I literally just came inside from putting the engine back in my late father’s E46 M3 and watched this video over lunch. Lost my Dad to a brain tumour a couple of years ago, and his car passed to me. It had spun a rod bearing, so I took it upon myself to learn how to pull the engine, have it rebuilt and put it back in. It’s now back on the road and I totally identify with the memories and feelings in this video. I miss Dad, but am stoked to be able to keep his car going.

We even kicked around the idea of me detailing some of these cars, unfortunately I never did but loved just being around these cars.

The Town and Country was actually a 5-speed, as can been seen in the shot of the shift knob, but what was really unusual about it was the ratio jump from fourth to fifth. The weak 2.2 liter could climb effectively through the first four gears, but fifth was extremely tall. I had a Plymouth Voyager I bought non-running for $300 just because of the 5-speed. Once I got it going I learned not to try fifth until I had wound it out in fourth. The slightest grade would require me to get out of fifth, and coast down a bit before pulling the clutch in fourth. It also rode as soft as any Peugeot, of which I owned several before the Voyager. Between the gutless four-banger and the soft roley-poley ride, it had a real french personality.

Thank you for this. This is a beautiful video. When I was a sophomore in high school back in the early 80s, I spent all my free time at the library, either reading car books or reading car magazines. I was all excited about the new Corvette, after it had spent a couple of years out of production. I had only seen a picture of it in the magazine. But then my best friend told me he saw it drive by his house. I couldn’t believe it because I was dying to see it in person, so I went to his house the following week, and every day after school, we waited for the Corvette to come by, finally on like the fifth day or so, the Corvette pulled up to the stop sign and stopped. We came out, so excited yelling at the guy to stop and he stopped, and he was so happy to show us the car. I’ll never forget that moment how special it was. and in a way that’s what kind of ruins everything now, the fact that you can get instant gratification by seeing a picture of the newest Corvette on your phone whenever, takes away the simple joy of seeing the new Corvette in person, and how you had to wait for it with patience. I know this is out of context with the video, though I just wanted to share the story.

My father was intrigued by minivans and purchased a 1984 Plymouth Voyager, the first one sold by our local Chrysler dealer. It was a 5-speed manual with the 2.2 liter four cylinder. Ours was a bare bones model, no third row seat, no window tint, no power windows or locks or anything. I did most of my early driving in that and a 1978 Honda Civic (a vastly more well engineered and better driving car). The shifter in the Voyager had THE WORST action and feel. On our first road trip from central Missouri to Knoxville Tennessee, the transmission basically blew up and we had to drive the last 80 miles to Knoxville in 2nd gear listening to the most horrendous noise and wondering if we would even make it! It was my father's first American car and he only ever had one other, a Taurus SHO.

Wow. No other words, just wow. I can't express my gratitude enough. I'm not educated on who's collection this is, but thank you so much for saving these beautiful pieces for our future generations, including myself. I feel like I'm 10 years old again, first discovering the beauty in cars.

Thanks for making this viewing possible! Its always so great to see very special, one-of-a-kind vehivles. The most amazing one i saw was the long, red motorcycle-car with all those copper water cooling tubes. The fact that its so old and the only one in existence, makes it so special.

The woody minivan is a classic and literally started so many things. 👍

This was one of my favorite videos yet, I especially enjoyed seeing the dodge minivan with the wood panels! My twin brother and I were born in 88 and my mom bought an ‘84 just like that and we had it until we started driving! I miss that van more than any vehicle I’ve owned, it got bad flood damage when I parked near a river at a party and a flash flood swept it through a few fences 😢

Amazing journey! Thanks for sharing. My family had a 1989 Plymouth Voyage with a manual 5 speed transmission that I drove through high school. Made the under powered 4 cylinder more tolerable. The 84 woody is even more special.

Great history that I didn’t know existed not far from me. I met Mr. Murray and used to work at a radio shack next door to his daughters pet store. My grandmother used to work at the Dearborn Inn.
