While other makers were abandoning this feature, the Sport Fury doubled down with even larger protuberances than before, and there was certainly more refinement under the skin. Plymouth enhanced the Sport Fury’s already considerable reputation as a performer by adding a new engine to its lineup, the Golden Commando 395. Combined with Chrysler’s push-button Torqueflite automatic, improved torsion bar suspension and power steering and brakes, the Sport Fury was the equal of its rivals in handling and smoothness. This majestic 1960 Sport Fury convertible shines in Mist Green with full bright trim embellished with chromed wires and wide Whitewalls and a White power top. Exner’s iconoclastic styling was still evident in the fashionable interior in such details as the rectangular “Aero” steering wheel, swivel seats and pod-style instrument panel joining Pastel Green trim and variegated cloth seat inserts. https://www.mecum.com/lots/146936/1960-plymouth-fury-convertible/
