The original Maserati Ghibli, from the 1960s and 1970s, shows us why Maserati used to be great -- even though Maserati isn't very desirable anymore. Today I'm reviewing a 1971 Maserati Ghibli SS to show you a time when Maserati used to be cool.

As I write this: 100 comments about the car. 2,600 comments about the turn signal being on.
Yes, I know it was on. I wasn't driving the car at the time. I could not turn off the Maserati's turn signal from the Toyota I was following with, unless I had a very long stick.
Doug DeMuro when ur right ur right most comments are about the turn signal
Doug DeMuro what about the multiple t-shirt comments?
Did you know your turn signal was on?
Doug do you really open chips packets using scissor?
Hahahaha
Legend says he is still turning right
NogNog
😂😂😂
Doug, the type of guy to leave his right indicator light on while turning left and cruising on the highway.
Mika de Grote jaja yes im just gonna comment that
Doug the type of guy to eat his own ass
Yeah i cringe when i see someone do that....
Reported for spamming your shitty garbage music
Mika de Grote I don’t think it’s him driving.
Doug: "What the fu-"
Me: *gasps*
Doug: "-ss was"
My reaction too. 😂
WTF
AdamG1983 “-ss is”***
That was my reaction too!
Fr i was stunned before he even finished the sentence
Best car quote of the decade, “Maserati hasn’t always made CRAP”...
I don’t think Doug is getting an invite to the Maserati USA holiday party this year.
Blunt but true :p
Kent Holdett, I laughed way too much when he said that
@Alessio R. They're cars for people who want a car that says "Look at my flashy expensive sports car Im so rich" but are scared of actually fast cars.
@@Wrathlon Drive a 450S then let me know what you think :-)
Legends say that, that turning light is still on.

You just start and indicator is with you
The window is open and he can't hear that it didn't turn off, I guess.
John Thompson charades!
That signal is still blinking in 2020...when i revisited this video out of coronabordom.
When I was six years old, my dad went to the UK on business and purchased me a metallic blue 1:18 scale model Ghibli. It was the most beautiful thing I had ever seen (at the time)!
A few months later my 2 yo little brother got ahold of and destroyed it, rippedout the plastic seats and pulled of and lost the wheels. I was mortified! I tried not to cry in front of my dad. He could see I was upset...
A few days later my mom and I were spring cleaning my room and she found the Ghibli hidden under my bed (I hoped I could fix it somehow)... but she told me I should throw it away....
I took one last look at the long sleek body and started weeping...me mom asked me why wept and all I said was..."It still looks sooooo good!" Since then it was a bucket list car of mine!
yes i had the same model i think it was from Corgi Toys or Minichamps or perhaps Dinkytoys
This is one of the most beautiful GTs ever made.
agreed
Doug is the kind of guy who has too much fun with the Ghibli to cancel his turn indicator.
Doug wasn't driving on the outside shots.
At that age, probably not self canceling...
and use the right blinker turning left
I didn't realize the road orientation in Dubai was the same as America. Neat!
Had the goddamn right turn signal on the whole damn time lol.
no
ArmaHD There’s a time and place for everything. But not now.
The one time there was a van in the right lane and it slowed down thinking, is the guy getting over or what, then sped off, lol.
Yep
It’s probably stuck on
Who else thought Doug was going to drop the F-Bomb @ 1:35? lol
14:25!
Glad I wasn’t the only one
He said it with energy haha
14:48 the way he says home is so nice
I guess that button that "does nothing" is actually a turn signal :D
No, it clearly says on the drawing "choke". With carburetor cars you had to switch that on to start a cold engine.
@@thomasrosemarielutz8351 The choke is on the left, that button still has no known function
@@FearlessLeader2001 *_"He's Lutz, He's Lutz, He's Lutz..."_*
Doug the kind of guy to drive around Dubai with the turn signal on all the time
Doug wasn't driving, he was filming the outside shots while someone else drove so he could get those B-roll shots.
And the wrong turn signal at that.
*the horn on all the time
That dealership inventory is mouth-watering
That’s a beautiful car, inside and out.
Indeed a beauty to look at . 10 out of ten for looks BUT it is beyond annoying in regards to inbuilt headaches like the access to the boot , the fake rare seats that are no seats but 'storage' , the buttons on the dash with out signs on them and the ones hidden below makes for a stressful day . a thief could always see whats in your boot for it has a glass top! The engine might be nice sounding and a dream to cruise in but there are to many inpractical headaches and flaws attached .
It is a car only for a nice sunny day and never for daily usage in rain or fog , a toy for a rich man who uses a mercedes as a run around and this for dating only and when no date day is set in the diary then it sits in the garage. If they were as good as he makes out then i would have seen more of them. In all the 34 years living in london i only saw a few and that was in the 80s . After that you just did not see any of them anymore . Why ? Just not practical and probably always playing up for the italians always do .
A friend of mine has a new masseratti four door and one day it would not start and i had to pick him up from his house in my trusted old workhorse the Merc. This is a toy for a hobby and you have to treat it like a lap pet . It will never be a workhorse. For all its outer beauty it will let you down just a mistress or your estranged wife.

Ant1ev0 you're a cool guy
mpsSalvadorian he had em on the whole drive
"THIS" .... is the first Doug video I've ever seen that didn't start with...
One of the most beautiful cars ever made. Funny how you always point to things as odd or strange, but everything need the perspective of the initial design area. Unlabelled switches and buttons, check, you have the manual for that and the dealer to explain. The interior is amazingly beautiful. Keep driving the car and suddenly you’ll see all buttons and switches are exactly there where needed when driving. The back is perfectly done when seeing it from the right perspective. Building a car has an order. So the carpeting is pure logic and efficient. Filling up the holes with cushions is a great idea, for noise reduction. The fact you can take them out for convenience of space is genius. Air vents in the back? Brilliant. The speed when driving will create different air pressure between the interior and outside world thus sucking out ‘used air’ from the interior. And some other things,.....it’s just design 😁 Who cares the headrest only has two useable settings. When taking it out it is symmetrical. Design. This is one of the most most beautiful cars ever made. Sometimes one just has to drop the ego and ‘needed’ comfort. A car is made for emotions, driving, enjoyment, love.
Doug is the type of guy to have 1.2 million subs and use a microphone from a Fisher Price PXL-2000.
Brett Miller 😂🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😂
Doug has a 1970's "Mr. Microphone" and rides by an Arab women in a Burka saying over the radio, *_"HEY GOOD LOOKIN'!!! WE'LL BE BACK TO PICK YOU UP LATER!!!"_*

Doug's the type of guy that uses their right blinker when making left turns. 16:08
18:30 just driving with a turn signal on.
Forgot to turn off LOL
🤣
Damn that is a good looking car
1.1 million views! Keep the old cars alive, Doug!
Joe Walsh's Maserati did 185 because it had an LT swap...
Doug kept the Right Indicator on while he was driving
Gundeep Virdi ...and while turning left...haha
It’s an Italian car. Something had to be broken
Video ruined
Couldn't stop noticing that. Lol. His entire drive!
To remind you the right decision in all circumstances
Doug will publish videos filmed in Dubai for the next 10 years.
MrIndeciso I hope he does
Please make a DeTomaso Mangusta or Pantera video!!
... and Maserati Bora
YESSSSS!!!!!!
I truly don't know how Doug stays alive, he literally NEVER takes a breath during an entire video...😅😅.
Some 85 year old Italian who designed the back storage is watching this with a single tear rolling down his cheek. :(
And using one of his million money bills to wipe off said tear :'(
1:35 I thought Doug was about to curse.
Danly Iii
Nice lol
FUSS OFF
Yea that got me too XD
same as fuss
Now Doug needs to review the 1963 Stingray. One of the most classic vehicles ever made and it also had popup headlights.
Lotus had pop up headlights in 1962.
Doug, I've watched many, many of your reviews, and I'm not sure I've seen you have as much pure driving pleasure as you got from the car. You've enjoyed other models, but something about the nostalgia, and sound and response and comfort from this car just seems like it was at the top. Just my reaction.
Doug is the kind of guy that has millions of subscribers but still uses a Yahoo email adress.
Coalcandy It's scary how accurate this is
Yahoo owns AutoTrader, it's probably a stipulation of his employment.
What's wrong with yahoo?
Yeah what’s wrong with yahoo? An email is an email regardless of which website it’s associated with.
Harambe its unsafe email server now. Yahoo is not very secure anymore, to keep your private information, unlike hotmail or gmail, who have very great security to protect your emails. Even though they may spy on it, but there is a very less chance of getting it hacked. Also, yahoo emails have less support than the other two emails. And gmail has a lot more business features which doug could benefit from.
Doug the type of guy to turn himself in after running a red light
Or driving around with his blinker on.
They need dual gas tanks again, could have 91 in 1 tank, and race gas in my other tank🤣
I was 4 years old when I first saw this car, thank you so much for letting me see it close up
Self-cancelling turn signals not included.
Seriously that dealership person driving for the B-roll must have been like those old people who drive for miles and miles with their blinker on.
Patrick...the kind of guy to police the comments and let everyone know it was a dealership employee driving with the turn signal on and not Doug lmao. Good Job Patrick! It was annoying though....Cheers! Zip~
ZippoVarga so very true 😂😂
Ya , and new maseratis turn signals probably snap off when you turn them on
Lol
Rumour goes that the blinker(right) is still on.
Best YT channel. Thx man, You do amazing job! The car is pure beauty
@Doug The Ghibli was designed by Giorgetto Giugiaro, not Marcello Gandini
You're right, it was designed by Giugiaro at Ghia's. The Khamsin was Gandini's design still in Bertone. Whoa! Great names and great designs.
Andrés Gárate
your name isn't too bad either!
Doug’s the type of guy to leave his right turn signal on...
No, the dealership person driving is the type of person to do that.
Could be the shotty Italian wiring
then give it a doug score
Those "fake wheel caps" are "true" hubcaps. Hubcaps were originally covers over the "hub" of the wheel covering the nuts from getting dirty or weather worn.

+ArmaHD Can you stop, please? Promoting your music on a totally-unrelated car channel is an incredibly poor way to get fans and all you're doing is inviting people to pile on the dislikes and make your video less likely to be discovered organically.
I have reported him. He spammed almost every comment on this video. Probably a bot.
They are fake single lug wheels
Noah Lach it’s not his music
That car looks sensational. Man, what a gorgeous beast!
In the early days olectric windows the mechanisms were not particularly reliable. As a backup, many manufacturers left the mechanical winding mechanisms intact, replacing the handle with a plug. Usually, a spare handle was provided in the tool kit so that if the electric mechanism failed, the owner could pop the plug, insert the handle and wind the window up. Not sure if this was the case with this particular car but it was certainly common. I suspect the they engineers just didn't decide to cover a hole with a plug.
Doug, the type of guy to indicate right during the whole video while he keeps going left.
If it did not have the rear vents, the pressure difference at high speeds could potentially lift the rear glass right off the car.
what
That's exactly it. Air in must equal air out. They are matched to the front winged windows.
And remember that was an era whith lots of smoking....
Exactly. Its a return for the air because of air pressure. Every car has it, but most nowadays have them somewhere out of sight, but I do say those chrome air return vents look great!
Modern cars have similar idea with little rubber flaps ,usually hidden behind rear bumper .Slam the doors on a modern car and the rubber vents open /close automatically. Always though this was for ear comfort when a door is slammed it stops ears from popping
What a beautiful car, and the engine, sounds amazing!
Doug had to know he was entering the realm of satire with this one. He’s reviewing a 1960s car as if he were expecting it to be built to modern standards. Of course he realizes that, and that is part of what makes his reviews great. He is impartial as possible in his judgment regardless of the time period or the brand or whatever.
Maserati and Doug don't go very well together
Pranita Kakde except in this review
Pranita Kakde same with Tesla
They've got him dancing. He's on Maserati's Italian puupeteering strings.
MC12 is gonna make up for it.
+Hot Wheels Garage That is questionable considering the heaps of praises in his Model 3 review
But... does it have panel gaps big enough to fit a tube of toothpaste?
lol
which one was it again?
SpikeGT3000 Which one was *what* again?
which car/episode silly
SpikeGT3000 It was from when he reviewed a 2015 Ghibli S Q4 back in April 2017.
thank you kind sir
The Maserati that Walsh was referring to was his 5000GT (which certainly didn't do 185, but that made the lyric work).
A few of them had race motors in them and could do 185... I'm guessing Joe could afford one of those few rare cars... I think they made 3 iirc
Gorgeous car, truly beautiful, why oh why can't cars be designed like this anymore, the style and wow factor of this original ghibli knocks spots off any modern day maserati, or come to that pretty much any modern day car that springs to mind. Great review Doug I love seeing these old classics being driven, although some of those scores seem a bit harsh, 0-60 in 6.2 secs one of the fastest cars of its day and only deserves 3 of of 10 for acceleration?! Good job you weren't my examiner at college!
Doug is incredibly miserly with acceleration points...I think only drag racers get better than a 5/10 from him.
Another Doug score failure was giving the classic Ghibli styling a mere 8 out of 10! C'mon Doug...are you serious? If this doesn't earn a perfect 10, what the hell does?
Doug: a dude who drives a sophisticated badass car, but still dresses basic af, and orders his burgers with only meat/cheese, and genuinely enjoys Nickel Back. Anyone els get that vibe lol?

My favourite film you have ever done! BRAVO sir. BRAVO
I am currently making a 3D model of this jewel of a car and you helped me out by doing a lot of close-up images on details and interior parts I could not find anywhere else :) Cheers :)
6.2 seconds to 60 is actually really fast for its time. Also compared to the other classics Doug reviewed in Dubai, so far. I thought Doug would mention this in some way.
it's fast even now
6.2 is super fast even for new cars, in 1970 was like 2.5 sec today
my 2009 skoda does something like 14 seconds to 60 xD
@@v_stands_for_value124 More like 4.5 seconds today. Many of the V8 muscle cars of the time could do 0-60 in the 6-7 second range. A Shelby Cobra 427, however, could do 0-60 in under 4.5 seconds in 1966.
@@Epotheros nobody cares about the 0-60 because every muscle struggles for traction but once it gets going pulls like a train
Doug the type of guy to fly to Dubai and back to Philadelphia for each review...
He probably filmed 20 while he was there and is slowly releasing them to keep us in suspense as to what is next.
Harambe lol it was a joke...
Some people are challenged by breathing and blinking at the same time challenger. Me thinks Harambe be one of them lol.
I remember seeing a photo of this car (in red) in one of the car magazines in 1967 and I loved it! Thought it was probably one of the most beautiful cars around [then, of course].
5 years later, the turn signal is still flashing. Legend has it that it is the most reliable component of any Italian car ever built.
hahahaha deadass

You forgot the oddest feature of all- the cable driven water pump. I'll let you all wonder about that. Drove my 1970 Ghibli from Bremerhaven to Monte Carlo in one day. Guzzled gas like crazy, steered like a Studebaker truck in city traffic , but was light as a feather at 130. Styling is a 10, one of the most beautiful cars ever built, too bad that one was in blue/blue, mine was red with cream leather interior.

Hey Doug. Nice review.
For your information. The function of the trip meter that you so humorously point out was the common way trip meters worked on almost all European cars in that era. Never having owned an American car I cannot say how they did it. But all my Jags and MG's had trip meters that functioned as you described. Nothing unusual there.

PS: My 71 Suzuki 750 motor cycle trip meter was like that. d
1:34 I thought Doug was going go full savage
P.S this masterpiece of a car makes me hate the new Ghibli even more, what a waste of iconic Italian brand
That's probably the closest he comes to cursing IRL.
I'm pretty sure he did swear in some older videos. The one I saw was about his skyline r32 but it was on a different channel. It was like near the end of the video in the bloopers.

The vent is probably for cigarette smoke
EqualVent my first thought as well
The vent helped defog the windshield. It also let you get some fresh air without messing up your hair.
They were phased out across the entire industry during the 70's.
thats surprisingly handy, i'd imagine a male or female who spent a lot of time doing their hair up wouldnt want it getting bullied by the wind
or pot and hash smoke....
Boy was the 70s was a time to be alive
Only "romantic feelings"... This is a truely bad car! Nice - but thats it... ;)
Doug you are awesome. I love your videos on cars.
1972 Ghibbli SS. My father had one when i was a child. Divorce = Dad and his car gone. I never meet him again but then, around 2010, i see a Ghibbli SS for sale and understand that this is my fricking fathers old car. I bought it and did spend a wast amount of hours, mostly in phone with Italy and did start to make advanced plans on how to erase the country from the map... Now she stands in the garage and gets a tour once a week. With Dark silver metallic paint and dark mate red skin interior. Its the most beautifull GT car ever buildt. ( My opinion )
Cool story, Urb. Sorry about the thing with your dad.
We must be about the same age. You’re comment made me think back to that time and how seeing, letting alone driving one of these old classics ( also , the smell of these old interiors is unique also) takes a person right back to one’s childhood.
My parents divorced and while I did see my father again, I was subsequently raised by my grandparents. But both my old man and grandfather were car guys. Grandpa had a six car garage with some classics sailing in and out of there and tinkering around with these as a young boy with him were always good memories.
Like the Alex Gray avatar btw. God Bless.
Wow, what a jerk. Not sure I'd want a reminder of someone who didn't care about me even a little, even if it was in the form of a sexy Italian supercar.
Urb I agree, Ghibli is really beautiful
Urb still in the map then
Classic Doug sleeve, always spilling that white undershirt.
Magnificent styling by Giugiaro.
Giugiaro definitely isn’t Gandini, don’t understand how Doug got it wrong
