Yet another false rumor. . .I'm sure someone over the years as retrofitted a
'57 Fury or two with a Hemi, but it was NOT done at the factory. Perhaps
even some dealers would swap out an engine for enough $$, but, like the
INfamous Ricky Nelson black Fury convert, this just didn't happen at the
factory. . .
Do any other of the Forward Look cars have these outrageous stories of
"factory" one-offs, and mysterious "disappearing" weird cars supposedly done
at the factory, or is it just the '57 Fury??? I never hear about the
supposed Elvis purple '58 Adventurer convert from the factory, or the
"factory" '55 C300 pink convert with 413 cross rams, it's always the '57
Fury that these rumors seem to target. Maybe it's just me. . . .
