I'm in the 3rd generation, of four, in a Chrysler family. My first car was a 20-year-old '57 Belvedere. Dad had a Superbird, Fury, Road Runner, and Cuda. Still miss those fine rides and all other Plymouths. Your car slides at the end bring back lots of memories. Thanks for this great review. Mopar or Nocar!!
I miss the old American automotive companies. Plymouth, AMC, Eagle, Oldsmobile, Saturn, Pontiac, Mercury
Plymouth dies while Christine still lives on.
I have and still own Plymouths. 67 & 68 Barracudas, 71 road runner, and a 97 Neon. Loved them all.
I have owned many many Plymouths over the years, they ALL were strong dependable cars.
Seems as if plymouth is completely forgotten today. I for one have not seen a plymouth or heard about them in years.
Absolutely fantastic video! I'm a big fan of Plymouth so I really enjoyed it. Add to my playlist. Thank you.
When I was 16 back in the early 90’s, I had a chance to own a 1969 Plymouth Road Runner, it had a 383 with 440 lifters and four on the floor. It was dark blue with a white vinyl top, black interior. A guy at my Dad’s job was selling it for $6,000 and it’s condition was near mint. I passed on it because I was worried about driving it in the snow with rear wheel drive...that and I had a premonition I might get myself killed in it. At the time, I had a lead foot and drove like I was in NASCAR...passing on the car probably saved my life. This was my only chance to own a Plymouth. I wonder what ever happened to that sweet ride.
My second car was a 1972 Plymouth Fury III with a 318 engine. I often hear people talk about the wonder of the Slant 6, but I think the 318 was just as good!
I'm still pissed about Desoto and Studebaker being cancelled.
Plymouth made great cars back then. My Dad used to own a beautiful '67 Belvedere I miss that car.
My '68 Sport Satellite 383 will always have a special place in my heart. I loved that car, wish I still had it.
I love how easy it was for the German executives to just cancel the brand, and nobody was even fired in the process. It was just "OK guys, you all work at Dodge now."
Growing up my family had a Plymouth Voyager. Lots of great memories. My older sister when she was 16 drove that van to school and back with no oil in the engine and it lived to drive another day
Today I still own and care for my Spinnaker White 1978 Plymouth Volare Roadrunner SuperPak Coupe!. Yes, Mopar fans, you've seen it when it was featured in Hemmings Muscle Machines Magazine in 2005. Yes, it came at the tail end of the Muscle car era, however, I wanted an affordable Crusier for Saturdays / Car shows. This Plymouth allowed my two geared daughters and I entrance into an exclusive club of Mopar enthusiasts . The youthful upgrades are always appreciated at shows with lots of raised eyebrows and questions like, "I didn't know Plymouth made a car like this? What year is it". Wow! Beep - Beep......Mopar or No Car.......Plymouth lives on!
As kid growing up in Detroit, in the 50's & early 60's - my friends & I never thought about Plymouth ever being any more than a "cheaped-out" Dodge - that feeling seems to be echoed to a large extant in this video - the one exception being the Barracuda, which was highly regarded !!
Thanks for doing this. I know it was a stretch for you to go back so far. Your content has largely been more contemporary in nature. I mentioned before that I was the envy of my middle school class because my GRANDMOTHER bought a Baracuda. She went into the dealership and told them she had a small garage and she had to have a shorter car. My guess is they either had a promotion for the salesmen to push the Baracuda or they didn't have any Valiants. That would have been the logical car to place her in.
I'm only 30 lol but my favorite vehicle from the Plymouth brand was the Conquest TSI!!! I know it was a Mitsubishi underneath but what a good looking car!
So Plymouth pretty much suffered the same way as Pontiac over at GM.
