    If your not going to tell anybody where it is, then why bring it up?
     
  13. Looks like a '58 Plymouth 4-door sedan to me. No way it could be a Fury. I junked a '57 Belvy 2dr hardtop a while back when I couldn't find any interest in it.

    I still have one of those Bear tire scuff gauges. We used it up into the 80's. at the gas station. Dad was one of the first Bear alinement shops in the area in 1959 1960ish. Had the whole setup with a drive on pit rack. The scuff gauges are very accurate for toe in/out. The deck rusted out from good old NY salt and we patched it up a few times. I remember flipping that thing over a couple times a year to keep the slides greased up on the underside. Heavy as Hell. I still have a 1959 Bear dynamic wheel balancer too. Works good for the old steelies I run.
