My first car in New Zealand was a 1958 Plymouth Savoy I bought in 1977 for 700 NZD. It came with the side valve 6 which I pulled out and replaced with a 318 V8.
Thinking of you always Mags. There has been no news lately from your camp but I understand. Just know I and a whole lot more of us are pulling for ya bro. Cheers 🇨🇦
My Dad had one when they were new. The first Mopar I remember riding in. The push button transmission always fascinated me when I was a kid. Thanks for the memories.
I owned one of these around 1976. Parking brake didn't work, so I had to carry a rock to chock the tire. The 318 V8 made good power and other than the car being ugly it was a good car. Interesting seeing Steve with his "snake guards" on while checking out this old classic.
Steve, Love your videos! You sir are a wealth of knowledge. Like myself, you can see the beauty in our great older AMERICAN iron. Please keep your videos coming. I am a big fan.
Hi Jon Stein, your question as to "HOW MUCH" the 1959 Plymouth wagon will sell for is totally unknown as of today, Friday, August 20, 2021. The auction will decide how much the car sells for. It could be "this", it could be "that". You need to BID to find out! The good news is that there are still several weeks left before the October 13th auction date. And remember, the auction is ALL ONLINE and ALL NO RESERVE. Registration to bid will be opened up in the week or so before the auction. Good luck! -Steve
I believe that 1959 was the first year for the St. Louis plant. My Dodge Grant Caravan was one of the last to be assembled there. The 1st digit in the VIN is a "1."
I saw one of these last week at the Bonneville salt flats speed week. A spectators car. I had to take a double take at the two doors. Never seen this before. Kind of like the Nomad.
@@countryroadautopartsusa6466 Yes it’s true why do you think Steve’s blowing up his TH-cam channel he finally had enough if you look at the live stream he had what uncle Tony the other night he explains it in the beginning of the stream
@@countryroadautopartsusa6466 It was Sunday night uncle Tony does a live stream and has a guest on you don’t follow uncle Tony you should subscribe he has the best TH-cam Channel I’ll look for the link and post it for you I’m not really sure how to do it

At 0:18, he mentioned the "Suburban" nameplate. In the '63 model year, both Rambler and Dodge used the "880" designation.
The stories these cars could tell

Coldwarmotors would love this.
Imagine Frankers riding in the back
Nice one Stevedaddy!
Very cool car. Hopefully, somday someone willl restore it. I might add I have never seen a video on you-tube with zero thumbs down. Kudos.

I have a ‘58 Sport Suburban. 528 stroker wedge, ‘65 push button 727,with manual valve body! Seats 9. She’s fun.
This car is super-cool
Always a great day when Steve is looking at old cars.
Steve "magnet" Lol 👍😎
WOW another Hit.....
Who else is waiting for a snake to pop out? Great videos.
Please tell me you check for "critters" before you start opening things?!

Man pretty solid car finds in Texas! Beautiful wagon indeed!👌😎👍
Is the series Junkyard Gold going to be released for season 4?
Junkyard gold was canceled because motor trend Blew all the money on Kevin Harts sihitbag show
@@michaeladamo1188 Is this a fact? If it is, I am sad to hear that because Junkyard Gold was one of the best shows on MotorTrend Channel.

@@michaeladamo1188 He really got the short end of the stick. Which episode is the Uncle Tony you refer to?

Love these old wagons, saw you on Uncle Tonys live show. all the great information and stories you have, thanks for sharing
I want it!
A survivor that should be restored!
great video! enjoyed watching you on uncle Tony's live stream. you're knowledge of car history is pretty cool! take care.
How much?
You would have to find suburban tail lights as they different than Sudan's probably would work
I would love to see that car back on the road.
would make an awesome hot rod...finding that quarter glass would be a real challenge
great video steve you are a legend in automotive history inspiring to people of all ages are those things on the legs tick gators or for snakes ???
snake I'm sure
People also want the old Mexican plates with the GTO on them.
GTO is the abbreviation for Guanajuato, Mexico 🇲🇽.
How can I get in contact with Steve? Would like to email him about a sponsor to bring back junk yard gold
My kind of Car!
Missing trim and taillights could be a challenge.
I know where to find the front glass from a donor car in NJ, I'm sure it's not easy to find.
Boss ride drive it!
Isn't there a piece missing just above the medallion in the middle of the grille that I'm thinking is about as easy to find as a 1804 silver dollar.
Why did they call that a "Rib Breaker" rearview mirror???
Steve, did you see any cars you would really like to build?
make a nice street car with a 5.7 h e m i , with a 8 speed . disc brakes etc.
