hahahaha... and I am an idiot who fumbled on the number pad...

My bad, there... Hwy 11 this was. Sorry bout that.


It basically hops back and forth over I-59 and is one of the nicest drives I have taken.

Sounds like a great trip! If you have any other photos, please post them! Nothing finer than driving your FL on a road trip...
Very cool!

Thanks!

Actually, I just recently reinstalled them. The only ones I was able to get still had broken pins on them, so I had to figure out a way to attach them to the body, which I did finally get around to doing a couple months ago.

If you squint in the last picture you can see a little sliver of chrome up there.

Not too many pics have been taken lately of the old girl, just driving her all over, enjoying every minute of it. I've put several hundred miles on here since the long trip we took a few weeks back.

I was at a gas station the other day, and a younger gentleman came up to me and tells me, "Dude... that car is what's up.". I think that's good... haha.

Took these pics the other night at the Bowling alley. Who wouldn't want to come out after a night of bowling, and climb into this beauty for the drive home?

Thanks, Pete.

Yup, it's in Hixson, TN, one of the off-shoots of Chattanooga if you will.

And, yes, we are all enjoying her right now. I do have to take a little break and drive the other cars every now and then. Gas isn't getting any cheaper these days.

Thats why I enjoy my "2" /6 cars. I like to savor all the mileage that I get out of my non-ethanol fuel.

She just rolled over 90k miles a week ago, and another 350 or so last week... it's really getting a workout.

I hear ya, Dorsey. I tell everybody who asks... mine has a V8, but being a ridiculously heavy V8, with a 2 barrel carb, I'd probably be just as well off with a six... just sayin....

I just got a 1961 Tennesee license plate. I plan to have it issued to my 1961fury. I thought why not . I also hope to see you at the Athens, AL cars and bike on the square its this Saturday. I know these folks would love for you to attend. I keep a bottle of the Ethenol treatment in the trunk of my fury incase I need it

Rick, you can probably get more performance, and MPG, by having your car's distributor get re-worked.

What Autolite number is it? IBJ/IBK ....?

It's been a long time since I posted up a pic of my car... not because I forgot about her, or that I don't love you guys...


Quite honestly, just been driving her... a lot, actually...

Took these pics of her the other day at work... outside, in the blistering cold... I think this is what you might call her "grumpy" face.

But, I don't care. She's still beautiful to me...

Last pic snow... this one rain...

This poor old girl is just having to endure the elements all the time... But that's okay. She's made the rounds to a few cruise ins, small road trips, Junk Shop hunting... all in addition to the several times a week trek to work or wherever... and hasn't let me down yet.

I think it's more important for me that my car's cool factor is rated not in trophies and car show flyers, but those dead, cement like splatted bugs on the front bumper, grille, and windshield...

I can't not drive it as much as possible...



Had her for a little over 3 years now, and I still fall in love every time I get behind the wheel. It's just something that you can't explain to a non-car person. But that's okay too.

Love seeing them really driven! You have a beautiful savoy! Could you post a pic of the radio? I have never gotten a clear pic of one of those odd radios!

Thanks! She is definitely a much loved, and often driven, member of the family.

My radio isn't a factory unit.

My car originally sold without a radio in it, and someone added this Motorola AM unit afterwards...

Thanks. I have seen them in quite a few other 57-58 Plymouths before.
