"Lets Make A Deal" - Early 70's Chryslers (part 1)

[mw4mpr]

Notice how the B bodies get the loudest screams! Gotta love 'em!

[quirpco]

@mw4mpr Amen to that.  I wish I could get my '74 Charger back.

[TIMOTHYSAARINEN]

Great video! Thanks for posting it!

[quirpco]

Did winning a new car unexpectedly back then make one's life as much of a living hell as it does today?

[auaiao9]

@quirpco How can winning a car make your life a living hell? I wish I would win one.

[quirpco]

@auaiao9 It's more for people like me who are financially unprepeared to win a new car. Don't forget, you still have to pay the taxes & insurance which can be very expensive, and possibly more for gas. My car is cheap to insure, tax & maintain, and I can't afford to win a new one right now. The best I could do is sell it for the cash, which isn't easy in this economy if you try to get the full value.

[LateNightCable]

I'll take the Cadillac Monty!!!

[Nomasain]

No. 2: All Bundy's "Mighty Dodge"

[bellier20]

Pretty much the end of the days when you could actually get excited about a new car ... by '77 or '78, new cars were about as exciting as a new refrigerators. Think "Volare."

[RocknLester2011]

Those big Chryslers would destroy any suv made now . The cars were huge and made out of all steel!!! I owned a 1970 Imperial Lebarron...whatta car!!! 440 dana 44 rear torgueflite 727,,damn thing was bulletproof but thirsty as hell!!

[Christianpreaching]

those cars sure are nice! I wouldnt even want to win a new car today.

[MarkinDC]

This is great THANKS for posting. Did not realize Mopar/Chrysler sponsored LMAD then. I'd have been glad to have ANY of those cars.........

[MaestroTJS]

I don't like the fuselage Chryslers (though I liked them as a kid). They seem very dated and ugly compared to the GM's of the time, for example.

[COSANOSTRA2OO8]

haha, so cheesy

[900mohsen]

كم أتمنى هذه السيارات 

[littlealpay]

Were these contestants human? Where is the top of the line IMPERIAL?

[CadillacL]

The classic version of LMAD is better then the new, IMO.

[tomservo56954]

Those are just the display cars, so they do appear multiple times. When you win an automobile, you are allowed to choose the color and trim you want--and if you pay for them, additional options as well.

[whiteboy7931]

how did you do this video? It's Great!

[auaiao9]

I watched this show as a kid. I still enjoy the cheesy organ music in the background.

[053tekcor]

0:40 - It's Al Bundy's "Dodge"!

[1968DodgePolara]

@053tekcor Yep even his old crap was Brand New at one time LOL

[auaiao9]

@1968DodgePolara yes it was but we didn't consider it crap

[1968DodgePolara]

@auaiao9 I was referring too Al Bundy as a slob on the TV show that his crap was brand New at one time anything he has. Not meanning the Car on this Video no Mopar is crap at all . I'm a Dodge Man.

[n5rdn]

@053tekcor You mean the "Mighty Dodge", right? LOL

[DesiluTrek]

At 2:09 I was too distracted by Carol Merrill's perfect legs to notice any vintage Chrysler ...

[MidKid61]

Chrysler Royal aka 1972 DeSoto.

[gomangojoe]

I have to wonder if any of these people who won these cars still have them.

[itsjustme2919]

Oh my God that yellow duster made me want to vomit!

[TheEldweebo]

The Chrysler at 0:14 is beyond words. A gigantic green thing that barely fits on the stage. A fine example of 1970's American cheesiness. I remember my parents having a Chrysler Imperial like the one in 6:59 and I had to learn to drive with it. I failed my driving test the first two times because it was literally impossible to drive with it's immense size, sloppy steering, and horrible power brakes that would lock-up at the slightest touch of the pedal causing the car to nose-dive heavily.

[itsmegp46]

@TheEldweebo I'm thinking the car was in disrepair or you were just a very bad driver. My dad drove an Imperial of this era and I also learned to drive in it. I experienced none of the issues you described. My older brother learned to drive in a 1965 Imperial. Again, none of these issues.

[MarkinDC]

@TheEldweebo The car at 6:59 is actually a New Yorker, Imperials were never "given away." Maybe no maintenance had been done on the Chrysler you drove, I drove lots of them then (and now) and didn't have any of those problems. The Mopars of that era handled better and had tighter steering than Fords of the same era. My Mopars never do a nose dive, UNLESS the shocks were wore out.....

[70Kenny]

'72 Fury is "The knind of car America wants". That's exactly right. I want it back, dammit! Federal government, take your C.A.F.E. standards and shove it!! Get out of the car business and allow us to buy what we want.

[StanBennet]

At 5:00 he says you have a brand new boat? What's he talking about, that's what all the cars in this video were -- boats!

[Fiskaal]

Awesome cars, wish I could've lived those days... BTW, interesting to notice how the host is rather terrified of human contact, shunning away from enthusiastic contestants and appearing visibly awkward when they go and hug him.

[MaestroTJS]

@Fiskaal I noticed that in the other videos too. I wonder if he had some kind of phobia, like Howie Mandel does (and who looks equally awkward on his show).

[tryby12]

you can knock a town down in thoses big ass imperials

[darcar32]

Nice job with the video....thanks for sharing.

[1968DodgePolara]

those cas are really nice when all new looking I bet all these Cars that was shown on this show are rusting away in a junkyard right now or in someones backyard I hope not need to save the history of these big bueaties.

[DeAdiSSu3]

I bought a 1973 Plymouth Fury III for only a grand about a month ago, in good condition too. :)

[tyrese3745]

@DeAdiSSu3 The NYPD used the Plymouth Fury as their squad cars from around late 1971-early 1972 to around 1975-76, right?

[DeAdiSSu3]

@tyrese3745 Yeah something like that, i've heard of alot of police departments that used Furys as squad cars, especially highway interceptors with big blocks....if you had a big block Fury chasing you back in the day, good luck, because you were gunna need it. Those things are insanely fast, even by today's standards. I'm actually in the process of rebuilding a mopar 400 big block for my car to replace the 318. *DEVIL FACE*

[majorneptunejr]

Carol Merrill sure had a nice set legs. Too bad she was wearing the long skirts in most of shows.

[FURY1958]

Holy Shit!! I need the first Chrysler in my life right now!

[jeepthing98]

That yellow Chrysler New Yorker Brougham was massive. Would dwarf anything made today.

[jutubaeh]

@jeepthing98 accept that burger

[reddot44]

This would be more interesting if it wasn't the same 3 cars lol and the camper and boat

[sonofthesheriff]

lets make a deal for the blue & white Sattelite!!! :D

[BurkeDevlin66]

great compilation

[swami1]

I always wanted to give Carol Merrill the high hamhock.

[torch39]

Congratulations!!!! And here's another $4000.00 to replace the Carburator, transmission, wheel bearings, muffler, knobs and burn't switches within 10000 miles.

They gave me a Plymouth.... did I win?

[reynolds0224]

@torch39 looooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­l

[PawlieGR]

The front end of the red Fury III looks like an owl.

[batmanlooksgood]

@PawlieGR its Owlman's car..lol

[NESherv]

Fuselage Styling!

[tuffy2342]

The red Sebring Plus was gorgeous.

[fillmore593]

I audiences stunned silence as they gazed upon that first green Chrysler speaks for it self.

[adape0884frank]

I can't believe that the price went up on cars. These prices were around when my grandparents were around. However why doe they keep on giving the same ones over and over?

[twinsonic]

Oh, what would I give for a time machine!!!

[RedPortiaOne]

The people and the cars looked so weird in the early 70s lol

[Silvertrine]

@RedPortiaOne People werent so image and self obsessed back then, they tended to actually care about other people.

[RedPortiaOne]

I saw a Zonk mobile on the new Lets make a deal the other day, and I think it was this old car

[DTD110865]

The girl who was wearing no costume and could've won the Plymouth Duster looked cute. The 1972 Plymouth Fury III has been one of my favorites since I was a kid. The '71 or '72 Satellite Sebring looked good too, but I never thought of it as a sports car.

Paint the '73 Satellite Sebring blue, and you've got the car that Trent Lane drove on "Daria."

[zoso426]

@DTD110865 lol yea if the satellite was a hemi roadrunner then you could of said sports car lol!

[zackownsathalo3]

the sad thing is these cars are mainly in scrapyards

[kdemonde]

The female curtain girl"s name i believe was Carol Merrill man i love those huge Chrysler's back in the day my father had a 1973 Plymouth Fury III hardtop sedan he bought it in 1974 very nice, i was 7 yrs old when he bought it and i remember looking at it and how HUGE that car was. LOL!

[StephenB58]

I had a 1972 Chrysler Newport Royal, 4 door sedan. It had a 400 cid. V-8; and automatic transmission. It got around 27 miles to a gallon of gas. No lie.

[WomackPhotoKCMO]

That first Chrysler is absolutley HUGE!!!!! I WANT one!

[mrgoodvibrations]

its a '72 buddy

[marilyn69monroe]

Those 1970 s Chryslers looks much better than now days Chryslers, they had more style and comfort

[coldwarmotors]

Thanks for posting this collection! I actually drive a 1972 Chrysler Newport Royal and a 1972 Plymouth Fury 2-door, just like the ones in the video. Great old tanks with lots of charm, and almost totally extinct now. The Royal was a low-price Chrysler, trimmed more like a Plymouth taxi; mine doesn't even have a radio.

[crispiegee1]

@coldwarmotors It shows what terrible marketing decisions Chrysler made back then, creating brand confusion by having a Chrysler as stripped as a Fury I, and Fury III's as nice as any Newport. As a Mopar fan from birth, it frustrates me how much mismanagement that great company has had over the years.

[sjk72]

@coldwarmotors You should put a satellite radio in there. That would be sick!

[56BUICKRiviera]

She drove a plymouth satellite. Faster than the speed of light.

[BrocWorst]

wow that truck and camper are ugly

[quirpco]

@BrocWorst The camper's ugly, but not the truck.

[icm1970]

Nice to look at the cars but extra sweet to also look at the lovely pantyhose outfits worn by Carol Merrill and some of the female contestants.

[hoover321f]

Lord i miss the 70's!

[JokestaDk]

The price of cars crack me up 5k for a new car lol you cant buy a a hub cap now a days for 5k

[quirpco]

@JokestaDk LOL - very true!

[Niels827]

I personally think Chrysler's cars were way more beautiful than GM's, and a little better than many of Ford's. Their 1969-1973 full-size and 1971-1976 mid-size 'fuselage' cars are some of the most beautiful machines ever produced.

[icm1970]

@Niels827 Agreed. My favourite in this set is the Plymouth Satellite Sebring featured at about 6:30.

[Schrodt712002]

a lot of demo cars in this video

[BNforever2009]

I'm in Mopar Heaven!!! Just imagine a Newport w/ a 426 Hemi in it!!

[brobinson75]

:54, started thinking about Al Bundy and his Dodge :)

[monkeymichel]

a brand new tuna boat

[365degrees]

Anybody agree with me that Carol M.(MODEL) had some legs on her???

[monkeymichel]

Carol Marol was the shit!

[robertbalboni]

I think her name was Carol Merrill, or something like that. Yeah, she was one hot babe. Like to have her in the seat next to me in one of those beautiful 1970's era Chrysler luxury barges.

[redneon06]

Im surprized that I didnt know the Sebring was made in the 70's !

[frankd1965]

A friend I know has two Satellite Sebrings. A 1972 and 1973 Sebring Plus which has bucket seats and center console

[lasuvidaboy]

Those full-sized 1970s Chryslers were beasts. Good engineering but slightly funky styling compared to the more popular full-sized GM and Ford cars,

[markbotv3]

the styling was called "fuselage" it was supposed to look like the fuselage of a b-52...coincidentally thats where the band b-52s got their name. they loved full sized chryslers

[frankd1965]

actually the "wide bodied" jets that were coming out.

[DTD110865]

@markbotv3

I thought they got their name from the retro-1960's beehive hairdos Cindy Wilson and Kate Pierson wore.

[apatheticempathy]

Chrysler "ROYAL" ? Never heard of one of that type. Funny most of the full Chyslers ended up at the demo derby.

Where are the Dodge Challengers or Plymouth Cudas ???

[retroolschool]

Royals were not only made very briefly in the early seventies but in the late thirties too.

[70Kenny]

"Royal" was actually the name for the entry level trim package on the Newport. I had a Newport Royal in high school in the late '80's. It was a '72, just like the green one in this video. Man, I miss that car every day!

[markbotv3]

i have a 71 plymouth sport fury. 440

[frankd1965]

@apatheticempathyThe Royal was aprt of the The Chrysler Newport trim line.

[jdillmeister]

wow...this may as well be a million years ago (so to speak)....

[chevelle396guy]

I have never heard of a boat made by Chrysler. Intresting.

[rainydaywoman1957]

do they still have dinettes?

[txpipedad]

Reminds me of a riff from Mystery Science Theater 3000: "The Chrysler Imperial--The car that thinks it's a house!"

[vividwatch47]

The Imperial was a distinctive, if underrated car.

[waystedkiss]

back in the day we called 'em ...DUSTPANS.

[Doobie1975]

What kind of car is on the show?

[aryathorn]

Fuselage ERA called Chrysler cars

[spritz0]

Cool stuff here, I remember my friend's Plymouth Satellite Sebring Plus... NOW I ironically own a Chrysler Sebring (new one)!!!

[bajabusta]

My boss has a 72 sebring plus, in blue!

[spritz0]

Is it restored?

[bajabusta]

yup, good looking car, those pluses! He used to have an orange one w/ a full white top and factory sunroof, but he sold it to my brother in the early nineties and he totaled it. Ah the times before the internet. Could have been fixed w/ the appropriate resources! The current one has a half white top, but both had/have keystone classics, set it off nicely

[markbotv3]

lol my 69 el camino had keystone clasics...cant hardly find those wheels no mo.

[vividwatch47]

I hope you enjoy it! I owned a '98 Chrysler Sebring convertible that I sold a year and a half ago. I miss that car! Does yours have a Mitsubshi engine? Mine did! Interestingly, the Sebring was the best selling (and most rented) convertible for five years in a row!

[spritz0]

Just look up on the search feature of YouTube 2007 Chrysler Sebring Sedan- they are COMPLETELY different from the last model year which was similar to yours (last model run for the old series ended in 2006...). Mine has a 2.4litre Chrysler engine.
