Plymouth Fury 1965 - 1968

The Fury was given 119-inch C-bodies from 1965 to 1968, in the form of 2-door and 4-door sedans, and station wagon. Cars were offered as Fury I; the base model, Fury II with better trim and added a 9-passenger wagon, and Fury III with a convertible option, as well as 2-door or 4-door hard tops and even better trim. Sport Fury models were not actually sporting, just better trimmed. Elwood Engel was behind all the straight lines for Pymouth from 1965. For 1967 a new more angular body appeared with a slight rise in the belt line at the c-pillar, and this area was altered again for 1968.
