I know this is a bit of an old thread by now, but I had to laugh when I read this. This persistent rumor about how there was one factory red '57 or '58 Fury, or convertible, or Ricky Nelson's car, blah blah blah; it all sounds like these stupid forwards we all get saying if you don't forward this email you'll have bad luck for seven years, like I said, blah blah blah.
If there ever was any possibility there WAS an original red or convertible '57 or '58 Fury, it died when the name Mopar Mel came up, as he is the MOST notorious of the known clone car producers. Mel mysteriously has had dozens of Savoy and Belvedere hardtops arrive at his place in Minnesota, only to somehow have just as many Furys leave. Gee, how did that happen???
If anyone truly believes there was an original '57 or '58 red or convertible Fury made at the factory, please email me ASAP -- I have some oceanfront property in Kansas I'd love to sell you CHEAP!!!

hi there,,only just got caught up with this one,,
i aint never said nothing about my fury been a factory red n
white,, hell i found gold paint on the sportone and behind the rear
windsheild rubbers while doing the repair work on the car after the
shippers damaged him bad style at the docks,,
i did say that i were told way back about the workers doing there
own thing while in there own time at the plants, everything cant be
set in stone for sure as some model pops up that people never say
were made, factory or some dealer with plenty of flair and
dollars..???who knows, me i aint too fussed i got the car a my
dreams after a lot a saving and making do with other models,lol.
anyway enjoy what you got i say and make the best of it,,happy
cruising,gn..uk.

too.. but am thinking a painting it buckskin for next season,,got
the gold sportone and dual antennas, even a set a wires on order..
