1957 Plymouth Fury

Only a car with the beautiful lines of the 1958 Plymouth Fury could have inspired the kind of obsession expressed in Stephen King’s “Christine.” While this Fury may not be possessed, this much chrome, this much tailfin, and a 305 hp Golden Commando V8 under the hood are worthy of close appreciation. Sure, this Fury is a huge hunk of glistening metal that is best driven in a straight line, and it may lack braking and turning performance, but who cares? The Fury is gorgeous and it represents an era where cars were designed to be alluring and gas prices were not an issue. Besides, once you feel the float of this boat going down a straightaway, winning may become less of a priority.
