[FWDLK] 57-8 Fury roofline

["Bill K." <pontiac@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Here's a good one for you.

Made mention of a rough maybe-Fury I know of in the eBay auction trying to
unload my Belvedere.  Guy writes, asking "do you know what shape the top is
on on this Fury?"   ...  I write back that I don't really know - I did
confirm the car exists still last summer, but I haven't had a chance to go
see it since college in like 1997, and at the time I was clueless what I was
looking at as far as being that rare or special to pay attention to.


Anyhow, he tells me he's interested in case he wants to change the Belvedere
over to the Fury roofline.  I say to myself, what???


Anyone have any idea what he could mean?  I thought that a Fury, at the most
basic level, amounts to a trim, interior and engine upgrade on a Belvedere -
the roof shape, rear glass and even the stainless roof side rib trim are the
same, a 57-58 Plymouth 2-door hardtop is a 57-58 Plymouth 2-door hardtop in
other words.

The 4dr hardtop roof I can see is a touch different, as of course the sedan
top is...  but I never heard of any Fury-specific sheetmetal changes before.
And after seeing a pair of pretty sharp real Furys (one of each year) at
Rhinebeck today, I don't see anything obviously different either -


One thing about eBay, it brings out the nuts, the strange questions, the car
guys and everything inbetween.  At least so far I haven't gotten any nasty
notes telling me to scrap it yet - this one, I probably would write back and
agree with them on for a change.



Thanks -


Bill K.
