ENJOY! - Auta a dopravní prostředky
Hard to believe that this was a culmination of two cars, this one looks original. What a great restoration job. Save them all.
Hi J skrachvynl, Thank you for viewing and sharing your thoughts. Hope you see many more cars on this CZcams Channel you enjoy. Lou
Another fine example of a beauty from the sixties. I love how people take such great care of history for next generations to appreciate. And Thanks for bringing it to us Lou.
Hi Randy, Happy to read you appreciate this car :-) Thank you for viewing, sharing and you're welcome, Lou
Man, the Chryslers were wild looking back then. That dash and gauge cluster is amaxzing. Thanks for sharing.
Hu Russell, Happy to share this car with you :-) You're welcome, Lou
Next to my 1961 Cadillac, the ‘61 New Yorker is my favorite finned era car. Long canted fins, well into the door panels, canted headlights, and mock spare tire on trunk lid. 1961 was also the last great year for fins. Frank’s classic car collection is unsurpassed. Merry Christmas Lou!🎄✌️
Hi Ramon, Happy to read this one is a favorite finned era car of yours :-) My pleasure sharing this one with you. Merry Christmas, Lou
A big red Chrysler on Christmas day that makes the birds sing. Thanks for a year of the coolest cars Lou.
Hi FUBAR Model Yard, A Red Sled for Christmas :-) My pleasure sharing with you, and you're welcome, Lou
What a beautiful symbol of style! Old Chryslers, and related MOPARS, are my absolute favorites of mid-century design & creativity. Thanks Lou & Frank for a Christmas morning present!
Hi Rusty, High praise for the design of this car :-) You're welcome, and Merry Christmas, Lou
"Even the songbirds sing when they see this one". good one, Lou. Oh and so is the car - Red and Whitewalls on Christmas morning. Amazing and a jewel. Thanks and happy Christmas.
Hi Bruce H., Happy to share this "Amazing and a jewel" car with you :-) You're welcome, and Merry Christmas, Lou
Santa gave me a keen set of Bluetooth earbuds to enjoy your features from now on Lou! You've never sounded better! What a "sleigh" Frank has. Just fabulous! Thanks Lou!
Hi Brian SD, Happy to read you'll be listening to more fun episodes :-) You're welcome, Lou
Frank has a fantastic collection.
Hi Gary, Agreed. Happy to share his collection with you, Lou
The '61 Chrysler is just amazingly nice! thanks Frank & Lou for sharing!
Hi Floyd T, Happy to read this car is "amazingly nice" :-) You're welcome, Lou
Everything Chrysler Corporation is my favorite and this work of art is totally over the top. Thanks Lou
Hi Chris, Happy to read you enjoy this "work of art" :-) You're welcome, Lou
Nice, red, Christmas morning surprise!!!! My favorite years of insanity design by Chrysler. I love this era. They were unique in everyway including performance. Fun fact, the producers of Mad Men, even recognized the cultural significance of Chrysler design of the era. Nothing says early 60's like Chryslers..... Ben Draper drove a 60, Dodge, Matador, from what I could tell, in the first season. LOL! "If you want to go somewhere fast, you drive a Dodge. If you've already arrived, you own a Cadillac." My favorite quote from Mad men about cars of the mid 60's. In the back of my mind, I wondered if Don was thinking Imperial or Cadillac. LOL! Thanks Lou. These cars are so unappreciated and rare. You are really the only car guy who features these works of art!!
Hi Chuck, Happy to share this Christmas sleigh with you :-) My pleasure sharing with you, and you're welcome, Lou
Beautiful car. Thanks for sharing guys.
Happy to read you enjoy the looks of this car :-) You're welcome Big Charlie's Model Garage
Stunning New Yorker - thanks Lou and Frank. Frank is spot on about the demo derbies- full size Mopar wagons were always tough to take out.
Thanks for another great video and car review.
Hi Jeff, Happy to read this one is "Stunning" :-) I think so too. You're welcome, Lou
Love the 60 and 61 New Yorker!!!!!!!!!!! GREAT!!!
NICE!
I was so excited to wake up with a Christmas present from Lou on my phone... thank you Lou 👏👏🎅🎅
Hi Andy, Happy to share this Red Sled with you on Christmas :-) You're welcome, Lou
I love the fins on this car but man that dash takes the cake it’s awesome.
Hi Josh, Happy to read the details you enjoy, Lou
Man...I gotta get busy on my 61 NewYorker two door hard top after watching this!
Hi Jay, Happy to read this video helps inspire you. Lou
We all love these Chrysler 300's and like Franks New Yorker be they convertibles, wagons or hardtops with their Exner fins and the Astrodome dash. But in those days, 60 years ago, as Frank said, they were never meant to last, though we look back on those days with amazement at the design and sculpture. 100,000 miles without rust proofing or the engineering tolerances of today, they were soon in the wreckers yard.
Thanks for showing us this amazing restoration and conservation of over $100,000 well spent...if you can afford it. Merry Christmas from Australia.
Hi Mike, Happy to share these treasures with you :-) Merry Christmas, Lou
Goodday Lou,
Frank just never disappoints.
Frank should get an award for saving these beautiful old big Chrysler's, even if it takes 2 cars to make one.
What's there not to love, absolutely gorgeous all round, beautiful cruiser.
Nice tip at the end, there is no price on happiness & Frank is happy.

Btw, love the Trunk Treats - I have a soft spot for old brochures!
Frank is great at finding them for us to enjoy :-)
When old cars died because they don't make them in the factories anymore they bring back to life when it comes to rebuilding to get back on the road in spirit these wonderful cars in spirit will never die classics old muscle hot rods on the road to this day
Hi Jonathan, If you enjoy the "spirit" of the cars of yesteryear then you're on the right Channel :-) Lou
Thanks Lou but it's the truth
Absolutely brilliant car! Really awesome classic Mopar. That "Push button" automatic is so cool. And the "Golden Lion" power... Wow!
Hi Plymouth Die-Cast Replicas, High praise for this car :-) Lou
What a gorgeous car and it will be so much fun to drive in any season!
Hi Brock, Happy to read you enjoy the looks of this car :-) Lou
Another beautiful Chrysler from Frank Mr. Mopar! Happy Holidays to you both and thanks for videos 😊
This car sure has a good Car Story - saved from the salvage yard and restored to former glory.
Hi David, My pleasure sharing this car with you. You're welcome, and Happy Holidays, Lou
Love the whole car, but most especially the "Astro-Dome" cluster with the electroluminescent lighting! These cars were known as the "Banker's Hot Rods", in that it was engineered as a HOT full size performance car, but understatedly elegant. You'd never be embarrassed pulling up to the valet stand at the Country Club in this car, and you'd still be able to beat most everything away from a stoplight!
Hi Jeffrey, That dash is pretty cool :-) A great car for sure, Lou
Yet another Fintastic find Lou.😁 Frank thanks for being to caretaker and preserver of these magnificent vehicles. Merry Christmas 🎄☃️ to all!
Hi X K, You're right, this one is fintastic :-) Merry Christmas, Lou
The seat planted in that chrome trim looks extra fine!
Thanks for viewing & sharing.
Beautiful car Lou, thanks for showing it. Those fins are humongous, they start midway in the doors. Wow! The roof on the hardtop models is an amazing design that really makes the car stand out.
Hi Randall, Happy to read the details you notice on this car :-) You're welcome, Lou
One of the beautiful years for Chrysler. At this time my family owned nothing but Chrysler products. They really rusted out quickly in snow areas.

First to comment !! Merry Christmas Lou ( and Frank ) love the old Chryslers & any old mopar ! We have had a 63, 66 & 72 , with a few Newports in between. ! I have Chrysler blood in my veins ( and history) what a beautiful example, Frank !! Thanks to you also ,Lou !
Hi Kevin, Happy to read you're 1st :-) Glad to read you've had some great cars too! You're welcome, Lou
Merry Christmas, Lou! It's nice to see Mr. Troost again and another beauty from his collection. I agree, even the song birds and the demo derby folks, like these lovely New Yorkers, too.
Hi TheGunfighter45acp, Happy to read you enjoy this beauty :-) Merry Christmas, Lou
Lou, yet another great segment. A real Christmas treat. Thank you for sharing these classic cars with us and your extended network like Frank and his 1961 New Yorker. Frank, you have a real special car there. Have a happy new year.
Hi Kevin, Happy to share this Red Sled on Christmas with you :-) Happy New Year, Lou
Hi, Lou! Merry Christmas! 1961 was the last year Chrysler made a New Yorker convertible. It wasn't cheap, $4,592 to start, and just 576 built, although the 300G cost far more, $5,841 and 337 built. So many interesting features that grab your attention on this car: the cocked headlamps, the raised driver's seat back, those high-flying fins (the last year Chryslers would have them), and, lest we forget, that Astrodome instrument panel and the way it lights up at night. BTW, 1961 was also the first year for the Newport series, with which the Chrysler brand was looking to reach into a somewhat lower price territory without bringing out a smaller car that they felt would compromise the brand's image of being big and powerful. "No junior editions", as the ads said. It was also the last year for the Windsor, which had previously been the entry level series, and would be replaced by the "non-letter" 300 series for 1962.
Let me tell you of another interesting experience I had with a '61 Chrysler. First off, I should make note that the boomerang taillights that were mounted in the fins of the 1960 Chryslers were retained for the '61 Town & Country wagons. One of our most loyal members in the International Station Wagon Club (who is also from Illinois) has two '61 T&Cs, one a Newport and the other a New Yorker. One time during one of our conventions I got to ride with him in the front seat of one of them, and when he signaled a left turn I could actually see the taillight blinking from where I was sitting!
Thanks to Frank for sharing this rare gem from his vast collection and to both of you for another fine presentation!
The boomerang taillights used on Chrysler's wagons in '60, and again in '61,differed from those on all the other '60 Chrysler models in that they screwed on from the outside, since the wagons' body style didn't provide the same inside access as did the coupes, convertibles and sedans.
Hi iswc27, Happy to read you appreciate this "rare gem" :-) Thank you for sharing your experience. Merry Christmas, Lou
Thanks for another jewel... I moved from the USA 6 yrars ago to a carribean island.. Dominican Republic.. no old american cars here.. merry christmas.. its 84 drgrees today..
Hi Yesenia Krueger, Happy to share this "jewel" with you :-) Glad you're in a warm place. Merry Christmas, Lou
Frank, I love pig mats & sold a lot of them to certain customers in the autobody & painting business. They work great !! Love the video, Lou !
Hi Kevin, Happy to read you love the video & the pig mats :-) Lou
Merry Christmas Lou to you and your family! The "61 Chrysler and "61 DeSoto are my favorite Virgil Exner designs. The last of the "finned" Chryslers. Thanks for posting. Have a blessed day!
Hi Gerry, Happy to read the 61 is a favorite of yours :-) Blessings received, God bless you, and Merry Christmas, Lou
My big brother always called them "rag tops" I turned 7 in 1961. Neighbor had a white hardtop they bought used in 1965. I got a picture of their son and me standing alongside of it in their driveway.

@@loucostabile Subscribed to you Sir. Great channel. Had an interest in cars since I could remember. Must have had fifty model kits I made over the years as a boy.
With 2 little brothers they did not last long, but the fun of it was in the making of them.
Another beautiful Mopar from Frank. Thank you Lou. Have a blessed Christmas.
Hi motorTranz, Happy to share this one with you. Blessings received, you're welcome, God bless you, and Merry Christmas, Lou
Great car, these cars were under appreciated when they were new. I remember seeing Imperials running in the demo derbys before they were outlawed. I seen one go through the heat and win the feature and they never even broke the taillights!
Yes ,they were lethal weapons ( tanks ) , but great cars .!!
Hi Grant, Sounds like this car brings back fun demo derbys :-) Thanks for viewing and sharing, Lou
Merry Christmas Lou! I cringe when I used to be so headstrong about GM cars and put down Mopars/Independents. I came to find that they're all gorgeous cars. My favorite being the 1957 Plymouth Fury. The lower sleek look of these cars are unique and actually much more modern than GM offerings. I surely do not recall seeing anything close to this car at shows. I applaud all involved to resurrect this rare machine. Breathtaking.
Hi Joseph, Happy this one was saved, and glad to share it with you. Merry Christmas, Lou
Wow! Now i know why i never saw one before ! ;-) Beautiful Restoration is an understatement !! Awesome!
Hi Dan, Happy to receive a "Wow!" from you. Glad to read you appreciate the restoration effort on this car, Lou
Great car, my neighbor hd a 1961 2 dr hard top in 1964, another great video. thanks

The chief designers at Chrysler 59 through 63 were absolutely uninhibited!
This all American beauty looks like it was conceived while watching an episode of Buck Rogers!
That instrument panel alone cry’s out, FLY ME!
413 huh?
Maybe it could have flew!

Hi TCT9MM, Happy to read you enjoy the design of this car :-) Happy Holidays, Lou
Another one of Frank's gorgeous and unique Chrysler's. i always enjoy Frank and his stories on his cars and his knowledge of Chrysler's and their products. I would love to see his collection up close they are just awesome too bad I live so far away. Such a nice man he is and his love for his cars warms my heart. Just a awesome person and this car was suited for that red color! I agree with Frank I like the cloth tops much better i would not buy one without it. And he is right on the air compressors they do go bad there where he said I have had that same thing on my Chrysler's. Just a awesome video Lou and Thanks as always for sharing with us I really enjoyed this!!
Hi Steve, Frank has great cars & stories and fun when I share one of his cars :-) My pleasure sharing with you, and you're welcome, Lou
I am in the Chicago area. If you or anyone else would like to see my collection. contact me at frank.troost@troost.com
The 60's, when everything had a cool name, golden lion V8, Astrodome and did you notice the trans, heater and radio buttons were all the same, attention to detail that's not paid to today. Toilet seat!,All right not every thing had a cool name! Beautiful car.
Hi Richard, Happy to read you enjoy the looks of this car. I think you're right, there were some cool names that have been lost on many of todays cars, Lou P.S. What is a Lincoln MKC?.....and I have one!
This Chrysler New Yorker will now and forever be - The 2020 Christmas Car! I guess because its red and its Christmas. (heh). Why not? So yeah. A Christmas Car. And its quite possibly the last of its kind making it an amazing treasure! I love this car! The fins are perfect! The front view sez, "The Jetsons" which is way cool. Sehe's a beautiful machine inside & out, runs like a top and so., I'm giving er a full three Wows! Two Thumbz Up! And a Fonzie "Ayyyye!" MERRY CHRISTMAS, LOU! To You and the family!

Wow, Lou! That Chrysler is so beautiful looking, it's hard to believe the owner found it in a junkyard! It looks as if it drove right out of an old television sitcom from the '60s.
One thing I noticed: unless I looked away for a second, I saw the 300G wasn't in the brochure with the other Chryslers! Probably had its own brochure, I'm thinking. Anyway, you don't see cars like this very often today! Merry Christmas 🎄! (12/25/2020)
Hi Geminisixtyfour, Happy to share this car with you :-) You're right, you don't see this one often. Merry Christmas, Lou
I don't think Chrysler included their Letter Cars - at least for '55 thru '63 - in the standard Chrysler brochures. They issued a separate brochure each year for the Letter Cars - done in black and white, for a different effect. Try www.oldcarbrochures.com, to check out some of those brochures.
You tease me with that '60 300F back there.
Hi Tom, Here you go. Enjoy, Lou czcams.com/video/NKqcmW9hy3E/video.html

Omg what a gorgeous New Yorker convertible! Frank is right..all the car shows I've ever been to throughout the years I've never seen a 61 New Yorker convertible. I cannot believe this was a junk yard save! This car looks like it's been babied all its life. Thanks Lou for the link so I could see this video! I'm glad there are people in this world like Frank, who will rescue cars like this and bring them back to their full glory. Thanks for the tip about Pigg mats! I have an older car that leaks a little oil. Are those mats washable I'm assuming? Wished I had known about those mats sooner, I had a horrible oil leak for years all over my garage floor. I think my floor is ruined. Anyone know how I get all the oil up off the floor? Old mops? Rags? I don't even know how to go about it, but I won't lay a new mat down unless I get all that gunk up.

That British TV series wasn't the only thing that is Absolutely Fabulous. What a car! And just think, there's an easy 500 streetable HP available in a stock-appearing motor if you want it. This car has more "design" in its DASHBOARD than any ten modern cars. The "gumball machine" is just a jewel, though my experience with MoPars tells me that dash-mounted rear view mirrors are a crap idea.....

@@loucostabile 😀
hey Lou its me...great car of course but nobody ever talks about why those cars were outlawed from demoderby's. to promote the "seamless" front end look same as the back half, these cars were fenderless having 4 welded in and leaded 1/4 panels making them 5-times stronger, and if that's not enough those Imperials had backset cooling systems far from the front fascia, making them the winner in every derby they entered. oh and those JFK Lincolns were the same real deal holyfield.
Hey Charlotte, Thank you for viewing & sharing your knowledge. Lou
The frame design on those '63/'64/'65 Imperials had *ALOT* to do with the overall strength of 'em though!😉...& the frontend was the weak point of 'em (primarily the tierods/steering). The suicide door Lincoln's weren't/aren't much for strength in the backend (they're ok but not overly great) but they have a killer frontend (if/when done right) on 'em though for sure!👌👍
Cool 👍👍👍👍👍❤😂😅.
Nice :-)
