Auction entries : 1The styling of the 1962 Plymouth Fury models was not well received, so they were redesigned with a new front-end design, painted full-length front to rear body side moldings, and an engine-turned insert on the Sport Fury. The front turn signals were mounted high on the fenders, and although easier to damage in that location, they were well accepted. The lamps had unique white lenses while most other manufacturers switched to amber signals to comply with the new federal requirement in 1963. Plymouth used an amber bulb behind a white lens for aesthetics when not illuminated.Among the Fury line, the four-door sedan was the most popular with 31,891 examples built. 31,832 examples of the two-door hardtop coupe were built, 11,877 were hardtop sedans, and 5,221 were convertibles. The combined station wagon totals were nearly 7,000 units.The total Sport Fury production line accounted for approximately 15,000 units with 11,483 being hardtop coupes and 3,836 convertibles.
