Whoa Nelley, part 2 and more Mopar for you... Coronet appears to be a 1967 model with the VIN (barely) getting us the win: W for Coronet, P for Premium price class, 41 for four door sedan, F for 318 V8 with two barrel, 7 for 1967 model year, 7 for Fenton, MO (St. Louis) assembly and the rest is the production sequence. We got the tag, we can brag in no order: Lower case 'h" of 7 should be fender mounted turn signal indicators, QQ1 For Dark Ruby Red Metallic exterior paint, P1X for Black premium grade interior, capital A of 1 for 26" radiator, capital R of 1 for AM radio, capital S of 1 for AC, capital X of 1 for tinted glass, all windows, AX of 2 for 2.94:1 rear axle ratio, WP41 for Coronet 500 four door sedan, the last line denotes a three speed automatic transmission, the 318 V8 with two barrel, a build date of possibly November 18, 1966 (a Friday). The cows are telling you to "moooooooove" along. After all, some of their ancestors became seat covers.....I heard one of them moo. You may have to edit out that out as the "muuuuuuuuuuuuuuuusic" is copyrighted. LOL. Some of the Chryslers are harder (but of course not impossible) to tell the years by the VINs as they used a body number which many confuse for a VIN # (before the 1960s or so, VIN numbers were not really standard/in use, so other numbers were used for titling and registration), and also Briggs made bodies for Chrysler for a number of years. But, the information is out there, you have to dig for it. The only GM I can think of that had rear AC may have been a limo conversion with it added by the upfitter and some Cadillac models as others noted. I never found that you were out of line with the way you opened a door or hood or trunk. You realize that they have been sitting for years and it takes some "finesse" to open them at times without causing damage to parts that can be saved. I don't know what that guy is talking about/getting to with that. 1955 Imperial, VIN gets us the win: C55 for 1955 Imperial and the rest is the production sequence. 1955 was the first year the Imperial was considered a separate brand of Chrysler. It would technically be this way until 1983. The 1955 models would be assembled at the Jefferson Ave plant in Detroit. In 1991, Chrysler opened up "Jefferson North" adjacent to the original plant. This still operates today and is the only remaining plant to exist in Detroit proper. Possible code #246-58618 Desert Sand exterior paint. Dart GT: Hard to make out the VIN, it was tough at the angle that you provided, 1st digit is hard to read, but possible 2 for Dart six cylinder, then 4 for Dart GT, 5 for 1965 model year, 7 for St. Louis, MO assembly and the rest is the production sequence. Possible code P for Bright Red exterior paint or code T for Ruby Red exterior paint. 1964 New Yorker, hard to read the VIN, so only a partial win: 8 for Chrysler, 3 for New Yorker, 4 for 1964 model year, 3 for Jefferson Assembly, Detroit, MI and the rest is the production sequence. Most mechanics and service station personnel would open the hood the traditional way I would believe. Snapple was founded in 1972 in Valley Stream (Long Island), NY. I would have used some the Chryslers for target practice, but that's me...LOL. Yes, Dodge Trucks were known as "Job Rated". Weren't you in the "Future Farmers" club in school? LOL. Whoa Nelley, part 2 and that's it for you. You got the VIN (on some) and we win. The tag gets us the brag. When you don't, as always, the Google Man is sad. GMs took a shot and that's all that they got. They were all once new, now they smell like mildew. Hopefully not going to be flat or that will be that. Please don't get squished, way too much good stuff here, and we'll all be pissed.
…incredible collection of vintage mid 20th century 50’s and 60’s Chrysler Corporation makes and models …considerable number of them being high end Imperials …also seeing some rarely seen, highly optioned Dodge , DeSoto and Plymouth deluxe models ….lots of Hemi V-8’s sitting in that open air museum of Chrysler makes and models …you are / were very lucky Benny to be able to walk and enjoy firsthand that Vintage Chrysler Field of Faded Glory Road Dreams …👍5✨’s …thank you Benny / CRS for sharing + showing 👍🙂
Well, I just hope that it isn't some old dude who wants to hang onto that stuff until he passes. There are a lot of deserving people who would love to put that stuff back on the road where it should be!
If there were snakes and such, it does make sense about signing a waiver...and God forbid if you get trampled by some cows...or worse yet, throwing your back out after skidding on a cow pie...LOL 🤣 ....Anyway, talk about a car paradise there! Love this series and can't wait for the third part. Your videos are not only entertaining, but very relaxing. You're like the car whisperer...and you can be touchy-feely *ALL YOU WANT!* You show care for these classics and to borrow from Aretha, *R E S P E C T!* 🎶😉 ....Bet that '57 Plymouth goes for a fair chunk of 💸💰 ...a Christine in the making! Glad that many of them will be someone's project and you're right, Benny, we do not get a chance to see a collection like this very often....let alone a Mopar one. Thanks for showing these beauts to us, as we live vicariously through you...plus, you still have that kid at heart. Don't ever lose that. Cheers until Part 3! 😎👍
3:22 Those 55 Chrysler 300 use to be NASCAR circuit racing against Chevy BelAir & Ford Fairlane did very well in 55 & 56 too Tim Flock drove them back in mid 50s.

the cars kissed from the sun like the people. 😁😊 i like. theses cars could tell us lots of histories. 😚 the older cars are prettier than the cars from the today. i think in texas i couldt live -- always the sun. 🤤🤤🤗 greetings from germany bavaria😔😒
I'm an Olds guy, but I've also always liked Mopars,ever since my younger days when I had a '71 Fury I 'Trooper Car' with a 440. Plus my late father had a '73 D-100 Adventurer Sport for many years. Lots of interesting stuff he had out there,sure did like those Imperials!! (Which I consider as a 'Car people have forgotten about"?) And that 'shorty' Lancer wagon....someone really needs to bring that back to life!
Man you are a rock star in your field! be like dude on internet sells dirt from his track you could sale dirt from salvage yard or rust off cars LOL great video man
At 9:21 into this particular video, is that 1958 Plymouth Fury Coupe ?, I am not 100 % sure. As I am not in anyway knowledgeable in regards to mopar. A great old Collection of classic American cars, it must be the climate out in Texas, Yes most of the cars look sunbaked, with a very little surface rust, but not serious body rot. If restoring classics is your thing this area of America seems like a good place to start looking. Many thanks, To Classic Ride Society’s Benny for going to such lengths, to bring these great video’s, to us all. Manchester, England. 👍.
@@paulpalmtree9295 well it probably never saw road salt. 1957s in particular had some poor quality control in early production and were known for rust, up here in the north the rear portion of the frame would rot out.
@@CR7659 So I guess, there’s a better or more worthy cars to restore, than this particular one.....way back in 1975, as I walked to and from school, parked on the driveway of just two homes, were three amazing looking American cars, a 1960 Dodge Coronet sedan, a 1961 Chrysler New Yorker sedan, and a 1961/62 Ford Galaxy sedan, I left school in 1976, and within about 18 months all the cars disappeared, and I haven’t seen any around since. I was just hoping to see, at least one of these cars in this video, it would bring back some very happy memories. Over here in Manchester, England, well we just don’t see these wonderful cars on our roads.
@@paulpalmtree9295 You see a couple '61-'62 Chryslers in the first video. One is an ambulance, it shows in the background in this one too, to the right of the boat.
G,m, with front and rear air in the 62 era was the cadillac sixty special and above, the light blue car you liked the taillights on and commented about the rear air, was more expensive than the cadillacs, 1955 thru 1963 are virgil exner design team cars, and ALL had funky cool styling, that shortened wagon and regular wagon were his too, But someone did a cool job shortening that one, the emblazoned tire on the trunks was called the " flight sweep" decklid, all of the exner series imperials were hand built, not on an assembly line, designed to be "the safest car made in america" many were later BANNED from crash derby's, because you could not smash them, and one could last and dominate at least ten derbys before hitting something vital, this video, and the other is too cool
Yes,on the Fleetwoods. Limos especially. Thought once about retrofitting my '72 Ninety Eight with that (I found a complete unit in a '74 Limo at a local yard) but didn't,that second unit goes in the trunk about where the spare tire would go.
About 9:00 you're looking at a 1960 Imperial. My buddy had one in his yard that we parted out. Here in New York that car rotted so bad that when you opened the trunk there was nothing, just the leaf springs poking out, no frame, no floors. And it's not the first Mopar of that era I've seen that way. I did save the rear quarters off it, maybe somebody would want the fins for something. Almost anything else left any good we sold. In fact, its kind of funny I had a '57 Plymouth (the next car you look at) later and that car sat in the junkyard with the back end partly on top of another car, so the frame in it wasn't too awful bad. But it was still too bad for people to build, I sold it and the turkey just stripped a bunch of parts off it and left it. That one I did end up selling the doors and upper quarters to a guy who was going to convert a sedan to a hardtop. Kind of wild that one 55 Imperial is pink outside but has a two tone blue interior
Those were used to smooth out blacktop highways, streets & roadways. I remember seeing these growing up in the 70's & on, I don't remember when I last saw one.
Unrestored in their original resting place is the best way to see classic cars. I want to buy them the same way. Original, relatively unmolested, dirty, rust optional, faded paint. Honest. You know what you’re getting.
This is definitely the best way to buy them. When they haven't really been messed with. And yep Archie, rare to see and a collection this size of any Classics that are relatively untouched for the most part. Yea you can find much bigger amounts of them but theyre gonna be in a salvage yard where they're been picked over. This guy was a collector(some would classify hoarder) from what I was told he wouldn't sell anything
Sir can I hang out with yea 🤔 /u fine the best classic 🚗 every were /u are classic guy 👦👌😀/ fine back in the days auto's deals /keep it up sir /be safe
