Gotta love those old camcorders .They seemed to never work exactly right .
But loved the video on that old vintage iron getting bent up. My brother
and I used a 57 Cadillac limousine in those days at the derbys. It was a
beast and before anyone says anything it was being used as dog kennel when
it was found .So it was a desserted hull that was trashed beyond good use
and restoration .But it made a damn fine demolition derby car.

Demolition Derby Chrysler Imperial Car 75 Sioux Valley, Manitoba
Crazy heat i had a great time im car 75,i love using imperials but to find a derby that allows them is hard. Running my good old 440 in it!
Back in the late 80's, early 90's when we had a stock car dirt track a bit
further north in Thompson, l would run the annual demo derby . lt was way
more fun than racing stock car . l started out running Fords, which would
fold up into a pile of scrap metal, but still keep running . l then
switched to Chrysler products, preferably '73-'78 full size wagons, which
were a little more tempermental but wouldn't fold up so easy . lt's the
unibody back ends that give the Chrysler products....cont
cont....l also preferred the Chrysler transmissions that would shift gears
even if you were a little heavy on the foot due to the excitement, as
opposed to the Fords, where you had to calm down, let it go to idle, before
you could shift from forward to reverse, or vise versa . --- Great job,
glad you are having fun . PS My 12 yr. old son keeps bugging me to build
another demo car, as all he has is my old videos and photos . But that
would take some far trailering and a better neck .
I like demos and all but we always used ugly land yachts like old town and
country wagons,and mid to late 70's anything.But it makes you sick to see a
60's era classic get smashed for no reason.I was selling a '68 coronet 440
while back and they guys that just handed me thousand bucks are like "hell
yeah this will be a great derby car!" I gave them their money back and told
'em to get lost.LOLJust couldn't stand the thought of that car being turned
into rolling scrap metal.
Monaghan first of all it sounds like you are puting down americans. We need
to get a life lmao,well what about you kicking around a god dam soccer ball
it looks like you need to get a life! no no its peaple like you that
disgust me sitting at you computer calling peaple assholes and trash,what
are you a 12 year old cause it sure sounds like it. It's sure easy to call
someone down when your half a world away. Anyway keep kicking that soccer
ball and don't worry about us.
To demol & 75moparman: First of all, learn how to spell, I can barely
understand either of you. It's a shame how a perfectly mint car gets ruined
by demo assholes. You people have no respect for cars, and as people your
nothing but trash. Probably living in Georgia and think your tough shit
because you can crash a classic, big American car. You people need to get a
life and wreck cars PEOPLE DO NOT CARE ABOUT. (Imports, 80s cars). you
people disgust me.
cont....their strength, as opposed to the full frames Ford and Chevy used
where there are only 4 body mount bolts holding the trunk area to the frame
and would rip apart not reinforcing each other . The '73-'78's had the
heavy guard beams in the doors and the heavy bumpers with reinforcing bars
. Except, the massive bumper units were only held on by 2 flimsy shocks
that could easily pull apart in a side swipe, losing your bumper (use
chains).....cont
One day Chrysler will bring back the 70's style Imperial Le Baron. By
popular demand. So instead of complaining, start signing petitions and who
knows. P.S. I agree with ya'll nothing beats having the originals and my
father bought one from a dealership in1972, a 72' Imperial Le Baron and a
few years later a 73' Chrysler 300, both 4 Dr fully loaded everything, all
the options. Imperial:440Cid/big block, 4BBL carb/500-650 cfm,
Chry.400trans....Cont.
Nothings gonna change the fact that it is completely moronic to wreck a
healthy 47k miles Imperial.. for three hours of kiddy-fun.. ! One day, when
they are all gone, I hope "car-god" will come down, just to FUCK you up for
what you did to this car! The way I see it, running derby's with rare Mopar
classics like this Imp, is equal to poking dying whales in the eyes..!
Shame on you all Derby-boys So many other smash-able cars to choose from !
How bad does rust actually hurt the durability of the cars? I'm running my
first derby and I have a 73 LeSabre..there's rust holes in the floor board
but I'm gonna patch that up..There's rust on the bumpers but the metal is
still solid..there's practically rust just about everywhere but it doesn't
seem to be anything more than surface rust? I'm hoping it'll run good
@Monaghan if you dont like demo derbies dont watch if your curious run one
and i garuntee you will run more or go home crying its our money who care
how we spend it most of these cars would take too much work to put on the
road anyway so quit FUCKING wreckin everybodys day and quit BITCHING!!!
dont like it dont watch its easy
all this bitchin about using classics for derbys. im sure these guys found
these cars like anybody else could. with a for sale sign in the window. i
ran a 65 plymouth sport fury a couple years ago. any every body cried about
it. it was forsale in some guys yard for months. i was the first person to
stop and ask about it.
I like how everyone gets up set ... Well guess what I order my imps from
down south I pay good money for them and ..... The cleaner the car the
better to Derby and Easyer to weld on .... So if your out to save the cars
from the Derby go spend your money on them before we as Derby drives get a
hold of them .
@Monaghan 1st of all go fuck yourself. Secondly the cars that demo derby
drivers 'ruin' are cars that allready have one leg in the grave. If you
want to spend $1000 for an Imperial body then another 30k to fix it up go
right ahead but I think most derby drivers would rather spend less and have
more fun
@Monaghan u need a life stop watchin vids that u kno will piss u off if u
gonna bitch go do it 2 sum1 who cares, an jus a piece of advice: next time
u feel the need 2 put sum1 down cuz they r havin fun do us all a favor an
take a long walk off a short pier
you not happy because the car youy want for 200 $ is not your(when is for
sale for 500$) is your problem not mine next time you see one on road side
for 500 buck rust free run buy it dont try to have it for less because
derby guy buy at this price thank
Thanx demo888 this car was really mint when i bought it too. 47000 clicks
on it. Picked it up for $150 running driving sold the motor for $300 and
ran my good old 440 in it. I took to two other derbys after this one...
Its called recycling flightmaster,these cars sit and rust,i smash them up
and take them to a scrap iron place for recycling,your a idiot lmfao. I
will keep finding them and smashing them up just for you!! HAHAHA
Putting down Americans? I was born and live in New York, enough said. Lol @
the kicking around the soccer ball. I don't play soccer, I play Gaelic
Football it is tougher than rugby now quit wrecking good cars.
Cont....The Chrysler 300: 340Cid/small block, 4BBL Carb/550 cfm also
Chry.400 transmission. These two were the Flagships of our family and would
cause much jealousy alongside relatives and friends a like.
The Imperials and Chrysler will never go down without a good fight also,
75Moparman just proved that The Imperials will not go down so easily
without a good brawling.
So why did you even click on the video if you are so against demo's? What
you have no life so you feel the need to slam on other people's video's.
Get a life!!
You are F*CKING RETARTED!! YEA LETS WRECK UP ALL THESE OLD CLASSICS AND
COLLECTORS ITEMS SO THAT NONE WILL BE LEFT TO ENJOY BY PPL LIKE ME. YOU
F*CKING IDIOT.

Great museum.I went there in the late 80s.They had the Cord that Tom Mix
actually crashed and died in,completely rebuilt.They had a '53 Corvette

belonged to Steve McQueen.

@IMPERIALCARCREW This shit is too funny. I wouldn't believe this guy was
serious if I didn't see the video
1975 Imperial Lebaron & Chrysler New Yorker Brougham & Chrysler Cordoba Commercial Richard Basehart
Voice over by Richard Basehart. People are mistaken when they refer to an Imperial as a Chrysler Imperial. Imperials were a separate marque of Chrysler ...
@wvuguy my similiar fuzzy recollection is that Chrysler used this music
("Chrysler, Your Next Car" in 1960 & 1970 and then went to a new theme in
1971 & 72 ("Chrysler Coming Thru") only to go back to the old ("Chrysler,
Your Next Car") theme again in 74 & 75. Imperials 3rd best year ever was
1969 so maybe they thought the advertisement worked and used Basehart in it
again. I have to say, as a Kid, in this time frame, I really thought the
Chryslers and Imperials were the best luxury cars
@wvuguy One reason why I think Imperials weren't popular was that they
didn't have soft rides. They were real road cars as were the Big Dodges and
Plymouths used as police cars. Tom MacCahill of Popular Mechanics always
owned Imperials as they had the best road car ride. They were Quiet and
plush but handled extremely well they didn't float, they were more European
in ride. There's a video here on youtube of a Ferrari chasing an Imperial.
You should check it out.
in the 70's, Ricardo Montalban did the Cordoba Commercials, his role did
expand at the end of the decade as well as into the 80's and 90's but
Chrysler Corp. used many Celebrities to Hawk their cars, Hal Lindon for the
Newport, Jack Jones for the New Yorker, Sergio Frankie for the Volare,
James Darren for the Fury, Frank Converse for the LeBaron, Jennifer O'Neill
for the Dodge Charger...the list goes on. This is Richard Basehart
narrating this commercial.
Really one reason....lack of sales and an inability to spend the funds to
make it substantially different than a Chrysler. Imperials of the late 50's
and 60's competed head to head with Cadillac and Lincoln and were vastly
different than other Chrysler Products. By the 70's, those lines really
blurred. People didn't want to spend a lot of money on a car tha wasn't
much different than a Standard Chrysler or Upscaled Dodge.
Presumably, "Chrysler Corporation" rather than the Brand Chrysler. Dealers
Signage was still Chrysler Plymouth Imperial as were Window Stickers and
Marketing Material like Brochures. As well those Imperials still had VIN
numbers completely different than a Chrysler, as different from a Chrysler
Vin Number as a Plymouth or Dodge.
The Imperial was moved back into the Chrysler assembly plant for the 1969
model year with its new fuselage look. Actually when the Imperial was
switched to a unibody frame in 1967, it shared the New Yorker's platform.
Sadly Imperial's sales were too low to justify the costs of a separate
assembly plant.
@OsbornTramain I worked as a Valet at a country club back in the mid-70's,
and the rich guys drove Cads and Lincolns almost exclusively; you almost
never saw an Imperial in the parking lot, which made them a comparative
novelty. No question, they were every bit as quiet and luxurious as the
others.
@wvuguy You, know, it was driving me crazy, I knew I recognized the voice
but just couldn't put my finger on it......You are definitely right, now
that you say his name, I realize it is his voice. He's one of my favorite
actors too! How could I not have heard it lol
My fuzzy recollection is that Basehart did a fair amount of commercial
narration for Chrysler back in those days......not just this spot.....and,
right off the top of my head, was probably as recognizable as anyone they
used beyond, say, Ricardo Montalban.
Great footage of the 1925 Chrysler Six in the opening. By the way, a new
version of that emblem you see at the start would be used for nearly a
decade before the current blue and silver wings emblem you see on Chrysler
vehicles today.
Thanks for this information. I've always wondered what the actual name of
the song was. A great fact. I'm going to post it into the information on
all of the Chrysler Ads I have up with this music.
The late Richard Basehart starred along with David Hedison in the
Mid/Late-1960s ABC-TV Network-aired prime-time drama series "Voyage To The
Bottom Of The Sea" and his first name was John.
Not to mention Old Blue Eyes himself, Frank Sinatra. But by then ("the
Diamond Jubilee" with Lee Iacoca at the wheel) Chrysler was barely a shadow
of its former self.
The Imperial brand would disappear but in 1977 the Imperial eagle hood
ornament would brought back for the Chrysler LeBaron, based on the
Aspen/Volare platform.
@Shoteen95 Yep shows how stupid americans are we gave up luxury to ride
around in trucks that arent as comfortable or drive able and nowhere near
as good looking.
