*BEHOLD THE GLORY OF THOSE LITERALLY OUTSTANDING TAIL LIGHTS!* _And just_ *LOOK* 👀 _at the double-mint-fresh, 'Robin Egg Blue' factory paint!!_ *Truly a feast for your eyes!* 🍒🍌🥥🫐🍑
What a beauty, and that face. Nothing like vintage American cars. The styling, their FACES, the character. I hope no customizer ever gets his hands on it.
The taillights always reminded me of the factory, upon completion, they said, oops we forgot the rear lights, let's stick something on there, so they did. But in the end, they looked good.
Absolutely incredible !! The grill, the color, the tail lights. Never know some models/years had four , not five, transmission push buttons. Rolling history........
Wowzer! I'm with you Charles! I LOVE this suburban! So cool looking. There is NOTHING like a station wagon. So rare. Absolutely amazing. I'm awestruck! Love ya man!
Very nice car, I really like that body style. I think the station wagon model is the best looking. That grille style is being used today by Lexus and now Toyota for their new Camry.
Vintage cars really do need to be driven. I have vintage cars. It's not enough to drive them for fifteen minutes every day. But if you use them for your daily driver they will transform into a much smoother and excellent running car as when they were new. It always seems to end up being a difficult decision- Do I want my vintage car to run and drive as perfectly possible by using it as my daily driver, thus putting a lot of miles on it? Or, Do I want to keep the mileage low and allow it to be in a semi deteriorated state?
My dad always said the `61 Plymouths were so poorly styled, the taillights looked like two $1.25 flashlights taped to the quarter panels! He was right!
PLYMOUTHS IN CANADA, HAD DODGE CLONES, WITH A PLYMOUTH BODY, INTERIOR AND TAILIGHTS, BUILT IN THE SAME WINDSOR, ONT. AS PLYMOUTHS WERE. THE SUBURBAN, WOULD HAVE BEEN EQUAL TO A SAVOY, CUSTOM SUBURBAN, WAS EQUAL TO THE BELVEDERE AND IF THEY MADE A SPORT SUBURBAN, THAT WOULD HAVE BEEN THE EQUAL OF A FURY.
Back in the day (yes, I am that old) all of the new car models were revealed pretty much at the same time in the fall. It was a huge, highly anticipated event with the cars shown covered, weeks in advance. The day finally arrived and I believe it was on The Gary Moore Show. The man himself pulled the cover off the new 1961 Plymouth and there it was! The ugliest car I had ever seen! Now over the years, I have begun to appreciate its unique styling
I recall those days as well. And cars were covered with a tarp on the carrier, delivered at night, a tiny cut out in the tarp for the driver to see. People standing around hope to see a glimpse. Hidden in the dealership with the showroom windows papered over until the big reveal. Good days.

Thats such a beautiful looker of a car . I can see myself going on long distance road trips in that , and kids a dog hanging out the windows
Beautiful! I love the styling of these late 1950's / early 1960's Mopars.
What a beauty, and that face. Nothing like vintage American cars. The styling, their FACES, the character. I hope no customizer ever gets his hands on it.
one of the best Americana channels, thanks for this Charles 👌🏼
That wagon is a classic.
The taillights always reminded me of the factory, upon completion, they said, oops we forgot the rear lights,
let's stick something on there, so they did. But in the end, they looked good.
"They don't make them like this anymore" is an understatement.
My god i would drive this car as much as I could!
I have to say that overall, I find the 1961 Plymouth an attractive car to look at.
The vacuum leaking from the power booster is also what's keeping the car from starting up more quickly
Growing up my neighbor had a 61 station wagon like that. It was popsicle purple with a violent top.
Big Fun 1961
Love it. Got the 61 fury in my garage and i just enjoy every trip i have in it. THIS one is MINT! And not just the colour :)
Beautiful! Nice find.
Absolutely incredible !! The grill, the color, the tail lights. Never know some models/years had four , not five, transmission push buttons. Rolling history........
Glad you liked it!
Wowzer! I'm with you Charles! I LOVE this suburban! So cool looking. There is NOTHING like a station wagon. So rare. Absolutely amazing. I'm awestruck! Love ya man!
I agree! Thanks for watching!
Gorgeous wagon!
I love it!! I need one in my life.
On those old dodges, if the brakes are grabbing like that, it means that there is a hole in the power booster diaphragm, very dangerous!
What a beauty!
"BEHOLD".....thanks for sharing Mr. Phoenix
Thanks for watching!
Great!
Very nice car, I really like that body style. I think the station wagon model is the best looking. That grille style is being used today by Lexus and now Toyota for their new Camry.
Please never insult Virgil Exner like that ever again.
That is a beautiful golden gay radio voice.
Pretty
American made beauty Thanks ( Do Doug in GA 🐈 )
I believe the last American car with fins was the 1976 Oldsmobile Ninety Eight.

Unbelievable!
The mirror mount position was Mostly to keep an eye on which kid was 'Not Touching' the other one/ones!
😉👍😎
Hi Charles, I LOVE your channel....PLEASE ADVISE if this is for sale, my dramatic friend....?!?
Kurt
The front looks like the back of a 1960 chev impala
Hi Shermy!! This car could be the Surfrajettes’ Suburban
I went to grammar school with a kid whose parents had a salmon colored sedan.

Looks like a modern day Lexus front end.

Hey Charles!
Back in the day (yes, I am that old) all of the new car models were revealed pretty much at the same time in the fall. It was a huge, highly anticipated event with the cars shown covered, weeks in advance. The day finally arrived and I believe it was on The Gary Moore Show.

Oh,I thought that was Reese Witherspoon,darn it
You're talking about the cutie in the black dress at 0:06, right?
Anyway, I knew a neighbor who had a '61 Plymouth station wagon for a while.
not quite, caddy put fins on em for awhile longer
Until the mid 1970s even.
HI WHEN DID FOOD NETWORK SIGN Charles Phoenix
is there a hardtop station wagon of this model?
No there isn't.
Why didn’t this one have the rectangular steering wheel?
It's an optional steering wheel offered on some Mopars.
As a kid I thought this was the ugliest car I had ever seen. They forgot to design tail lights so they bolted on flashlights
