Vehicle Description
This 1960 Plymouth Fury Convertible exemplifies the "Forward Look"
design, with its large tail fins and futuristic interior. Initially
debuting in the middle of 1956 as a midyear addition to the
top-of-the-line Belvedere models, the Fury was conceived as a
high-performance sports coupe with a luxurious look and feel. In
the years that followed, it was extremely evident that Virgil
Exner's "Forward Look" designs were incorporated throughout the
luxurious Fury. In 1959, the Fury became its own model line,
supplanting the Belvedere atop Plymouth's product hierarchy. 1959
was also significant because it marked the first year that the Fury
was offered as a convertible, this time as a special model named
the "Sport Fury." By 1960, the "Sport Fury" name was dropped and
the Plymouth Fury was the highest level offering for Plymouth.
These models featured gold "Fury" lettering on the front fenders,
special trim that ran the length of the car, and special "Fury"
medallions on the "rear stabilizers" otherwise known as tail fins.
Under the hood on this particular Fury Convertible is a 318 Cubic
Inch V8 engine with a single 2 barrel carburetor that pushed out
230 horsepower in its day. The 318 V8 is hooked up to an Automatic
Transmission that is shifted using the novel Push Button shifter
mounted on the dash. With dual exhaust, this classic Mopar has a
nice throaty sound. This '60 Fury is equipped with power steering
which makes getting in and out of tight spaces much easier and
improves the overall driving experience. The exterior has been
refinished in a beautiful two-tone paint scheme consisting of Sky
Blue with Caribbean Blue inserts on the front fender as well as on
the faux continental kit on the trunk lid. The blue vinyl power
convertible top works great, going up and down with the simple push
of a button. This Plymouth Fury sits on 4 wide whitewall bias-ply
tires with full wheel covers for that truly classic look. The
interior on this Fury looks like it is from the Future! From the
uphostery to dash layout to the font on the buttons and gauges,
everything has a Forward Looking appearance. The front and rear
bench seats have been upholstered in Light Blue and White Vinyl
with Blue Cloth Inserts, matching the overall look of the car. The
dash, door panels and steering wheel all have that futuristic look
as well. The dash, which is in its stock configuration, features a
"floating" 120 MPH speedometer, fuel gauge, temperature gauge, and
clock, as well as the Push Button Shifter, push button radio, and
rear-view mirror. Whether you are looking for your very first
classic mopar or you have a garage full of wing cars, this 1960
Plymouth Fury Convertible would make an excellent choice. Give us a
