1973 Plymouth Fury Gran Coupe: Gran Green

As has frequently been the case this spring and summer, I found myself out on the deck after work, with a gin and tonic, looking at old, gas-guzzling Broughamage online. Today’s subject is a top of the line Fury Gran Coupe.

The Wild and Crazy Times of the Chrysler Ghia Plainsman

Note: Today’s post is by a friend of mine in Sweden, who goes by the nom de plume of Billie Biscayne. She’s always loved Fifties cars and wanted to submit a post right here on RG. Please welcome her. -TK Have you seen Barrett-Jackson on tv and made a mental note of putting that on…

1973 Plymouth Fury Sport Suburban: Family Truckster

I don’t know about you, but I have always loved woody station wagons. And with the advent of tippy-toed, ill-handling crossovers, three-quarters of which are ugly enough to scare a bulldog off of a meat wagon, I love them more than ever. Like this top of the line, Di-Noc clad, bechromed Plymouth from The Year…

Quick Look: 1965 Plymouth Belvedere – With 440 Power!

Note: Another post from my friend, Mike Batch Kirouac! -TK On the Saturday before Christmas of 2012, my son and I went into town to pick up some last minute items for supper at the grocery store. As we walked through the parking lot, a beautiful, shiny white ’65 Plymouth Satellite rolled in, drove past…

1967 Plymouth VIP: Plymouth Goes Brougham

Starting in the mid-’60s, the “Low Priced Three”, namely, Ford, Chevrolet and Plymouth, decided to go upscale. Said results included two models familiar to old car nuts: Caprice and LTD. And a third, which only the most with-it Mopar devotees or Brougham aficianados will know of: The Plymouth VIP. The VIP displaced the Sport Fury…

1975 Plymouth Valiant Brougham: Groovy Little A-Body

A Valiant Brougham? Like jumbo shrimp and military intelligence, it may seem like something of a contradiction in terms. The Valiant, a standalone marque in its first year of existence, a Plymouth ever after, always stood for simple operation, low cost and staid reliability. And Brougham has always stood for, well, Brougham. Excess. Plush, over…

Just Right: The 1965 Intermediates

If you’re in the market for a midsize car today, you have plenty of choices. Well, for now, as the ever present crossover is rapidly compelling the manufacturers to kill off the traditional midsize sedan. Several nameplates from which to choose–Camry, Impala, Fusion and Optima and of course Accord, to name a few. And they…

1969 Plymouth Sport Fury Convertible: Mmm, Fuselage!

This past Friday, I attended the monthly Classy Chassy car club’s cruise night out at Coral Ridge Mall. I enjoy this show very much. It is held the last Friday of the month from May through September, and I’ve seen some pretty cool cars there. The best part is the variety. Sure, some cars I…

1960 Valiant V-200 – Pre-Plymouth

Valiant. Speak the name to anyone who grew up in the Sixties and it will almost certainly prompt a ton of memories, both good and bad: “Oh, my Aunt Becky and Uncle Sid had one, it was the toughest car they ever had!” Or, “I drove one in high school, got it for $100 off a shady…

1969 Plymouth Fury III – Furious Fuselage

It’s funny, ever since I stopped regularly writing two years or so ago, I keep stumbling on old photo files and finding cars shot years ago that I totally forgot about. Whenever I see an interesting old car, I get all excited and think “I will write this up tonight! It’s so cool!” Then three…
