PICs - Daily Dose of Diecast... Friday 1957 Plymouth Fury Hardtop
-Franklin Mint
If it wasn't for the roofline/windshield, this would be an exceptional model.

Gorgeous! Got it in my Mopar collection....
.... one of my first memories of cars was my family's 1957 Plymouth wagon. I was 5 years old and already well on my way to being a car junkie.

John, your pics great! Just wish FM would have gotten that roof-line correct.

Similar to “Miss Belvedere” the poor car that got buried and rusted away!

I went to Tulsa in 2007 to see the car unearthed. There was lots of optimism that the Plymouth survived for the last 50 years as entombed in 1957. That optimism was short lived, as the lid came off and the car was revealed to be sitting in two feet of red-orange rusty liquid. Orange stained lines in the vault revealed how the water level had risen and fallen over the prior 50 years. The poor Belvedere, after exhumation, looked a lot like a large piece of KFC extra crispy fried chicken.
