- This 1959 Dodge Custom Sierra wagon is finished in aquamarine and cream over green vinyl and cloth upholstery and is powered by a 361ci V8 paired with a three-speed automatic transmission. Work under previous ownership included a repaint, retrimming the interior, and replacement of the brakes, tires, and shocks as well as refurbishing the carburetor and cooling system.
Features include chrome bumpers and trim, a roof rack, 14″ wheels with polished covers, swiveling front seats, fold-down second-row seats, a rear-facing third row “Spectator” bench seat, and fender-mounted mirrors.
Additional work included replacement of the weather stripping and window channeling as well as re-chroming the bumpers. It is also equipped with a chrome grille, deluxe side moldings, tinted windows, and a fold-down rear tailgate with a power-retractable window.
The front bucket seats swivel, and the second row and rear-facing third row “Spectator” seats fold flat. Other features include, wind-up windows, a push-button gear selector, and a dash-mounted rearview mirror. Interior restoration included replacement of the upholstery, door panels, and carpets as well as repair of the headliner.
The 361ci V8 was rated at 305 horsepower and 400 lb.-ft of torque when new and features a four-barrel carburetor.

❤ LOVE this Video? Click “$ Thanks” to show your SUPPORT. Thank you, Rob and Nathan. ❤
Very awesome wagon, I actually remember them from my childhood and I have ridden in the very back
Awesome! Thanks for sharing
The cars of the 50s tell us of time in America when everything we made was based on innovation and reliability. I still have a washing machine and a refrigerator from 1956. They both work.
Agreed, thanks for watching!
My old boss had a 64 Ford wagon with a 429 in it, that thing was fast, ultimate sleeper.
Thanks sharing and for watching!
That seat is original to the car! I have seen it advertised in an old dodge commercial! You can find it on TH-cam
Awesome, thanks for sharing
I know this is an older video but I do love this car! Stations wagons always ring my bell for some reason. I do believe the knob that doesn't seem to do anything is in fact a speed minder, must not be attached. Also, I didn't notice on the dash anywhere the heater controls. I looked at the video several times and I just don't see them. Am I wrong?
Thanks for the comment. Hopefully Randy will see this and be able to answer the question about the heater controls. Thanks for watching!
It’s the Speed Minder Speedometer option. It’s disconnected. It would buzz just like GM’s optional product. The heater controls are horizontal push buttons along the lower right edge of the chromed bezel that surrounds the instrument cluster, below the oil pressure gauge an ignition.
Very beautiful
It is a Randy says it’s Cute too
Gorgeous car! I don't want to profess to know more about your car than you do, but I think those swivel seats could be factory equipment. I say this because the top of the line Plymouth Sport Fury had swivel seats.
Thanks for watching!
Thanks, see my 1959 Wagon..
I am disappointed the owner didn't mention that his girlfriend actually purchased this car for him. Lou Constable did a video in which this was pointed out. A little point of order - The "Spectator" moniker" indicated the 3rd row seating - Sierra and Sierra Custom was the trim level. Also, swivel seats WERE available. Dad ordered them when he ordered our '59 Spectator in the fall of '58. The little round knob to the right of the speedometer was originally a speed minder. it had numbers to 10, as I recall. You pointed the pointer of the knob toward a number and it would flash the parking brake warning light when you reached the assigned speed. 6=60, 7=70, etc. The one in our car didn't work well, so dad had the wiring disconnected. The numbers on the bezel faded with age.
Randy told us off camera that Sally had “loaned” him money to buy the car. We didn’t think it added anything to the video nor did they so it wasn’t mentioned on camera. Plus if you knew Randy you’d know that he’s got more money than God and the thought of him having to “borrow” money is pretty funny.
You are correct the Lou filmed this car as well. He’s flown in a couple of times to film some of Randy’s cars. That being said, we’re actually friends of Randy’s and not just fly in fly out video guys. Thanks for sharing
Esté tipo de modelo me gusta mucho más sobre todo cuando son originales cómo esté congratulaciones ❤😂.
Awesome car.
Yes it is! Thanks for watching!
The wood wedge was for when you jacl up the car. Cadillac alalso included the wood wedge for jacking up the car
Thanks for sharing and thanks for watching
The term "observation lounge" was borrowed from trains--the round-end rear car with a lounge inside was often called that in ads and timetables.
Swivel seats were available on all Chrysler models, not just Chryslers.
Cool. Thanks for sharing!
In 1963 my family had a mint green station wagon
Thanks for sharing
Exner excellence!
Agreed! Thanks for watching
I think the roumd knob on the dash is a dash backlight dimmer. It is likely missing the rheostat connected to the dash bulbs.
Thanks for sharing
i fon’t think the dash gauges had light bulbs at this time.they were painted with electro-luminescent paint running a current through it caused it to glow. that waythere are no bulbs to burn out. That make sense for that knob to be a rheostat, as upping the current would maybe up the brightness.
Cool car!!!
We couldn’t agree more! Thanks for watching!
Does anyone know when the Chrysler Corporation started using galvanized sheet metal in its car production thus avoiding premature oxydation/rusting of its quarter panels as I witnessed in my dad’s 1957 Dodge. ( above headlight housing was pretty bad as in totally eaten away)(gaping crater) 🇨🇦
Hopefully one of our viewers can help you out. Thanks for watching
I'm a fan of 59
Cool cars huh? Thanks for watching
We had that car, and I slept in the back 3rd row seat
Awesome. Thanks for sharing
😊Too bad Lou beat you to all of Randy’s cars…
Nice try, Lou didn’t film Randy’s entire collection and he definitely has a different style than we do. In fact Lou told me just last weekend that he likes our editing, photos and general style. Sorry bud, were not in competition with Lou.
that knob on the dash is a speed minder. Yours must be broken if it spins and does nothing
Super, thanks for adding that to the conversation! Thanks for watching!
Thanks John!
I want that car now! I'm 62 years old with no wife or kids or absolute need for a station wagon but this car is T I T S ! I'm going to start a GoFundme to raise the money.
It is awesome, thanks for watching!
@@TwoGuysandaRide thanks for watching? How about I fly out there just to massage the steering wheel? Dammit I love that car!
@@earthstewardude lol…Randy just might let you do that!
No mention of power train. 383 2 bbl or a early Hemi?
