Regarding
the "trivia contest" for the differences between California-built Sport Furys
and those built elsewhere, Bernie Brouillet writes:
Here's the
differences I know of, California built conditions listed first:
Pedals
- Horizontal texture / design, as mentioned this morning and verified
by various photos.
Cowl vent
- A bright cross-hatched screen vs. a multi row louvered design for the
rest - suggest Tom Fox be the arbiter, quite sure I've seen a photo of his cowl
in that left coast condition. Being from Oregon I'm sure that's where most of
his cars came from - he sent me pictures of his "Fury that Chrysler Forgot
to Build" many years ago, including some before shots, it was an Emerald Green
car.
Swivel Seat
release levers - they have a ribbed texture on the top surface,
slighty convex too, where the others (that I've seen) are a smooth chromed
surface, don't think they were convex either.
I'm copying Robert Hinds here,
Technical Advisor for the POC for '59, to see if he can identify any
others...
