About the Plymouth Fury
The 1963 Plymouth Fury represented a significant stylistic departure from the 'plucked chicken' look of the 1962 models, adopting a more conventional and handsome square-shouldered design. Built on the B-body platform, it was technically a mid-sized car by the standards of the day, though it offered full-sized presence and comfort. The 318 cubic-inch 'Poly' V8 served as the dependable heart of the range, providing smooth torque and respectable performance for a family cruiser. While the Max Wedge versions dominated the drag strips, the standard Fury V8 remains a highly usable and stylish entry point into 1960s Mopar ownership.

Plymouth Fury fun facts
- The 1963 model year saw a return to quad headlights, replacing the controversial styling of the previous year that had caused a significant sales slump.
- The 318 V8 in this era used a polyspherical head design, earning it the nickname 'Poly' to distinguish it from the later LA-series small blocks.
- 1963 was the final year for Chrysler's famous push-button TorqueFlite automatic transmission controls before they were phased out for conventional levers.
