The Fury began for 1956 as a limited, high-performance sub-series of the Belvedere — a powerful, distinctively trimmed halo coupe. It became a separate full-size series for 1959, and from the mid-1960s the Fury name (Fury I/II/III) anchored Plymouth's mainstream full-size range.
Across the 1960s and 70s the Fury appeared on multiple platforms, including a mid-size B-body stint in the early 1960s and the big C-body full-size cars from 1965; performance flagships wore the 'Sport Fury' name. The Fury line was hugely important to Plymouth's volume.
A 1958 Plymouth Fury is the titular killer car of Stephen King's 1983 novel Christine and its film adaptation — cementing the nameplate in pop culture. (Because the 1958 Fury wasn't offered in red, Belvederes stood in for filming.) The Fury name ran through 1978, after which the full-size role passed to the Gran Fury.
