Description
Immediate post-war designs of most cars, from any manufacturer, had more than a hint of their pre-war brethren and Plymouth was no exception. By 1950 new developments were being made. Although functional they were comfortable. Few changes were made until 1953 which bought a complete re-design. Still in the low-price band there were a few criticisms regarding the standard of workmanship on interior fittings. The engine was little altered, no automatic transmission as yet, but good ride, handling and durability counted for a lot. By 1957 the Plymouth Fury was being described as an enthusiasts car, a V8 engine makes an enormous difference, and Torsion-Aire Ride was introduced. The changes made this year were to hold for some while with some engine upgrades. This is a book of contemporary road and comparison tests, specification and technical data, new model intros, drivers reports & track tests. Models covered: Cambridge, Cranbrook, Suburban Station Wagon, Explorer, Belvedere, Sport Coupe, V8, Plaza, Fury & Savoy.
