A striking 1960 Plymouth Fury Convertible crossed the auction block today at Mecum’s Indy Fall Special, commanding a final price of $106,700, including auction fees. This beautifully restored convertible is a prime example of early 1960s American automotive craftsmanship, showcasing Plymouth’s distinctive design language. With its sleek lines, powerful V8 engine, and luxurious features, this Fury stands out as a remarkable blend of style and performance from an era when cars were as much about making a statement as they were about getting from point A to point B.

 
A beautiful car and restoration that looks more upscale than what you think of a Plymouth (which was the least expensive brand in the Chrysler Corp. line-up at the time). The colors, appointed chrome accents, trunk detail, cross-over intakes, front wheel opening detail, chrome wire wheels, and air conditioning all speak of a very up-market car. This Plymouth convertible definitely looks like it should be in the Chrysler or Imperial line-up. Even the red, white and blue ring around the Plymouth logo on the rear fins made me think it could be a Chrysler 300.
 
My Dad and I went to look at a new white 1960 Fury two door in Queens NY when I was a kid. When they opened the hood, there it sat, a Sonic Commando Ram Inducted V-8. My Dad had no idea what it was, I knew immediately. The debate started before the salesman closed the hood, “ Dad, we really need THIS car, it’s the most advance car out there, it can be mine in four years, PLEASE” !! We got a new black 1960 Dodge Dart two door with a slant six. In six years it was my car. I had wheels, but I truly wanted that Ram Inducted Fury. Oh those memories still haunt me to this day. Looking at this article I can still see, hear, feel my Dad, the stubborn Irishman saying no to me and crushing my dream in Queens, NY in 1960.
