C-Body Wheel and Tire Survey

Found this in one of those "curbside classics" blogs -- folks looking for classic cars on the roads then documenting them. this guy was actually IN LOVE with fusies.

anyway he said the 71 Fury was on his bucket list, and he spotted this just out and about living his daily life .. on the street in his home town near "Bahstun" .. and stumbled onto this one. this was in 2013 and he wrote a real nice piece.

Though this doesnt really belong here (I have seen it kicked around here in another thread but i searched and couldn't find it), its a Chrysler promo piece for the 71 Furys. Interesting cuz it shows/describes original cars obviously

Not a factory "woody" right? ... but thought it might be interesting to put here for the overall style choices made. apparently this "woody" was painted on vs the decal type. I think these are the same car ...?

I correct myself .. there were woodys in 67-68 but not exactly like the blue car;s earlier style design.

matt, do you know if more pics of it are here?

There are but I wouldn't know what search terms to use to find them and I don't know a member name. I remember a pic of this car next to a smart car among others.

 

[detmatt]

sorry .. don't know the significance of that name.

Nitoh is one of our German brothers and owns both the wagon and the Imp vert.

 

[detmatt]

That was easier than I thought...

Did I miss it, or was there no picture of the Pimperial yet?

Will the "real Imp" please stand up? Still a very nice car.

I remember him doing some photoshop type enhancements to it so I don't really know the current condition of the car but I found his profile and grabbed these pics. You might do some digging yourself if you want, he goes by Wile E. Coyote.

Not a wheel, just a wheel cover. I can't say that I have ever seen any, but i can't say that I haven't either.
