Location: Harrison, NY		Having several high end projects can get a little expensive sons buy a nice solid although Hot Rodded 58 Vert. I realized I may not get to it and could have used the space. I offer it for sale at a real fair price of $22.5K with Bumper Wings included so basically the car is $20K. A million tire kickers and picture collectors, people wanting the car for free and all kinds of nonsense.

Sooooo today the mail comes and lo and behold I received my Chrysler Historical documentation and as I read it I almost fell of the Sofa!!!! How about a special ordered Factory GC L-350 Dual Quads, Trq Flt and Sure Grip!!!!! Man I am excited to have a basically factory black Conv Fury!!!!!!

Guess what?? It's no longer for sale!!!

Frame off Resto after Packard Caribbean is in order!!!

What the CHS didn't know was that the tires were Rayon cord; woulda thought that they'd be Nylon, but, the Rayons rode
more comfortably, but didn't have the service life of the harder riding Nylons.

Your car may have been ordered by the dealership (as opposed to its being a factory-designated production vehicle), but it looks like
it wasn't an 'official' customer-ordered car.

What is its code, at the bottom of the card, under "Car Service (if any)" ?

Also, what is its (delivery) Route number?

You are lucky; that is a very legible IBM card copy, there!

Dual 4-bbl convertible..with the single side-stainless 'spear-trim' !!

Location: Parts Unknown		I had a near identical car years ago ... sadly left out in the elements to rot (like most), ... but same
paint, trim, interior, and top color. The seller told me it was stolen off a car lot when new and he bought
it, sans drivetrain, through an insurance auction. He never knew how it was originally equipped and stuck
a 300c drivetrain in it.

Cool car. I have come to really dig that lack of sportone sweep, as it looks so unusual on a fancy-pants
model like this.

Location: bishop, ca		It's a very 'clean' purposeful look; this was a serious go-fast car when new.


...And no bumper 'wings'; yeah, they were an option, and therefore "desirable", but IMHO, they added nothing to the
appearance of the 57-58 Plymouths.

Was there actual documentation of the 300C drive train in it?   I've seen one hardtop similar that Don Petty claimed as a factory install.  Doubted it highly.

Wayne,

The car came out of Ray's Auto Wrecking in Canby, Oregon. Ray got the car from an insurance auction
after it was stolen off a car lot in Portland and had the drivetrain removed. It was RAY who told me all
this, as well as the bit about putting a 300c drivetrain in it.  When I got the car, the 300c gear was gone
and Ray informed that he had planned to put an Olds 394 in the car when he lost interest and never
went back.

 

As for documentation, Ray's word was a good as gold.  I saw no need to "document" any of it !   :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

I agree, sometimes less is better. Here is a shot of my "EX" 58 Savoy sport coupe. I had a full set of bumper ends restored for it but  once I assembled the car I decided against using them.

Location: Harrison, NY		Well fellas looks like I may be in luck locating the original numbers matching engine!!!! I was able to speak to the second and longest owner's family and this was a Bumper Wing or as I was told, "it had these end pieces on bumper that he removed for racing" so I do have a real nice set of wings that will be part of the Resto. I am just so happy this car has turned out to be a Fury equipped Convertible.

Again thanks for all the nice comments and info.

Location: Seville, OH		Wow, Christmas came early for you! What great surprise and a super cool ride. Are there any other convertibles known to have the GC option?

I always thought the bumper wings were too exaggerated. I probably would like something more subtle, but given a choice between wings or no wings, I think the no-wing is more attractive. But if this "Fury" convertible came with them then they need to go back on.

My Packard Caribbean is next and will take lots time and $$ for a correct Resto. Just can't do both although I would love to.
