120 MPH SPEEDOMETER ON A FURY
Back in 1958 I saw at least 3 different Fury's with 120
speedometers. At that time they were brand new.
Two were sitting in the
Chrysler Plymouth Showroom at two different dealerships. Years later I
could not find one single one with a 120 speedometer. When I saw the
new one with the 120 I asked the salesman why it had the wrong
speedometer and he said some of them had 120's and some didn't. I
think one plant install the 120 speedometer for a very short time. Seeing
the Fury on E bay is the 4th one I saw now.!!!!! Back then a lot of people took
the 2/4bbl carbs off and went to single 4 bbl. Hey kids were not buying them and
the older people that liked the body style did not intend to race them or even
drive them fast.

PS. After all back then gas was so expensive at .25 a
gallon and if you made $50 dollars a week you had a good
job.!!!!!
