Plymouth Fury - Unleashing the Power: A Classic American Muscle Car
It was introduced for the 1956 model year as a sub-series of the Plymouth Belvedere, becoming a separate series one level above the contemporary Belvedere for 1959. The word "fury" denotes a type of anger, inspired by the Furies, mythological creatures in Ancient Greek and Ancient Roman mythology.
This is the history of the Plymouth FURY
Plymouth replaced the Belvedere with the Sport Fury and Fury in 1959. Fury now offered a 2-door hardtop, 4-door sedan, and station wagon. Sport Fury featured only 2-door hardtops and convertibles. Reintroduced in mid-1962, the Sport Fury was discontinued in 1959.
A 2 or 4-barrel carburetor Golden Commando with 361 cu in (5.92 L) superseded the 350 in 1959. The dual four-barrel 318 was dropped that year, but the four-barrel was available on this engine until 1962.
1960 1961
1960 introduced unibody construction, Chrysler's ram induction technique, and the Slant-Six engine. Original 318, 383, and 361 were available. The 225 cu in (3.69 L) slant-6 produced 145 horsepower. 383s had 330 horsepower.
1974
During the 1974 model year, the newly redesigned full-size C-body 1974 Plymouth Fury was offered as the last full-size car in production after nine previous model years of production as a full-size car (since from model years 1965-1968 and from model years 1969-1973).
1975 - 1978
During the start of the 1975 model year, Chrysler moved the Fury name, which had been part of the full-size C-body Plymouth model line up during the previous ten model years over to the restyled mid-size B-body 1975 Plymouth Fury line up, which had been marketed as the Satellite during the previous nine model years. The "Road Runner" was offered as the top-of-the-line model of the redesigned Plymouth Fury 2-door line up, then it was moved over to the Plymouth Volare line up during the following model year (1976).
The 1976 model year mid-size B-body 1976 Plymouth Fury saw very few appearance changes from the previous year other than the availability of a dual opera window roof on Sport Fury two-door models. Engine/transmission offerings were also unchanged except that the 360 two-barrel V8 was now the standard engine on station wagons along with the TorqueFlite automatic transmission, both items of which were optional on other models.
The 1977 model year mid-size B-body 1977 Plymouth Fury received a new front end with a chrome vertical bar grille and outline along with stacked rectangular headlights. Model and drivetrain offerings were unchanged from 1976 except that the Slant Six now had two-barrel carburetion replacing the one-barrel pot of previous years and was now standard on the Sport Fury two-door models.
The 1978 model year was technically a mid-size B-body car, but the 1978 Plymouth Fury was Plymouth's largest car with the discontinuation of the full-size C-body Plymouth Gran Fury after 1977. TorqueFlite automatic transmission and power steering were now standard on all Fury models and the same selection of V8 engines was still available. Few appearance changes were made from the previous model year. The 1978 was the last model year for the Plymouth Fury

Very cool. First car i thought of was Christine. Second was a '70 two door a friend had in the late '70s. 383 Magnum. He called it The Furious. A fitting name :)
Chrysler had some great looking cars. Especially the 1960 front end styling that a lot of people call ugly. I think they're great. But truthfully, all American cars from the 60's to early 80's are great looking. 1963-1973 is probably the best decade for American car design.
I had the privilege to ride in an all original 1958 gold/beige Fury back in 1978. The chrome on the dash and the push button transmission were a sight that is in memory over 40 years later.
Thanks for the history of the Fury. My parents owned a 68, 71 and 73 model when I was growing up. Loved that ‘73 Fury…best car they ever had.
My grandfather had a 58 and a 67 Sport Fury. I never saw the 58 but I rode in the 67. It was a kick ass car.
I learned to drive on my Mom's 67 Fury III, as well as taking my drivers license test in it. Really liked that car. In 1972, she traded it in for a 1973 Fury III - really nice car. I liked that car too. Love your channel.

Interesting, thanks for sharing the history of the Plymouth Fury!! 👍👍🙂
Ward Cleaver's car! The Brady Bunch car! TJ Hooker's cruiser! This car ran into the 1980's. The police and detectives used them. Thank you for another video and effort put into the video as well.
My first car was a 65 Fury III. All black 2 door hard too. I kept it and my son restored it in 1999. It has been in storage and we plan on restoring it again soon. It’s a beautiful car and a prized possession for both of us.
Nice presentation, Boca Brothers. I do wish you had made mention of the 1966-1969 Fury VIP that was Plymouth's reply to the Ford LTD and Chevy Caprice.
I just watched My Old Car's Plymouth Prowler video, now I'm watching this one. Plymouth was a great brand, it's a shame Daimler-Chrysler dumped it.
I had no idea fury lasted for more than 2 decades. Learned something today.
I had that same exact 1959 Belvedere in hi skool 1982 a year before the movie Christine came out & nobody would ride with me after that! I got it from the original owner that worked with my dad! I was 17 & looking for another car as I had just sold my '76 Chevy Scottsdale pickup & got the Plymouth for only $300! She needed a lil work & some TLC but I had her looking showroom new by that summer! Its one of the many cars I wished I had kept! I also had a 1972 Plymouth Fury III 360 4bbl 2dr & a 1972 Plymouth Fury II Grand Coupe 318 2bbl 2dr ✌💖☮
They sure were beauties! My mother got her driver's license much later in life, she took the test in a brand-new 1958 2door Fury for the road test, and she then proceeded to rap it around a telephone pole with the instructor in the seat next to her, they both survived with some broken bones, she did have to come back for a second test!! (true story) 😎
Gotta love the Plymouth Fury
The 57-58 FURY should have been included

Although I understand what you mean, but I think this was the Fury line only. The 57 and 58 and 59 was a Trim line of the Belvedere. For example, in the movie Christine they used a mix of 57 and 58 but they were all Plymouth Belvedere's with the Fury Trim which added the anodized Gold touches. Because of those sale Plymouth decided in 1960 to make a stand alone Fury line. So, I think that's what this was about the actual car line models known as the Fury. Believe me back then we knew they were Belvedere's Fury Trim. Maybe they should have mentioned them like an honorable mention or explained that as I have ran into that from others who didn't understand that. And yes it was confusing back then too. Sorry I'm late, bad weather. Hope this finds you well.
Well this was cute, thumbs up. I like how auto makers used to make a new car every year unlike today they just really wait 5 or 8 years before making a new design....saves money.
Thank you Boca Brothers for this video, the vintage clips and the inspirational memories it inspires! Having been raised in a rabid Mopar family, the Fury is front and center in my DNA, as an all time favorite car. My first memory as a four year old was riding shotgun in my Dad's authoritative, two-tone white on Jet Black 1960 sedan, with its grimacing grille and evil eyes. My oldest brother owned three through his college years; a sweet '61 Glacier White hardtop coupe with a vivid red interior, a blasé two-tone white on Medium Tan '64 b-pillar, 4-door sedan with a fascinating push button transmission and his third - a Dark Green metallic '67 Fury III 4-door hardtop eagerly transporting me from high school into college, upon proudly receiving it as a hand-me-down. All of these were completely eclipsed by purchasing the first one myself in 1979; an Ice Blue '69 Fury III convertible, with a rotted out trunk exposed upon breaking the rear glass window without unzipping it first, the very same afternoon as purchasing it! Regardless, after biting the bullet of ignorance and repair, I'll always cherish it delivering me fiendishly well down the freeways and curvy country roads while moving to South Carolina. The next one in 1980 was a true winner; a Sherwood Green iridescent, 1971 4-door sedan. After snagging a great deal at a shady car lot in September at the beginning of the fall semester, cheerfully driving it until the end of the spring semester then buffing it up, it was thrilling selling it at a profit the following May! The personal history, anecdotes and joyrides associated with each of these cars could fill a less-than riveting book. Thus, these things best remain forever emblazoned in my psyche alone, affectionately embedded in my heart and soul.
The 1958 version is even better👍
It's good to see this beautiful Land Yatch from Chrysler's former cheap budget brand Plymouth.
Whether you called it "FURY", OR CHRISTINE" It was a HUGE HIT !
Great video enjoyed!
Fantastic as always, Brothers!!!❤️✌️❤️🌮
Notice on the 57 and 58 Fury how the roof overhangs the windshield by a couple of inches at the top. This lip hampered all the Chrysler products on the high bank NASCAR tracks, more drag to overcome.
Christine has been unleashed. Thank you Steven King for making us afraid of big old American hoopties.
Call me weird but i like the look of the 75 Fury in sport model. Also the 70-71 GT versions were cool. Great video. Thanks.
I always loved the sixties style Fury... Would you ever do a video on the satellite... We had a 69 mod top I loved that car .. I cried the day my dad sold her
I own the 70 Plymouth FURY 3 83 4 barrel
Don't forget the Canadian version of the Plymouth Fury (which is the 59 Plodge Viscount).
My dad bought a 57 new and in One year Everything went out on it. Engine, transmission, rear end, paint, upholstery, the hub caps kept falling off. The window cranks, EVERYTHING FELL APART. When he was driving it to trade it in on an Austin Heley the center horn cap came off so he stopped and bought some glue. He swore he’d Never Ever buy a Chrysler product again. He’s now 85 years old and has never had one since
🛑🛑 The “Hide Away” Headlights on the Fury, we’re really cool back in the day. 😀👍💯
CHRISTINE ❤❤❤ LOVE IT...
I'd like to have my 66 Fury 1 back. But I'd also like to find a 70 sport Fury gt
Forgot the 80s Furys
Have a 78 powder blue N.C. state interceptor. 440 police package 727 trans with posi traction and dual exhaust. Needs to be restored. Anyone interested?

A minor correction, if I may: Plymouth did stop making the Fury/Gran Fury after the 1978 model year and there was none in '79, but brought it back as an R-Body in '80 and '81 and then it was an M-Body from '82 to '89.
Headlight washers!?
In the original book, Christine that Stephen King wrote, she was a four-door.
The 56 to 58 Furys were the true Furys. In 59 they were just a up scale belvedere
Keep it up Boca Brothers! Love y'all's content!
I liked the FINS a LOT which is similar to a 57 chevy ****
And her name is Christine
I would like to buy a 1966 sport fury 111(3)
Now we know what the word, fury, means 🤔
I really enjoyed this presentation. My question is where did you find old Chrysler products without rust? Thank you,
Dodge Phoenix In Australia !
The red car looks like Christine
Always thought Fury was an odd name for a car.
christine
Unfortunately missed a lot of basic information
Christine
Related to Christine or not. Doesn't matter still a beautiful car
Plymouth messed up the fury design as years went by...
The car deserved a better design. Good engineering but poor design quality. That and Chrysler should have given more attention to new powertrains. They had the engineers to do it. Poor leadership
So many mistakes and errors that I lost count.
Mind your fingers with the hood......
