I took these photos back in the early 2000's at one of the "Back to the 50's" annual events at the Minnesota State Fair. I've always felt the 1959 Plymouth Fury (etc.) are forgotten cars when we reflect back on 1959.
We talk about General Motors out of this world fins, but Plymouth (from Chrysler Corporation) seems to slip under the radar. I
don't by any means think it was one of the best looking for '59, but I do think it was better than anything offered by Ford Motor Company that year.
In retrospect, the '59 Plymouth is nice to look at.
The 59 Plymouth Fury has not been forgotten in 1/43 scale. Some beautiful hardtops and convertibles have been made in white metal which sit on my shelves. Having the image is why I don't confine myself to any one scale.

I understand your logic Bob. But for me, the "little" cars (1:43 scale) just don't do it for me. I have a cousin who has collected them extensively and I just can't warm up to them. I guess I've been doomed to only enjoy 1:24/25 scale models, with the rare exception of a few 1:18 scale.
