Eighteen feet long, weighing in at over 3,500 pounds, sporting fins that were shark-like in nature and chrome the entirety of the bottom perimeter of the car, from the bumpers to the rocker panels. The 1960 Plymouth Fury was not a subtle car in any way. It was still bit, still brashly American, still wearing a kind of smirk to it’s “face” that nobody would recognize until after the works of Stephen King and John Carpetnter came to light a couple of decades later. Truth be told, the 1960 Plymouth had problems that stemmed from the styling. The fins threw people off and the front end of the car looked much less graceful than the previous three years did…at least, that’s what the reviewers said. In reality, if you didn’t switch up your style every year, you got dusted and underneath the Plymouth was a much better car than the 1957s could’ve hoped to have been.
It’s a cold mother of a winter in Canada, but in the paint booth of Cold War Motors, it’s plenty warm because the paint booth is in operation. One of their deep builds is a 1960 Plymouth Fury two-door and today’s the day that it gets a few coats of Twilight Blue and white. Any car saved is a good thing, and seeing one of the Fin Car era’s misses getting it’s second chance to shine makes us happy. This will be quite a looker when it’s all back together!
Always liked those front wheel openings.And the last American fins. Very cool old Mopar.great job .Thanks for keeping her stock.
I like to know how many hours of metal work went into the Fury. I think he used three cars to produce one! Car is looking good though.
