Plymouth's new-for-1955 models were well received, giving the company's executives confidence when it came time to sharpen up the styling for 1956 and introduced the Fury. Although Plymouth buyers preferred traditional designs, the Fury was a far cry from traditional. It was sporty and even flashy, and helped Plymouth broaden its overall customer base while encouraging current customers that good things were happening at Plymouth. Based on the Belvedere's familiar body, the Fury was powered by a 303 cubic inch V8 engine delivering 240 horsepower. On the day it made its debut at the Chicago Auto Show, it ran the Flying Mile at Daytona at 124 MPH. A month later, a Fury equipped with a pair of four-barrel carburetors nearly reached 145 MPH.
The Fury was more than just 'sport,' offering distinctive interiors, revised chassis dynamics, and unique color schemes. With a base price of $2,866, a total of 4,485 examples were sold.
The Fury was restyled in 1959 and became a standalone brand, with the new Sport Fury as the top offering. This moved the Belvedere down a notch along with the Savoy, and completely eliminated the Plaza.
This particular 1959 Plymouth Sport Fury Convertible is finished in blue and has twin rear antennas, twin sideview mirrors, wire wheels with wide whitewall radial tires, and rocker molding trim. The interior is upholstered with blue-and-white, patterned cloth with turquoise vinyl. The 361 cubic-inch Golden Commando V-8 engine has a four-barrel carburetor and is paired with an automatic transmission. There is a power convertible top, AM radio, power brakes, power steering, swivel bucket seats with a fold-down center armrest, an in-dash clock, and a padded passenger-side dashboard.By Daniel Vaughan | Oct 2022
