Hey list, I was looking at
the recently completed auction on ebay for the '58 Fury in Missouri that did not
meet reserve (high bid $15K). One of the questions posed to this seller
was whether or not his car came with PS and PB. He replied that he thought
ALL early Furys came with them.
My '57 Fury does not have PS or
PB. My build sheet indicates my car never did have them. Does anyone
have any theories on what percentage of '56 to '58 Furys had these two options,
and why a new Fury buyer would or would not want them?
All along I've kinda thought my
Fury came without these two items because the original owner didn't want the
extra weight to slow him down off the line when lining up alongside a Corvette
or Tbird. . .or a 300! But then again, my '57 has a Torqueflite, and don't
they weigh more than the standard trans? Could you get a new '57 Fury with
a standard trans??
