Is this the coolest custom Chrysler New Yorker ever? With an ultra-clean orange and purple paint job that glitters like a disco ball, this 1962 classic is turning heads faster than a dog spotting a squirrel. It’s got a roaring 440 cid 7.2-liter V8 engine that purrs like a tiger on a hot tin roof, plus a 727 Transmission and side exhaust pipes that make it sound like a rock concert on wheels. Add air suspension and a lock diff, and you’ve got an epic ride that’s as smooth as it is stunning. Enjoy the show!

John C from Bloomington, MN, shares his first car adventure with a ’71 Plymouth Satellite Sebring, purchased for $700 from paper route savings and a dad’s loan. Despite its mild 318 engine and a sticky automatic choke, John jazzed it up with aluminum slots, chrome rims, and a leopard-skin interior. A proud “fix-it” ticket for being too jacked up was a badge of honor among friends with their own quirky rides, from a ’68 Mustang GT to a project V8 Vega.

Step back in time with the Chrysler Windsor 1940, where ‘fluid drive’ was not a fancy way of saying your car was leaking! Launched in 1939, the Windsor took a WWII break before cruising again until 1961 in the USA and 1966 in Canada. With a 250.6 CID L-head six engine, this beauty let you idle in 1st gear like a boss—though you still had to shift like your grandpa. Check out the vintage pics that make you wish cars still came with a ‘clutch pedal workout’ option!
