My mom had one of these . It was only reliable for trips to and from the mechanic . I later was given that car . I wanted to drive it into the river but it broke down on the way .
This thing is actually adorable, and hilarious. It's the fake wood that makes me love it, it just takes it over the top. I'd love one of these for a weekend driver, what a great beach car.
My parents had this car in the 80's. I forgot all about the talking, thanks for the memories! My friends used to love riding in our "talking car". Oh, and those hubcaps got stolen ALL of the time.
@@drjustin84 like the Dodge Aries, that last car on earth that the god of war would drive. Or the Plymouth Citation: a car that someone *should* get a ticket for owning..
that fake wood panel is terribad, but the car is beautiful otherwise, owned a 90 lebaron ragtop for 11 years. when it died, i went out and bought another (a 92 this time) le baron convertible because i missed it. the car is roomy, the 3.0 mitsubishi v6 is peppy and its very comfortable. great car.
+chukzombi I actually like the wood paneling a little bit. Granted it's a nationwide disgrace of stupidity in 2017 standards but I think it fits this car well. And the talking electronics is just a funny gimmick I'd love to show off to people lol
I had a 83 white lebaron convertible as my first car! (in 1995) Man I loved that thing and seeing this one brings back such great memories. Bought it for $1500 and drove it for 3 years with no issues. It is a cool looking car but that woodgrain and continental tire kit kills it.
I didn't know that. My mom had used 1984 New Yorker that had a man's voice. She liked that though, and wouldn't have changed it. I had a Lebaron that didn't have the voice.
Now I know 19 years later after my grandma gave up her 86 new Yorker we all thought my cousin was lying when he said he heard a woman's voice in that car 😂
My Grandparents had one of these, and they told me the story years later of how they were driving it on a trip during a major storm and were listening to the radio as tornado warning areas were being announced. Right in the middle of the reporter telling where the tornadoes were supposed to be, the car interrupted, "YOUR WINDSHIELD WASHER FLUID IS LOW." And the reporter finished the list during the car's announcement. They said they sold it after making it home, and were grateful to have missed the tornadoes while getting there.
As I lean over the counter holding my gut dying laughing at you, I say out loud in my house, this guy is a nut. Absolutely crazy. Your videos should be watched by millions. Keep up the good work.
That was hilarious! I remember that car as a kid when it was new - one of my neighbors had the more “upscale” version, the New Yorker with a turbo 2.2L. Had the same talking feature and fine Corinthian Leather. It seemed so hi tech, futuristic, and cool back then. Especially the digital display on the radio, lots of buttons, and of course the car talked! Now it seems like comedy.
I was so happy to find one of these in the early 90's for my daughter's first car and when I brought it home my wife and daughter came out and looked at it, tried to keep from laughing and went back in the house. I traded it to a guy for a 1961 Cadillac coupe and we never discussed it again.
Those cars had 2.2 or 2.5L throttle body EFI units in them like most of the Chrysler K car variants. They aren't expensive or hard to find. Even later year units will work.
Hoovies Garage your a good guy with a really good since of humor. Some people probably just think you're crazy but I know you're really just being funny and are a little crazy. Thanks for the hilarious videos man keep them up. I want to start my own car channel. I make pretty good money and have lots of cars and can definitely buy more but I don't think I can top your humor. Cheers!
back in the early 90's one of my students bought one of those talking k cars. he wired the voice module into his massive stereo system and cranked it...
paint it green and drive it recklessly on the highway at night while playing ray charles mess around if you know what i mean. one of the best movies i've ever seen
When Mazda debuted the first Miata, Chrysler representatives scoffed at it. The styling, they said, was bland and plain, and they had no fear that it would unseat the LeBaron as America's dominant convertible.
I toured the Paramount lot when that was filmed and remember seeing a dozen or so green LeBaron convertibles lined-up w/varying degree of damage. I'm sure several were later junked.

I don't know that much about the carburetors on this particular car but that's actually about what I was thinking. I know that a high-end four barrel Edelbrock carburetor can run you between 800 and 1400 in some cases.i bought a pretty sad truck some years ago that I still were grant despite all the work that was done on it before I bought it. Well to be precise I did buy it I was actually walking away and my father ignored me and bout it with my money at her I told him it was a piece of junk. He never did pay attention to anything I said anyway.the sad thing was somebody had spent 1000 or more on the engine of that truck + when I opened the engine bonnet and took the breather off there was a six-month-old Edelbrock and that particular model when I priced it ran between 800 and 1400.it was basically worth more than what he paid for the truck. Frankly should have left him stuck with it instead of giving in the 1400 after he bought it.fing thing was the worst vehicle I ever owned. Was like the thing was cursed. i still have the carburetor and not had the luxury of getting anything to put it on. That truck was my last carbureted GM and I haven't been able to get one sense because they're just so overpriced and rotted out hear. Been stuck driving fuel injected vehicles for about eight or nine years now give or take.i on one hand like the convenience of fuel injected vehicles but on the other hand I hate all that extra computer and plumbing.i like the vehicle where I opened the engine bonnet and they're visible crap under the hood as possible that is not absolutely necessary.i don't know that much about this particular model K car most of the ones I'm familiar with usually had a fuel injection system of some sort including my neighbors old 84. I can imagine occur greater being that expensive that would go on a K car sounds like something you'd go on eBay and find for a pretty cheap price in the US I could probably pick up a good running taker in better shape than that convertible for a couple hundred bucks. There was a K car at a car show here about a year ago that was a wagon and it made me cry. Guy was the original owner he had literally receipts for almost everything ever done on the car over its entire lifespan! The guy was in his 70s if I am right. Without looking at the box of receipts and walking around looking at everything that had been replaced that I could see visually I would say within say the last year or less added up to between 1500 and 2500. the car was rust free where the guy had brought it down from part of the US when he moved here so it'd only been here in Canada a few years. It had a few dance but other than that the car was basically in crazy immaculate condition. He had the thing up for sale for something like 2000 or 2200 nobody but me had even walked over and looked at the car which was that much more sad.i prior to this had pulled over and looked at a few really bad K cars on the side of the road for sale where people wanted 2000 or more and when I stopped I figured the car was a couple hundred bucks at most lol. That wagon if I could have afforded it I would've thought twice about buying it. You can usually get a taker in the US for almost nothing and if you're careful about where it's from you can find one with little to no rust. Unlikely I think you'll find one though that's a convertible without it being pretty badly rotten. Back when I was in high school guys would buy them for like 100 bucks and you could literally do things like list update floormat and drop garbage out of a hole in the floor. Those cards would be still running long after it had basically split in half from rusting.ive been using Dodge Caravan minivans as well as a few of my neighbors couple of my neighbors went through I forget how many of the minivans the motors were always still running it's the body rock that keeps killing them.
OMG! That's hilarious! If you're truly stuck on what to do with it, do us all a favor and paint it Pea Green, as a tribute to John Candy and Steve Martin's outrageously funny Planes, Trains and Automobiles. Then, auction it off! Loved this vlog, by de whey!
I'm sure they used TMS5100 speech synthesizer IC from Texas Instruments, same as used in Speak&Spell, and the data tables derived from the same original vocal data set. Speak&Spell wasn't just a toy, it was also a demonstration of a chipset that TI was offering to electronics manufacturers. Furthermore there were only two systems to choose from if you wanted digitised speech back in the day: the Texas Instruments one, and one by General Instrument. Both contained "chirps" or allophones, manually processed short speech fragments, parts of syllables, and given the effort needed to extract these, there weren't many sets around - GI had just one. You could sequence chirps with an external processor with very little data, not much more than written text. Otherwise, you could have tape drums with analogue recordings or something like that, not a good fit for a car. And well, the Texas Instruments system was just SO MUCH BETTER sounding than the General Instrument one, at least in the general purpose case - for select phrases, you could get a decent custom one from GI.
My father test drove one of these in the 80s. He drove it from the dealership to his office (about 3 miles). On the return trip to fill out the paperwork and set up financing, smoke started pouring out from under the dashboard. I remember vividly the fire department coming out and the Chrysler salesman freaking out. Needless to say, he didn't buy a Chrysler that year.
It probably does not need a new carb - the Mikuni it has is pretty good. Likely it's a problem with the autochoke or a vacuum line. There are lots of Mikuni magicians out there that can likely work on it and get it back in working order.
👍❤️👍Oh this takes me back!! Loved the “talking robot” 🤖 in these cars! Built on the same platform, in 1997, I bought a 1985 Chrysler New Yorker from an elderly family friend; only had 50k miles on it. Served me very well back/forth from college for the next 2yrs after that.
Richard S, it is called a "date" car, I had a 1964 dart that I paid $50- for back in 2000ish and I used to pick girls for first dates in it and they would all freak freak out a bit with the roadway whizzing by under thier feet and then I would make a joke about setting thier purse on the floor wasn't probably a good idea. Nowif I got another date I knew she was a keeper and I would pick her up in my 1991 dodge molester blue "rape" van and if she made it to multiple dates they finally realized I had a fleet of ran down beater cars and never had anything nice but a whole lot of crap and I knew they weren't in it for the money.
Not even close to the ugliest car. Honestly it screams 80's and I love it. So many other cars hold the crown of ugliest.
Not happy about anything I have a 1997 Ford f-150 love it but to most people it ain't good enough I'd take a model t with broken axels

if its a Mitsubishi engine, it just needs a webber carburetor conversion. will cost about $200.

no it wasn't

OMG! That's hilarious! If you're truly stuck on what to do with it, do us all a favor and paint it Pea Green, as a tribute to John Candy and Steve Martin's outrageously funny Planes, Trains and Automobiles. Then, auction it off! Loved this vlog, by de whey!
cubbysrig in that case, set it on fire and drive it down the highway.
@@madmax2069 or get pulled over 😂😂
Literally the funniest video you ever made
A comedic masterpiece!
Thank you, I feel much better now!
Thank you thank you! For buying this car
Uglier than a PT Cruiser or a Aztek? Plus they got the guy from the Speak and Spell to do a cameo voice, pretty rad.
So I am not the only one who thinks it sounds like "Speak and Spell" child's toy.
Please press the code number
I'm sure they used TMS5100 speech synthesizer IC from Texas Instruments, same as used in Speak&Spell, and the data tables derived from the same original vocal data set. Speak&Spell wasn't just a toy, it was also a demonstration of a chipset that TI was offering to electronics manufacturers.
Furthermore there were only two systems to choose from if you wanted digitised speech back in the day: the Texas Instruments one, and one by General Instrument. Both contained "chirps" or allophones, manually processed short speech fragments, parts of syllables, and given the effort needed to extract these, there weren't many sets around - GI had just one. You could sequence chirps with an external processor with very little data, not much more than written text. Otherwise, you could have tape drums with analogue recordings or something like that, not a good fit for a car. And well, the Texas Instruments system was just SO MUCH BETTER sounding than the General Instrument one, at least in the general purpose case - for select phrases, you could get a decent custom one from GI.
The Chrysler was "one ugly mother f***er", but there's nuthin uglier than an Aztek!
I wouldn’t be surprised if it used the same Texas Instruments synthesis chip that the Speak ‘n Spell has.
My father test drove one of these in the 80s. He drove it from the dealership to his office (about 3 miles). On the return trip to fill out the paperwork and set up financing, smoke started pouring out from under the dashboard. I remember vividly the fire department coming out and the Chrysler salesman freaking out. Needless to say, he didn't buy a Chrysler that year.
Lebanon is not ugly
RIP Lee Iacocca, the brainchild behind this beauty.
I love hoodie. He has more personality than all my 3 friends combined.
chrisfi3d C who's hoodie?
Hoodie and the blowfish? Me too!
Lol hoovie*
4:06. Far right tail light is out man. ^^
Nathan Kim - No it isn't, because "all monitored systems are functioning."
Nathan Kim *PROMPT SERVICE REQUIRED* 😏
Mista Butterworth actually that means sensors r good and it should have said “your electrical system is malfunctioning prompt service is required”
Nathan Kim lmaoo

It's not just the luxury - it's the performance!
I am old enough to remember this, It's hysterical.
Subtle rick roll
Ricardo Montalban and his Chrysler Cordoba and its rich Corinthian leather
did I get rickrolled?
yep in 2017
Yes
Mr.Awesomness! hahaha I was thinking the same thing!
Sort of
Pontiac Aztec says "The ugliest car ever made? ...hold my beer"
Fiat Multipla would say hold my beer, but it's too ugly to even go out and get beer!
Love the Rick Ashley never gonna give you up reference lol
It probably does not need a new carb - the Mikuni it has is pretty good. Likely it's a problem with the autochoke or a vacuum line. There are lots of Mikuni magicians out there that can likely work on it and get it back in working order.
4:55 best hoovies moment to date 😂😂😂
I want a talking car :(
You think you do, but you don't.
Just talk to yourself it’s far more entertaining
get a 1983 chrysler lebaron
I owned this car loved the wood paneling but hated the talking features. Couldn't get rid of it fast enough.
Hook up Siri to the stereo
KHAAAAAAAN! Welcome to Fantasy Island!
I remember this commercial...
This has got to be my most favorite video of yours. With the voice over and you pretending to be Ricardo Montalban is hilarious.
"KHAN!"
And it used to belong to Jon Voigt
I actually like that car, I would swap it with something more powerful and reliable but then I would miss the talking guy.
This looked like the car in GTA Vice City near the beach
That intro is one of the greatest things I've ever watched.
This was my 1st car. I got it in 1988. All my friends made fun of it, and girls ran from it. I sold it in 1990. It still looks good to me!
I know someone who sold a New Yorker that had no rust, ran well, red on red, talked but had a broken taillight for $600
Just driving around in John Voight's car...
WAS IT HIS PENCIL THOUGH?
have you seen a Aztec or Nissan juke.
Fiat Multipla
Aztec is the worst hands down, it's the first car I thought of when he said the Chrysler was the ugliest one ever.
aztek
fiat Multipla, aztec, ssangyong rodius, my holy trio
The Multipla is great! Underrated car
This is the first video that I watched of Hoovie’s. I’m a huge fan now. Funny seeing him without visits to the Weeezerd etc.
"It was good enough for Mr. Jon Voight".
By the 1 minute mark this was already the best video you've ever made XD
DAT INTROOOOO
should have left the song out, let it be a subtle implied rickroll
The chrysler electronic voice brings back memories.
👍❤️👍Oh this takes me back!! Loved the “talking robot” 🤖 in these cars! Built on the same platform, in 1997, I bought a 1985 Chrysler New Yorker from an elderly family friend; only had 50k miles on it. Served me very well back/forth from college for the next 2yrs after that.
Daaaamn Hoovie's parents are loaded!
Also, why on earth would you drive a car with holes in the floorboards on the highway?!
it's ok if they're in the rear footwells. i had a hole in the driver's footwell, so if i went through puddles, my leg would get wet.
That house is really awesome.
Richard S, it is called a "date" car, I had a 1964 dart that I paid $50- for back in 2000ish and I used to pick girls for first dates in it and they would all freak freak out a bit with the roadway whizzing by under thier feet and then I would make a joke about setting thier purse on the floor wasn't probably a good idea. Nowif I got another date I knew she was a keeper and I would pick her up in my 1991 dodge molester blue "rape" van and if she made it to multiple dates they finally realized I had a fleet of ran down beater cars and never had anything nice but a whole lot of crap and I knew they weren't in it for the money.
Atomic Reverend Alexander - Nice story and strategy to pick up women. XD
LOL jesus dude.. I mean I don't bust out my finest on the first date unless I'm infatuated but I don't pick them up in candy vans
Nice Rick Roll!
"Tranformer"
Robot in diguie
Very very funny. I knew someone who had one of these. And of course, there is Trains Planes and Automobiles where this model was featured.
We got Rick rolled
