Another Randy Classic - he’s got more Chrome than Google.
Beautiful Chrysler! Thanks Lou and Randy.
Hi Jeff, "He's go more Chrome than Google" NICE ! My pleasure sharing with you. You're welcome, Lou
This summer I was up on a tiny island in Maine and in the very small town there just happened to be a complete and untouched '59 New Yorker sitting in one of the alleys. Made my day
Hi Alec, Happy to read this car brings back memories of the car in Maine :-) Thank you for viewing and sharing, Lou
Thanks, not many 1959 s left, our 1959 STATION WAGON started rusting quick, abdvare BIG, see my comments
Randy is an interesting guy with a great sense of humor. He has an extensive collection and this one provides him with a nice looking driver. He obviously is enjoying life. Great MCS!
Hi Bill, Happy to read you enjoy Randy on the Channel :-) Me too, Lou
Another cool car from randy i also like that mariachi ornament on the back of the car
Hi Tuckyonald, Happy to share a cool car from Randy's collection with you :-) Lou
Quite a fun video with a beautiful car. Randy is as much a treasure as his cars. I'm stealing his "I'm not chubby, but I have a friend who is".
Hi Carmudgeon, Happy to read you had fun with this video :-) That's what the goal is! Lou
Really enjoy touring Randy's finned classics. This '59 was extra sweet. Love the chirp!
Hi Delray, Happy to read this one is "extra sweet" :-) Good news! Randy has more to share, so stay tuned, Lou
Absolutely beautiful car. Thank you Lou for bringing it to us.
Hi Jimmy, Happy to read you enjoy the looks of this car :-) You're welcome, Lou
From about 1955 through the very early 60s, Virgil Exner and Harley Earl took American car
design to levels no one could have ever imagined. This New Yorker is a perfect example of
Exner's handiwork...too much of a good thing was just the ticket in 1959. While Ford built
many fine cars during this time period, compared to GM and Chrysler, their styling was almost
boring by comparison. The exception was limited to Lincoln and Mercury...who were producing
some of the weirdest looking cars EVER! As the years go by, my appreciation for cars of this
era only grows...modern cars may be techno wonders, but they lack the 'personality' that this
wonderful old Chrysler has in droves. Great video, Lou!
Hi Strange Daze, Thank you for viewing and sharing. Appreciate the kind words on the video, Lou
Thanks for putting Virgil Exner and Harley Earl in the same sentence, as I've usually got those two confused!
Just WOW!!! Those old 413s were something else.
Hi Kelly, Happy to read "Just WOW!!!" :-) Lou
A true classic of the 1950,s,unique style and design
Hi Pranil, Thank you for viewing and sharing, Lou
Another beauty featured on Lou's channel. We are getting so spoiled!
Hi Carroll, I aim to please :-) Lou

You're right :-)

NICE motorTranz :-) You're welcome. Lou
Thank you Lou for another great episode, and thank you Randy!
Hi Mikey B, Appreciate the kind words on this episode :-) You're welcome, Lou
I was brought home from the hospital in 1960 in Dad's `59 New Yorker 4dr. hardtop. two-tone blue and loaded. We had that until I entered kindergarten in `65. Always loved that car.
Hi W Fox, Happy to read this one brings back memories of Dads New Yorker :-) Lou
Absolute King of The Road. You'll not see anything else to match it in style and class when you're out cruising in this New Yorker.
As always Lou, excellent presentation, thanks.
High praise for the "King of The Road" Mighty Lonesome :-) You're welcome, Lou
This gentleman certainly has a wonderful collection of cars. Restoring them must really be a challenge.
Hi Dave, Stay tuned, Randy has more to share, Lou
I'm 25 miles outside the Twin Cities, but grew up there. Man, look Lou, I really appreciate the videos you do with this gentleman. Really neat collection.
Hi R J, Happy to read this car is not too far from you :-) Good news! Randy has more cars to share, so stay tuned, Lou
"What's the weight? with me in it ? probably double " that's a great comeback ! Love the '59 New Yorker! Cool 2nd gear, too.! We had a 63 N.Yorker, 413 ,I remember it being pretty fast also ! Thanks to Randy ,and Lou ! Great ride. !
Hi Kevin, "What's the weight?" A LOT! Happy to read you "Love" this car. You're welcome, Lou
*Hi, If you like this video, please click on the 🤍 THANKS button under the video title" Thank you! Lou*
Another beautiful car Lou. I wonder if 2 door hardtop police cars were pretty rare back then? My grandmother had a 56 Chrysler New Yorker that was pink and white. That was when my dad was little. He used to get up front and play with the push button transmission when granny wasn't looking.
I believe the highway patrol used them
Hi PlymouthDuster225, Happy to read you enjoy the looks of this car :-) Glad to read this one brings back memories of your Grandmothers car, Lou
wow .. awesome car... I counted 9 factory Lions not including the inside door Lion he put on for cosmetics ... great detailed interview Lou with the owner, a nice guy .. thank you Lou ... grateful
Hi Noel, Happy to read "wow .. awesome car" :-) My pleasure sharing with you, and you're welcome, Lou
Exceedingly rare car as only 2,435 units of this New Yorker coupe were produced. The same 126-inch wheelbase was also used by the 300-E, and the cheaper Chrysler Windsor, Saratoga, and senior DeSoto models. First major restyling after the acclaimed 1957 Chrysler...the follow up 1960 Chryslers had new unit bodies with revised styling. The 1959 Chryslers had unique one-year only design elements and low overall production.
Thank you for viewing and sharing your knowledge.
What a great car Lou!! Love these 50s Chryslers!! Interesting that this is a New Yorker with no power windows - although it does have power seats.
Hi Tiger, High praise :-) My pleasure sharing this car with you, Lou
I saw a video not long ago of a beautifully restored 1962 Imperial 2door that had NO power buttons at all. Not only were the vent windows manual so we're the side windows. It had a straight bench seat with a hand yanker and you had to pull up the radio antenna. Hell, they could've gotten a Dodge 880 and saved a few bucks
@@tracy4good A car like this with hand-yank windows is like a Corvette with an automatic transmission. It's a beautiful car, but that's a deal breaker.
Hey @Lou - fantastic interview - Randy seems to be a great guy - the car is a blast! Have a great weekend/
Hey @Peter - Happy to read you enjoy this interview :-) Wishing you a great weekend too, Lou
Magnificent Mopar. I love Randy's collection and sense of humor. Thank you both for another great episode.
Hi David, High praise. Happy to read you enjoy Randy's humor :-) You're welcome, Lou
It’s a beauty. Love that carb sucking in air sound and that solid shift into third after the kick-down in to second.
Hi Electric Hellion, Happy to read you enjoy the looks of this car :-) Lou
Beautiful '59 Chrysler gentlemen, certainly rare and original despite the color change. Randy's collection is amazing! Thanks guys 👍
Hi Bruce H, Happy to read you enjoy the looks of this car :-) You're welcome, Lou
Yeah Lou! What's not to love about this vid, we got history, we got 'eye candy', AND tire chirp for the icing on the cake! Thanks Randy and Lou!!
Yeah lonnyjaw, Happy to read you enjoy this video :-) You're welcome, Lou
Love it...scratch on the second to third shift! Beautiful car with the wonderful 413/torqueflite combo.
Hi Luke, Happy to read "Love it" :-) Lou
The taillights on this beauty have much more than a suggestion of the 1955 Chrysler! Sweet ride.
Thanks for sharing what you notice.
Lou, that guy has a great collection of Mopars, a great show .👍👍
Philip, My pleasure sharing Randy's collection with you. Good news! There are more, so stay tuned, Lou
The forward look tops everything else the world produced in the 1950s. Here’s to Virgil Exner 🥂🥂🥂 where ever he is. Love from New Delhi, India
Hi Mirch, High praise for this design :-) Lou
Another awesome 🇺🇸classic this man has the fins! Thanks for the story
Hi David, Happy to read you enjoy this US Classic :-) You're welcome, Lou
Awesome car. Even more awesome is Randy. I like him more every time he is in one of these videos with Lou.
Hi Sabba_Dabba, Happy to read you enjoy this "Awesome car" :-) High praise for Randy, Lou

Hi TheGunfighter45acp, Happy to read "Awesome!" :-) My pleasure sharing this one with you. You're welcome, Lou
Love the light above the glove box Lou
Thank you for sharing the details you enjoy Paul :-)
That's a great car to show, Lou and very original as well. Too many people call Red Mopars "Christine." They need to get educated. It cannot be a Christine unless it's a Plymouth! Thank you for showing!
Hi Jed, Happy to read "That's a great car to show" :-) You're welcome, Lou
My Dad had this same car in 1973. One day a truck locked bumpers with us. We were in the right lane and he was in the left. It was one of the roads where the right lane was not entirely flat so we were at an angle. The guy in the truck strayed into our lane and his front right bumper slid under our back left bumper. We both pulled over and inspected the damage. His bumper on the truck was bent and pulled out about 20 degrees. There was not even a dent on my Dad's bumper. Those cars from the 50s were build strong.

A second gear chirp. SURPRISING!
Agreed.
The 1959 Chrysler New Yorker is a millionaire's bright red dream 🚗 car. More luxurious than a Cadillac. Go New Yorker! (Since it was originally a police car, I would have left it shiny dark interceptor blue). Thanks for the video and luxurious ride.
Hi Juan, Happy to share this "luxurious ride" with you :-) You're welcome, Lou
Lovely. I would love to see more videos about this gentleman's car garage. So many beautiful cars.
Good news Peter! All his cars are on this Channel! So if you see one you like in the background CZcams search "My Car Story with Lou Chrysler 300" as an Example and Randy's car should show up. Here is one more for you, Lou czcams.com/video/JeKSWiwSPTc/video.html
Gotta love the Jiffy Jet

Impresionante estuvo este Chrysler New Yorker del 59! En verdad que todas sus piezas y cromados demuestran la exquisita mano de obra de este vehículo. Además, gracias a la toma que hiciste, se pudo apreciar mejor esas elegantes líneas cromadas que pasaban a lo largo y ancho del techo! Se nota que el propietario tiene una excelente colección de clásicos de los 50's. ¡Saludos cordiales Lou!
Hi Jaime, Happy to read this one is impressive :-) Lou
That's the first one I have seen it's commands respect Randy never disappointed me yet

Wow ,I was thinking the same thing about this resembling Christine & you mentioned it.Good timing, sweet looking bubble top but I love his convertibles.
Hi Richard, Happy to read you enjoy the looks of this car :-) Stay tuned, Randy has more to share, Lou
Fantastic car!! That has to be an interesting story on how a police chief wound up with a New Yorker 2-Dor hardtop. He must have had incriminating pictures of the mayor.
Happy to read "Fantastic car!!" :-)
This is great, Lou !
Not only a great car but a great memory,,,
I can't recall the last time i saw a 413 car but this is a beaut,,,,Driver ? Yeah !!
Memory, Beach Boys and Shut Down.
FI SR and a 413.
The Chevy prob had a weight advantage ;)
Roll On, Lou !!
Hi Glen, Happy to read "This is great" :-) My pleasure sharing with you, Lou
How many Mopars does Randy Geyer own? Every single one you've featured so far were awesome! These old classics are extremely rare, and that New Yorker has a nice 2nd gear chirp! That 413 sounds phenomenal! What an impressive Mopar collection! Just out of curiosity, how many does Randy have in his collection?
14 and growing so far
Hi Michael, Stay tuned, he has more awesome ones :-) Lou
Incredible how we used to make cars. Gotta be at least 4800 pounds. Beautiful 413, sound and performance
Hi Paul, Happy to read you enjoy the looks of this car :-) Lou
Love this car . I'm always looking for a 4 door 1957 Chrysler Saratoga , my Dad had one , never see any pics or review's on them . My Dad's was black on black . Thanks Lue ...
Hi rudy52350, Happy to read this car brings back memories of your Dads car :-) Thank you for viewing and sharing, Lou
I never miss a Lou Costabile video, and I'm beginning to think everybody in America has a 57-59 Fury\Belvedere\Savoy except me 😁
But now maybe I will hunt down a late 50s New Yorker.
Hi scavengerspc, Happy to read you've been so loyal as a Viewer. Thank you. Hope you're behind the wheel of the right car for you soon, Lou
No one did styling like Virgil
Thank you for sharing.
Back to Randy's! That is one blessed hombre, eh? Ahaha.
We're in love with this ex cop car! A Beauty :) ..the police really knew how to dial in a distributor & carburetor, I tell ya.
Seems this NY still is blessed with a bit of that! Plenty of king of the jungle torque!
Thanks tons, Lou for the fabulous car tours..we dig how you stop & give looks of the many details on these classic cruisers..the badging & fabrics & all. Super! 💛
Hi Tom, Ahhh, nice to be back :-) Lou
@@loucostabile Yeah, I bet! That garage is akin to when we were kids & went to a big candy store, ahaha!
A Blood Clot on four wheels! Love it from someone on Xarelto!😉

Awesome car!
Hi Bob, Happy to read you enjoy this "Awesome car!" :-) Lou
‘That baby’s got back.’ 😅Yeah Lou, those ‘59 Chrysler cars had some massive double bumper pieces.😳…Looks like you’re in the Lion’s den guys; be careful!😄🦁🦁🦁🦁

Hi Ronald, High praise :-) Glad you're along for the ride, Lou
Kinda wished the spotlights from its police days wasn’t deleted. Wouldn’t be a stretch to add them back I imagine. Also made the Christine connection as they’re both Mopar and look very similar at a distance.
Thanks for viewing and sharing.
It's Christine's sister lol great car Lou
:-)
Her big sister.
@@danielulz1640 Would be good to see them together
Awesome! I just wanted mention if it would be possible to get a quick view of the rear view window as your joyriding ? Due to the fact that most of us were kids in the back seat and that was our view to look back and see the fins . Thanks
Hi lkmsl, Happy to read "Awesome!" :-) Seeing fins are a good idea. You're welcome, Lou
Hey Lou Ivan J here again the dude certainly & surely knows how to pick which Chrysler 2 choose again the big 3 certainly were in their hey day so far i counted a 12 or more Lions on that awesome cruiser man what a ride to bad when they brought the car it should have been fully loaded to the max with power everything if it was going to be for a police official ride but that’s ok he is pretty very lucky to come across and own quite a car. Ivan J
Hey Ivan J, Happy to read you enjoy Randy's picks :-) Lou
I wouldn't mind that for my driver vehicle.
Thanks 👍
Hi Gary, This is a good one :-) You're welcome, Lou
I have a friend who wishes all cars had swivel seats too
Nice option to have.
Hey Lou, really great video. They used to have the Golden Lion 413 I think it’s a Cross Ram but it might be a staggered dual quad setup. Also does your friend have a Golden Lion which I know are very rare. Thank You 🙏 and God Bless!!
Hey Big Mountain, Randy does not have a Golden Lion...yet :-) Blessings receive, God bless you, and you're welcome, Lou
Do we have more videos of Randy’s cars? Looks like he has a great collection!
Hi John, Yes, all of Randy's car have been videoed and are uploaded for you to see, Lou
This was the time when Amrican Car were made 👌.
We got 1978 nice looking Newyorker..
We had to change the engine after one year and half.
That year 1978 was 🤐😒
Hi Adrian, Happy to read this brings back memories of your New Yorker :-) Lou
Good very good ❤😂👍👍👍👍👍😅.
Happy to read you enjoy the looks of this car :-)
Bought a 1959 Chrysler Windsor four door sedan this summer
Congratulations !
@@loucostabile Yeah The engine was seized broke it free and pulled the heads now I am pulling the engine from the car I bought it this summer from a huge caddiliac collector for 1,500 got a really good deal on it because he thought it was really cool that I was 15 and liked old fin cars.
👀 this one
:-)
👍👍👍👍👍👍
:-)
I’m getting Christine vibes from this beauty…
:-)
Great old car. Thanks for sharing this beast with us, Lou. You're still worrying me, though. You seem to want to grab everything you see and I live in fear that one day something is going to break off in your hand! Like when you snatched that rear ash tray and opened and shut it. I cringed! That stuff is OLD, Lou! Don't handle it! PLEASE! If that was my Chrysler and you did that, I would've smacked you in the back of the head! LOL! All the best, my friend! ---Jim
Hi Jim, Faith my Friend, rather than f.e.a.r. (False Evidence Appearing Real). I'm careful, and these are cars, they were meant to be driven, knobs were meant to be pulled, and brochures were meant to be opened. Regarding "I would've smacked you in the back of the head!"...I own a martial art company for 40+ years, so if you smack me in the back of the head my reactions would be to defend myself.....and......YOU DON"T WANT THAT :-) Stay well my Friend! ---Lou
@@loucostabile : All right then, go ahead. But don't come crying to me the day you pick up a brochure and learn the hard way that time has dry-rotted it. And when Bubba counters your "martial" with a "tire tool," don't complain. I'll try to remain calm, but I have a sneaky feeling I'll continue to tremble and cringe. LOL! Seriously though, I thoroughly enjoy your videos. You bring precious memories to life for us. Keep up the great work, Lou! ---Jim
Thanks, good 1959 MOPAR, ETC. INTERESTINGLY, my driver At AGE* 15 was. *1959 DODGE CORONET STATION WAGON / Push** button/ v8*??( Oddly never got into “much “interest in this 1959 ,Car)etc:: luckily my Father found a 1954 Ford **v 8(* 57 ENGINE/4 BBL/ Dual exh/ Gauges,mild custom) ****for me to use Working, Dating** : fitting right into SERVICE STATION HANGOUTS, DRAG RACING ,…(😄😄) .

Father had a 59 Windsor that I don’t the mirror on the dashboard of a car passed it on the right hand side the mirror with twitch toward the car if you passed it on the left-hand side the mirrors that sit on the dashboard the mirror with twitch that way it had a vent on the vents on the dashboard that would raise up

How did the auto industry go from make beautiful land yachts like this, to boring people movers? I miss my 1966 Chrysler 300 I owned in the mid 90's as a daily driver. It drank fuel, as I was a lead foot age 21.

You can sum up what happened to all American cars in one statement. The 1973 oil crisis. Detroit has never recovered from that. The industry starts nailing down model years on average 4 to 5 years in advance and therefore weren't able to turn on a dime. And I also lay some of the blame on the American car buying public. Once the imports took hold, meaning Americans were buying them, they turned there backs to the Big Three and never looked back. Before the crisis, the Big Three supplied 90% of worldwide sales, and GM had the lion's share of that. Not me! Since I have US auto Industry in my blood through it all, I have never never have not bought American, and that breaks down to 99% Fords and the 1% goes to Chrysler. But as I said my family only owned Chryslers for over 30 years. It just kills me to be the only guy at an intersection that is well, me. It's just me and my Explorer. We loved the American cars from the late 40s until the crisis in 73. Upto that time Detroit was building the cars we wanted. Then all of a sudden we no longer wanted them, and on top of that, the American car buying public just wasn't buying American cars, but over their favorite adult beverages, they would bash Detroit to the death, actually killed Detroit. Detroit built good cars the way we wanted them. The auto industry was in a true death spiral. I say we needed to stand with them, to give them our loyalty as we always had. I would have provided Detroit to start investing into the cars we now want. Like me. I have loved every single Ford I ever owned. I would change the oil, do other required maintenance, and all my Fords were 13:20 over 200,000 miles or close. Not one ever let me down. Ever trip we took, we came in the same car and always had fun in our Fords. Since Henry Ford built over 15 million Fords on the road, I believe that driving a 13:20 Ford, the Cosmos is with me. And I'm very good with that. OK I'll stop here, before I start a parade. HeHeHe
