Everything from the economy, luxury, and power-hungry muscle cars flooded the market as the American car industry boomed. It didn’t matter who you were, what your bank account looked like, or what aesthetic you were into, there was something for everyone! In this video, we’re going to be taking a little trip down memory lane while looking at some of the elegant, innovative, and sporty cars from the decade that wasn’t afraid to buck tradition and experiment with bold, new ideas.

My first car was a 1972 Chevy Bel Air but like my siblings l was taken out to practice driving by my dad in our 1967 Buick Sport Wagon! In later years I would have loved to own a Beetle but was too tall to fit in the older ones!

No I never owned one especially now that I’m a stroke and cardiac arrest and colon cancer survivor and use a electrical wheelchair when I’m outside of my apartment building here in Hamilton Ontario Canada
Alpine is pronounced Al-peen
I left a video soon as I read through the chapters and didn’t see a 64 impala

🤫 Forget these old mostly unreliable so-called American classic vehicles. And buy yourself any model Toyota!. This way you will not brake down on the side of the road!…..
Did I own one? No I’m only 21 and is very broke
My mom had a powder blue ’65 convertible Mustang and I’ve owned many in my life time. 😊 We also had a Bug but in 2000-2012 years. Mom also had one of those same color as her Mustang, in the late 60’s.
All my Mustangs had to be convertible and arrest me red. 😀
My daddy had a classic t-bird convertible in pale yellow with a black convertible top. Thank you for allowing me to recall so many wonderful memories. 😊❤️
I’ve owned a 66 Chevelle SS, two 67 Chevy II Nova’s, a 69 Firebird, plus a few from the 70’s and the 80’s.
Couldn’t drive back then I wasn’t born till 1970, so I build the scale versions of these beauts.
-With my brand new Stang with the 289 their was no way i would let a gas station mechanic put his greasy dirty hands under the hood of my car, These gas station guys only know how to pump gas(& they can’t even do that without spilling gas on the side of your new car). The only one under my hood is my best friend or myself. I don’t even want them to (so called) even clean my windows.-They didn’t like me one bit But i did not like there dirty azz either.-They were just ticked off b/c they had no chance of messing something up under my hood.
are you guys kidding???Not ONE Corvette? The 63-67 Corvette is it!

My grandpa had about every car in the 60s and 70s
I’m a Camaro Junkie
My first car was 1966 Mustang.
Datsun and Nissan is the same company.
1968 Plymouth Roadrunner
My first car i ever owned was a mustang it was a great vehicle
Hello my favorite car on this video was the Volkswagen bug
60s vw beetle was used as taxis in Mexico City back in the day
I had GT O. 1967 and VW bettle
I have never owned any of the cars mentioned in this video. My parents had a 1964 Volkswagen Beetle that they bought in Germany. You mentioned that the Buick Riviera was made from 1963-1965. That car was made until the 1980’s. Of the cars mentioned in this video, my favorite car would have been the ’68 Thunderbird.
I used to own a Mini they’re a great little car really good handler.
You had to be a mechanic like my grandpa use to be to drive those cars
Where is The Chevrolet Impala? Most of my family bought them in the 1960s through to 2020! It was the most popular domestic car in Canada and The United States!
No we didn’t own one bc most people on here are around 15😂
My first car was a brand new 1970 Dodge Charger. Fire engine red, with black, vinyl top and black, bucket seats. Was $3100 ♥️
A VW beetle,
Dodge Charger. Are both favorites…I had a Rolls Canhardly…
rolls down one hill can barely make it up the other.
Hello, you forgot the Cobra Jet Torino
😢Sadly the 1950s-1960s were their boom, then came the crash of the 1970s-1980s when Americans realized they were sold JUNK. GM has gone the way of Sears
Lot of the cars in this video, you didn’t even see in my middle class neighborhood, I could name a lot more popular cars then
My first car was a `68 Beetle, also had a couple of Mini`s (`74 saloon and `94 Mini Sprite).
Loved the Fatsun 280 z… had my for my birthday in 1978..last year of the chrome bumper
Had a 66 mustang since new. 289 2bbl 3 speed std. Sold it in 2000. Fun to drive, but….. quality issues! Within the first 5 years, trunk latch broke internally, the brake/clutch pedal pivot bearing cracked, the driver door key cylinder pot metal housing cracked and fell apart, the ignition switch fell apart, the upholstery split, the padded dash split, the radiator leaked, the brake master leaked, and a trans bearing failed. After 10 yrs, the front fender rusts thru the top surface near the headlights, because they did not bother with a plastic inner fender. The salty winter slush was thrown directly at the top. Only drove about 5000 per year. Sold it because of safety. No shoulder belts. Single brake hydraulics. 4 wheel drums. Halfway down a 2 mile hill they got too hot to function. Shame on Ford. If you bought the 4bbl carb for more power, they gave you their front disc brakes. What has horsepower got to do with deserving safe braking at normal speeds? By the way, the handling improved hugely when the factory backslope was corrected to level with a rear leaf spring booster/stiffener.
What, no Corvette?
I was born on July 15 ’72 50 years ago but loved the cars from that time period
What happened to the Chevy Impala. First introduced in 1958. I was a Junior in H.S., and really wanted one. It would be five years before I
finally got one. A 1963 Impala Super Sport with 283 cu. inch engine. What a beautiful car.
