In 1968, at the age of 17, I took my mother's '66 Pontiac Catalina, 389 C.I. out on the freeway north of town, put my foot to the floor just to see how fast it would go. It was summer and the car windows were down. My mother had a newspaper on the back seat. As I passed 100, individual newspaper pages started blowing around in the car along with cigarette ash from the always full ashtrays. About a minute and a half later and a 1/4 tank of gas, I took my foot off the accelerator. I reached 120 MPH. To this day, that's the fastest I've ever gone in a car.
Those old speedo cables started to wig out around 80 to 90mph so it prob was more around that speed, but still awesome story dude. Living in the moment
I agree, and they left out Auburn Speedsters as well, along with 1957 Thunderbird, which set a Daytona speed record. Another that should have been on there was the GT40.
Dang it! I missed the 1968 Oldsmobile Cutlass. I own a 1972. Awesome to see it going! - You need that 1970 with Ram-Air in the next video. That one was even faster.
It's cool to see that you took cars from all eras and had them race down the road at their top speeds. Cool to think that some cars from the 1930's are keeping pace with some muscle cars from the 1960's and that some 1950's and 1940's cars are passing those. Also cars from other countries outside of the USA. It would be cool to add in Soviet and eastern-block cars, Scandinavian cars, and Canadian cars as well and cars from South America and Mexico.
Agreed. Then you hear random people talking about how cars only went 25 mph in the 1930s (same people who think all cars were black at the time). People just say whatever they want to insult a time they weren't in, to justify their denial for how far we haven't come. It was an amazing video, did not expect to see a 1931 Chevrolet Confederate 3D model right after the Model A, caught me totally off guard!
Great Video... Auto Union and Mercedes with Rosemeyer and Caracciola should have been at the end... 270mph / 433 kph in 1938 without a seatbelt... legends!
I feel like some of the pre-war speed record cars were missing like the Blitzen Benz and Fiat S76 and some of those engine sounds were painfully mismatched but other than that this is a really cool video!
American muscle cars have a variable top speed, because the final differential ratio could be changed depending on the option package, or the whims of the owner. At lot favored acceleration over top speed. -Still a cool video.

12:53 That's LITTERALLY the 1970 917 KH. The 1969 Kurzheck could manage around 325-330 kph and had not the truncated open tail, but a closed Karrmann-effect cut, at which could be attached the proper long tail with which Rolf Stommelen topped 360 at '69 Le Mans.
I think there's this event that happened somewhere in the US when the only 2 Cars in a town collided with each other, i think it occured somewhere around the 1910s-20s iirc
Cars back then had more character in the looks.. Would of been nice to see the 1961 Jaguar E type. 150 mph/240 km/h. and the 1963 Aston Martin DB5, 145 mph/233kph. Great art work. 👍
With a lot of these older cars, you would have to floor it for like ten minutes just to get to those top speeds. The music really didn't fit the video. It could use more like a George Thorogood-esque riff. It sounded too much like a fashion show.
@@Jul-66 It took 13 seconds for a 1948 Buick super sedan to reach 85. Which seems pretty average for cars today. However, compare a 1948 Buick to a car today and you'll see an obvious difference in size and weight, and shape and tire and riding height.
@@WitchKing-Of-Angmar Indeed, my 2011 Buick (actually an Opel) with a blown 2.0 could do that in about 8 seconds. Fun to drive for sure...but that Ecotec...; if there ain't no oil under it, then there ain't no oil _in_ it, ammarite?
That was interesting, and I guess there’s many other cars that could have been included. I certainly was looking for a Duesenberg, I think they were very fast for their time. Having owned many Thunderbirds, was disappointed not to find one, although there certainly were always faster cars.
That era of vintage cars makes me think of Cuba because the main reason was the embargo after the us stopped exporting newer cars to Cuba that is what created a 6 decade gap between cars in the us and Cuba.
In truth, taking aside the LSR Vehicles with combustion engines, for 1969 the fastest car ever (since it was omologated as road legal) was the 917 Langheck of that year, capable of storm down the Ligne Droite des Hunaudières at well above 355 kph, topping 360 during a test. Still, theorically, if we also count pre-WW2 Grand Prix cars, the Auto Union Type C Stomlinie (Streamlined) in the Avus Grand Prix of 1937 was clocked at almoat 400 kph. Infact, the fastest the Type C went ever went was around 479 kph before a sudden wind gust made it's ultimate speed record attempt on a closed Autobahn become a fatality, Ferdinand Porsche pushed himself so far to coincive a closed-bottom bodywork (thusly, creating the first ground-effect car well before the Chaparral 2J of 1970, let alone Colin Chapman and his F1 Lotus one-seaters...), but with the limited knowledge of such a thing, no one knew that if the low pressure under the bottom, if for any reason is disturbed aerodinamically, makes the whole body to loose control suddently or even go airbone. And such a thing would tragically happen at the legend at the wheel of that "Type C" Rekord, B. Rosemayer, was killed on impact on the side of the german highway.
What's I don't understand though is why nearly all American cars here that had more power also were faster. The old American cars were mostly limited by final drive and gear ratios, a 425hp hemi is probably not faster than a 300hp variant, both horsepower are adequate for 200kmh easily

Really enjoyed this. I’ve owned several of these cars and currently have three that was featured! Added interest.
A cool car to put would be the duesenberg Model SSJ 1935, with the top speed of 247 Kmph.
Duesenberg definitely should have been in this list.
Also the Packard V12.
The Deusenberg "Mormon Meteor" set a Land Speed Record that stood for 35 years.
I agree, and they left out Auburn Speedsters as well, along with 1957 Thunderbird, which set a Daytona speed record. Another that should have been on there was the GT40.
Huh....the car that owned by that Unforgettable Austrian painter who was rejected from that art school has enough speed.....😂❤❤❤
The one with the moustache?😂...i remember a few things about him
@bugyg2000 well said😅
I just like seeing the not too often seen cars represented here like the Corvair...
Or how about seeing a Model A at it's top speed (would make modernists fume with hate), but more importantly a 1952 Ford and 1950 Mercury.
Loved this video, was kinda hoping to see a couple of Hudson's on there like the 37 or the Hornet!
Yeah kinda surprised we saw the sheriff car but not doc
AMAZING ❤🔥
Very enjoyable. Thanks for taking the trouble.
Missed the Facel Vega HK500, fastest 4-seat car in the world on release in 1958
You forgot the Citroen 2CV, Dodge Polara, Ferrari 250 GTO, Holden 48.215/FX, Lamborghini Miura and Nissan Skyline S54
And the Dusenberg Model SJ, at the time it was one of the fastest production cars, if not the fastet it had a topspeed of 135 - 140 mph.
And Jaguar all Types, especially XK
And the first bugatti
Willys Jeep😊
And the DAF Variomatic
C'est vraiment de super qualité, et de plus en plus ! Et merci de faire revivre des voitures dont je ne soupçonnais ou ne me rappelais la beauté.
Very very very very very cool cars ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ I love them all all from the 2 from the UK and the USA and many more
I think there were 4, buddy. 2 X Anglia, I Rolls, and the Lotus Cortina.

Bob Marriott in Stanley’s “gentlemen’s speedy roadster” must be having a good time laughing at how slow everybody else was!
Wasn't expecting the FB Holden, nice.
A classic Australian car which I owned in the 60s, I drove it from Melbourne to the Gold Coast and it didn't miss a beat!
No jaguars or bentleys ? No ferrari or lambos? Really ?

a couple of iconic cars were left out: the 1930 Duesenberg J (130 mph) and the 1963 Studebaker Avanti (166 mph)
Even though there were a few good Benzes in here I missed the 300SL Gullwing with 250-260 km/h top speed in 1954.
suprised the Dusenberg SJ wasn't in there. Americans doing an OHC with a blower in the 30's shoulda been there.
SJ had DOHC.

Yikes!
Where does your data come from? Seems very generous for some, conservative for others.
100% ai made (with some filters it seems)
Merc W165 going 275 kmph in 1939 is mind boggling
Germans were crazy in first half of 20th century
Italian old cars are the best!
Driving some of those cars at their quoted top speed would be suicidal!
Absolutely, I had a Ford Anglia 93E, getting it to go in a straight line or stopping it was rather more important.
Don't expect a cushioned stop in a modern car at that speed. Don't be delusional.
Will the background music is removed we can hear the vintage sounds😢
