Car Facts 1957 PLYMOUTH FURY Fun Facts

The Plymouth Fury started out as the brand’s proof of what it could do, an action that boosted sales but would come back to haunt and possibly even kill Plymouth itself. The development story of the Plymouth Fury is a fascinating tale of intrigue, revenge, and betrayal. After the Fury name was taken from a high performance version of the standard Plymouth and applied to the brand’s full-size (C-body entry) in 1956, it became a favorite of many police forces, reportedly adopted by the tough New York Police Department after proving its ability to take abuse in the hands of a cop (driving his own car) chasing a drug dealer. The Fury probably was most popular as a police vehicle in its final years, when it was a B-body - the “downsized” years. How far can you drive a Plymouth? Joseph Vaillancourt's 1963 Plymouth Fury was driven as a cab since the mid 1960s. With 2,609,698 km on the clock, the taxi was struck and totaled by a truck. Vaillancourt was unhurt, and a Quebec actor, Michel Barette (who currently drives a Prowler) will be spending roughly $20,000 to restore the Fury, which has the highest mileage of any car in North America. In one form or the other, the Fury was a staple of the police forces for decades, and it makes regular appearances even now on TV and in movies (albeit sometimes in Diplomat or Monaco form). Introduced in 1956 with a 303 V8, the Fury had sharply peaked tail fins, a Cadillac-like logo, and typical 1950s styling. In 1958, the model year used in the movie Christine, a 350 V-8 (not the GM version) was made available on the Fury, for the first and only year.
