On "My Car Story" we're in the Suburbs of Chicago IL on 10-19-19.
We're looking at a 1970 Plymouth Sport Suburban Station Wagon in Red Paint. The car features the factory 383 CI V8 engine.
The car's Owner is Frank Troost. Frank’s had this car since 2011. Frank shares he or his family never had a station wagon, and when he saw this one, he thought it would be fun to add to his collection.
ENJOY!
Ahhhh, miles and miles of vinyl seats- so stiff and freezing in winter, so clinging and scorching in summer! Oh, the memories.
Lou, Yes it is true, WE the viewers have asked for more wagons. These were the family workhorses of the day and few have survived. Frank, you are correct about carrying 4X8 sheets of plywood, today's fancy pickups with 5 foot beds certainly cannot carry a full sheet. I hope we see more wagons on Lou's channel in the future.
I think those hubcaps are beautiful
This thing is in ABSOLUTELY IMPECCABLE original condition!!... AMAZING!!
Brings back memories! my Grand parents had a wagon green and black vinyl interior. had a 318, 3 speed on the column and posi so he wouldn't get stuck parallel parking in the winter.
My father had one of these 1970 Plymouth Sport Suburbans (it was white); he bought it from the original owner in 1976. I still remember that car in vivid detail, including that rear tailgate. The car was quiet, smooth and had plenty of power. It had a cavernous interior, offering a level of comfort in a car we none of us had ever experienced before. The car was incredibly rich with features, lots of options. I particularly enjoyed the steering wheel, as this was the first car I drove where the steering wheel did not intrude into my line of sight. It's wonderful to see an example of these in such great condition.
Chrysler really "flexed their muscles" with this vehicle. Gotta love a wagon with a power bulge hood! Thanks Lou.
Lou!!!! Thanks for this wagon! When I was 8, my best friend in the world's family had one of these but not the sports addition. We did two Halloween, trick-or-treat commutes, off the back tailgate. Plastic pumpkins of loot went to the floor boards of the back seat and we sat on the tailgate, as his Dad sped from house to house, in the outback of rural Washington State. I mean, you can't expect his Dad to put up with kids slamming his wagon doors, now could you? His Dad had us four boys arm in arm, with big brother's seated on the out board ends of the tailgate, grasping the grab bars for dear life. So, that answers the question of what the grab bars are for: kid safety. LOL. It's amazing I'm still alive or not seriously brain damaged from the Union 76, leaded gas, everyone believed was superior to the unleaded stuff the government was cramming down our throats. But, there's something about a rig where kids weren't in a foot race for "who's gonna ride shot gun?" The foot race was all about "who's gonna watch the world pass them by in reverse?" I think I still have bruises on my shoulder from the punch wars to entitle us to the rear facing back seat. Thanks for brining a big part of peoples lives to CZcams. Very cool rig
Wagons are pure Americana Lou. Love when Frank gets something new! Thank you!
I like them Hubcaps. Leave them on.
such a good looking wagon. I always thought the '70 Fury's with hidden headlights were cool...even as a kid when these were new...great style. I also remember seeing the state patrol 4 door sedans with the 440 badges on the hood blisters. thx for another vehicle shared from this guy's great collection!
Respect to the engineers who came up with the tailgate. Very clever.
Great wagon, it has the optional power windows and 8 track player. Btw the head light doors are electric, not vacuum. They open and close faster than vacuum operated doors. The electric motor is located in front of the A/C condenser.
Awesome wagon. It brings back memories because when I was a kid.. my aunt and uncle had a Red Woody 1970 Plymouth wagon just like the one featured in the video.
You see more and more collectors collecting station wagons nowadays...
What a gem!
Like the car and the owner, seems a super nice guy. thanks Lou.
What an amazingly beautiful paint job on a piece of Americana. Love that red, love those wheel covers. The coolest thing to me are exterior grab handles.
We had a '70 Town and Country, which was the Chrysler version of this car. It was a land yacht for sure, but it had the 383 4 barrel and was pretty quick, in spite of its weight. Eventually, my father sold it to a guy who lived across the street. One of the saddest days of my life was coming home and seeing it with the rear end smashed in like an accordion after being hit by a semi.
My Dad was a Mopar guy, that starter sound takes me back.
