As I watched this I was immediately taken back to my childhood in the far north Kaitaia in the 60s.My dad had a similar car. I remember leaving our grandmothers to return home we had to climb a small hill which the car would often require a 2nd run to get over the hill. Good memories. I look around at all these modern cars that look the same. I miss the 60s and 70s.
I thought I recognised this car by the sun visor. As a result I pulled out my parents first photo album and sure enough there is a picture of this exact car taken in probably 1955 with the engine out (my father, standing to the car in his work overalls, was a mechanic when he first came to Australia from Holland in 1950) and myself as a four year old sitting on the running board with my sister. I wish I could send you this classic picture.
I love these old cars but 60 mph in one like this is pretty uncomfortable for me. I have a couple 1938 Mopars. In my Plymouth with 4.11 rear end, 45 is very solid and stable. 50 gets a little buzzy. At 55 mph the feels pretty strung out. My ‘38 Chrysler 3.90 rear end with OD, 60 mph is easy. 70 is fine, power wise. But handling, braking and lack of any safety features keeps me back down in the 50-55 mph comfort range.
I had a 29 chrysler phaeton for years and it was so much fun to drive and always ran well. Where is this car located? Obviously not in the Untied States.
These type of older cars were not built for speed, it tended to vary somewhere in the 60--80mph range cruise about 45-50. Real nice old car from some angles you see the overall shape of the Model A Ford, back then roads were not half as good what we have now.

I LOVE THESE OLD CARS!!!!
Beautiful car 👍
Car, No.15 & kids all looking great
A mi lo que me impresiona es lo rápido que evolucionó el automóvil si vemos un auto 10 años mas reciente es sorprendente
Very nice
Very well engineered car of the era.
Fuck yea, you guys are awesome ❤
Chrysler's had fine Corithian leather !
Why is the driver steering from the right ? Was this Chrysler imported from across the pond ?
MY GOD! They're driving on the WRONG SIDE OF THE ROAD!--What a great car--best colors--the model numbers represented the top speed of the car
NICE VIDEO SEEMED SOO REAL

Lucky!!
I am quite jealous!
hard to believe if u research lemans racing news but 5 shrylers were entered in 1929 24 hour lemans and all 5 finished.
Nice! Interested in purchasing a 1930 Chrysler series 66 ?
I had a 29 chrysler phaeton for years and it was so much fun to drive and always ran well. Where is this car located? Obviously not in the Untied States.
The car is located in Auckland New Zealand. My brother has owned and driven it for 50 years and it is a very reliable car.
Australia?
Nueva zelanda ! Ok ,thanks.
Very nice video. How fast does this car go? What is the cruising speed? Thank you
The Chrysler will cruise comfortably on on the highway at 55 to 60 miles per hour.

Much faster then the Ford a pickup tipped out at50 on a down slope 🤣but it would drive anywhere tho
65 mph
Sounded like he didn’t advance the timing for starting and or that battery and starter are worn out🧐
Hope it was better than todays Chryslers.
Hello
It's boxy but it's good.
Junk!
