Hoping for some help: 1959 Plymouth Fury
-
I inherited a 1959 Plymouth Fury, but I don't have a place to keep it and don't have time to fix it up. Can you guys give me advice on how to sell it and what to expect from it? I'm not a car person, so I'm kind of lost.
It's light yellow, and my grandfather drove it the 79 miles from the dealer to his workshop, parked it indoors, and let it sit there until I inherited it a couple years ago. We moved it to a different building on a trailer. So it has 79 miles on it, every single part on it is original. No rust.
I was also told by a relative that one of the doors was a slightly different color, which indicated that it might be something special? Any idea what? -
The most likely cause for one door being slightly off color on a "new" car is that it was damaged in transit to the dealer or after arrival but prior to sale and repainted by the dealer's own body shop who simply missed the color match. Nothing "special" about that.
You are implying this is an "as new" car with no more than 79 miles since it left the dealership. If that is correct and it didn't spend its life on a damp barn dirt floor, you potentially have a valuable jewell that needs proper care to bring it back to life. You are welcome to clarify and ask further questions. Photos would be helpful. -
StillOutThere, I'll have to see about getting some photos. I currently live in Colorado, where as the Fury is in Texas, but I should still be able to get some sent to me.
But yes, it was bought new, driven home, and parked on the concrete floor of what is basically a warehouse. Short of pics, what kind of a gem are we talking?
As for the door, oh well. That does make sense, though.
Thank you for the info, I appreciate it. -
If this is for real then please post some pictures. The car might be a jewel or it might be junk, but get somebody out to look at it....
