1963 fury

[jim ritchie]

Hey,I love your 63's (past and present) and thanks for the info about the Canadian and US cars,I can't recall ever seeing a Canadian 63 Plymouth before I saw yours but now I'll know what to look for.Is the two tone only on Furys? or is it the same on Savoy's and Belvedere's as well?

As you guessed,my car is an American model.I bought it in Wenatchee Washington on a car lot there a couple weeks ago.The car was titled in Portland Oregon and was apparently there for several years but it might have originally come from Yakima Washington.I was hoping someone on here might recognize the car and help me fill in the blanks.It definitely spent a lot of time in a dry climate as the car is clean and solid throughout.

I've never seen a 361 Commando badge until I saw the ones on this car.I think they look great under the 'Fury' script on the front fender.
I now have the car stored safely indoors for the winter where I'll be working on it from time to time.If you're out this way,let me know and I can show you the car if you're interested.

I do believe the two tone is only on the(can) fury,because they had the chrome,or really stainless steel package,which included the trim on lower back Roof,and two tone costs extra,and most Savoy's were bare bones,except for maybe the badest and biggest power train ,if ordered!!Also agree the 361 commando rare TO ME,but maybe other,s may say different,mostly the ones I remember were 383,interesting to fine out how many survived!!Maybe next summer when we are down in Victoria,we'll look at your car closer,will be back from Arizona by May.Keep in touch,,,Just a note to all,this forum is great for info,,,didn,t know how MANY makes,models,engines,trans,colours(colors)you were able to order for 63.Thanks to the staff and early members,that put this whole site together so we can share info!!!
