Re: [FWDLK] christine, myth or mystery?

[karl peterson <nitekatt@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I am overwhelmed with the amount of info garnered here on this subject.  Now
while Frank mentioned the amomalies with the door locks and tranny selector,
I was really wondering if the car was really a Fury at all and not simply a
red (since 58 Fury's didn't come in red) Belvedere with the 350 twin-fours
optional motor?
