1964 Plymouth Fury, Belvedere, Savoy, Valiant vs Ford GM and AMC Intermediates Dealer Promo Film 

I'm 71 and a greaser from Detroit , been a gear head for ever. Great video.

In HS, I owned a 1964 Valiant with a 273 V8 and 4 speed. I loved that car.

Performance-full size Fury? BARRACUDA!!

426 Savoy.....yeah that's the ticket in '64 🥰

My favourite years for the Plymouth Belvedere and Fury are 1962, 1963, and 1964.

These pure unibody Mopars were so far ahead of GM and Ford it was ridiculous. Taut, rigid, fantastic suspension, steering, transmissions, etc.

Dad bought a 1963 Valiant in Australia known as the AP5. Its more or less the same as the V200. Some parts made in America and the rest in Australia. We still have the car. Ours has the wipers that wipe for left hand drive, during the model run for that year some had wipers to left the others wipe right. So ours is an American shell with Australian rear quarters and grill. Great car its been in a long term rebuild soon to be finished.

Im sold! Im heading down to my local plymouth dealer and checking out....er...never mind.

Joe Gates looks sketchy.

What about the dual circuit brake system, standard in all Rambler and steel body Studebakers, and the high-market Cadillacs, not available on Plymouths? What about disc brakes, standard on the Studebaker Avanti, available on all Studebaker models?

My first car was a '61 Belvedere (in 1968)..my current summer car is a '69 Fury..a host of Dodges, Chryslers, Imperials and Plymouths in between (newest was a '74 Fury)..just found this channel..keep this good stuff coming..

My grandfathers 3/4 ton international pickup had an ole 383, it was a work horse.

Then came the max wedge 426 I have two friends they both have 426 wedge sport fury’s both are standard nand are almost finned can’t wait to see them I’ve seen the painted not all the trim

IT is very interesting to watch these dealer promotional films. I am shocked how stupid people were at that time to buy what the salesman was pitching, but I am more shocked at how cynical and contemptuous the salesman was toward his customer.

Chrysler screwed up, they had mistakenly thought Ford & GM were down sizing their cars in 1962 so they down sized their cars, only to find out Ford & GM kept their full size models. Actually the "full size" Plymouth & Dodge cars were really intermediates after '62. In '65 Chrysler came out with full size cars the Plymouth Fury & Dodge Polara. The reason this film was used was to train their sales people to "Sell what we got" until the big cars became available. In 1965 The intermediate Plymouth became the "Satellite" & the Dodge intermediate was the "Coronet" They actually were the former full size cars restyled and marketed as "intermediates".

My Parents had 56 Dodge with a 331 , then they went to Chevys , Me ? I've had a bunch of Mopars.. And loved every one of them , my first was a 71 Charger R/T 440 , Four speed.. My second was a 71 Dodge Dart Swinger 340 fourbarrel , Four speed, my next Car was a 68 Plymouth GTX with a 440 automatic.. Then I've had Chevys and Ford's , now my Daily Driver is a 2016 Ram 1500 Big Horn with a 5.7 Litre Hemi.

Plymouth had the engines but they didn't yet have the looks to go with them, that would happen in a few years.

In 64, my dad went with a red on red sport fury hardtop with a max wedge. Drove it until the big block vetted came out, then he switched to a vette.

Belvedere im sold on it..

What does the "B.O.P.s" stand for? Thanks.

My Dad was a Plymouth guy most of his life. The cars I can remember were a 1949 two tone green 4 door. 1953 grey two door Cranbrook or Savoy. 1956 two door two tone green Belvedere with Power Flight and V-8. 1962 Fury white 2 door with Torque Flight and 318 (car stolen). 1963 Fury white 2 door with Torque Flight and 318. 1965 Fury III two door white with 383 4 Barrel (Dad did not know much about engines and economy. He thought a V-8 was a V-8. He was always commenting how the 1963 had better gas mileage... Hehe. I encouraged him on that purchase). 1968 Satellite with 318 2 Barrel. His last car before passing away was a 1970 Fury III with 318. He was a Plymouth man from 1949 to his passing in 1975. He was thinking on getting a 1975 Fury when he passed away in his sleep. For him, there was nothing else as far as cars go than a Plymouth I did try to convince him to buy a more comfortable Chrysler Newport or New Yorker but he said it was too big for him. I imagine if he was still here in 1990, his last Plymouth would have been the 1989 Gran Fury. I really enjoy these Chrysler bulletins and advertisements for their salesmen. Thanks for posting these things.

I test drove a unusual Savoy. I stopped at the Plymouth dealer in Augusta, GA to look at a '66 GTO light yellow, black vinyl top, all black and chrome inside. Sitting next to it was '64 Savoy, very plain brown, very plain inside except for the Hurst 4-speed shifter. I had to look under hood. That car had a race hemi motor. Cross ram intake, 2 4-bbl carbs. Price in 1967-$2400. Drove it around the block, it was a hand full very very hard not to spin the rear tires. Went back and bought the GTO which was also $2400. If I only knew then what I know now.......................

I can't wait 'til the 2020 STRIPPOS come out in September.

4:32 i HATE dealers who insist on coming along with the test drive. I like to have the car to myself without them talking/selling to me. Or maybe I want to stop by a different dealer and compare side by side

I have liked vintage Chrysler/Mopar cars for many years. I like the '64 Savoy for something nice in an economy intermediate, but it is the '68 Fury family that captured the most attention for styling. I like most of the '68 Ford, GM and Chrysler cars mostly for styling.

loved my valiants, but Buick really had it going on!

Whatever we do as manufacturers, do not not place high performance V8 ,4 barrel engines with 4 wheel drum brakes and one finger power steering .

The film said Rambler had the compact field all to themselves. Seem to me they forgot about the Studebaker Lark.

I owned a beautiful 64 red 2 door Belvedere.

My dad had a Dodge Polaria 500 two door with a 383 4 barrel great car

Older Chrysler products were inventive for the time. BUT, I can't think of the last time I saw an older Chrysler/Dodge/Plymouth on the road. While you frequently see classic Chevy and Ford vehicles. Were they less reliable or did they sell less?

Yeah well, when you don't have a competitive full size... sell it against the intermediates. Plymouth/Dodge downsized 62's were a disaster in the showrooms and they spent the next two model years adding inches before they could finally come up with a real full size in 1965.

Nice

Valiant, aka why Chrysler ended up needing a bailout in 1979

I just love these old muscle cars I have owned a few of them!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Joe is no more than a cartoon character, just as Plymouth’s intermediate car is no more than a cartoon character existing on paper only...maybe.

Also in '64 the Mercury Comet was slightly longer than the Falcon and shorter than the Fairlane. The Meteor was discontinued by 1964.

great video!!!

I don't understand why they insisted on calling a the 1964 Plymouth B body a full size in this piece. It was most definitely a mid size car. Plymouth just did not have a full size in that year unlike Chrysler and Dodge. In 65, Plymouth did have a full size C body in the Fury model. Yet, a 65 Belvedere was then a mid size, even though it was the exact same size and shape as a 64 Belvedere.

Hmmm, Sure is odd that this so called "Joe" Sounds like the Narrator changing his voice. One must wonder whatever happened to Joe? Well, Joe worked his way up to manager. As the energy crisis took hold in the 70's and Big heavy , high horse power cars were not selling. Joe had purchased a very large house. His wife was pregnant with their 3rd child. The stress was terrible. Joe started drinking. At first just at night. Then at night but all weekend. Then Joe decided to put a little weekend in this week. Eventually Joe found it harder to even show up for work. Joe then started using Cocaine to get past the hangovers. Joe's weight started to skyrocket and he was up to half a carton a day. When Carter won the election Joe took off in a customers Dart, in a drunken rage and hopped up on Nicotine Joe totally lost it. He drove that Dart like a dart. After a 30 mile chase Joe was captured and arrested. Joe stayed Angry for a long time and this eventually landed him in the mental hospital. Joe had grown up in the business. Joe Fury was not just an employee he was the company. His father had started from the bottom and worked his way into chief of design. That was where his father named a car after Joe. ..................And now you know...............The rest of the story.

Sounds like Johnny Carson.

Mopar or no car !!

What does a guy want in a car? How about a fishbowl rear window?

Selling against the intermediates.

Those pesky "BOP+"🤣🤣

The best part is you get a hood ornament to look at while driving down boring roads.
