The 1957 Plymouth Fury Coupe is one of the most famous Mopar performance cars of the 1950s, thanks to both its styling and its role as Plymouth’s halo model. It was part of Chrysler’s all-new “Forward Look” cars designed by Virgil Exner, and it embodied both speed and style in the late-’50s era. Sleek “Forward Look” design with dramatically finned rear fenders. Wide, horizontal grille and quad-like headlamp bezels (dual headlamps not yet fully legal in all states, so single headlights were standard).
Exclusive Sand Dune White paint with gold-anodized aluminum trim inserts (Fury-only finish). Sporty interior with gold accents, unique dash trim, and special steering wheel. Standard push-button TorqueFlite automatic transmission option, or 3-speed manual.
Widely considered one of the earliest muscle cars, combining style, performance, and exclusivity. For 1957 Fury, 7,438 units built. Only offered as a 2-door hardtop coupe, making it more exclusive than the volume Belvedere or Savoy lines.
