The Fury was a subseries of the Plymouth Belvedere from 1956 to 1958. It was sold only as a sandstone white two-door hardtop with gold anodized aluminum molding in 1956 and 1957. In 1958, it was available only in buckskin beige with gold anodized aluminum molding. These Furies had special interiors, bumper guards, and V8 engines with dual four-barrel carburetors. The 318 cu in (5,2 L) engine from 1957 and 1958 produced 290 hp (216 kW), the same engine used in the Dodge Coronet.
The 1957 models were redesigned; longer, wider, with very large vertical rear fins and a new torsion-bar front suspension replacing the previous coil springs. While the new styling boosted sales, quality control suffered across all Chrysler products, as they were rushed to market before the design and construction flaws could be fully addressed by the engineering department. The front suspension introduced Chrysler's Torsion-Aire torsion-bar suspension, which was shared across all Chrysler products from 1957 onward.
In 1958, the optional engine was a 350 cu in (5,7 L) "big block" called the "Golden Commando" with two four-barrel carburetors producing 305 hp (227 kW). A 315 hp (235 kW) fuel-injected option was available, but the Bendix electronic fuel injection system was recalled by the factory, and owners received a conventional dual four-barrel setup. The Golden Commando engine was optional on every Plymouth Plaza, Savoy, Belvedere, Suburban, and Fury, as was the dual 318 cu in (5,2 L) four-barrel setup.
This Dutch-supplied Plymouth Fury is an unrestored car that is still in fantastic condition.
The car was found by its owner in the late 80s, but only needed to be made roadworthy because it was still in perfect condition. The many details immediately caught the eye, such as the wing mirrors, the freestanding gauges on the dashboard, and the hood handle integrated into the chrome trim. The gearshift knobs for the Torque-Flite automatic transmission are also distinctive. Furthermore, there's a flood of striking color combinations. The hood is, of course, electrically operated, and not to forget the Square Wheel, the transparent oval steering wheel that was an option at the time and cost around $1.000.
The car's beautiful front end features dual headlights with slanted eyebrows, encased in anodized aluminum. At the rear, the iconic Microphone Taillights stand out. The list of unique features goes on and on. The Philips record player, along with a tray of Elvis records, is also quite special. Only 6.948 Furys were produced, and this one, supplied by the Dutch firm Zoet, was one of the few shipped directly to the Netherlands.
It still includes all sorts of paperwork from the early years, such as brochures, warranty papers, and an article from the car magazine Carros. The Plymouth was originally delivered to the director of HaPee, a company in Zeist, the Netherlands. All the booklets are also still with the car. This Furi now belongs to its second owner and has only driven 95 kilometers.
It's a unique car that only comes up for sale once. A style icon for the new owner! The Plymouth Fury Convertible!
