General Motors most beautiful car in my opinion is the 1959 Buick. The entire redesigned 1959 lineup was a result of GM scrambling to catch up with Chrysler's "Forward Look" cars of 1957. Chrysler caught Ford and Gm with their pants down with their redesigned 1960 new 1957 models. There's the...

Here's rhe polara for contrast. These are just much nicer looking than the Dart series (and lI ove the 60 Darts too) but the fins are just far too small on the Darts. Everytime i look at the rear I am disappointed. Forward Look cars always had stunning fins. 57's and 58's are all fantastic...

I like the Phoenix too,but wish the fins were larger like the Polara and Matators. The fins are the biggest disappointment on the Dart series and I have no idea why they were so conservative with the fins on the Dart when all the other Chrysler products were getting wilder and larger fins. When...

The slant six powered 1960 Dart 4drs curb weight was 3,630,the 60 Savoy was 3,540 They honesty were not bad at all as daily drivers. All of mine had the push button automatics. The flat six in.the 57's with a 2 speed powerflite was a slug. That being said I prefer the 318 cars. 1957...

I had 2 1960 Plymouth Savoys (2dr sedans) with the slant 6's and automatics. They were not bad at all. I got around in them just fine. Kept up with modern traffic just fine,even on the freeway. I think the weight on those cars was only 3,400 or so. I would have kept them but they were rusty and...

It seems impossible to find anyone to cast these glitter grip wheels anymore. These dodge wheels and the plymouth "aero wheels" nearly always have the translucent sections missing or crumbling away.

This is the first year of the Dart model,and one of Chryslers wildest and most.futuristic dashes ever Interesting that this one has the cone shaped turn signal wand. Usually only the Phoenix model got that. Beautiful cars but I like the Matador and Polaras even better because they have larger...

The only Uncle Tony video i watched was the one where he was talking about A.body rear ends. It surprised me because he is the only person I've ever heard saying anything positive about the 7 1/4" rear end. He called it a "downsized Dana60" and said "in a car less than 3300lbs and 300hp these...

Wow! Those are pretty cool looking.

I've always wondered if anyone has ever taken a 1970 fromt.end and put it on a 67-69 body. I never cared for the slanted rear end on the 70-1972 cars

Other's beat me to it,but I thought of the truckster too. You think you hate it now,wait til you drive it!

My vote goes for the factory 2 headlight setup. Four headlights throws off the clean look and visual balance of the front end on this car. Generally speaking Chrysler knew best and their cars look their finest as they left the factory. There are exceptions like the "beak era" cars where you...

Exactly! Ethanol is also hygroscopic,undergoes phase separation...there's nothing good about it at all for drivers. I suppose we should be thankful the tyrants still let us drive these cars anymore....I feel sorry for those who collect 1976 and later cars out here. Anything 1976 and later still...

Yep,this is a big problem in California. The ethanol does a number on traditional rubber diaphragms in fuel pumps,rubber fuel lines,as well as carb kits. Ethanol fuel also causes less efficient combustion which results in reduced mileage....but it's "green". Lol.

Thanks Cranky. I appreciate it.
