Promolite 2000 '61 Plymouth Fury Hardtop

[Chuck Most]

A shame this one's no longer in production, but I still love it! The legendary '61 Plymouth... the only car designed to look like it dead-centered a pole on its way off the assemlby line! Casting quality is fantastic, chrome is nice, and there's way less flash and than the Jo-Han kit upon which its based, and no mold separation lines!

Great looking kit.

I like the way they did the chassis so you can add a motor.

Tom Coolidge's PromoLite 2000 castings are nothing short of spectacular!!!

The '61 Plymouths were described by the wags as the "Praying Mantis Face" . It looks to be an excellent casting . Thanx ..

Or "The Bug That Ate Tokyo"! I hear the Canadian Dodges wore a similar grin up front.

Now mine's set up on some Firestone wide ovals and AMT Torq Thrusts... yeah, I'm liking where this is going.

Modelhaus also sells a '61 Fury resin kit. I haven't seen it but I have to think that the quality would be excellent.

Of the total '61 lineup from the Big Three, that's got to be the strangest one of all! In a cool kinda way though looking back!

Anyone ever notice the tiny dorsal fin right down the middle of the trunk lid on Fury's??

I always loved that car just for it's uniqueness.

Tiny? TINY???? The thing's gigantic! Well, as far as trunk-mounted dorsal fins go! It's quite a prominent part of the design, for sure. And one of my favorite styling bits on the car.
