I'm reluctant to post the whole article, as I don't want to damage the magazine.

It's interesting how the Plymouth Fury was largely carried over from 1957 but still managed to embarrass both the new Chevrolet Impala and the massively refreshed Ford Fairlane 500. And the Fury didn't even have a limited-slip differential!

I think it deserved more attention than it was getting, but didn't want to be obnoxious by simply typing in the word "bump" in a new post like a particular member resorts to.

OH MAN. I totally want to befriend you now. Was it the Powerflite or Torqueflite?

I like the 'Special Section: The '58 Foreign Cars' bit! Nowadays that'd over half the magazine!

It'd be cool if they'd do a '50 years later' story on the Impala, 500, and 300.
