Styling took a back seat to simple availability as the automakers ramped up production to meet pent-up post-World War II demand, but that exceptional seller’s market soon gave way to fierce competition as buyers began demanding models that reflected the new prosperity. After a slow start in that new direction, Plymouth overcame disappointing sales with fresher designs and a new deluxe performance model: the Fury. Initially an upgraded Belvedere, in 1957 the Fury was a fully-integrated design by the great Virgil Exner; suddenly everyone else was playing catch-up.
This 1957 Plymouth is fully restored in the only color scheme available that year: Sand Dune White on Beige, with distinctive Gold fin accents and a handsome White and Brown interior. Showing 61,142 believed-actual miles, its dual Carter 4-barrel 318/290 HP V-8 is mated to a push-button Torqueflite automatic transmission. This milestone Plymouth is typically well-equipped with power steering and brakes, wide whitewalls and full-sized wheel covers, tinted glass, push-button radio, 150 MPH speedometer, swivel seats and dual exhaust.
