm Springs" area for enjoying these beautiful cars !
@@thecarsofpalmsprings Around 2006, I lived in Palm Springs. It was summer. The dry heat killed my old Buick. I helped open the Purple Palm restaurant. It was an interesting time in my life.
Glad you mentioned that and hopefully can appreciate the amount of work and energy that goes in to these episodes ! This weekend it hit the usual 120 F or 49C , that is why we shoot these at sunrise - 5 to 6 AM and wrap it up by 8AM ! This morning - 7/16/23 at 8 AM it was 95 F or 35 C , by noon it was 114 F or 46 C it is very tough to shoot these old classic cars in the summer !
Beautiful car, beautiful area except for those wind farms whoever thought that was a good idea I said the eye pollution that they caused is worse than anything you can imagine someday people are gonna look back at that and say what were these people thinking
