Fury billboard

Well, it had better be "legit" or Chrysler could have sued them for the unauthorized use of copyrighted/trademarked images and such. A particular franchised dealer could have used it or a regional dealer group could have used it legally. With no particular dealer name, it most probably was a regional dealer group (however large or small it might have been).
In this case "continental" would mean "International" rather than a LIncoln (which would have meant it would have been capitalized).

It would be capitalized because it's the first word in the sentence (although I admit that isn't a hard rule in advertising). Still, a very odd verbage that shows up nowhere on Google related to advertisements, except references to these billboards. The black is far too deep for a photo taken in bright sun, although someone tried to mitigate it at the upper right corner. I've never seen a regional ad that didn't mention the regional group.
But I suppose you believe it or not. No major harm done here.

Well, if it encourages someone on here to go out and get a '68 Fury, then the advertisement still works, fake or real, one way or another...
There's a link on this page: Vintage Outdoor Billboard Advertisements, Vol. 1, it mentions the Duke University Libraries Digital Collections advertising series.
Also, the name Eller is of importance when it comes to advertising, perhaps with a little more digging someone can shed more light on this.

Are the wheel covers on the first pic correct?
I think the first one looks real but if is a fake, he is missing a opportunity. I would pay someone to make one with Goldie on it.

Of course you would. . . Poser!

The Eller advertising company still exists. It's in Arizona. Yesterday evening I sent them a comment through their webpage Contact Us form asking if these were real. I would be pleasantly surprised if I hear back from them though.

hi all,
this is just one of many i found on ebay under their collectible photos section. I assume they are all vintage photos or reprints, but i have no way to know for sure. I may have posted it before, can't recall. thanks.

Yes, they are correct. As are the ones in the '68 picture.
Only thing on the '68 is the "lowered ride height" in the image, which is not uncommon in many cases, especially in the mid-50s, as is the slightly incorrect proportions of the car. Shorter cars get to be longer and more impressive, by observation. Longer cars get to be longer, too.
