Silent Bob, SASS #23113 Posted February 13, 2023 Share Posted February 13, 2023 Kind of looks like a 65 Plymouth Fury. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had a friend who owned one. He was always asking me for advice on fixing it. The first time he told me his problem with the car I said “ You should check the **** (I don’t remember what) and I was right. After that he thought I was a car guru. Actually my score at diagnosing his problems wasn’t bad. That was one benefit of growing up with a father who designed aircraft engines for Curtis Wright Aeronautics. We never went to the garage for service it was always DIY. Started learning my tools at 5 years old before I started kindergarten. I miss my old man, now I are one my own dang self.

Blackwater 53393 Posted February 13, 2023 Share Posted February 13, 2023 Full sized Plymouth. Could be Belvedere or Fury. You can research the trim, visible at the base of the “C” pillar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PowderRiverCowboy Posted February 13, 2023 Share Posted February 13, 2023 Satellite was introduced in 1965 so could be , Problem is Boat is in the way to make a good fender ID .

Abilene Slim SASS 81783 Posted February 13, 2023 Share Posted February 13, 2023 I agree with PRC. Based on this and PWB images, it's no older than a '66 when the sculpted side panels were introduced. Seems the Plymouths were the ones adorned with the chrome trim at the C-pillar and fender union. Were they doing vinyl roofs in '66, or was that a '67 introduction?

Lone Spur Jake SASS #7728 Posted February 14, 2023 Share Posted February 14, 2023 Doesn't matter what year or what model, back then all Chrysler brand cars were cool. And so were GM and Ford. That's why at auctions 60's vehicles bring premium prices. Oh for the great old days of everything! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
watab kid Posted February 14, 2023 Share Posted February 14, 2023 i agree , there were so many great ones in that era - a few duds but not many , ptice tags are there as well on these Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sawhorse Kid Posted February 14, 2023 Share Posted February 14, 2023 Based on the shape of the front wind wings, it is a 66/67 Plymouth....trim package unknown. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
