Car with an evil mind

We all love horror movies, or do we?! Well, I for one absolutely love horror movies. I recently just watched Annabelle although not as good as The Conjuring it still inspired me to do a post on a haunted car. Wait whaaaaat? Haunted car? Yes! The following post will be about the 1958 Plymouth Fury which was seen the 80’s horror classic Christine – “Hell hath no Fury … like a 1958 Plymouth” (1983).


Firstly, what is Christine about? Christine is basically about a nerdish boy who buys a strange car with an evil mind, seductive, passionate and possessive Christine mows down and kills anyone who torment her owner, the dorky Arnie Cunningham. Christine also possesses the power of regeneration, allowing her to repair any damage sustained in her independent rampages – once she lures you behind her wheel… you’re all hers. So how do you kill someone that can’t possibly be alive or is it still roaming around the streets somewhere looking for another owner to seduce? Pffft, sounds like another fake story – I hope so anyway!

Well, the movie may or may not be fake but the car is all real! The Plymouth Fury was produced by the Plymouth Division. A sporty, premium-priced model just like its character in the movie it was a seducer and it was seducing customers in large numbers. The ’58 Fury was a limited-edition Buckskin beige two-door hardtop with a “Sport Tone” mouldings; bumper wing guards; padded interior; front and rear foam seats; back-up lights; dual outside rear-view mirrors and special Dual Fury or Golden Commando V-8.

With a $3032 base price, the 1958 Fury was one of the most expensive Plymouth, however it paid off as it holds record for one of the biggest revenues in the Plymouth Division. Its starring role in “Christine” helped to make the ’58 Fury a cult favourite among car collectors. Due to recession leading to low production of just 5,303, its values remains high to this day due to its “celebrity” status. So, if you had the money, would you own this seductive, passionate and possessive evil vehicle?
