7. Plymouth Fury III Station Wagon

Mon Nov 4, 2024, 03:01 PM

Nov 4

My parents handed me down their 1965 Plymouth Fury station wagon when I was still in high school. I believe mine had the 383 engine. It was an absolute beast! Great beach wagon for here in Pensacola Beach and also came in handy for the drive-in theater. LOL. I also recall schlepping a bunch of guys from my high school baseball team to nearby towns when we didn't have a bus available. Some of the guys teased me for driving a station wagon but they stopped laughing when they saw how fast and powerful the damn thing was. I loved it. And just like you, a lot of firsts and great memories in that car
