Guest Skyking Posted June 4, 2006 Share Posted June 4, 2006 Tom, nice example of a 1959 Plymouth. I never seen that year, but I have seen a '57 Fury a few years ago............. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave@Moon Posted June 4, 2006 Share Posted June 4, 2006 It is a 1959 Fury replica. I believe these bodies were often sold independently, made for attachment to home-built a chassis. I don't know if there was a single major manufacturer or several, but they seem to all be of 1958-1960 cars. I've seen 1960 Buick, this Plymouth, and (a long time ago if a I recall correctly) a 1958 Ford. This old Corvette body is being offered on a web site right now for $950.

mrpushbutton Posted June 5, 2006 Share Posted June 5, 2006 I have see a few of those, the oldest of which was a 1955 Pontiac. Plastic body (fiberglass?) and a 12V starter motor driving the rear wheels. These must have been a little cottage industry thing, had to be expensive when new. The Detroit Zoo used to use a Pontiac in the monkey (chimp) show they used to put on daily, before the animal rights types kiboshed it. Now there is a "natural enviroment" sort of thing, you rarely see a chimp, and when you do they are giving the kiddies a lesson in the birds and bees <span style="font-style: italic">"mommy, what are they doing?"</span> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest aheadforkeeps Posted July 10, 2006 Share Posted July 10, 2006 Hi,This a 59 Fury Junior that was made by the Powercar Company in Mystic, Conn.. These were sold through the Plymouth dealers. There were versions of the 1958, 1959 and 1960 Plymouths made. I have a 1958 Fury Junior myself to go with my full size 1958 Fury.
