This truly is a classic car. The Plymouth Fury, 1958 model, was the car used in the horror film, Christine (released in 1983). The film was based on the Stephen King novel of the same title. The Plymouth Fury was made by the Plymouth division of Chrysler Corporation between 1956 and 1978. Actually, 2 other Plymouth models, the Plymouth Belvedere and the Plymouth Savoy were used to portray the evil car in Christene. Only 3, 018 1958 Plymouth Fury’s were produced. No Fury models were actually destroyed in Christene. The Plymouth Savoy and Plymouth Belvedere models were dressed up to look like the Plymouth Fury and were destroyed in the making of Christene. In the novel, Stephen King made some factual errors. Christine is referred to as a 4-door, but the Plymouth Fury was only available in a 2-door model until 1959. Stephen King called Christine’s transmission a hydramatic in the novel (made by General Motors transmission). The Chrysler Corporation actually called their transmissions the Torque Flite. Stephen King also refers to the transmission shifter, but all 1958 Chrysler cars were fitted with automatic transmissions and used a push-button drive. The author did refer to the car as a “special order”, so that could explain the inconsistencies.
