About the Plymouth Fury
The 1958 Plymouth Fury represents the final year of the model's existence as a exclusive, high-performance sub-series of the Belvedere. Styled under Virgil Exner's 'Forward Look' design language, it is distinguished by its quad headlights, towering tailfins, and signature Buckskin Beige paint with gold-anodized aluminum trim. The 318-cubic inch 'V-800' engine features dual four-barrel carburetors, providing performance that rivalled contemporary sports cars. While it gained immortality as the titular possessed car in Stephen King's 'Christine', collectors value it for its rare combination of mid-century elegance and Mopar muscle.
