- 1956 Buick Centurion & 1954 Plymouth Explorer
There is so much to discover on Earth. Animals, criminals, space, science… There is so much going on that we can’t comprehend. What criminals are thinking, what processes does a science branch go through, depth of the space our world is in, how do stars, the earth and everything that ever existed come to being? Were you ever curious about this stuff?
You can learn all of it by plain perspective documentaries, shining a light on criminal psychology, natural wonders and everything about life.
Documentaries which will bend your mind and make you feel small on this earth to achieve a different perspective.

Absolutely LOVE the old school autos...style and expression...those days are sorely missed...creativity.
I hear an echo very distracting to have the narrative repeated on a 10 second delay at a lower audio level..
They need to tone the music down so I can hear the narration better...
Edit; thank you to whomever liked my reply/post...I appreciated it....and Merry Christmas 2022
Yep good video, that audio echo is annoying.
Definitely, the ECHO is a fail!
Doesn't anyone watch their video before posting it?
I would think the echo would be an easy fix
@@mgman6000 The echo is deliberate, an attempt to add style, but it failed
Wow it doesn’t take too much imagination to see design ideas for the production 1959 Buicks originating in this 1956 Centurion. Even the lines of the two tone paint scheme echo a red and white “spring” color treatment that was offered to freshen up the production 1959 Buicks. Great video.
Great video except for the ghost audio that plays at reduced volume with a 7-10 second delay behind the first broadcast
For me the1950's and especially 1960's auto's had the greatest looking interiors offered with the best colors ever. Powder Blue, Black, Red, White, Green, So Beautiful.
Yes, and into the 1970s as well. There's an excellent book called Glamour Road that I recommend highly.
It doesn't matter if it was cars, Harley's or home appliances , America will never see another era with so much style!
Beautiful epoch!
What a wonderful time in America it was.
No longer, young friend.
... just as long as you weren't black living under Jim Crow laws or preaching the communist manifesto.... also living under the shadow of the atomic bomb with your Dad in Korean wasn't fun either...
In terms of a decade, the music in muliple American genres, also reflected an incredibly creative period, possibly without peer.
Great video. Love automotive history. The Plymouth Explorer is a stunning automobile.
All concepts & prototypes look intentionally exaggerated but still are amazingly detailed, unique developed to show us the crazyness from that era.. in same period in Italy, Alfa Romeo had something similar in work called Alfa Romeo BAT prototypes... Anyway i'm a big fan of old automobile history and BTW i'm European..
@@poplaurentiu4148 - The BAT Alfas are awesome! I collect 1:18 scale cars and recently bought three.
I never understood why concept cars were routinely destroyed.
Agree. How about never going into production? Some of the Cadillac & Buick concept cars within the last 10 years are amazing. BUT GM does their market research with the old customer and dealers that can't break away.
lawsuit possibilities
Who else has their nose into everything....Lawyers ! they're the ruination of the world!
@@MELLIEbevhills
That is nonsense.
The concept cars do not meet regulatory standards and are effectively impossible to manufacture.
Modern concept cars are in effect showing what auto companies could do if they were not hemmed in by regulations.
What you do not think older customers want nice looking cars as well? Those older customers would have had far more daring cars years ago than what buyers have today.
@bighand69 It's the destruction of art.
The Plymouth was really a good looking car
I see some styling elements of the Plymouth Explorer that inspired the VW Karmann Ghia, also designed by the Italian firm.
nothing like the F88 olds concept
Love the cars, that Plymouth would be awesome on the open road. The choice of paint was perfect. But I keep hearing a second soundtrack in the background. It was very distracting.
I don't like to criticize other people's work, but I agree with others about the audio. Also, the intro was waaay too long IMO with all that space race type stock footage. I found myself thinking "Alright, already. Get on with it!" You don't actually start talking about the car until 4:38 into the video.
It's 3years younger than me but what a work of art.
Nothing but COOL...!!!
I grew up riding in a '56 Buick Special (2-tone green). ...still miss that car.
Nice.
The Centurion was Garish , Impractical and quite frankly rather Uncouth . The Explorer was Beautiful and ELEGANT as F .
The Centurion was MUCH better looking than the Plymouth Explorer. Are you insane ?
@@ricktaylor3748 . Garish Concept car THAT DIDN'T EVEN DRIVE , for want of a Fuel Tank .
@@ricktaylor3748 - Both cars are amazing, each in it's own way. The flamboyant GM concepts like this Buick are very cool; the restrained elegance of this Plymouth and the other Ghia designs created for Chrysler are also unmatched.
Love it❤
Dad had a couple old Buicks, Century, 2dr & a 58 Special wagon. the concept car has desogn features that carried out in later production like side trim & fender lines, the circle V showed up as fender trim on our wagon , it reminded me of gunsights.
But I always liked the front fender fake exhaust ports like an aircraft.
The echo is horrible
Thanks to Joe Bortz & Co. many of the concept cars were found and restored.......The list is long.......The 54 Explorer was a companion car to the Dodge FireArrow III (also still around)
I wasn't around in 1956 , however I had gone to every Chicago auto show since 1967 , I will never forget the 1967 Olsmobile Toronado , and the 1974 Buick Riveria, I don't go to the auto show anymore because in my opinion there's nothing to see, a lot of Korean and Japanese cars which all look the same,
Wow what a car what a Batmobile this would have made!
We saw the taillights from the Centurion on the 1960 Cadillacs...
The rear end "eyebrow" fins of the Centurion found their way onto the 1959-1960 Buicks.
The Fallout 3 and 4 videogames used very much this aesthetic of 50s concept cars with the "nuclear powered" cars that you can see in wreckage but aren't allowed to drive. The swoopy themes, the glass cockpits, the fins, and the size are all replicated in the game. Alas, these days we don't have such aspirations.
I remember seeing it in gold. Beautiful car.
No gas tank? Apparently, Buick wasn't planning on manufacturing this car to the public. Like the narrator said, the production vehicle was a different design (including a gas tank). The blue "driving coat" the model holding the small dog is wearing looks like a maternity garment. I wonder if the idea of car coat made it very far? I vaguely remember a car coat as being shorter and roomier than a regular coat, but as a kid during that time, I didn't have one.
During a competition between the GM divisions to produce a 2 seat sports car, which eventually became the Corvette, the Buick Motor Division produced the Buick Wildcat. The last time I saw the car, in about 1978, it was stored in the basement of the Sloan Museum in Flint, Michigan. It was awesome. Too bad it's faded into obscurity.
The Buick Wildcat is beautifully displayed in the new Sloan Museum of Discovery's new 11,000 square foot Durant Vehicle Gallery!
@@annemancour8810 That is wonderful news. Thank you for sharing. Would you be related to Gordon Mancour?
@@dhyde9207 I am! A great uncle.
I have to say one of my favorite cars was our 58 special two-door 364 V8 automatic load leveler AM radio was Wonder bar Plus the button next to the dimmer switch on the floor.
The Buick Centurion is much like the Citroen DS and Studebaker of 1953.....Way ahead of it time.....The Buick looks modern even today.......
I liked the show, but the audio was terrible. Whatever was said, was repeated several seconds later. All said, I liked the Plymouth Explorer. It reminded me of our 1961 Dodge Polara in body shape.
Bring her back into production. Bring back the Buick Centurion. 3D printed carbon fiber.
Some ideas from 60 -s (dezigne) are actuality today too .
A modern Buick Centurion would have a plastic roof and would be electric.
"Bang, Zoom...you're going to the Moon❗️" 🌚
The sound production guy was high af 😂
The audio is horrible and irritating. These beautiful cars deserve better.
Plymouth head and shoulders above the Buick.
Agreed, although both are fantastic. I admire Chrysler for working with Ghia - together they created several concept car masterpieces.
Hey Docuworld, fix your audio. There’s a second, delayed audio stream playing in the background.
Of course, this raises the question, What happened to the car industry? Now every manufacturer just makes the same ugly SUV year after year. I had hoped it was only going to be the greedy American corporations that went that route but I threw up my hands in surrender (and disgust) when the Asians and Europeans followed suit. Creativity has become a relic in the face of corporate and shareholder profits.
Why are there two people talking at the same time?
The Buick is my favorite one. Imagine if they had put all that technology in the cars then what would we have today? Maybe we would have flying cars like the Jetsons 😂
In lieu of airbags, did the Centurion have ejection seats?
It’s like you were singing in a round so to speak. I could hear the last verse coming through when you were on the next verse. Like some kind of weird echo
Good video but the sound has an annoying echo.
👀...🔥👍😎👍🔥
Plymouth dash concept showed up in 1968 Ford Torino
WHY don't they market these cars today?? Modernize the emissions to keep the tree huggers happy but KEEP the styling because that is what is missing today. I'd buy one. Would love a manual transmission on the column.
Sound track is annoyingly distracting. Who made this decision?
If Hot Wheels ever got it's act together, they would start issuing a series of die-cast cars based on actual "Concept Cars" that once existed.
Fortunately a company called Minichamps produced several Fifties concept cars in 1:18 scale, the Buick Centurion among them. The are expensive but very well done. Regrettably, to the best of my knowledge they did not do the Plymouth featured in this film, nor any of the other Ghia designed Chrysler Corp concept cars from this era.
@@terrencebiggane8648 Love Ghia designs...you can always tell a Ghia-designed body...
Glad it was saved
It was sad that even when making a concept car it was never looked at as being able to be mass produced. Cars have even gotten worse today by finding shapes that could be made by simple stampings and even shared between models. So hard to even recognize a model because they all are made to look the same. Cars even like the Camero have had the same look for years now. The automotive industry is just sad now days.
I hear you to a point but today we have stock V8 engines making more than 400 horsepower on a routine basis all the while still meeting emission requirements and getting decent fuel economy. The C8 Corvette offers amazing performance and gets over 20 mpg on the highway if driven sanely although I'm not a huge fan of its looks (which are totally subjective of course). Totally agree with you about most cars looking almost identical though.
Cars are designed for Good Aerodynamics that's why they all look the same.. Back when they were square and had the Aerodynamics of a Brick .. Auto Companies could be more creative..
It has nothing to do with manufacturing it is all down to regulations and how cars are in effect designed by bureaucrats.
Great video bad sound
Great video, however the "under audio" might be considered Artsy but is very annoying and a complete distraction. Was that added or just an audio glitch?
Take that car for a drive on the freeway and watch all the other drivers crashing their cars taking pictures with their phones.
The buick looks like a vette. The explorer definetly was a real head turner. Not an old mans car.
Between UV and infrared, the roof of the Centurion is a disaster. What the heck happened to your audio?
the olds hands down should have been produced instead of the vet, dont get me wrong, but The Olds F88 was the wip as far as I am concerned
100% agree
When the creator's imagination flies way high in the sky, the car can't move on the roads!
The concurrent soundtracks is a big miss . Far from "ambience" : It creates Distraction .
I remember as a kid in the 1960’s seeing concept cars at the Automobile Building at the State Fair of Texas. Forget the Midway and rides, I rushed to see the cars.
Audio echo again
This is a great video. Great history of the ??? mind of man. But the one thing that is irrelevant is the audience. The echos and repeated voices of those speaking to understand this particular vehicle and those (perhaps) to become, irritating. Harley Earl best expressed his mind.
One of them the 1957 Cadillac Eldorado Brougham, introduced in 1954 worlds fair New York. A beautifully crafted vehicle in all aspects of automotive industry. Hand built and select. Beautiful, beautiful car that has out lasted time and money, probably beyond.
This particular car was by all aspects of automotive industrial minds, the most advanced car of it's time, way far of 50 years that we see and drive this moment in time 2022.
Just an opinion. It's all forward, computers, not man making the machine.
I recently ordered an automobile some 2 1/2 years ago. In past it was man learning his machine. This one as beautiful as she is, instead learns me. That is a wow factor. Hummm!
The '56 Bucik was soemthing else. With is horns, thorns, daggers, and switchblade elements, it could maim and even kill kids in your driweway -- before you even pulled out to the street. Glad it was never built for real.
I've seen that car and the whole lot at slone museum for decades. Nobody ever even mentioned it.
could stick some batteries in it...a great EV
Stunning American design and innovation! Buick’s are now made in China. 😐
The wonderful American comedian, Ben Rich, gave the best option for not getting married and the easiest way to avoid a nasty divorce. 'Find a woman who hates your guts and buy them a house, then walk away.' Boy, I really wish I had listened to his advice.
This could have been very interesting to watch but the audio is just too annoying.
That echo is so annoying.
So many decades and they still cannot pronounce 'Sputnik'
It is too bad that the design studios didn’t keep their work in a museum. By the time that the bad days came in the mid 1970’s, the US auto companies had lost their passion for design and started making ugly, poorly built cars. For the next 4 decades.
And who would want to drive a bullet for a family member in and around the city or country?
That 54 Plymouth I believe the start of Plymouth Cordova
This presentation was PLAGUED with commercial interruptions. 😡
Horrific cameraman and editing of video.
This was all for nothing. Where's my flying car?
Do you realize the pieces of garbage we drive today
Ford should have left the fuel tank out of the Pinto.
lose the overdubbing. its too distracting
oof sound
So what’s with the annoying talking going on in the background?
LoL hub caps
What's with the echo-delay nonsense. Makes this unwatchable.
....echo, echo, echo, echo, echo, echo...
Great content, horrible audio editing 🤣
Grrrr. Do you really have to waste our time and assault our ears like that?
It's a real shame that this type of imagination has disappeared. The cars of today are boring trash cans on wheels in comparison. If this car were to go into production, with a gas tank, I'd be all over it! There isn't a car made today that I would purchase.
Also, your sound track is really messed up! It is repeating itself like an out of synch echo. You really need to clean it up because it distracts people when listening to it. At least, it did that for me.
If the Buick Centurion was mine, I'd build a Pro Stock drag car with it.
Fortunately it is not.
No fuel tank but SHOWS a fuel gauge with a half a tank
Something is wrong with the sound dood is talking over himself brah 👎
I noticed that too. I thought I had another browser open .
@@majorneptunejr did you say Doogie Browser MD brah?
