UFOs (Unidentified Finned Objects)

Post by Faulkner »

Matthew brings up an interesting point: the owner of what was formerly Ron Swartley's SF (http://www.59sportfury.net/showcase/swartley.html) is not known. Although Arnold Poteet's SF is now owned by Jack Bitterman (http://www.59sportfury.net/showcase/bitterman.html), we still don't know who owns what used to be Russ Housen's Fire Chief Wagon (http://www.59sportfury.net/showcase/housenII.html). Anybody know the whereabouts of these cars? Did I miss any others in the Showcase?

By the look of the taillight housings, this appears to have been a Suburban

Good eyes, you guys! Also, a bad taillight... 8^)

Hmmm... My browser's not showing the pix. I've uploaded them to our site, so we can display from here...

I just found this at Jim Haprian's site. Looks like this Fury was tranformed in a Conv. Or a Belvy Conv was tranformed to a Fury Conv!

I don't keep track of such things, but George Dalinis of Illinois told a story to WPC magazine some years ago..he built a black Fury convertible. If I remember correctly, it is a Belvedere convertible trimmed as a Fury. I think he hauled the cvt out of a salvage yard, estored it, and chose to dress it as a Fury, knowing that Fury wasnt available as a cvt in 59.
