Talk:Plymouth Fury

Comments

I'm surprised that no mention is made of the performance aspect of early (1956 - 1958) Furys. Indeed, they were "halo" models (a new term, never used in "the day"), but had increased horsepower, dual exhausts and stiffer suspension than standard Plymouths. In addition, these Plymouth Furys were specially styled, available only in white (cream) with a gold anodized side sweep. Along with the Dodge D500 and Desoto Adventurer (and of course the 1955 Chrysler C-300), these were the original "Muscle Cars". Furyman 22:21, 9 February 2007 (UTC)

In addition the Late B, two-door Fury Sport is not discussed. It would be a close sibling of the 1975 Roadrunner. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.150.69.29 (talk) 14:33, 12 August 2008 (UTC)

  No Fury from the 60s or 70s, was ever offered with the 426 Hemi, as a regular production option to the general public,as the article states it was. No C body at all from that era was, only A, B,and E bodies from 64 to 71 were. The 426 street wedge wasnt rated at 385 hp, and also wasnt offered in the Fury, in some of the years they say it was. Not trying to be critical, someone just needs to research these facts from a more reliable source, like Richard Ehrenberg, of Mopar Action or other reputable Mopar sources. Thanks, Kevin.  Also I think they mention a Hemi B engine ? The 426 Hemi was built on the RB block ,not a B block like a 383. A 440 RB distributor will fit a 426 Hemi, one from a 383 wont.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 104.58.233.174 (talk) 02:37, 7 April 2015 (UTC)

I question the use of a couple of things that appear in the Plymouth Fury section, but can be found many places in Wikipedia concerning cars.

First, I'm referring to the use of "in³" to denote the cubic inch displacement of an engine. I realize this is perfectly accurate, but contextually, it seems a little out of place, considering it has had little if any use in automotive publications intended for general reading. I have always seen "440 cid", or "318 cu. in." The use of "in^3text" seems more appropriate for math textbooks, or for other non-automotive uses. Just my opinion.

Second, I don't quite understand why the engines' displacement is listed in liters when this system wasn't being used at the time, and no one referred to these engines by their metric displacement, just their cubic inch displacement. Seems to me like using a different calendar to denote the model year of a car, for example, a 2167 model Dodge Dart Sport (using the "Johnstonian" calendar maybe). It doesn't change when the car was made, but it makes it difficult for those of us who use the more commonly used calendar. Just a thought.

I myself find it somewhat wrong to use the picture of Christine to illustrate a Plymouth Fury myself. Having done some research on this subject, I know that Plymouth Fury of that era never came in the colours that Christine came in (red with white trimming), but rather in while with gold trimming. Besides, some of the cars used to flim "Christine" were actually Plymouth Belevedres (sp?), rather than Furies, and some of the features that Christine had were not found on standard Plymouth Furies. I think it could be more appropriate to use a picture of an actual Plymouth Fury to illustrate the car, and then include the picture of Christine outside the infobox to illustrate the use of that model in the movie's story. --A.K.R.

1987

This page states the Fury ended in 78, but I quite definately have a 1987 Grand Fury in my garage. Please do some research and correct this mistake as Furies were produced much later than 78. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 174.59.159.56 (talk) 03:26, 18 April 2010 (UTC)

That's not a regular Fury. It's the Gran Fury. ----DanTD (talk) 05:04, 14 February 2011 (UTC)

More popular culture

I believe that a Plymouth Fury is the car driven by (character) George Staub in the 2004 horror movie Riding the Bullet, another adaptation of a Stephen King novel RaynesParkGuy (talk) 19:36, 13 July 2014 (UTC)

Please review WP:WPACT, before adding these mentions to this article. "The guideline that has been widely accepted for automotive subjects is that mention of pop-culture references should be strictly limited to cases where the fact of that reference influenced the sales, design, or other tangible aspect of the vehicle. It is not sufficient to note that the vehicle had a major influence on its owner or some movie or TV show—such facts belong in the article about the owner, movie, or TV show." Thanks!

Assume you Mopar cognoscenti know the answer to the old joke: "What kind of car would Jesus drive?" Answer: "a Plymouth."
Supposedly it says in Genesis that "the Lord drove Adam and Eve out of the Garden of Eden in a Fury, but this is no doubt ... uh ... apocryphal. – Sca (talk) 23:13, 26 October 2019 (UTC)

1959 Sport Fury

I know the article mentions the fact that the 1959 Plymouth Sport Fury was the "top model," but how was it as a performance car, compared to the other Plymouths of the time? Or better yet the 1962-1971 Sport Fury? ---------User:DanTD (talk) 03:08, 11 November 2018 (UTC)
