"70's car in a nice usable condition."

Description

We don't know much about this car. However, it arrived in Sweden in 2008, likely from Washington in the USA. Locally, it has had five owners. An uncommon car here in Sweden with a special vinyl roof, the Plymouth Fury Gran Coupe. What really made it stand out was the daring paisley patterned vinyl roof known as the "Paisley Pattern top". The Gran Coupe model was introduced in the middle of the 1970 model year to fill a gap in Plymouth's model lineup, and it did so in a decidedly eye-catching manner.

In an era where fashion and trends were often reflected in cars, this paisley patterned vinyl roof was a bold addition. Previous attempts had been made with similar concepts, such as the large-flowered "Mod Top," but it was a flop. Despite this, the idea was not abandoned, and the paisley pattern, limited to the Gran Coupe model and only available in a brown color, was launched instead.

It is difficult to determine exactly how many cars received this unique vinyl roof since the Gran Coupe was part of the Fury II group. But despite its initially controversial design, the paisley patterned roof continued even for the 1971 model year. The following year, the Fury Gran Coupe became its own series, without the extravagant roof, and in 1973, the model name was simplified to Gran Fury.

Plymouth's full-size model series, Fury, was somewhat chaotic in 1970 with seven different series to choose from. However, the Gran Coupe was an oddity, available only as a two-door coupe with a post, which was unusual for the time. Unfortunately, there are no exact figures on how many of these cars were produced or how many actually had the paisley patterned vinyl roof.

The Plymouth Fury Gran Coupe was based on Chrysler's large C-body chassis from 1969 to 1977, known as "Fuselage". With its curved sides and impressive size of 571 cm from front to back, it truly made an impression on the roads. And for those who dared, the pattern that adorned the roof was also reflected in the car's interior, giving it an extra touch of unique style.
