I'm glad people are keeping these old cars and not squashing them. They can be updated to modern specs and be like new again. A lot of work and planning went into the manufacture. I suppose they were obsolete like the old mobile phones and tossed away.
My parents had a 1962 Chrysler Newport with a 361 amd push button automatic. Even though it has been 50 years since they had that car I still remember the great sound of that gear reduction starter. Make the Fury beautiful again. It deserves it.
Awesome! We have a 1958 Coronet we got running & on the road, looks beat up but in good shape. We have a new appreciation for any old Forward Look car, amazing styling beyond anything the other car makers were doing at that time.
Awesome car! I love the patina on it just as it is! I think it would be cool to see it running and driving with some seat covers on like it is. These cars have gotten so expensive that it is getting hard to find one that isn't either completely restored or totally rusted junk, so it is cool to see one as a project car.
Yes so true! You either never see them or see one once in a while that is a complete restoration. As much as I love clean restored cars, I can't deny that these survivors have something special about them.
Congratulations on getting that ancient MOPAR to running and stopping again! The body is surprisingly (relatively) straight and low rust considering it's age. BTW, if that's THEE original paint, you oughta patina it.
When you were trying to start the car , it sounded to me like a Chrysler reduction gear starter motor which I think was introduced in 1962. That would indicate the engine date too - but not originally from a DeSoto since 1961 was the last year for that brand.
Christine wasn't a 57 Plymouth, Christine was a 58 Plymouth Golden Fury , Golden Furys were never Painted Red, they were White or tan with a Gold insert on both sides...
@@charlesdurham483 In the movie, yes. People have been arguing ever since the movie came out as to whether a particular color and trim combination could be special ordered with the Fury models.
You guys rock.... I love seeing young people love the real cars.... goodluck from Montana
Good luck on that '59. My father had a '57 4 dr & a '58 wagon. I remember him letting me drive the wagon when I was about 12 . Very cool cars.

Thanks for sharing! Love to hear people's history with the cars
Beauty !!
My favorite Plymouth I had a white 59 Sport Fury in high-school it had a 361 Cid
Wow I've seen some pics of white with red interior furys and they look great in that color

Awesome to hear! Yea Chrysler really was a pioneer in the whole "space age" styling of the late 50s
Man, I love the '59. That is 2ay cool.👍👍😎😎
Def following and sub to see more of the fury! Worth a full resto IMO. One of my fave styles from back then! Look forward to seeing more of it!
Once my bus is on the road more Fury vids are on the way!

YES that original paint is definitely staying
Great choice. I'd totally leave it that way as well. Nice car my friend 👍🏻
That's one awesome car!
My son love the Christine movie he would want that car so bad
The album cover photo on Elton John's "Don't Shoot Me, I'm Only The Piano Player" features a 1959 Fury with a Continental kit.
Yes! Never thought I'd see a comment talking about it but I've always loved that cover just showing the fins of the car
@@JalopyFlips Considering that the album came out about a year before "American Graffiti" it was an inadvertent stroke of marketing genius.

Yes you're probably right about the starter... I've been able to confirm off of some stampings on the block that it is a 1962 engine
The shifter. Looks. Like. Early. Mustang. ??? Very. Cool
Not to sure what it's off of but it is pretty sweet

I read they used 57 and 58s in the movie?
Christine was actually made from a 58 Belvidere.
There was no Park on 59 Plymouths.
Christine was actually a '58
He literally said that in the video. Did you even watch it?
True, but I suppose a '57 or a '59 will do in a pinch.
Yes, I was hitting send it was still playing in the back ground and heard it.
Isn't * Christine * a 58 ?
You're correct.
