    Beautiful restoration work. My mom had a '59 Plymouth Belvedere. I find it amazing and ironic that Stephen King can dream up a story, put it on paper, then a movie is made... and the long forgotten, much maligned '58 Plymouth Fury comes out of the dead zone of lost car history to take on cult status. '58 Plymouths are more desirable and popular much more now than they were back in 58 or 59, thanks to the very strange mind of Stephen King and the amazing power of movies. Your Plymouth is really nice and it is great to see a 58 back in top condition. You are an artist.

      Charles Butler even more ironic that Stephen King, usually very detail oriented, got Christine all wrong in the book. In the book Christine was a four door, even though the Fury was not offered as a four door, or for that matter in any other color than a ivory white. There were no red 58 Plymouth Furies. He also got the engine wrong, the transmission, and the shifter. He described Christine's engine as a 318, which would've been instead of the one year only 350 V-8. He described her transmission as a Hydra-Matic, which was used in some GM cars, but never in a Plymouth. He should've written Torque Flite. He described the gear lever moving itself in to drive, when all Chrysler Corp. automatic cars in 1958 (actually 55-64) had a push button shifter. When they went to make the movie, Christine was made in to a two-door, but the studio used Belvederes with Fury trim, since even in the early 80's a real Fury was a little bit collectible.

      @@calvinhandley2373 The '58 Fury was never painted red. The Fury was beige with gold trim. Belvedere was available in red. Some Furys had swivel front seats. Fury was a limited production model. It is interesting how then they had Plaza, Savoy, Belvedere and Fury on the same body shell. They got a lot of attention when new, but were prone to rust. Not many survived to the 1970s.

      @@calvinhandley2373 Like the very first scene in the movie, all of these decisions were made by the director. King's decision for red was the fact, (From the book.) that she needed blood to regenerate. And therefore that was her color. Also from Tim Keith. over one hundred cars were used and ?17? of them survived the making of the movie. Since they were already red, they didn't need to be repainted for the movie. And since they weren't the Fury, they were also cheaper, which was easier on the budget to make the movie.

There is nothing like the feeling you get when you stand back and take those final pictures. then get behind the wheel and feel how the car drove when brand new. A truly great job done here. Congratulations on the whole job and more to the point keeping the originality as well.
