I cannot for the love of GOD get my door handle/window crank off, any tips

I've always wanted Christine

Love them cars

How are your rockers mine are gone where you were working on that wheel well

Still like to known what city your from . See your from Michigan. A troll ** . Me to being a troll under Saginaw mi or Bay City Michigan area . Mt Morris Michigan I'm from .

Would it be possible to 3D scan the broken piece and replace it some type of plastic

do engines what engines what was last year for flathead six ?

My parents were very conservative so it indeed was a surprise when I came home from a college break to see a new '57 Plymouth in the drive. Four door, cream top and metallic gold bottom with a cream strip running up the side of the body, rear to front. Push button transmission, humongous tail fims, and a V8 engine. That car sure could move. It got a whopping 8 MPG!

Wow, this was very interesting and complete. The tail lamp difference on the wagon model was a surprise. If you had a wagon and needed to replace the lenses, looks like that could be a problem. Have you ever had a "Plodge" in your shop - a Canadian market Dodge model, like Mayfair, which is a Dodge front clip on a Plymouth body. You can just search for "Canadian Dodge Mayfair" and find pictures.

Good to see someone go into things such as differences in molding, body panels etc. Most get stuck on horsepower, cubic inches and how this all compares to a Corvette.

Great metal fab,

Patina sucks.

The difference? One year.

That is my favorite car , 58 that is

1957 Fury!!!

I bet if Mark Worman watched this he was drooling 😂

I was 4 years old in 1958. I really liked cars. I knew the difference between the 1957 and 1958 headlights, valence panel, and tail lights even back then. I disliked the '58 tail lights because I thought the lights should be in the fin. I liked the front ends equally. You pointed out a lot that I didn't know, like the '58 tail lights were supposed to reflect in the upper trim in the fin. Even today I prefer the 1957 and almost can't believe someone would convert one into a '58. As for the wagon, I thought the fins should have been like sedans and hard tops and not been leaning forward. The fins on the wagons never looked right to me. Imagine if other manufacturers had done that, for example a 1957 Chevy wagon with the fins slanted forward on the wagons.

Like the 58 better !

I like the 57 but the 58 is also nice

The '57 and '58 Plymouths shown had the push button automatic selector. Both of these also came with a three speed manual transmission. These had the gear shift attached to a separate shaft below the steering column, making shifting somewhat awkward compared to the competing competition so equipped. Fords had the shift shaft on top of the column. Chevy had theirs inside the column.

You mention that people like to “convert” 57 Plymouths to look like 58’s. I gotta ask - why would anybody do that, when 57’s look so much better? The headlights, taillights, even the hubcaps of a 57 all look better that those same components on a 58.

Plymouth Dodge and Chrysler

I love all the station wagons

It also depends on the motor what size

I like them both

I would like to see you do an episode on 59 Buicks

I'm watching the show of 57 and 58 Plymouth and it's a good learning tool here's another one for you 59 Buick LeSabre and Victor electric and electric 225 four doors and floor pans big difference on all four

the one that WILL be confusing is a fury vs Chrysler Windsor. There used to be a Windsor in one yard and a Fury in the other yard.both ,58 cars. same paint and everything. They didn't look perfectly across each other. But it was confusing.

On the interior shots in the '57 someone has pulled the heater fan knob and put it where the headlight knob should be, leaving the fan control with just the stem sticking out.

A simple 1957 Plaza four door Sedan. My absolute favorite! I'm still on the search!

I am impressed. I thought I knew the differences... but only knew so few. Dad had a new 1958 Belvedere four door hardtop. Turquoise and white with sport tone. It was beautiful. Dad was a deSoto guy, but money was tight in 1958 with the recession our country was experiencing. A strippo deSoto Firesweep was about the same price as the Belvedere, BUT the Belvedere was nicely equipped and trimmed. I was afraid that when I grew up, cars could not be as beautiful. I think I was rightl Still think the 58 deSoto Fireflite was the best styled car ever. What do you think? Thanks for the video.

owned a 57 plymouth beleveder 2 door hardtop from 1977-1986.was in Hot Magazine in August 1984. pg.88 " IT TAKES A FIN'

interesting video ,thank you. didn,t the 1950,s dodge,s sold in canada have the identical tail lights as the plymouth. all the 50,s dodges on tv /movies [ in us] show three round lights in the tail fins. am i correct ? thanks

In 1955-61 they stamped and brought raw steel from Japan. It was a move between the US and UK car manufacturers to help the Japanese steel industry recover from WW2. Chrysler Corp. was the patriotic of the big three and went all in. They had lots of problems. They finally got it sorted out, but it was too late for Chrysler, the damage had been done.

Weren't the 1958s a little bit longer than the 57s?

The MOST obvious difference is the "headlights". The '57 INNER light is a "parking" light only. The he '58 has real DUAL headlights. Plymouth wanted to be ready for when the "duals" would be legal ('58) , so the light hardware appeared on the '57!

I've been a fan of Cold War Motors for some time. Scott has a number of these cars. We've been waiting on his splice-o-rama to complete a 57 and 58 two door Fury or Belvedere ( he has a 59, 60 and 61). We've never been walked through the descriptive differences of these earlier ones. Always knew the difference between a 57 and 58 but not to this detail. Thanks for the informative video.

I've enjoyed this comparison as I owned a 57 Belvedere 2 dr.htp in blue with white stripe back in 1960, mine had the sport steeirng wheel with pwr steering, twin deck aerials opt.and rare ci 727 three speed torqueflite auto, I raced a guy and broke a valve spring , ended up rebuilding the engine in my dad's garage, turned out good and ended up trading it for the big finned 1960 belevedere.

Found a '57 Belvedere V8 2DHT donor car in central Alberta. Rough. Decent bumpers, some chrome, some glass. 3 speed tree. Pedals intact. No engine or trans. Contact if interested. Thanks.

I get freaked out looking at the front of these cars because of Christine. Kinda like seeing the Jaws shark for the first time and always having an initial reaction…whether good or bad.

You should show 1960 Plymouth , I had a 1960 Plymouth Police car I bought at a auction

You forgot to meantion hard top. This one is a sedan not a hard top.

I know the differences already but I watch every video that features these cars. I like both but 58 is my favorite. Good video dude.

Kudos from a GM guy. I could show a lot of love to a 57 or 58 two door hardtop, and that feeling came long before any silly movie. 👍👍

This is amazing the slight difference between them I have a 58 4 Dr savoy and I'm in new Zealand so it's rhd and has a dodge instrument cluster these are made in Canada im looking for engine mounts for the 318 poly rather than me fabrication some mine is a 6 manual 3 on the tree I want to put my poly into it if you have a set spare give me a price and shipping to new Zealand

Turned out great👍

Very interesting. The closest my family Came was a 1960. My father sort of clipped my mothers wings with that car. It was a 3 speed manual. Afraid I don't remember the car. As for me I prefer the 59. The car I do have a lot of knowledge is Edsel.

In U.S, the Dodge was only below a Chrysler, with Desoto being below a Dodge and Plymouth was the base division, In Canada, Dodge and Plymouth were equal, just like in Canada, the Pontiac was pretty much a rebadged Chevrolet, with Chevy drivetrains, Ford had a Meteor Division in Canada, that was a cross between a Ford and a Mercury.

In Canada, the Dodge was a rebadged Plymouth, with a Dodge grille.

1958, had dual headlights.
