no

what are you gonna do listen to a 70s radio

@@sadokbarbouche9427 nah just bring your brass record player and crank up the Al Bowly :)

Sadok Barbouch, uh, yes. Definitely. Every time!

I was gona say that lol. The coolant needs replacing in that car

Josh Dupigny lol I didn’t know that

I assumed that most Top Gear fans just knew this. Weird that Doug doesnt.

I think doug should do all his videos together with James may instead. The videos should rise about the triple against todays views.

Yep, seems like this carquru does´nt even watch Top Gear... Any TG fan knew this.

Elite2k you sir are an OG

hate these comments but that was fun

This made me actually laugh out loud xD

Lmfaooo 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Since this comment is on every Doug video and was never funny it is even more unfunnier than it was supposed to be.

Back in the seventies , not ALL wheels were formed as a circle . According to Mr. Doug Demuro ! !

Yes sir lol

LOL yeah just about. The dude needs to go to B&H online and order a pro 4K camera. He has to be bringing int he money. Hell my silly channel as a hobby I get $200-$300 a month.

At least he got rid of the massive, light up clip on mic...

It's not the size of the tools. It's how to use them.

No, it proves that content of the video really matters, not quality of the video footage. 90% of the good quality video on YT is utter crap.

He should step up the beavis an butthead wardrobe and get some cool threads! lol

I see you have been watching Top Gears India special when James May had a Rolls Royce silver shadow and kept pressing it

English cars; So unreliable you have to check if the idiot lights work.

Kevin S I believe their called warning lights, and its a great feature, we have a Vauxhall vectra and most of the time the warning lights don't work along with the dials (speedometer revcounter fuel gage, temp gage) and its German. I'd love that light to see if the coolant light still worked.

Padraig O'Donnell where I grew up they were called Idiot lights because it was used in place of a gauge. Base model cars use to have a Speedo and a fuel gauge. That’s it. And that’s kind of proving the point. You know your car is junk when the warning lights don’t warn you..

Yeah he didn’t bother to look it up in the manual....

very ahead of it’s time

Oh everybody likes entitlement, but have to agree, grammar darling grammar.

Awful.

Holy shit you people are pathetic.

@@FunBoysGaming May I suggest, more sugar in your Earl Grey.

Warwick Rigby Indeed, indeed. Oh how I sympathize with the plight of those who simply can not understand!

He means “Flagship”. Phantom is a metaphor for flagship

Jake Griffin no he didn’t. Doug meant exactly what themixedfamily said. That’s the kind of guy he is.

Bobby Gabinadina A lot of these millennials drive me up the WALL! They speak of earlier generations with conviction as though they were there. They also make things up and pass them off as fact. This guy was very hard to listen to. He has a bizarre over-dramatic way of speaking and breathing which makes me cringe...bizarre!

I know, this guy never takes a breath. I watched a few of these videos. I am interested in the cars but he gives me a headache and wears horrible shoes. He also seems perplexed by the high beam button on the floor in several videos. Cars had this feature for decades, I wish it would come back. He gets obsessed by features on cars that are new to him but were commonplace to anyone over 40 so when he discovers these for himself he calls them crazy and quirky. Doug really needs to do his research before he reviews. I know it can't be easy to produce these videos, but he needs to get his facts straight instead of making things up on the fly since many of us actually owned some of these old cars and know more than he does

Bobby Gabinadina Yes, I agree. I have a '68 Caddy Convertible with foot mounted dimmer and my '73 Corvette also has the same thing. I think his other problem is comparing classic cars to today's cars which is ridiculous. He was not alive back then and has no idea what was common or standard.

Bobby Gabinadina. He thinks 1973 was like the Flintstones. A 1963 Caddy could have been purchased with more luxury features & power accessories than 1973 Rolls. Power everything had been around for decades by the time 1973 came along.

AMEN! Thank you:-)

Phantom VI, actually, and his point wasn’t that this was literally the car that became the phantom. He’s simply saying that it’s status back in the 70s was equivalent to the status which the phantom holds in the modern day.

Kyle Excet that’s not true. The Phantom VI was the top of the line model.

zjpj83 true

@@zjpj83 Yep, the Silver Shadow was then the Ghost of its time. The Phantoms are limousines, the line below (usually with Silver in the title) were the owner-driven cars: Silver Ghost, Dawn, Cloud, Shadow, Spur, etc.

Go the smiths and Lucas electrics, wasn't Lucas known as Lucas prince of darkness because it rarely worked correctly.

My 1972 Lotus also measured amps and did the blinker dance too. But it was a hot lead, not a relay, so you were sending ridiculous amounts of power to the dash. I almost had a fire because of that but luckily the ground wire melted. Took me 2 days to rewire the entire ground side of the dash. I hope the Rolls used a relay.

Buckfast Stradler someone’s got some sand in their vagina

I remember that my grandfather's car, Renault 12, had only one turn signal indicator, just a green light to reminds you that turn signal is on, it didn't show to what direction is engaged, just that is on. Bloody hazard flashers had theyr own separate red light.

Every car i ever owned to this day does that,guess the 4 million dollar cars he normally drives dont.

World Wayne's World Wayne's World Its party time excellent!

Haha

Doug the type of guy to tell you about the quirks and features of Grey Poupon, and then give it a Doug Score

and yet you love to watch his videos ahahaha

the reference is from the commercials not the movie

Metaroose This is a 1995 RCA tv remote it has 28 buttons.

Well he has over a million views since May 2018 and that's not Whistling Dixie. LOL

He's also the only one who could make it REMOTELY interesting

That's why we watch.

Fuck off u dirty ass

ken k his knowledge on these classic cars is atrocious.

Can confirm, have worked on a SS, understand it far better than I would like.

Penis fart

The button is correctly wired. It should test the coolant lamp AND also show the engine oil level in the fuel gauge!

ken k i came to the comments for this answer. Thank you

Not necessarily every detail... he’s forgotten quite a few important things

@@yammmit well tons more details that anyone else would find or even me.

He said that the Silver Shadow was “one of the first,” not the first.

lightningbolt99999 Yes, but he implies that it’s unusual and exotic, which it’s not.

yessir

Dude cadillac used to be so cool and inovative

Lincoln continental and Chrysler imperial probably did.

The Stig's German Cousin Yup I think so to. James May mentioned it on Top Gear in his Rolls. This was in the india special

you are correct

The Stig's German Cousin you are absolutely correct. It was put there to check that your warning lights and warning buzzer worked

yes like the "check" button in old bmw

yup, like the test buttons on airplanes

®ioT so good

"1988 ding dong got me there 😂"

®ioT hahhaha im crying lol

And then give the date a Doug Score. Is she more a weekend ride or daily ride?

Or he could say "it's not worth it, but it's amazing"

Well, He also thought that Fisher Body was an outside contractor that made the bodies for the Buick Grand National...Doug is LESS hip to vintage cars than my 11 year old niece!

I think he meant the prestige factor

Thank you!! I've been searching the comment section to look for someone having the answer... Which Top Gear? I love that show too!

We have this in most older airplanes too.

Same here. Thanks James may lol

Kyle Stengl when they went to India

lmaooo

Every day, it keeps me awake at night.

franz wetrfres haha I once lived with a guy who said I love you and the night was magical on his first date with a stunner. it was his first and last time he ever saw her 😆

Michael Ainslie no-one cares

Turbotube OK then

Yes. Sedan Deville's of that era offered heated seats, automatic headlamps, and automatic climate control to name a few. But RR's were largely hand-built, used real wood veneer in its interiors, and higher quality materials for the time.

60s n 50s cad had even more

Jerp

Same about the headrests, the second mirror....it takes seconds to figure it out on the net....

Love the car.

The word is "brakes"

Nick Vernice Fastest diagnosis ever

J actually, they're not. And they're not headrests. They were head restraints, and Rolls-Royce was one of the first British car makers to install them to prevent whiplash. If you go to Coventry, and do a tour of the factory, you can ask the tour guide all of these questions, they are very informative.

The front seats were equipped with receiver sockets for the optional head rests or the head restraints this example has since 1973. If none were on the order, the sockets had a blanking plug fitted as standard. The optional head rests available were organic curved wider pillow like offerings using the same fixing as the head restraints, a height adjustable steel sliding bar.

The front seat headrests were mandated by the early 1970s but these headrests look like they were just stuck there to just barely comply with the regulations of the era.

Marco Rodriguez What else do you use to "cut" open a bag of chips? Lol A knife?

@@VeritasEtAequitas so center caps... lol

I was going to mention the Camargue - but that was introduced in 1975, and so is outside the range of the 1973 model year.

I know far more about nuclear power plants than I know about English luxury cars, and EVEN I knew that. For a guy with a car review channel, Doug doesn't seem to know a lot about cars.,LOL.

The Phantom V was, generally speaking, not really available to a public customer. They built 374, two were official State Cars of the Crown of the UK. With another....four... I think being otherwise in service with the UK government, two went to Australia for the Australian Government, at least one to Canada too, and whole slew went to the Middle East to people like the Sha of Iran, and other various Emirs, Sheiks and Kings there. A few more, if I recall correctly were snapped up by high ranking nobles in the UK, as well as some of the European Nobility. If you sort through all the Governments, heads of states, leaders of peoples, and ancient blue blood that bought them I am pretty sure most were made to order, as requested, and only certain people could make such requests. So I would imagine in that sense, it is the Phantom of today, of it's day, specifically 1973. This is a Shadow, not a Shadow II, there was generally speaking no more luxurious Rolls one could buy new in 73 than this. The Wraith II, you speak of, was not released until 1975, I think. Prior to that, there was an EWB version of the Shadow available, from about 1968, but aside from rear aircon, and if optioned, a partition, it was not really that different from the standard WB model. It would not until 75 or later, with the launch of the Shadow II that the EWB version would grow to become the Wraith II. As for the Corniche, indeed, it was a luxurious car, but one can easily argue the model in question, if we speak of 73, is not significantly MORE luxurious a car than the Shadow. More, it is not quite the right comparison. A Corniche would be the early 70s version of the Dawn, or perhaps the Series VII Phantom Drop Head, not a standard Phantom. All in all, what he was saying was this was the most luxurious Rolls-Royce one .... more specifically.. "ANY" ONE... could buy in 1973. Which it WAS. Not just anyone could buy a Phantom VI, then, as they can today, and it would be at least two years before the EWB version of this car, became the Wraith II.

@@Apis4 you are confusing the Phantom V (which was replaced by the Phantom VI by 1973 anyway) with the Phantom IV

@@ThePaulpope No, I am not, it was a typo. They only built 370 odd VI's between 68 and 90. They built even less than Vs, not fewer than the IVs So no phantom of the 30 years previous to this car, was ever a commonly available, walk in drive out, purchase, so my point stands.

aussiebloke609 the button serves two purposes: 1. To read the oil level in the sump (orange markings on the fuel guage), and 2. To test that all the warning lights are working, which they are not on this poorly maintained mess of a car. Doug’s lack of knowledge is overwhelming.

I had a feeling it was something like that. I think James May had one and talked (ad nauseum) about checking the idiot lights. Thanks, mate. :-)

aussiebloke609 You’re most welcome. It was also a switch to test the audible engine overheat buzzer.

I have a 1969 Chevy K10 with a 4 speed manual and that style bright switch and they're pretty easy to work around. But, that's a big old american truck soooooo

Yeah, it's harder to find room between the pedals for your foot in a small car. But then, there seems to be a lot of people that just leave their brights on anyway, so... :-D

Because the Phantom of the time period was a bespoke vehicle that wasn't sold in anywhere near the magnitude of the Phantom of today. It shares only the name, not the market position.

This is the entry level Rolls of its day. It is the equivalent of the Ghost in the current lineup, not the Phantom.

that's probably because it's his name

i mean, you're not wrong by any means

TheCentrifugeChannel somethings are just impossible

A car built in 1973 is modern you mean a contemporary car or a post-modern car with big b pillars that cars in modernity didn't have. Hell even the Daimler Chrysler carriage is modern since it was built in the 1800s.

Probably hate it. Modern Rolls Royce cars aren't made for the traditional customers.

Eric Ortiz I

MY KIND OF PORN THIS. Depreciation.

It's what makes blacks look rich when they are not

Unless you lose money on your car bc of depreciation lol

He wears a t shirt under a t shirt

Miss e high beam on the floor. Made more sense to me down there. I loved those powered vent Windows. Very cool land yachts those Lincolns

Yea, he mentioned the power door locks, power windows, and power seats like they were something unusual for 1973. All those features, and many more had been around for decades prior to 1973.

Not to be rude to Doug, but why would a car reviewer be so fascinated by these 70's cars? So many of these features were just standard on higher end cars, American domestic included. I love the 'quirks' of my '74 Camaro. I've upgraded many items; bluetooth calling, alarm with remote start, satellite radio, etc. But I'll take the design of my 70's gauge cluster over a modern one's any day. Besides that, I can tell that I'm actually in control of the car.

Gabriel A. I know right! Doug has like 0 respect for older cars, and if he did he would have probably seen the cars movie.

Well said.

I agree. If that was my car I would have been mad at how he was jerking the hood ornament and passenger mirror around. Be easy doug! Its old.

Jerry Fieldz Old doesn’t mean it’s gonna break easily.

I agree, I wouldn't do that to a new car either.

Jerry Fieldz Haha, cars aren’t that fragile.
