1958 Plymouth Belvedere Fury Toreador Red Convertible 318cu/ 290hp
'Christine'The 1958 Fury was stylish, plush, plenty fast, and produced in relatively few numbers, making it a very collectible ’50s cruiser today. 1958 marked the third model year for Plymouth’s top-of-the-line performance model, the Fury two-door hardtop. In 1982, author Stephen King wrote a novel called “Christine” about a 1958 Plymouth Fury that terrorized its high school owner, introducing millions of horror fans to a car that was memorable for many reasons.
Belvedere side trim included a single, full-length distinctive horizontal molding slanting from headlamp level towards the back fender. Ahead of the taillights, the molding angled up towards the top of the fin. When the optional “Sport Tone” finish was added, a lower molding was included that ran from above back bumper and tapered towards the upper molding at the front fender tip. The area inside the moldings was then finished with contrasting colors, usually matching the roof.
