The 1960 Fury was the top-line Plymouth, with the most exaggerated styling to date. Fins started farther back than the year before, and rose sharply in a curve with a circular medallion in the center. The headlight eyebrow trim curved around the side of the fender and above the wheel arch, which was cut back, and the area in front of the wheel was a contrasting color, with “Fury” script in it. The two-door hardtops had enormous extended rear windows unlike most anything on the road. The Fury line offered a four-door sedan, two- and four-door hardtop, and convertible, and there were six- and eight passenger Sport Suburban station wagons.

This car, however, is a fury of Furies, powered by the “Sonoramic Commando” dual-quad cross-ram induction engine. The transmission is Chrysler’s renowned pushbutton TorqueFlite automatic. It has air conditioning, AM radio, heater-defroster, dashboard clock; power steering and brakes, plus the “Sport deck” faux spare tire on the trunk lid.

Recipient of a nut-and-bolt restoration, it is clean throughout. The upholstery is a vinyl-cloth combination; matching-contrasting with the gold exterior paint. There are a few minor tears in the seating. It has the renowned “square” steering wheel, with flattened upper and lower surfaces, meant to increase driver comfort. The convertible top is tan canvas and has a gold vinyl boot. Chrome wire wheels with whitewall tires add to the inspiring visual effect. The engine compartment is clean and is correctly, though not excessively, detailed. The undercarriage is similarly sanitary and functional.

Plymouth was not known for supercars in the early 1960s. This car belies that image.
