Location: Minor Hill, TN		I have a 1961 plymouth fury. Mine is a 318 auto . I had a AM/FM cd player installed in mine. the Fm converter was not picking up stations really well . the radio I have in it now does ( I have it mounted under the dash) I also got the windows tinted to help keep the interrior cooler

Location: Georgia		That's a nice Fury, Steph! I like the black, it really makes the bright work stand out.

FIN ME, the FL floor mats were a recent purchase from Gary Goers in Montana, I'm really happy with them.

Here are a few photos from a recent cruise.

Location: Georgia		Dorsey, I went with basic Cooper "AV 4" 235/75R15 from my local tire store, I am happy with the size and style, very plain.
Although I do prefer the look of bias-plys, I plan on doing a lot of driving and opted for the radials because of ride and cost.

Pete, put some rattle can black over that green overspray in those wheel wells. It amazes me how many people miss that one little touch that doesn't even require masking to make a huge difference.

Location: bishop, ca		I bought my car sight unseen (not even any photo-illustrations included in the Old Cars Weekly ad) in 1980.

When I saw some photos of it (..." a rust free original") after buying him, I saw some major white over spray in the wheel wells.

Turns out that that new paint covered some shoddy rust out cover-up work all along his lower areas (he had lived in the Chi-Town area).

Rattle can gloss black restores the appearance of OE undercoating very nicely.

Location: Las Vegas, Nevada		I love the color. I recall MANY '61s being this color when these cars were still rather plentiful. Fawn or beige was another common color back in the day.

Nice turn around!

Thanks for keeping the manual transmission, too!

Location: Georgia		Thanks for the comments, fellas! Kenny, I went with the Mint Green from the '61 Plymouth paint charts, not the original color
to the car but a 1961 color anyway. I do look forward to seeing your '59 wagon's transformation!

And Mista Copper, I'll hop on that black out right away!
Actually, I did paint the springs and wheel wells, but looks like I missed the brake line there and a few other bits.
Pete
