Yet another false rumor. . .I'm sure someone over the years as retrofitted a '57 Fury or two with a Hemi, but it was NOT done at the factory. Perhaps even some dealers would swap out an engine for enough $$, but, like the INfamous Ricky Nelson black Fury convert, this just didn't happen at the factory. . . Do any other of the Forward Look cars have these outrageous stories of "factory" one-offs, and mysterious "disappearing" weird cars supposedly done at the factory, or is it just the '57 Fury??? I never hear about the supposed Elvis purple '58 Adventurer convert from the factory, or the "factory" '55 C300 pink convert with 413 cross rams, it's always the '57 Fury that these rumors seem to target. Maybe it's just me. . . . Mark mjh '57 Fury (a REAL one) in OR Subject: Re: [FWDLK] 57 Plymouth hemi?? > I heard it rumoured many years ago that Chrysler actually fitted a couple 57 > Furys with 392 hemis and even named them "Hemi Commandoes".
