Yeah buddy you got it congratulations =) Be sure to tune in next time 430 Eastern standard time to what it’s like 1956 ford fairlane crown Victoria

@@What.its.like. That group the union gap,,, so cool, but "NOWADAYS", it's looked at as "PEDOPHILIA" ,,,,,, the words of the song.

@@What.its.like. Did I miss something? Who was offended?

@libearian it was the response to 29madmans comment I swear I feel like America’s new past time is being offended

I honestly forgot to include that she’s a trip, my best friend, couldn’t image life without her =)

Thank you it was a good moment that’s her favorite song =) i’ve been showing her some classic rock in the rock ‘n’ roll will sing this Magic moment every now and then she only knows the first line. I drive her to school with my 52 Chevy every now and then the kids dig her getting on of the truck, It’s just a super cool experience

Yes, nobody likes "IDOT" lights.

Totally true

The '60 is my absolute favorite Pontiac, ever. On the gauges, they were the "same" after 1958. 1958 used fuel, coolant temp, engine oil pressure and ammeter. 1959-60 both kept fuel and ammeter with lights for oil pressure and coolant temp COLD/HOT. 1961-on removed the green COLD lamp. 1969 replaced the ammeter with a GEN light. Did you notice the HIGH BEAM indicator under the 60mph line? Its a Pontiac indian head.

Yeah it was such a cool Easter egg

@@What.its.like. Pontiac used that high beam indicator 1960-70 on the full-size cars. Another easter egg is the Pontiac arrowhead-shape rear side marker lights on the 1968s.

Totally agree I wouldn’t mind if this one followed me home

Haha yeah we used to do that in the 90s before car seats

Thank you so much for all this information =) I didn’t know the senior models use the four-speed automatic ( original hydra-matic) I know somewhere around this time that unit gets replaced by the turbo hydra-matic. I really want to find a tempest model to review before the end of the year as well as a long wheelbase model it would be really cool to find all three and compare them because this looks proportionately correct for me and to see it on a 4 inch longer wheelbase will be very interesting =)

@@What.its.like. The first Tempests used the Corvair chassis, although they had a front-mounted engine. It also shared the Powergled transaxle although Pontiac called it the TempestTorque. 4 cyl. versions had a long driveshaft about the size of a little finger which connected the engine to the transaxle. Those which eventually got the 215 V8 had a driveshaft about the size of a thumb. Both driveshafts were supported by multiple bearings. The Turbo-Hydramatic did not exist until 1965, which was the TH400. The first version was the Super Turbine 400, which didn't have a 2nd gear position. Only Buick and Cadillac used it in 1964. Cadillac referred to the ST 400 as 'automatic transmission and the TH 400 as the 'dual-range automatic transmission' through 1980. Buick still referred to it as the ST 400 through 1967, although it gained the 2nd gear position as did the TH 400 in 1965. The differentiation between the ST 400 and the TH 400 was that the ST 400 had a variable-pitch stator(actually 2 position), which was exclusive to Buick . The Super Turbine 300, a 2-spd. automatic, was introduced in 1964. Internally, it was nearly identical to the Aluminum Powerglide and internal geartrain parts were nearly identical and interchangeable, but heavier duty. The forward and direct drums had an extra clutchplate. The one used in Buick had a variable pitch stator(2 position). The one used in Pontiac and Olds didn't. The Monkeemobile, built from the 1966 GTO used in the T.V. series, "I Dream of Jeanie" had a ST 300 and did NOT have a variable-pitch stator. And yes, I have seen the car close-up and it only had one electrical wire going to it for the passing gear kickdown. This was when I also met and talked to George Barris at the SEMA show. Those with 2 wires usually had the variable-pitch stator, but in the last year(s) of the ST 300 was used for emission control, for a high gear switch. The Buick Special was re-introduced for the 1961 model year, having the new V6. It also shared it's chassis with Corvair and like the Pontiac, had a front-mounted engine, but the transmission was directly and conventionally attached to the engine. Although it also had a Dynaflow automatic, it was unlike the other Dynaflows in that the gear reduction planetary gear was located inside the torque converter.

Thank you she’s a trip, one of a kind happy-go-lucky personality ( just like her dad) thank you for sharing that trivia =)

I saw this car as an entry in the book of collectible cars and I was always like wow that thing looks incredible but I’ve never seen one in person until I did this episode.. I kind of sort of want one.. I think this made my top 10 list of cars that I would like to own one day I might do that as an episode.

Glad you liked this episode she has been singing that song a lot when she’s ready she is going to have a go herself =) we try and have have Thank you so much for the added information I didn’t know about the Catalina sedan

This is the first time I saw this car in the flesh, it had made the top ten list of cars I’d like to own. I’ll have to find a safari and tempest the 4 cylinder engine sounds interesting plus tempest offered a aluminum block 215 v8 which on paper sounds pretty cool. So many subtle lines that looked great on screen looked even better in person.

Glad you dig the channel too k what seemed to be forever to find a format that works, I try to bring some thing that no other channel brings, and just have fun =) I’m super stoked about this year and can’t wait for the car season to start I’ll look for a breezeway =)

I wouldn’t mind owning this car in fact I kind of sort of wish that that one would follow me home it was the only one I’ve ever seen in person and it’s just stellar But out of all of the cars for sale at classic auto Mall if I could own any single one of them it would be the 1937 Packard 115 c because it has a flat head sex it doesn’t use as much gas it works like a prestigious Packard if you know nothing about Packards and it’s just not over the top like some of the super eights and 12s could be..

@@What.its.like. I agree!

Totally agree it plays into yesterday’s episode I personally just don’t get it. I’d rather have crank windows less to go wrong. I have had windows come off the tracks with both manual and electric windows

Thank you so much I try to be as thorough as possible and show these cars for what they are and bring something to the table not found anywhere else =) glad you dig

Thank you she’s a trip I hope she never loses her personality =)

Thank you so much Great story sorry your mom didn’t have the car long what did she get afterwards, glad everyone was ok

Interesting =)

I need to find the team-set and the tempest wagon never saw those in the wild either =) This car could have followed me home

Glad you dig totally agree =)

Thank you so much for sharing that information =)

The 62 Bel Air had a bubble top.

Glad you dig this episode =) she’s great some of the stuff she knows at 6 blows my mind. I hope she never loses her personality

That’s awesome I’m glad seeing this car took you back to a better time =) this car has stellar lines. Not as showy as the 60 but when your up close it’s an incredible design =)

She’s the best =)

@@What.its.like. Yep.

Awesome =)

That awesome my voice is nothing what it used to be I could go note for note with Brian Wilson and hit mike loves low knows. I just never did anything with it I used to karaoke but really haven’t sang in 8 years until recently What Instruments so you play

Thank you so much for that information =)

Try to bring something no other channel offers =)

I have no idea what Chloe is going to be she definitely definitely has a character personality that I hope that she never loses.

Thank you so much for your service I’ve heard so many stories of people going off to war and then having really cool car collections and their parents to sell everything I think that’s totally nuts.

Oh man you’re so close you got the artist but not the song young girl

@@What.its.like. maybe next time Justin

That’s her favorite she was singing it by herself maybe next time she’ll do it alone =)

Haha yeah that was crazy. But all things considered I would t mind if that followed me home. That was the first time i saw one in reality, and I love it. =)

@@What.its.like. and those Eight Lug wheels! Those things absolutely MAKE a Sixties Poncho!

@@What.its.like. I forgot to mention that my brother and I had a 1960 Ventura that one of my dad's shop customers GAVE us... Back in the Eighties when we were in high school. That was when I decided that the '60 looked more like an Oldsmobile than a Pontiac... But they redeemed themselves in '61😁

Glad you dig this video =)

Thank you so much =)

Glad you dig this episode. Call is going to make more appearances especially for random stuff at the end of the videos. She has a really great personality and I hope she never loses it. She is happy go Lucky just like her dad =)

Awesome, was this car as floaty as the Chevy?

@@What.its.like.That was like 50 years ago so I can't accurately say, but I can say that it did not ride like an Oldsmobile or Chrysler. I just remember that we opened it up on the highway for about 2 miles and when we parked it we just paused and stared at it in unbelief for a few minutes. At the time my brothers friend had a 70 GTO that they cruised around the city in so we were used to speed, but this car was a pleasant surprise.

Yeah I almost use the other part “With all the charms of a woman” as it was panning into the front Pontiac logo I should have kept that I change it at the last sec lol

I honestly didn’t know about the wheels going to hit this car again when I find a Catalina version Starchief Bonneville and I would love to find the Tempest I will definitely research is eight lug wheels =)

That makes sense but this car did not have slab styling it was a lot going on lots of different lines.. it has the same bullet spear that the Buick Invicta has as well I should’ve pointed that out but I didn’t..

@@What.its.like. the A pillar is just an upside down from the A pillar of the 1960 model

@@What.its.like. of you look at thr black so called wings they are not wings for the side backs are squared off like slabs

Ventura was a model Pontiac offered from 1960-1970 I should have explained it better, forgot to add model detail and what the Ventura competed with. One day I’ll make the perfect video where everything is perfect. Lol try to be as though as possible thank you for noticing =)

Executive (a person who executes arbitrary orders) Catalina Island, California Ventura, California Bonneville, Utah 🤣😁

@@slicksnewonenow thanks I forgot about the short-iived Pontiac Executive as well. Or the Parisienne that was born in Canada and later emigrated to the US 😂Give me a 1954 2 door Catalina hardtop all optioned out with a visor and that cool tufted button interior and I'll be in heaven❣

@@What.its.like. hey Jay your videos are always spot on and I get a lot of enjoyment from watching. I learn a lot, too. I love when you get to the "buttons, switches and knobs" part and show the dash. It's Pontiac that fell off the cliff with this one‼

That’s one of my favorite things too there’s a lot going on with a lot of those dashboards that you just simply don’t see like for the very first time when doing a 55 Chevy the close-up of the dashboard reveals a little tiny Chevy bowties that you may never see.. I try to bring something totally different than anything else offered out there I love where the formula is now but I keep making little changes to try to improve each episode so it’s not like watching everything over and over again I plan on hitting the Chrysler turbine car again because that episode just didn’t get the exposure that I was hoping for. And I listen to a lot of people in the comment section somebody said to slow my roll and Bring it down a notch or two so I tried that but it doesn’t sound like me it sounds very robotic and I don’t like the way that that video turned out. But all of that aside if you’ve never watched it and you don’t have anything going on today it is the most in-depth Chrysler turbine video out there it explains all of the gauges shows all the gauges I didn’t get very good picture of the gauges so I found material printed material of the gauges

Yeah lol =)

Thank you for that correction I’ll fix that that was a duh moment =)

@@What.its.like. we all have them now and then. LOL.

That’s crazy but that was a lot of money then I remember grandpa saying he was buying cars for 25 bucks.. .15 at McDonald’s which is hard for me to Fathom

@@What.its.like. I had a 57 s88 j2olds conv. which I paid 1100$ with a lifetime trans warrentee I traded it for a 60 ford 1yr old with a friend as he loved the car and traded it on a 60caddilac conv added 800$.

@@What.its.like. when I was 8 a 32ford side mount v8#roadster pickup was at the junkyard ran wanted 25$for it dad said no smoked wasn't worth it they burned it then cut up for scrap iron 🤕

I’m not sure if thats original mileage here is the link maxmotive.com/vehicle/1977-pontiac-grand-prix-u1234/

This is a car is one I want to drive one day

It’s our trademark, that was my daughter saying it

Appreciate the feed back most people like the format it’s ok to be different that’s what makes people watch when it’s something different what’s the point in watching if everyone does it the same way I do tons of research for each of these and the information conflicts each other sorry I didn’t explain the tri power set up I don’t want to be Steve who ever I want to be me a present these cars my way different than what everyone else brings to the table.

@@What.its.like. i appreciate your honesty, I expected an arrogant response from your age group. There’s nothing “different” about content that’s devoid of learning. Your audience can’t learn anything from crotch space under a steering wheel, or whether or not a camera will fit in a glovebox, but what do I know? 😆 I would think taking pointers from people like “Steve what’s his name” who makes an actual living doing this would be productive for you, rather than continuing to make vapid videos. If that’s the attitude, I’m done watching, and I wish you luck. Frankly, most of the crap in that complex are poorly done, cash grab, stuff and buff con jobs that are languishing until the right sucker *ahem* “buyer” comes along anyway. 😆

I’ll have to look into that because now that you mention it I’m not entirely sure I did reviews of both but I might vaguely remember that there was pods with idiot lights in them..

No. The optional gauges started in 1964.

Easier to move the cars when cars are into neutral

Gary Puckett and the union gap Young girl

=) i’ve only owned one Pontiac and that was the Sunfire and it wasn’t very good. In fact it’s probably the worst car that I ever owned. And that’s saying something because at one point in time I had a 1993 Ford Explorer but it was a three door. That I bought to learn to drive stick on heaviest clutch of any vehicle I’ve ever driven. It was like pushing down a 30 pound weight every time you wanted to change your gear. It really sucked when you came to a hill with the point that I’m trying to get to is that car was held together by rust. The suspension was always being held by gravity. And the key cylinder for the ignition was bad, it had keyless go if you forgot your keys at home no worries you didn’t need them if you put your foot on the clutch and turn the key it would fire right up.. but it was flaky I didn’t do it all the time so it was always a good idea to have your keys handy if it decided not to start. The Pontiac Sunfire was worse than that. Candle lights and jam jars were brighter than the low beams were. The high beams you could see 5 inches in front of it. When it rained the lights were nonexistent. The only time that you could really drive the car at night was when there was a full moon invisibility at night was somewhat decent. The car is only saving grace was it was phenomenal in the snow. But that’s it it wasn’t good in the transmission line broke in the middle of downtown Pittsburgh and I had to push it off the road while people were beeping the horn at me. I asked them if they would like to help me instead of beeping the horn too which I got no help in return but they stop beeping. Haha little trip down memory lane

People say the Edsel from end is that to be fair this has that look more and there is nothing wrong with that, just pointing that out =)
