Let's get a grip. Who knows what the factory actually made. (A few years back a 1960 300F, 4 speed convertible was discovered, prior to that, only the 7 hardtops were know to exist.) On the cover of the 58 Plymouth brochure is a red and white Belvedere. I am sure many of those were produced. And I am sure there were some with the GC 350 option. Which included the heavy duty suspension and the GC wheels. As for Stephen King picking a red Fury, Fury sounds better for a killer car than belvedere or impala or fairlane. And red is a good killer car color. I was called by the production company making Christine and I got the impression they didn't care what the pedigree of the 58 Plymouth was, they just wanted cars. I offered to rent a couple of mine, but they only wanted to buy. I did rent mine to the movie "Cat's Eye a year or so later. --- In goldenfin@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx, archangel1390@xxxx wrote: > > > Doug, > > You seem to write with a lot of authority when you say you know they > made one red Fury at the factory.
