1961 Plymouth History Video

I know there has been an uptick in interest in the 1960-61 Plymouth cars.

 Since My Grandfather had a station wagon, I have fond memories of riding in it. Here is a video with more about the 1961 cars.

My 1961 Plymouth story? The mom of one of one of my elementary school classmates drove a robin's eggs blue 4-door that was probably a Savoy, maybe a Belvedere. It was really plain. By 1968-69, if there was a school field trip, none of the guys (and hardly any of the girls) would ride in that car. It was that fugly, nobody wanted to be seen in it. I think she finally gave up volunteering to drive.

My buddy had a '61, what a piece of junk. It was his mom's car and his dad NEVER  changed the oil in it.

I helped him change the valve cover gasket and do an oil change. The valve springs were all but visible under the coat of sludge. I talked him out of cleaning it off.

The oil filter was the OG from '61. It weighed around 4 lbs and was 100% blocked up.

In my younger days I would have thought that this thing was Fugly too…but now I can appreciate it as a unique classic.😎
