Nineteen-sixty was a big year for the Chrysler Corporation. To address quality issues from the 1957 Forward Look, engineers decided to go with unitized construction for all brands save Imperial. Additionally, the new styling was sleeker than before, though the corporation seemed to avoid toning down the styling, unlike many other brands in the market. As such, 1960 Chrysler Corporation products like this Plymouth are unique compared to Chevrolet and Ford.
Dressed in Sky Blue with Caribbean Blue complements on the front fenders and Sport Deck trunk ornament, this Plymouth features elegant full-length bodyside chrome, remote driver’s-side mirror, and blue convertible top.
A set of steel wheels with wheel covers is wrapped in whitewall bias-ply tires.
The interior features light blue and white vinyl upholstery accentuated by blue cloth inserts. Conveniences in this Plymouth includes power steering, AM radio, Chrysler Corporation’s famous push-button automatic transmission, and dashboard-mounted rearview mirror.
The instrument panel consists of a 120-mph speedometer, clock, and gauges indicating the fuel level and coolant temperature. The odometer reads 48,384 miles.
Powering this vehicle is the standard Plymouth V8, a 230-horsepower “wide-block” 318 known as the Fury V-800, A three-speed TorqueFlite automatic transmission delivers reliable performance.

I had a 58 belvedere as first car. Rare navy blue with white top..same engine and tranny. Loved it
Man I can see me tooling down the boulevard with the top down in this beautiful cruiser. Nothing not to like with this Fury,unless you are shy about standing out.
Grew up with a 60 Fury convertible. Had swivel seats and a clear steering wheel with glitter in it.
My family had a new 1957 Belvedere sport coupe. White top over black body with white Sport Tone stripe inside the chrome side spear. Engine was poly V8 with duals and glass packs adds by my dad along with fender skirts. My uncle had a 56 Crown Vic with 292 ci and overdrive. Dad’s Plymouth could take it in quarter mile but with od the Ford was faster on top end.
