This was my second car ever. I was all of 17 or 18. It was a boat and we could get so many people in it to go out on Saturday nights. It was so different from most cars, push button transmission, rectangular steering wheel, dash mounted rear view mirror and of course the swivel seats in front. Wound up having to sell it after I was drafted but some really great memories with friends and my girlfriend (now my wife).
Wow you're about as old as Trump ...
What an awesome story! Cars today just suck so much! I can't imagine having such amazing machines available as the norm. No one's going to say such things about the cars I grew up around.
@@lliamjurdom9505 wtf does Trump have to do with his story? Get over it.
That dash and steering wheel are an Atomic Age dream come true.
Beautiful car and oh how nice people dressed back then I long for those days
So many incredible details from bumper to bumper. The steering wheel truly is a mid century work of art.
I agree!
Coolest steering wheel ever made!!
Love those big, fender mounted rearview mirrors. The two tone interior was beautiful.
I'm sold - I want one, in that exact color!
Love it! Can just see the Plymouth people; "we know that fins are dead, let's talk them up by claiming they have a practical benefit!"
You got that right! Plymouth was dragging until the 1963 Hemi Wedge.
They weren't completely dead yet. Look at the 1960 Chevy, Buick, and, of course, the 1960 Cadillac. Toned down from 59, but far from dead.
@@michaelbenardo5695 true, that. Of course, the two-year design to production cycle was a problem in that regard.
I would proudly own AND drive this Car over ANY Car built today!💕💕💕
My love for cars started at an early age .... with an Aunt who lived and breathed Buicks .... and a Green and White 1960 Plymouth Fury 4 door Hardtop that was parked in my neighbor"s driveway for the first ten years of my life. When they traded it in on a new Valiant 4 door sedan in 1972, I was heartbroken.
My neighbor's Dad also talked about how his Mom loved them Buick Electrics!
Born in 1963, uff, love all those cars I've never got to experience. Swivel seats? Why can't we have that that shit nowadays?
It will be so nice to go back in time Back when our country was great and our government wasn’t so criminal the American way of life is surely gone it’s very sad
Scott and the Agents approve.
WOW! Like a tank. I liked her swivel seat.
Lovely definitely something Scott and the Agents will appreciate @ColdWarMotors.
Exactly
Good to see fellow fans!
My parents had a 1960 Plymouth coup when I was a young child. It was white with turquoise interior. I remember the tailfins & pushbutton on the dash transmission selector. Loved that car
Cars were distinctly different back then, more a work of art than they are now. Love the music that was used with the ad. And the way people used to dress
There was very few, if any, safety or emission standards in 1960. So the stylists “ran the show”. Those tailfins are totally GIGANTIC! I’m surprised most sources say the 1959 Cadillac had larger tailfins compared to this. 👍😎👍🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
@@jjojo2004 the 59 Cadillac did have huge fins. There were a number of cars in that period that had large fins, but I think the 59 Cadillac had the tallest
@@jjojo2004 These fins were so thick!
David King Cadillac began all tailfins in 1948, so naturally they had to ultimately produce the tallest ones
@@davidpar2 yes, that is true, Cadillac did begin the tail fin design with the 1948 models. And it does make sense that Cadillac would have to have the tallest fins
Could someone hurry up and build a time machine .
Thank you for sharing. :) That two-tone green/white, pillarless, sedan is gorgeous!
My Dad had a 1960 Plymouth station wagon, it was a beautiful medium blue and
had a lot of interior space (enough for 9 people!). I remember that we drove it to
a local lake every Saturday during the summer months -- Fun and happy days!
However, he brakes were noisy/squeaky. The neighbors 1960 Plymouth station
wagon (solid green tone as in the ad) had the same problem. Nevertheless it
was not Dad's last MOPAR vehicle.
The 1960 Fury is my favourite American car. Amazing mid-century lines in and out with lovely little details everywhere. Such a shame they are almost non-existent this side of the Atlantic so I'll probably never see one in flesh, let alone own one. Thanks for uploading!
Bumper 3D I can see one everyday there's a yellow and white Fury convertible with Red interior that sits on my Shelf everyday in 1-18 ⚖ made by Sunstar!. Next to a 1958 Plymouth Fury and a 1967 Plymouth GTX All 1-18 scale!.
What struck me is that it was "in the low price field." It looks like a luxury car to me.
That was the main idea with Dodges/Plymouths, Chrysler Consumers wanted a full-size Luxury automobile but didn't want to pay top dollar, like the GM Cadillac's counterparts.
Looks like it could fly!👍👍😎🇺🇸
Virgil Exner is the king!! Thanks for this video.
I'd buy that for a fin.
It must have been weird, if you were one of the few people with color TV's in 1960, that 3/4ths of the shows were still B&W but the commercials were in color.
Superior quality back then. I remember when the cars from the 1950s and the 1960s were new. What a great time back then.
Clothing and music, as well
Except the 1957 cars ruined Chrysler corps' reputation for quality with all the problems they had, which is a shame since the '57-'58 Plymouths are my favorite. I really wish they had given their development the proper time needed to work all the kinks out instead of rushing into production. Exner's designs deserved better.
Oh boy, wait till Scott N. sees this one!
Ahhh, the good old days - when a gentleman would open the car door for a lady, AND back when most ladies deserved to be treated in that manner!
@@hartfordsignpost589 The ones that would reach over & pull up the lock button for me got serious consideration!
Right, when a woman is obese and wearing stretch/sweat pants and no makeup should be opening the door herself! That's the norm today in America, about 70% have no self dignity, back in these days women were beautiful and elegant, we treated them like queens because they were, now 🤮
Gramps was being polite to his new young lover.
Now a days most ladies only deserve to see the back seat
Y'all are some gross pigs, yo.
I LOVE IT!!!!!!!!! Thank you so much for uploading this. The 1960 Plymouth is one of my all time favorite cars! I have never been able to find any commercial or promo film for it, until now.
man does that look good...great colors...usually i'm all about the 2door hardtop, but the forward look Mopar 4doors really look good. who wouldn't be a smiling Bob sitting behind a sparkly square steering wheel?
Eight seconds just to go from the left door to the right door! Amazing huge four-wheel ship!
Amazing!! My Dad had one and we enjoyed big time, several trips all over México!! Actually that was the first car I ever drove!! I loved it!!!
Thanks so much for this one boss! What a cool commercial. My buddy Details Dave said Bill Bixby was the guy modelling the car in the brochures; I wonder if that is him in this ad? Apparently they did his hair grey to make him look a bit older. Anyway, thanks as always for all the valuable work you do saving these old ads! Cheers from me and the Menace Dog!
Thanks Scott, I was wondering when you were going to see this! This ad has done well with hits....I'm going to have to get my glasses out to look closely at the Guy, he's got the right height and build to be Bill Bixby for sure.....Keep up the good work on the T and Fury and Citreon....that Rover is looking great, can't wait to see it finished!!
I wouldn't wanna be on the receiving end of one of those pointy tail fins in a traffic collision.
“Stabilizer fins” 🤪
Nice job at cleaning this one up. Sure beats watching those old kinescopes !
Considering how red this was with decolorization, I was pretty happy with the result.
@@OsbornTramain Which software did you use?
No software no computers no computer chips let’s turn the clock back to win cause were built without insanity
Beautiful car. This was the time when people bought the car they could afford, not leasing a Cadillac on a Chevrolet income. Cars back then were distinct, works of art. All the car makers didn't pick the same basic design, then just make some tiny changes and call it 'new'.
Holycrow I was a whopping 2 yrs old. Bring back the duraquiet unibody!
Last gasp of the 1950's tail fin mania. But it really does look sharp compared to the sterile designs of most modern cars.
My ugly finless honda product doesnt experience any vibrations from semi's. I still like tailfins though.
Always thought the speedometer depicted here was the coolest, no needle!
Beautiful car!.👍
I have several Forward Look cars. For the 1960 Plymouth there was also a round “aero” glitter wheel for cars with manual steering.
If you think the dash is wild looking on the Plymouth,check out the dash on the Dodge.
Yes, this looks terrific. Thank you!
I don't remember seeing any of these 'Long Version' commercials (no matter who the maker), they certainly didn't play on local TV - local TV was all we had back then
all metal no plastic crap back then beautiful designs 50's n 60's classic cars just like cars n everything else they had their era times !!!
Damn....that's one mean lookin front end!
Now THATS a CAR!
People sure did dress nice and speak clearly back then.
Amen
Mopar was always ahead with engineering. Practical and no-nonsense. Swivel seat...wow! Funny how Oldsmobile tried to capitalize on that in the 70s on the Cutlass. Plymouth was like been there done that. We'll just keep making better cars.
Solid Plymouth for 1960 🙂🎺
My uncle had a 1960 Plymouth, and it was green.
I love that tape-style speedometer!
I love that they're alone on the road.
I love those old Mopars!
Thank you So much for your wonderful, and very interesting channel. I love your content. Thanks again.
My daddy could afford a Dinky Plymouth Plaza Taxi . . . wish I still had it fins and all! 🌿🦊🌿
These old cars have character, unlike the bland sameness of recent ones.
Now they all look like jellybeans.
What fascinates me is the end- look how "primitive" that highway is. It was literally just a paved road. No road markers, lane dividers, guard rails, signs (of any kind) or billboards/advertisements. Obviously those things existed in various places in the country, but at the time of filming- that particular part of highway was simply a flat road and nothing else.
Perhaps it was a new stretch of road that wasn't opened to the public yet?
you can still find roads like that in the real rual parts of the USA. If watch a film from the 1930's or 1940's where vehicles are on a road, it's the same way. No signs, no gaurd rails..some times you see the cement white posts with cables from on to the next for protection. That's how it was when I was a kid.
@@OsbornTramain Indeed. I grew up in a small city but thankfully, now I live in a fairly rural area in the NE US and see lots of natural beauty on drives along highways with relatively few signs/ads ect. But ultimately I guess I'm just nostalgic for that level of simplicity everywhere in the US back in those days.
Thank you for this video. You continue to make the most interesting and informative of these Great old ads. Thanks again May you be blessed.
You're welcome and it's my pleasure. I think the historical commercials provide more correct information than any of those Classic Car blog sites or web pages that always seem to get it wrong.
She's a real sweetie, and the lady was pretty nice too!
Thanking you for uploading, those where the days
Dad did you see that car it’s looks so solid! ( kid)
James darling, I think that should be our next car there’s just something about it.
It looks so solid my father would say.( wife)
Your father knows what his talking about.
Cheers 🇨🇦
Very Very Very cool!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I learned to drive on a 1960 Plymouth!
My dad had a 1960 Olds 88.
I'll take it, wrap it up
Yes, the fins were added for greater road stability. But at what speed would you have to get that 5 ton killing machine up to for the wind to have any effect? Pretty sure that soft boaty ride never knew those fins existed. Still, it’d be great to have one in that condition today. That’s sooooo much car.
That would all make sense if any of your facts were correct. it's only 3400 pounds, hardly 10 thousand pounds as you suggested....and not a soft ride, it's a Mopar product with a stiff ride, torsion bars suspension, it's not a Ford or a GM car which would have had a soft ride. Unibody like a BMW or Mercedes has a stiff ride, that's why people don't like unit body in large cars.
@@OsbornTramain wow. Somebody is critical. For the record, there’s a lot of tongue and cheek in my comments. And I’m a MOPAR fan having several over many decades but, what ever you say.
well I'm sold!
Wow, just wow!
I always thought that the large fins on the cars of that era were purely styling gimmicks. I learned from this video that they were marketed as “stabilizers”. I suppose with those old land yachts with sloppy steering feel that was truly a necessity. (tongue in cheek)
First stick I drove. 3 speed on the tree. I was 9 or 10 my older brother dumped the clutch with the engine roaring almost wrecked. So Grandma Brown gave me the job. If she got sick I would drive her to the main road wave down help and stay with the car. Did not have to be told what punishment was coming if I did anything else with the car.
Época de Oro que no vuelve más.
Did Chrysler's trademark on the word "Unibody" ever formally get voided in court?
They weren't the first to use unit body in the USA. Nash began using it on all it's vehicles in 1948. I think the term is generic.
@@OsbornTramain I agree, I think it became generic the same as use of the term "posi-trac".
@@OsbornTramain Nash "Airflyte" Construction?
I'll have one with all the options, thank you.
Wow! It's very Googie in style. I want one.
I’m sold! Where can I get one?
Fins for stability! I love it.
Nice, would love to have that film in my collection. Don’t let anyone know but I am a mopar guy. It might upset the viewers on my channel.
I'll keep that secret! I like to say I love all cars....clearly, Chrysler, AMC and Studebakers are my favorite, but, My family also owned as well as my self...Buick and Chevy too. All my everyday cars today are GM/Chevy........but my posts are mosly Mopar.
Very cool.
I want one.
Those Plymouths looked like they were a mile long for a full size car in 60
That’s a helluva dash and steering wheel. The swivel seat is neat too, but I foresee wear and breakage.
I agree, but I foresee looseness if lubrication on the seat frame wasn't kept up with. You might find it interesting that my first car was an old 1964 Chrysler New Yorker. And that had the same shape steering wheel. Though a toned-down version from the one here with its sections of sparkle embedded translucence, and Googie atomic center design. "Googie" is really a thing. Look up: 1950's-1960's Googie or Googie atomic design.
@@discerningmind I know all about Googie.
@@ArmpitStudios I wanted to mention something positive about Googie in case you didn't know what it was. I didn't want to chance hurting your feelings. And yes, that IS a magnificent steering wheel!
The "Duraquiet Unibody " was a response to complaints about the 1957thru 1959 cars of all Chrysler divisions with the exception of Imperial of rattles ,squeaks and rust issues.
How do you know that? Changing a production line doesn't just happen over night....designing the car and aligning it with the Production equipment is an Art. I highly doubt your claim and wonder where it comes from? The 60 models would have already been in development before the 1957 models even hit the streets. Plymouth was using Unit body in Fall of 1959 for the Valiant.
Nice car, but I'm left wondering "Is this car Solid?"...
NEARLY AS GOOD AS SCOTT,S ATCOLD WAR MOTORS!!!
Die Hochwasserhose von dem Knilch!

Awesome
I always though the 1960 Plymouth was one swell looking car. Strange how many didn't like it. Too bad they changed their mind and didn't badge the Fury hardtops and convertibles as Sport Furys, as they were a cut above the Fury sedans and 4 door hardtops. The "regular" convertible should have been a Belvedere, just like in 59.
Eccentric Exner design seen in this car.
Solid. Faint praise indeed.
Wow! 👍
Plymouth fell so hard in the 60s 😔
what do you mean? They were the 3rd best selling brand in 1960 behind Ford and Chevy like always....they moved down in 1961 and 1962. In 1962 they were ranked 8th but the remainder of the decade, they were 4th or 3rd best just like the 1950's, Always a close competition between Buick and Pontiac for third place......3rd again in 1970. One bad year was it? How is that "so hard"? en.wikipedia.org/wiki/U.S._Automobile_Production_Figures
It's amazing how things used to be cool, and now they all suck.
Lets go for a ride to the countryside. I'll put on my three piece SUTE.
That's how people dressed then, all thru the 1960's
Interesting that the fins are described as adding stability while driving. Never heard them described that way before.
The way he keeps saying "solid" makes me think maybe it's not so solid.
The tailfins add to the stability...
Did we mentioned it’s solid?
And in that very colour sceme in the video.
I was born in 1960.
