As the once proud and happy owner of a 66 Fury--those things were indestructible tanks. It's great to see a MoPar Granddaddy like this one still quietly doing its job. It seems like every taxi in the 60s was a MoPar, just check out old movies/shows.

Remember the Dodge La Femme of '55-6 vintage?

This is the Plymouth Manger La Merde. Stay the fuck out of its way. It might be clean and well-restored, but it's not happy. Look, but don't touch.

Actually, Chrysler was way ahead of the other two when it comes to the intermediate size. You see, this Belvedere used the "downsized" platform of the Fury that was introduced in 1962. with each year afterwards, Elwood Engel, who replaced Virgil Exner as the Chrysler Design Chief, tacked on a little more length, and a little less wierd.

To Illustrate: 1962 Fury

1963 Fury

1964 Fury

As you can see, the roofline for the Fury was just carried on with the Belvedere. Also, look at the windshield from 62 onward, same as the Belvedere.

Belvedere has to be one of the best car names ever.

Those Belvederes are clean sharp cars.

The Plymouth was about the cheapest car you could buy back then. Good value I'd say.

@Flathead Smith: It was one of the cheapest cars you could buy back then?

Today's cheapest car must be a Kia Rio or something...

Where did it all go wrong?
