"I have been asking around about '59 Furys in Iceland
and this is what I found out:
There have been around five '59 Furys in Iceland,
I know about two of them, license plate numbers J-150 and Y-59. J-150
was blue
with a white top (I don't know about the interior), J-150 was imported
from the States in 1960 and was in the same family till 1968. I have
not been able to find out whether it is kept somewhere today or
just gone to the junkyards, this Fury was a 318 ci/ 230 bhb/ 2 door
hardtop.
License plate Y-59 was imported from USA as a classic
car 15 years ago (I'm not sure), had 60,000 miles on it when it
came, in 1st class condition, 2 door hardtop, 318 ci 230 bhb, original
Fury colour as a '58 Fury. Later this car was used in an Icelandic movie
'Devil
Island'. It was repainted all red for this movie (it was
a shame). This Fury has the 'toilet seat' as an option,
at the moment it is in a garage in my hometown Gardabaer. I just met
the owner few days ago and he is painting it red and white as my Sport
Fury is.
My Sport Fury is the only one ever in Iceland -- license plate
number G-296."
