I wish I could go down to the Chrysler/Plymouth Dealer right now and buy one of these.

Arthur Godfrey died in 1983.

As for the '73 Fury, I like it, but I like the '72 even better. Personally I think the '73 Fury was a better looking car than the '73 Chrysler.

Yeah I had a 73 furyIII back in my high school days, it was brown with a tan vinyl roof, it had a 360 with a 2-barrel carb in tt. Great car, I eluded police once with it, I owned it for 13 years. These days I miss that fury.

My father bought a 73 Fury III in 1974 i was a little kid then and i remember my father driving it up to the lot, and i remember marveling at how huge it was. By the time night came, only one headlight was working and my father was pissed LOL He took care of it the next day. I remember my pops having so much trouble with the carburetor until he had it replaced. He later had the car painted brown ( it was originally gold) with a white top. He had in for 6 yrs, sold it and bought a 74 Monte Carlo

i gotta tell you, the 74 thru 77's are great too! They were so much better than Fords.....Chevys were nice riding cars too. But the Plymouth had just  bit more road feel.

When you bought a Plymouth new back then, about 20% of the assembly was done again at the dealer with so many parts falling off the car. Good ride, lightly loaded, but max out the car with 6 people and luggage and that big car ride flew out the window. The car would bound up and down, crashing against the bump stops. If you wanted a good ride fully loaded in this price range, you had to go with a Chevy.

Their target audience wasn't first yr drivers. This model was aimed at older people with more money than just the economy model, and wanted a bigger car and better ride. Older people knew this announcer. See Duster commercial for young, pretty girl. Different target.

Like today's commercials for Cadillac playing music from Led Zeppelin. The crowd that has the desire and the money for that car is old enough to remember Zep when they were young.

@monkeyboy27476 That was Arthur Godfrey, He was a famous Radio and TV personality of the day. He even acted in some movies. So he may seem like an old fart now, but this was 1973 and he was still popular.

[monkeyboy27476]

Woinder why they hired an ashmatic old fart that sounds like he couldnt give a f**k to do the presenting?

Yeah, I have a very rare car, it's a 1975 Plymouth Fury Custom, two door hard top! The condition is nearly show room quality. It's a 318, two bbl with factory AC and Power disc brakes. It gets a lot of attention, especially from black guys. lol
