1958 Plymouth walk-around

[bg147]

My grandpa always talked about his Plymouth Golden Commando with two 4 barrel carbs. He never talked about the model or the year... just that it was the Golden Commando. Later, he told me it was a '58 and that it was a 350. I think it was the Fury. Yours is sweet.

[tb40ford]

Wow this is a beauty. I am just know discovering how beautiful these cars are.

I was raised on Chevy but now I am really liking these Plymouth's.

A real nice machine there.

you know you got the hottest car on the planet right?

[Buick61]

I certainly like it. Thanks!

[BigOldCar]

You ever get the urge to chase a fat kid down a narrow alley and then watch the car heal itself?

Just curious...

[officialtouchdown]

wats the price range on these?

[217zadok]

a 350 cid.........??

thought the fury was the test platform for

the 383 cid w/twin carter 4barrels.......???

or the heads where upgraded.......???????

do you know thanks....

[northlight1908]

This is an original 350 cid/305 hp Belvedere? Wow... rare option indeed. Was red and white the original paint scheme on this one? (Seems like every '58 Plymouth I see is red and white, because of the movie car.)

[Buick61]

Yeah, it's a year and car-correct engine. It was originally a black car, but I think it looks best in this color combo.

[herbienbrian]

so you can fit elderbrocks on those motors :D

[sudiste59]

could you explain me why the movie Christine we have a Fury and it looks as to be a Belvedere model?

What are the fifferences between the two models?

[Buick61]

In the book, the Fury was special ordered to be red. In real life, the Fury only came in beige with gold trim. The "Fury" in the movie was a mix of Belvederes and Furys all painted the same way, with Belvedere-style trim. The Fury was a special model in the Belvedere series.

[sudiste59]

Ok , so I understand why I have seen a video of man who said that also, the Fury was only in this colour as beige.

But there is also a model of Packard or a Desoto that had nearly the same look as this car , isn'it?

[ArrowPontiacG8Guru]

VERY nice car.

[thespeez]

I love that two-tone scheme! I hope you have a garage for it. That is too beautiful a car to be sitting outside! It's sad to say but "on a quite night you can hear a late '50s Mopar rust" was reality for many an owner of those cars! Quality control as I understand it was a bit slack as well. :(

[josehphh]

hello

what red tone of the car ????

thanks

[peter455sd]

-You pack a 440 ain't you?

-That is no poly engine...

[Buick61]

Nope, it's a one-year-only 350 Big Block V8. Plymouth was the only one to get it with 2x4s that year.

[peter455sd]

-Yes,you're right,my mistake.

-I worked with some of those cars in the 80s and they used to pack polys with dual quads and wedge shaped vcs on the lower sides,with the same type air cleaners,all chrome though...

-Those were the 318 dual V800,standard engine on Furys,you got the second year of the big block architecture but narrower than a 440,so it can only be the 350 Golden Commando V8.

-You're right,i'm wrong congratulations on the car!

[peter455sd]

-Do you know that Egge obsolete engine parts still make rebuild kits for those engines?

-I believe that they're the only ones in the market that still have that...

[inkey2]

what a beauty......HEY....no "power brakes" on that monster.....I do not see a brake booster on rubber bellows near the master cylinder.

[GGundamBlue]

now all u gotta do is play johnny ace Pledging My Love and hug the steering wheel haha...

[alesgg]

blood red or mars red?

[ChrisXCXCX]

Real 350. :| how the hell do you find parts for them.

[bcabmac]

Wow, this is sweet, I know a guy who cornered the market on the air cleaners for some of these years, this is pure thrill..

[dcpvmax]

The Golden Commando 350 is a farly rare option. Most of these cars had six-bangers or 318s in them. I think The '57-'58 Belvederes are the best looking cars ever made. I had been dreaming for years, of building a car just like this one in the video.

[TBird100636]

What kind of exhaust setup is on there???

[TBird100636]

No power brakes??? Christine had power brakes, and Christine's wheels were painted silver. Not a bad car!!!

[Buick61]

It's not a clone. And I like the "GM-look" of the wheels matching the body color.

[DRAWSONCAD]

I'd love to see/hear a dual 4 barrel drive-by. Those dual Edelbroks must sound amazing together. That much air must make it bog for a second or two...

[mitsninook]

BAD TO THE BONE

[sharpshooter2]

Buick61,I stand corrected,Thanks

[datgaypup]

Wow...i never knew there was such a close car as the Fury...Christine, she lives... FOREVER!!!!!!!!! i would gladly pay 20,000$ for that sweet beauty...

[rwmaint]

lol you'd pay $20,000 for that car? I would sell my sould to the devil for that car.

[Luzern76]

It's beautiful. Chrysler needed that dual quad to counter the 348 Tri-Power.

[terrijane61]

If you ever decide you don't want her anymore, I'll GLADLY take her off of your hands!!

[ReisinPictures]

God, I love that car)

is it 350? sounds awesome man!

[Buick61]

Yeah, it's the 350. Thanks!

[ManFromGlad2005]

More than likely, it's a 383 cu in V-8 motor with the torque flex pushbutton transmission.

[Buick61]

It's my car! I know it's a Plymouth 350 ci "Golden Commando" with the 3-speed Torqueflite.

[peter455sd]

-Poly engines got the distributor in the rear...

[jimntempe]

It should be a TorqueFlite (3 speed) if it's an automatic.

[sharpshooter2]

It's a 440 with 2 two barrel carburators,A 350 is made by Chevy....

[Buick61]

No. Chrysler Corp's big block engines debuted in 1958. Plymouth's big block that year was the 350 (with two FOUR barrel carbs). Dodge and DeSoto got a 361. The Chrysler brand stayed with the Hemi engine for this year.

[Freddymyers]

CHRISTINE!
