slatgrille Posted June 1, 2022 Report Share Posted June 1, 2022 Where is this junkyard in Mass. again? I could use those 'Special De Luxe' badges on the cowl! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
plymouthcranbrook Posted June 1, 2022 Report Share Posted June 1, 2022 I just watched that episode. Generally well done with a few small errors. Considering how many of these he does they are well worth watching despite the occasional blip. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JerseyHarold Posted June 2, 2022 Report Share Posted June 2, 2022 Steve did an episode from that same Connecticut junkyard featuring a '52 Plymouth and there were quite a few errors. Caused a number of chuckles in this forum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Hiebert Posted June 3, 2022 Report Share Posted June 3, 2022 First time I've ever heard of "potato era" styling...? Unfortunately, now I won't be able to un-hear that. I rather enjoy his videos despite the blips. Who else would do an informational piece on a potato? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He called the chrome doohickey on the rear quarter on a '53 Ford a "flying toaster" as if that's what everyone calls it. Maybe they do, I don't know. Whatever...I'll watch any video that pans slowly over 40s and 50s cars in a junkyard. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

keithb7 Posted June 4, 2022 Report Share Posted June 4, 2022 I'm not sure I see potato styling there. Maybe a rare type of black potato enjoyed in the mountains of Peru? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RNR1957NYer Posted June 4, 2022 Report Share Posted June 4, 2022 Just searched - 117 posts (now 118) containing the word “potato” - this is the only thread referencing a P15 (or any other car) as a “potato” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plymouthy Adams Posted June 4, 2022 Report Share Posted June 4, 2022 I see nothing that make me think potato looking at any car unless it was a burnt Citroen, Renault or Peugeot where French Fried would be appropriate. I had at one time a cartoon of the Pilgrims first land and proclaiming the site Plymouth Rock and on the beach behind them was this huge rock shaped like a 1952 Plymouth.... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree and in some cases there may be a similarity in comparing, but in this case if Plymouth is a potato, that in my opinion would make all the others dumplings. As we all know a dumpling is just a blob with no distinction at all.
