You need to tell us more about this build. Did you photograph the steps you took in building this model? What you use as your inspiration? I'm assuming since we rarely see '72 Plymouth Furys in their country of origin any more, there can't be many running around Poland? Just telling us you built this from scratch isn't enough. I wish to know more.

I always like the looks of '72 Fury Gran Coupes, Gran Sedans, and the Fury III hardtops. Had neighbor who worked for the State of Minnesota back in the day, and was given a '72 Fury I sedan to drive. I loved the big double looped front bumper of that year only. So you need to tell, at least for me, more about this model and your ideas and inspiration.

Oh by the way, relooking at your photos. You modeled what was called a Fury Gran Sedan. Not a Fury III. Only the Fury Gran Sedan, Fury Gran Coupes, and Fury Sport Subruban carried hidden headlamps in 1972. Fury I, Fury II, Fury III, Suburbans, and Custom Suburbans had exposed headlights. Despite the '72 Fury Gran Sedan being called a "Sedan" it was really a 4-door hardtop like your model. The Fury Gran Coupes were likewise 2-door hardtops. Why they called them Gran "Sedans" and Gran "Coupes" since they're really hardtops is beyond me. For '72 the Fury Gran series basically replaced the Fury Sport series from the year before. To confuse matters even more, in 1975 all full-size Furys were now called Gran Furys, and were available in both hardtops, sedans, and Suburbans (wagons). And the redesigned Satellites now carried the Fury name.

Anyway, again a very nice model. But, sorry to say it is not a Fury III. It's the more prestigious Fury Gran Sedan 4-door hardtop (Plymouth model PP43).
