1960 Plymouth Commercial

[gojoe283]

Virgil Exner's fins were overdone. Ford and Chevy were starting to tone them down; both had horizontal fins instead of vertical. And they rusted with a vengeance. But MoPar was always in front with engineering, torsion bars and the slant six, alternators, etc.

[thespeez]

Nicely styled cars, save for the 2-door hardtop!

[doomedamerica]

back when america was america..white guys worked like dogs and built great cars,trucks homes etc..now its all blacks,mexcians indians etc,sucking the money sytem dry and america is going to implode now...real soon,prepare!

[sharkfin60]

Lucky to own 2 Suburbans one Fury and one Belvedere both from -60.Highest fins that year !

[extremehockeyfan]

man i want that car!! and im only 17 lol

[scotsmuscle]

my mom had one of these. - it seemed so big when i was 3 years old.

[gettuff2]

Had one of these when I turned 16. It was the bees knees...

[packjim56]

Its my grandpa's car.

[Phase171]

Plymouth Fury for 1960, the angriest looking mother-fucker on the road.

[presidentbren]

I'm sorry, but I think the 60 Plymouths are about the ugliest cars.

[tonidmc]

@presidentbren I'm totally agree, those fins fit horrendously on that body style and a 58 is a far morre beautiful car.

[execdyke91]

Wow a real commercial with substance. The television world must sure miss these days

[steffidude]

@execdyke91 That is why I gave up cable.

[MattTheSaiyan]

I prefer the old-idea of a tiny number of long commercials instead of an insane amount of short ones. I've seen shows from this era, uncut with original ads, and having 24 minutes of show and two 2-minute commercials is way better than the modern system.

[dancer46722]

How could the kids see the movie at the drive in with the rear view mirror attached to the dash??? Virgil Exner sure designed some cars that had character. Too bad Chrysler had him fired.

[7fixsfj3]

I'm a serious car nut, but I think the song and the car were competing against each other. Is THAT how they made car commercials 50 years ago?? Nice commercial nonetheless!

[FabrizzioCastagnola]

Today, this commercial would have a rap tone, a black person would be the seller of the car, selling to a silly stupid fat nerdy ignorant and confused white man.

[1952kid]

Just imagine sitting on your living room couch ,now add a steering wheel. Thats how cars used to be.

[102Help]

these cars had a reacord player under the dash boards. i know cause i went to a classic auto shop and i saw that. this was not in the 61 model. kinda neat tho. eh?

[dalekrueger]

my dad had a1960 plymouth,said he could not wear it out,my aunt sold it finally it had well over 170,000 on it still didn't use any oil

[impossibledrms]

Solid Cool

[fordroad]

wow what a car just a presitine design. 5 ******

[ccrraaazzy]

looks meaner than christine

[emlie01]

neat

[cssmd2000]

Can someone please explain the symbolism of the herse in the video. Was it an older model or a different make?

[clydetwopointoh]

Well, you must be a young whippersnapper. You see that "herse" (as opposed to "hearse") was what we old-timers use to call a "station wagon". It was the predecessor of the SUV and is in fact a 1960 Plymouth station wagon. That's why it's in the commercial.

[cssmd2000]

Cool, i don;t remember since I. was only 6 months old when they built the car. I do remember our 66 New Yorker.

[dfrony]

I Just bought another 60 Savoy, its on its way from the U.S. to Australia as I write, can't wait.

[Cris43130]

I detect a probably deliberate attempt to impersonate Pat Boone on the part of the vocalist. Boone was well known as a spokesman for Chevrolet at the time.

[whtulookinat]

no s### sherlock

[cincyblows]

Jerk

[whtulookinat]

rofl.....loser

[cincyblows]

STFU. Your mom and I are trying to sleep.

[whtulookinat]

best part of you ran down your moms leg the other day

[cincyblows]

I think you mean YOUR mom. Your is the family tree that lacks branches.

Not only that, you drive a Gremlin.

[berzy56]

Thanks for posting this.... I'm surprised they didn't show a convertible or 2-dr hardtop. I have a convertible Fury, fully restored. Magnificent machine - and it gets 20 mpg if you're careful...

[kirkenbunken]

This makes me want to vote for Kennedy and listen to Dean Martin records!

[Charger426]

This car is beautiful, love those fins! Chevy can't even compare to the design and power of those old mopars!

[homerthompsonman]

Hip and solid! It ah was solid, right? Your saying solid? Not salad or stolid, but solid? Right? Good. Ok, solid it is. Now I get it. Solid.

Don't forget ugly. But you would never do that.

Solid.

[1960PlymouthFury]

i love this car!this is my dream car! and im only 13. i also agree with madsixtian.very awsome video love the part when the band gets all wild at 0:32

[dalekrueger]

my dad had a 1960 plymouth and he really liked that car, couldn't wear it out

[1bri13]

i just finished building a 1960 plymouth suburban wagon. it sat for 20 years. i drove for the first time on friday. its a solid land boat. cant do that with many cars today.

[Lousybarber]

I saw one of these at a car show a few years ago. When you see it in person it is even uglier than in the commercial. The 1959 Buick Invicta is probably worse though. Ugly as sin.

[inkey2]

I totally agree with you "lousybarber"....the 1960 plymouth was a total dog....I read that Plymouth got caught off guard ....still having tail fins in 1960. It really has an awkward, ridiculas look

[ballinalan]

i have a large organ

[slumpyb]

right...until the steering wheel goes through your chest, or you go through the windshield...or you hit your head on the STEEL dash!

[ElCastrador]

installing seatbelts is about as hard as seat cushes, and then that doesn't happen

[madsixtian]

OK, Bison. Tell you what - let's see a collision (even a minor rear-ender) between a 2007 Toyota and that '60 Plymouth. Even without seat belts guess which car I'd rather be in? Hint - Not the Toyota. Sure, we're comparing apples to oranges here, and I remember growing up riding in cars with seat belts in them as options ONLY, but I'd have a better chance surviving an accident today if I were in that 1960 car as opposed to the cars that we have today that are as flimsy as a can of Pepsi.

[HemiFreak94]

he dont diss pepsi

[inkey2]

yes MADSIXTIAN.....a friend of mine was driving his mint 1957 Chrysler, Saratoga and stopped for a red light. A new car "rear ended him" the car that hit him had the entire front end demolished. The 57 chrysler only had a dent in the bumper the size of a quarter. It was like rear ending a freight train.

[kfs025]

makes you realise how BAD modern car adds are!

[anonym10000]

how much was a car like this in former times?

[Ej205scoob]

3-4k depending on options. Was a lot of money back then.

[sexysagi]

Gorgeous car!! Love the styling, especially the fins! Cars really had style then; and the jingle is very nice!

[hep2jive]

at 32 seconds, I love how the band gets all crazy! SHAG!!!

[hep2jive]

hahahaha i like my 49 better

[checkerz18]

what a TERRRRRIBLE car, absolutely apauling, ugly big petrol guzzling piece of american shite. not to mention one of the worst cars to drive with the stupid bed spring suspension AND ROLL!

[dalekrueger]

my dad had one and he said he could not wear it out

[montego13]

Hey limy!, they had torsion bars not springs.

[greatbison]

A good number of these cars are still in good running condition. They may have been fuel thirsty, but they were built like tanks and cost a lot less money to maintain and repair. Modern cars get $4000 worth of body damage from a grocery basket ding. Also, you are comparing modern cars to 50 year old technology. Apples and oranges.

[cleftronix]

The unfortunate people who owned a '59, must of had plenty of shake, rattle and roll from they way they are singing this jingle!

[RobDog65]

1960 was the first year Chrysler offered Unibody construction for its full-sized cars. In this commercial they were pitching the smoothness of the ride that the Unibody cars had. This was probably the smoothest-riding American car offered that year. Including Caddies. :)

[BuddyHollysEdselGirl]

Don't you dare dis the Plymouth Musicom67! It is a gorgeous car! You can't get quality like that today. Zimchar, this Fury played a small role in another pretty good Stephen King movie, Riding The Bullet. It was a really nice car. Personally, I think that the most evil looking Plymouth was the 1961 Plymouth. Kinda like the '59 Buick...

[myandy99]

What a Beauty!

[exquisiteoaf]

This car is rolling sculpture. You can dislike it but if you just dismiss it as ugly you're not the sharpest tailfin in the garage. Real ugly is something like a Pontiac Aztek.

[zomgxsophie]

i wish car commericals these days had these awesome songs =D

[zimchar]

Why wasn't the 1960 fury model year fury Christine? It looks much more evil and badass, with the right paintjob of course.

[7772399]

Not a bad advert, but I prefer the '62 Plymouth (as seen in the movie "My Favorite Martian").

[mobilene]

Aieeeee! Those fins put my eye out!

[enigma413]

Blame Virgil Exner for the body style. (That is if you hate it.)

[musicom67]

God what an UUUGGGLLLYYYYY car!!!!! those fins are nasty.

[dalekrueger]

better looking than a delorian

[TheFamilyTruckster]

Does that mean all the Plymouths before '60 had shake rattle & roll!

[pescadoygamba]

wow,no more shake rattle and roll,(about the unibody) but that was the year for the end of rock n roll(bill hayley etc) and the start of the beatles.how prophetic.

[hillbillyradicalrick]

"the answer to all your dreams"

[sneyder69]

wow nice car

[tomshoot]

Vintage is power... Respect to the creators of this advert!

Peace

[bencar1976]

I want a copy of this, I own a 4-Dr 1960 Plymouth Savoy.

[Tennesseedolly]

The 1960 looks older than the "57,"58,"59's then the "61 & "62 ??? What happened? They killed it!

[AndreSm95]

Very good vocalists! The female vocalist has a beautiful voice.

[exquisiteoaf]

Advertising jingles are not what they used to be.

[707320i]

great commercial, visuals and music
