Plymouth needed a beautiful icon, and it came with a pair of tail fins, 303-hp V8, chrome grill, gold accents and a sleek, angular body: the Plymouth Fury.

Debuting in 1956, the Fury ploughed into showrooms per consumer requests for an affordable and cultured vehicle. First available as a white-and-gold limited edition hardtop coupe, costing $2,866, the inaugural Fury could reach 110 mph in stock condition; a modified version blasted to 149 mph at Daytona Beach. The Fury was off to a fast start.

Plymouth decided to retain its "limited edition" concept and by the 1960 redesign, the Fury was available in a profusion of engine choices, ranging from the original 318 to the 145-hp Slant Six to the 330-hp 383. Construction was changed to a unibody frame. Several more trims, including the limited edition Turbo and Sport Fury, arrived over the next years as the Fury grew to a hefty $3,000.

Plymouth relabeled the Fury after the third generation arrival in 1965: the Fury I, II and III. The Fury I was popular with budget-conscious customers and police departments, while the II and II offered more creature comforts and styling. Furies also grew to a C-body (full-size) and featured five engine options. The grill underwent a transformation, losing chrome accents but gaining vertically stacked headlamps. By 1968, twenty-seven different configurations were available.

In 1966, the Plymouth VIP ("Very Important Plymouth") debuted as an alternative to traditional Chrysler chic. Equipped with deep pile carpet, reading lamps, plastic walnut trim, a vinyl roof and other implements, the Fury VIP also offered a 318 V8 power plant. Despite its high level of sophistication, the VIP could not get a constituency, and faded from the Plymouth lineup in 1969.

The fourth generation, labeled as "completely new," debuted in 1969. It was long, streamlined and uncluttered; it featured wide reclining benches, a cornucopia of engine choices and was available in coupe, sedan, convertible and station wagon body styles. It was more understated than its ancestors.

1971, a moment of historic sadness arrived when the 426 Hemi departed from the Fury lineup. But one year later, the new Gran Fury revived past pugnacity with its powerful V8, voluptuous styling and luxurious features. Amenities included electronic ignition, inside hood release and improved radio reception. In lieu of increased emission regulations, the Gran Fury was slightly domesticated by exhaust gas recirculation, evaporation control system and a lower octane rating. This was a new Fury, one that would last - in name if not in prowess - until 1989.

1975 brought the advent of the fifth-generation Fury and the diminishing of the Fury heritage. The Fury was downsized to a B-body platform and essentially became a restyled Plymouth Belvedere, lauded for its ergonomics and fuel efficiency. The Fury name was applied to a bundle of middling automobiles, while the Gran Fury struggled to retain its ancestry of power and performance.

After a one-year hiatus in 1979, the Fury name was brought back as a rebadged Chrysler Newport, which failed dismally. In 1982, the Fury heritage was again rejuvenated with a rebadged Dodge Diplomat, a favorite with taxi drivers and policemen but not consumers.

The Fury has lost its ferocity, replaced by a meek, mild and minute vehicle. Forty years later, its original 149-mph barrier hasn't been much improved.

Dodge; An American Tradition

Dodge was founded in 1914 and is based out of Auburn Hills, Michigan. Dodge manufactures trucks, commercial vehicles, passenger vehicles, muscle cars, SUVs, pick up trucks and sports cars. Dodge is manufactured in over 60 countries worldwide. The company was originally founded in 1900 by the Dodge brothers as the Dodge Brothers Company to supply parts to the growing automotive industry in Michigan. Dodge did not begin manufacturing their own vehicles until 1914. Dodge became a part of the Chrysler Corporation in 1928, was part of the DaimlerChrysler merger from 1998-2007 and is now part of the new Chrysler LLC.

Horace and John Dodge were the brothers responsible for the founding of the Dodge Company in 1900. Their business produced chassis and engines for the growing automotive market in the Michigan area before they released their first vehicle in 1914. Their first model was the Dodge Model 30, somewhat of a takeoff from the Ford Model T. Dodge, like many other vehicle manufacturers within the country, produced models for military use. The first time that Dodge's vehicles were used by the United States military was when the United States sent troops into Mexico on the Mexican Expedition which was in search of Pancho Villa.

Dodge, prior to the war years in the United States, produced many luxury liner models such as the D11 4-door sedan. In the 1950s and 1960s Dodge began producing more and more coupes and sedans. A couple of their models were the Dodge Coronet 440 sedan of 1966 and the 1977 Dodge Diplomat sedan. Once Dodge became part of the DaimlerChrysler merger in 1998, their design and success took off at an even higher level.

Once the merger took place the company began reworking the designs of many of its successful models to make them more attractive to the customer. Those models that Dodge redesigned were the Intrepid, the Stratus and the Neon.

Aside from their passenger vehicles, Dodge has become widely popular with their pick up trucks, SUVs, commercial vehicles and vans. Their pick up trucks have become the backbone of the company and are most known for their durable pick ups. Dodge's first civilian pick up truck was the Power Wagon, which was released shortly after the conclusion of World War II. The Dodge Dakota and the Dodge Ram are two of their most popular pick up trucks on the market today.

Throughout their history, Dodge has gone through a handful of name changes, which means they have also gone through a handful of logo changes. Their first logo was a circular emblem with the letters D and B intertwined for Dodge Brothers. The logo Dodge used until the mid 1990s was the pent-a-star, which is a pentagon with its five points and a star in the middle. Their current logo is the Dodge Ram head. It appears on all of their models except for the Dodge Viper. The ram head is also part of the company's slogan which is, "Grab life by the horns."
