Hey everyone some unfortunate events in my life have led to this hiatus, I'll be changing my name to carhighlights because I cannot do this daily. I will post as often as I can and do bonus vehicles when possible, those won't have a schedule for a while.
Edit: Tumblr won't let me change my name for some reason so just roll with it

Hello everyone! I again apologize for the inaccuracy of yesterday's post.
Today's car is my personal dream car, the 1956 Plymouth Fury! This car is absolutely gorgeous my favorite color scheme being the factory cream with gold trim.
I hope you enjoy! Find the details below.
It seems that searching for reliable images of the engines for specific years of these classic cars is difficult, if anyone has any resources for that I would greatly appreciate it!

Units made and sold: 4,485 units
Company: Chrysler

Consumer opinion: the Plymouth Fury was widely considered a beautiful car and its body style was copied by many companies, it was pretty affordable for the average family and most people who drove it had a very positive opinion of the car.

Hello everyone I'm gonna go ahead and condemn today's car of the day, I clearly didn't do enough research and got so much information wrong.
I will do my best to bring you all a much more accurate car tomorrow :) thank you to everyone who messaged me with corrections!
Please don't hesitate to correct me in the future I'm still learning about the car world but it is a major interest of mine, I hope to learn so much more with y'all's help.

Hey y'all! I'm new to Tumblr but thought this would be a good place to share my knowledge and interest in cool and classic cars, my name is Oakely and please feel free to make asks with any car questions.
As for the formatting of this there will be a new post with a new car everyday, I'll list the release date, company, price then, price now, engine options, horsepower, and top speeds, if any of this isn't listed online for me to find I will make that known.
My knowledge may be wrong and I encourage you to repost my content or make asks with corrections, I will credit you with those corrections in my next post!
