On "My Car Story" we're in Geneva IL at The Geneva Concours d’Elegance on 8-25-19.
We're looking at a 1962 Plymouth Sport Fury in Ermine White Paint. This car has the factory 413 CI V8 Wedge Super Stock engine.
The car's Owner is Tom Wolters. Tom’s had the car since 1963. Tom shares his Boss in 1963 sold him the car. Then he sold it. Then he bought the car back again.
ENJOY!
The original street sweeper exhaust system. This is just a beauty and my hat is off to the owner. Thanks Lou.
Hi customkey
, Happy to read you enjoy the looks of this car :-) You're welcome, Lou
I always loved how Chrysler tucked the exhaust up in the frame and wrapped it to the body, and then dove the pipe, at 30 degrees, exiting below the rear bumper. No straight pipe out the back, they always paid attention to detail, back in the day, nothing like what they produced over the last forty years. Beautiful car..... I don't care what people think, I love this era of Chrysler products.
Hi Chuck Haugan, Happy to read you love this era Chrysler :-) Lou
The 62 sport fury was ahead of it's time..beautiful car..🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Happy to read you enjoy the looks of this car :-)
Agreed
Back when cars were exciting! I always looked forward to fall when the new models would come out. Everything today looks the same, year in and year out. 🎵..the 413’s really diggin’ in...🎶
Hi The Wise Owl, Glad to read you enjoy this car, and the motor too :-) Lou
I know 10 year old models are not much different,no style anymore.
I was born in 1961, but this car makes my heart skip a beat: beautiful chrome trim, RW&B insignias, taillights and how they reflect on the body, push button transmission selector, all they goodies as you say. Such attention to detail back in the day. Plus I am glad to hear he drives this on a semi-regular basis. Good man he is! Thanks Lou & your guest today for a wonderful car!
Hi Rusty, Happy to read this one "makes my heart skip a beat" :-) You're welcome, Lou
Lou,
I think I have watched this episode 100 times. Thank you for documenting cars like this!
Mikey B.,
Happy to read you're enjoying the cars on the Channel :-) You're welcome, Lou
After I recked my 59 in 78 I bought
a stunning 62 Fury Convertible. Mine had the 413 in
it too. Stunning car. It was silver and had it had a matching interior.
I kept it till I graduated in 79 then I bought a boring Simca. Have to tell you
it was quite the experience driving it in the snow!
Hi MOPAR Lover, Sounds like a great car and wonderful memories to share :-) Thank you for viewing and sharing, Lou
When you realize the dream come true...this one has the Plymouth DNA. Fantastic car inside and all over. Thanks a lot Lou...great
Hi Motorhead Banger, Wonderful comment :-) Thank you for viewing, sharing, and you're welcome, Lou
Definitely!
What an awesome sight seeing the two 4 bbl carbs on top when you opened the hood! Beautiful big block Mopar! 👍🏼👍🏼😁😁
Hi Matthew Johnson
, Glad to see you enjoy this motor :-) Hope you see many more cars on this CZcams Channel you'll enjoy, Lou
1962 Plymouth is one of my favorites. Virgil Exner design team created this beautiful machine. Chrysler unfortunately fired him. There actually was a prototype of a 1962 DeSoto but of course they stopped production of DeSoto in Nov of 60, selling last few as a 1961 model then it was goodbye DeSoto. I really enjoyed this video because the 1962 Plymouth was just the right size of car but obviously not for the early sixties era. It's nice to see automobiles that are different. Thanks again! Beautiful car!
Hi Walter Weddle
, Happy to read this one is a favorite of yours :-) You're welcome, Lou
I think the 1962 Plymouth's were one of the most beautifully and uniquely designed Cars of 1962!💕
Hi James, Happy to read you enjoy the looks of this car :-) Lou
I once owned a 64 Belvedere back in the late 60s. I used to think the 62s looked ugly but today I would almost prefer one of these unique looking B body cars.
Hi
G Philip C, Happy to read this one brings back memories of your 64 :-) Cars have an amazing way of looking better with age, Lou
A friend of a friend had this car in white, back in the day, built motor, manual valve body push button Torqueflite, bigs and littles, and man it was quick, if not scary. He had it jacked up in the back with huge tires. It would run high 12's all day. But with tiny drum brakes, it had it's frightening side!
Hi Midnight Gambler, Happy to read this car brings back memories for you, however you're right, this car is good on the "Go" side :-) & could be bad on the "slow down" side :-( Thank you for viewing and sharing, Lou
I used to think these were ugly,now I want one.
Thanks Lou.
Hi Gary Mckee, Cars have an amazing way of looking better with age, Lou

Great to see video of Tom's rare '62 Sport Fury supercar. First saw it at the April 2015 Larry Roesch season-opening show in Elmhurst, and it grabbed me back then! Tom's a great guy, and glad to see he's enjoying it. Didn't realize Tom found it through our mutual car buddy up in Wisconsin!

Ya did it again Lou👌. Back then they even put thought into the design asthetics of steering wheel!
Hi X K, Happy to read you enjoy the design and details of this car :-) Lou
I always have time for a Plymouth Fury. They really wedged in that wedge engine.
Hi Right Lane Hog, Glad to read you enjoy the time with this car :-) Lou
Such a beautiful machine and its owner obviously gives it plenty of love

Beautiful car and color combination! Loud cars and music echoes my youth! From a smooth quiet Imperial to a loud lumpy Plymouth! From one extreme to the other! Another great video, Lou!
Hi Olias Of Sunhillow, Happy to read this car you enjoy and brings back fun memories :-) Appreciate your kind words on this video, Lou
I wish they made cars like this today. Man what a smooth ride. Super stock says it all. I bet that little old lady from Pasadena would feel right at home behind the wheel of this classic. Tom Hanks look alike.

That some raw power there plus it's great shape for living in the rust belt it's whole life
Hi larry borkstrom, Nothing like "raw power" :-) Nice, Lou
Thank you for keeping this beautiful car alive a blast from the past. Todays cars will never qualify as classics they are so boring and cheaply made, Not like this 1962 Plymouth.
Hi Improper Bostonian, Happy to video and share this rarity with you :-) Lou
nice video, beauty of a car. I've seen one of 13 three speed 413 max wedge savoy but never a fury. "savoy only had one rear taillight" thanks for sharing

nice! I agree, back when cars were exciting! We did look forward to fall for the next year models, especially during car shopping times with the parents.
Hi Kenny branshaw, Glad to read you think this car Is "nice!" :-) Lou
Love your channel, Lou!!
So many people disliked this styling of this years Dodge and Plymouth downsized full sized cars. They called it a European styling and me being me loved this style because it was different and the fact dad bought a used ‘62 Plymouth Wagon in 1966 I was 4 years old. I still remember him coming home in the driveway and me being so excited we got a new car. New to our family of 7.
Hi gene978, Happy to read this car / video brings back wonderful memories of Dad's Wagon :-) Lou
Love the '62 Dodge and Plymouths, used to think that they were ugly, not anymore! 😍😎👍🏻👌🏻👏🏻

I have always thought the 1962 Plymouth is the cleanest and handsomest ever. The last season of Leave it to Beaver a 1962 was the family car and was the central character in one episode. Beautiful car, so much appreciate seeing it.
Hi Sean Bailey, Happy to read you enjoy seeing this car :-) Lou
These 1962s are perfect
Nice :-)
The sound makes my heart beat thanks Lou for your service GS out 413 really Diggin it
Hi GS, Happy to read this one keeps the blood flowing, and it's official you're a "Car Guy" :-) You're welcome, Lou
Wow what a story and what a car! I was born in early 60's and could identify (pretty much) any car brand without seeing them by listening to the starter and motors back when automobiles had unique characteristics (especially sounds). Thanks for putting this on youtube. It brings back memories. Too bad antiques and classics are no longer appreciated by the newer generation. All they want is the latest WIFI and computerization available in today's cars. I suspect automobiles of today will become disposable like cell phones and the "latest and greatest technology" will only matter to them unfortunately. I distinctly remember similar models like yours used in "It's a mad, mad, mad mad world" which was the latest production back then.
Hi J.L. Jr, Happy to read you enjoy this episode :-) Thank you for commenting and sharing your thoughts too, Lou
There's no sparkly "Lurex" material in the interior of this beast!
My dream car...thanks, Lou.
Hi James, Happy to read this one is a "dream car" for you :-) You're welcome, Lou
WOW Lou, you are sure highlighting some Fantastic cars this season !!
Like I've said before in earlier videos I just Love Mopar's "Ugly Ducklings" that I heard them called years ago in my 40yrs of going to car Shows. They have a Beauty all their own and the engineering, drafting that went into these 1960s cars with all the curves and angles just fascinates me during this time in American cars !!
This is one Beautiful Sport Fury !!!
Love it in "Sleeper" White with that Nice 413 Wedge he has a rare car !!
Well go out "back in the day", Drag Racing Saturday night and then go to Church Sunday morning and ask for forgiveness !! Lol : D
Nice job Lou
Hi Ronnie Farnsworth

Super Car, Torque Flite push button with wing windows(miss those windows), I drove a 1963/1964 Dodge Version of the 426 Wedge.
Hi David Overholt, Happy to read you enjoy this "Super Car" :-) Cool you were able to drive a Dodge version of the 426 Wedge. Thank you for viewing and sharing, Lou

I rode in this exact car in High School a kid got from an old lady and it had 3 on the tree. I was amazed at the 413 when he opened the hood.
Hi Terrance Fields, Happy to read this one brings back memories of the car you rode in back in High School :-) Lou
NICE, glad he got the same one back, 410 HP back then in a small car like that meant time to fry those skinny tires
Hi jim dandy, Big HP + small tires car = marks on the pavement :-) Lou
Hi Tom & Lou: Cool how Tom found this car. Well done 😀

Hi trainroomgary

Lou, the story about the man's wife that wanted the Imperial re=minds me of a true story. In 1976 my friend bought his wife an Oldsmobile 88 from the local Cadillac Olds dealer. After 2 weeks of ownership his wife told me how happy she was that her husband bought her a Cadillac. I was surprised and told her it was an Olds. She said the dealer's name on the trunk was a Caddy dealer. When I told her they also sold Oldsmobiles she realized what she had and got angry demanding her husband sell the car and buy a Cadillac! He did and she got a baby blue Coupe deville with a white padded top! True story!!
Steve W
That is funny. He should have told her it was a Cadillac Olds lol
Hi Steve W, Thanks for sharing that story :-) Lou
he mentioned the interior color scheme right on fantastic... thanks

I love the trim sectioning off the headliner. A lot like a '62 Olds Starfire but oh what a mess the Olds was when it started to deteriorate.
Hi Gregory, Thank you for viewing and sharing your thoughts. Hope you see many more cars on this CZcams Channel you enjoy. Lou
Those skinny little tires wouldn’t have much chance against that horsepower. That is a rare car car, very nice.👍👍

Great car Lou! Stying of the 62 Fury was not very popular with the public at the time...but it sure looks GREAT to me and a lot of other people today. Great camera work.
Hi Jesse Mag, Cars have an amazing what of getting better looking with age, Lou
What a neat car that engine and engine sound! Wow! The old push button drive. Last time I saw one of these is on Leave It To Beaver! I love the blue and white colors. Just love the interior and that hand choke Wow!!! The owner was awesome too The owners make the cars too with their stories on each car! Thanks Lou for sharing!

Great Find Lou.. nice work as always.. Mopar Everyday and Everywhere..
Hi At Zero, Happy to read you appreciate this find :-) Lou
Yes that is a period correct Alternator . Chrysler was first to have one in 1960 when it came in the Valiant and by the end of 1961 it was in their complete Line of cars .
Hi Gary wood, Thank you for viewing and sharing your knowledge, Lou
Alternators were also found on all the 1960 Chrysler 300-F Pont-a-Moussin 4-Speed short ram cars. Again, Mopar an industry leader. My '60 300-F has its generator, but all the '61 Chrysler Corp. cars had alternators, as Gary says.
Stunning designs ,but also very durable and reliable i love these 62's Plym's and Dodges .
Hi smithy smithy, Happy to read you "love" this car :-) Lou
Thanks Lou what a beautiful car , what a lucky guy to own this cas
Hi Marshall dillion, Happy to read you enjoy the looks of this car :-) You're welcome, Lou
This car is a marvelous find. I've never been a fan of the styling of these vehicles, however what you have there is a top of the line period correct Sport Fury hardtop with the top engine option. This is not a bare bones Savoy with a 225 6. A great find.
Hi Larry Hawkins, Happy to share this rarity with you :-) Lou

I'd love to have a 62 Dodge or Plymouth with the 413 Max Wedge and the 727 auto trans. They were ugly but man oh man were they fast!!! Not really streetable but still an AWESOME car. Also the coolest looking Intake and Exhaust manifolds ever on any production car in my opinion
Hi Jeremy Thompson, Enjoyed reading your comments on this car :-) Glad to read you enjoy this car, Lou
Beautiful car and a great job in documentation and maintaining! My first car was a 65 Chrysler 300 with the 413 wedge. When "pedal to the metal" you could actually watch the gas gauge go down! Thank goodness for 25 cent gas!
Hi Paul K, Glad to read you enjoy the looks of this car, and it brings back memories of your 1st car too :-) Lou
An "ugly Ducklin" in 62, but witha 413 Max Wedge, it was a fast "ugly Ducklin".
Nice :-)
My mom purchased a new 1963 convertible sport fury (red) from a Plymouth dealer's wife. It was the demo car. She loved it. She didn't like the style of the 1962. The '63 Sport Fury was her first new car when she was 21. She traded it in 1968.
Hi Concetta Malloy, Glad to read this car / video brings back memories of your Mom's cars :-) Thank you for viewing and sharing, Lou
@@loucostabile our mom had a kid brother who liked her car too, so he purchased the same one - but it was a 1963 black 'golden commando' version sport fury with a red top and red interior. she said he wanted to outshine her because he was a male. she said less than a year after purchasing his, he was drinking & driving too fast, ran off the road and down a steep embankment. the car was totaled but he was fine. she said it served him right. I think yours is a golden commando, so the engine was the biggest one available; too powerful for a 20 year-old, which was our uncle's age at the time.
The only way to describe that car is " Simplicity at its' very best! "
Well said :-)
Nice cars as usual Lou thank you. A sports fury is hard to find these days. When are you going to show us some station wagons Lou?? Can´t wai´t.
Hi Herr bananhjärna Smith

Beautiful.
Happy to read you enjoy the looks of this car :-)
That is a beauty! I always loved the '62 Dodge and Plymouths, even though others didn't fall head over heels with them. They weren't bad cars, just not as popular. Chrysler shot itself in the foot with the downsized '62s, and buyers stayed away and turned to the real full sized cars. But nothing could stop them on the drag strip! And the '62 Plymouth had a long production run, lasting all the way until 1979, albeit with multiple styling changes. Later, of course, came cars like the Road Runner, GTX, and Dodge Charger. All of those were B-bodies, like the '62 Plymouth!

Great video Lou, love those old Plymouths.
I believe 65 was the first year the Fury grew a few inches and was no longer using the Belvedere platform. That's where things get a little confusing for me. Can someone explain the difference between the Fury I, II, III? To top it off they even had a Sports Fury.
Hi Mighty Lonesome, Happy to read you enjoy this video :-) Good question, and I don't know the answer and hoping a Viewer can share their knowledge, Lou
@@loucostabile
I know if I dig deep enough I can find out but I'm old and lazy. I'll rely on one of the walking encyclopedias.
The '65 Fury moved from the B body to the larger C body platform. The Fury I, II, III, Sport Fury (not Sports) and eventually VIP ('66-'69 for the VIP trim) were all trim levels of the same basic car.
@@dnanestrau
Thanks, never too old to learn a thing or two.
@@dnanestrau Absolutely correct! The B body transitioned to the Satellite model and the Fury went to the larger C body platform....IMHO Chrysler was attempting to expand the market and the larger Fury was not as desirable....rarely see them at car shows....
EXCELLENT!!!
High praise :-)
thats a keeper!!
Glad to read you enjoy this car :-)
I like originals. 👍
Hi Teve Tanders, Happy to read you enjoy this original car :-) Hope you see many more cars you enjoy on this CZcams Channel, Lou
And no powere steering from what I can see either!!! The 1st. muscle car imo. It predates the GTO 2 yrs.
An important historical did-bit is this is the 1st. B body. This car has the same platform as all the Road Runners, Chargers, Super Bees, etc. Great video!
Hi UberLummox, Clearly lots on Muscle under the hood of this car :-) Thank you for the kind words on this video, Lou
Winner Lou!
Nice Joseph :-)
Boy oh boy!
:-)
More proof that Chrysler built the 1st Original Muscle Cars, it was not GM/Pontiac with the GTO (heavier/less HP btw..lol). Mopar even advertised these as performance cars.
Super nice car Sir...Thank you for sharing it!
Thank you also for the memories too.
I had a 64 Sport Fury I miss so dearly. I only sold it because my back blew out and I went through 2 failed surgeries forcing me into early retirement. I felt bad the ol' lady was foot'n all our bills while my SS was so slow starting. Imagine that huh? Less than 2 weeks after selling mine my SS went through, I am still sick over it, 20 yrs later. I do get to visit it at car shows fwiw.. Grrrr!!

In 1960 chrysler designers & builders had a miscommunication & out came the 1962 model year. So weird they're gorgeous
Cars have an amazing way of looking better with age.
This car is much like a fun loving homely girl with a perfectly compatible personality who's daddy owns a liquor store. 😁
Hi AMC401 Nash, That's funny :-) Lou
Love the Max Wedge. and the 1962 Plymouth fury body style.what a race package.these would put the GM and ford super stock cars on the trailer.406 Ford's and 409 Chevy were no match for the Max Wedge.
Hi just enough, Happy to read you "Love the Max Wedge" :-) Glad I was able to share this one with you, Lou
@@loucostabile I have always liked the 62s,I had a 62, 2dr hard top Chrysler Newport I think they are a sharp looking car,mine had the economy 361c.i big block with 2bbl carb it would still light up right rear tire.i would still like to have one.just writing this makes me want one.and I like the Plymouth featured even if it had a 318 it wouldn't matter as long as it was a hard top.you feature some very nice car's.
What a beautiful car, almost as beautiful as the cars out of Detroit today.
Yeah, pretty close :-)
Is that ment to be sarcasm?

NICE!!!! ;-)

That's gotta be the only one left on the planet.
Hi Steven, Happy to read you appreciate the rarity of seeing this car :-) Lou
This `62 is noted as having the 413 V8, which was never an option on Plymouths, period. It must be the 383 block mis-ID'd.

Maybe someone talked about this already. 410 HP on a car of this size? It must have had a top speed of over 150 MPH. Or was it impossible to drive it that fast because of not having enough weight in the back? Thank you Lou and Owner Tom Wolters.
Hi Jed Clampett, At 150 MPH I'd be concerned with stability on the road. The front of this car is flat so I wonder if the air would be forced under the car and create a light steering from the wind? Bottom line, I'd do burn outs all day long and keep it under 100 MPH :-) Lou
