It was introduced for the 1956 model year as a sub-series of the Plymouth Belvedere, becoming a separate series one level above the contemporary Belvedere for 1959. The word "fury" denotes a type of anger, inspired by the Furies, mythological creatures in Ancient Greek and Ancient Roman mythology.
This is the history of the Plymouth FURY
Plymouth replaced the Belvedere with the Sport Fury and Fury in 1959. Fury now offered a 2-door hardtop, 4-door sedan, and station wagon. Sport Fury featured only 2-door hardtops and convertibles. Reintroduced in mid-1962, the Sport Fury was discontinued in 1959.
A 2 or 4-barrel carburetor Golden Commando with 361 cu in (5.92 L) superseded the 350 in 1959. The dual four-barrel 318 was dropped that year, but the four-barrel was available on this engine until 1962.
1960 1961
1960 introduced unibody construction, Chrysler's ram induction technique, and the Slant-Six engine. Original 318, 383, and 361 were available. The 225 cu in (3.69 L) slant-6 produced 145 horsepower. 383s had 330 horsepower.
1974
During the 1974 model year, the newly redesigned full-size C-body 1974 Plymouth Fury was offered as the last full-size car in production after nine previous model years of production as a full-size car (since from model years 1965-1968 and from model years 1969-1973).
1975 - 1978
During the start of the 1975 model year, Chrysler moved the Fury name, which had been part of the full-size C-body Plymouth model line up during the previous ten model years over to the restyled mid-size B-body 1975 Plymouth Fury line up, which had been marketed as the Satellite during the previous nine model years. The "Road Runner" was offered as the top-of-the-line model of the redesigned Plymouth Fury 2-door line up, then it was moved over to the Plymouth Volare line up during the following model year (1976).
The 1976 model year mid-size B-body 1976 Plymouth Fury saw very few appearance changes from the previous year other than the availability of a dual opera window roof on Sport Fury two-door models. Engine/transmission offerings were also unchanged except that the 360 two-barrel V8 was now the standard engine on station wagons along with the TorqueFlite automatic transmission, both items of which were optional on other models.
The 1977 model year mid-size B-body 1977 Plymouth Fury received a new front end with a chrome vertical bar grille and outline along with stacked rectangular headlights. Model and drivetrain offerings were unchanged from 1976 except that the Slant Six now had two-barrel carburetion replacing the one-barrel pot of previous years and was now standard on the Sport Fury two-door models.
The 1978 model year was technically a mid-size B-body car, but the 1978 Plymouth Fury was Plymouth's largest car with the discontinuation of the full-size C-body Plymouth Gran Fury after 1977. TorqueFlite automatic transmission and power steering were now standard on all Fury models and the same selection of V8 engines was still available. Few appearance changes were made from the previous model year. The 1978 was the last model year for the Plymouth Fury
