TRASH HEAP 1960 Plymouth Fury
1960 Plymouth Fury with SonoRamic Commando Power
Plymouth cars had high-flying tailfins integrated into the rear quarter panels of their cars from 1955 to 1960. The Fury, named after the Furies, mythological creatures in Greco-Roman mythology, was introduced for 1956 as a sub-series of the Belvedere; then becoming a separate full-size car series, one level above the Belvedere for 1959 to 1961.
1960 was the first year for unibody construction and the first year for Chrysler's ram induction system. This year the original 318, 361 and 383 V8s were available. The 225 cu in slant-6 was also available. The high performance 383 cu in, dual-quad, cross-ram induction engine, named "SonoRamic Commando Power," seen here, produces 330 hp.
A total of 63,073 full-size Plymouth cars were produced in 1960, of which 7,080 were convertibles. Factory price for a Fury convertible was $2,932, with a shipping weight of 3,630 lbs.
A Plymouth ad of the time noted, "No, they're not fins!" ... "A car has two centers: a center of gravity and a center of pressure. To keep the car stable, the center of gravity should be low and forward, and its center of pressure should be as far to the rear as possible". One way Plymouth managed to bring the center of pressure back was by designing stabilizers. These stabilizers "reduce by 20% the needs for steering correction in a cross wind."
