Plymouth hit the nail on the head with the look of this car, such a time less car

[zaphodsrealm]

"You can't polish a turd" "new wipers, on a busted windshield".
Thank you so much! I own a '58 Belvedere. Closest I'm gonna get to a fury lol. Nice job.

Why did Buddy run down the middle of the road, allowing Christine to mow him down?, and why was he still at high school at around 25 years old?

Christine was just pure bad ass! One of my favorite movies ever!!

[Jameskenomis]

I wish cars were still made with this much quality and beauty.

[FitzArias]

Love how angry Christine looked while on fire. Buddy forgot the wise Chinese proverb that "man who runs in front of car soon gets tired."

[MrZlodeus]

Fun fact: the letters on Christine's licence plate - CQB - are an acronym standing for "close-quarters battle" - and Christine engaged in plenty of that!

They produced some beautiful cars in the 50's what a decade fins, chrome and glossy paint.

Even without the Christine connection, a 58 Fury, and really any Forward Look Mopar, is an awesome car. I think I read that King wanted a more unusual car than a 57 Chevy or Ford, so the Fury fit the bill. Although I loved the movie and esp the book, a little bit of me died each time one of the real-life cars were destroyed in the movie

[Fishseaofcortez]

I worked at a Ford dealer and one of the salesmen had a '58 Fury. They wanted his vehicle for the movie but when he found out they were going to paint it red, he said "no." He sold and bought back his car three times. The last time I saw him, he still had his car. It had the engine with the dual quad set up. It was a pretty clean machine. Bill was quite the Mopar guy. He had an early 60s Chrysler 300 which was very clean, wound up selling it at Barrett Jackson for six figures.

Is it me or does Buddy Reperton look like the love child of John Travolta and Jim Morrison?

[ronaldmiller]

CARSTARSSS, Z.. WOW!! ITS YOUR VIDEO AND WE ARE WATCHING AGAIN !! SITTING BACK AND RELAXING, ,GREAT MOVIE .. AND GREAT INFO. AGAIN.. THX...

[bigdaddy]

One thing that differed between the movie and the book, was that in the book, Christine was a 4 door.

[justinsanders]

One of my all-time favorite movies, not to mention the amazing soundtrack. Thank you for all the work that went into this video. With the Halloween theme top notch, my friend 👌

[iNeverHadMercy]

5:52 damn hate that most of the movie-sourced Christines are gone. She is by far the Most Iconic Screen Car. SPOILER ALERT: seeing that the very last scene in the junkyard showed that she is "still alive", it would be epic if we get a sequel 🕥🎥

[Mister_Ess]

I have 3 Christine model cars. A 1/64 hot wheels, a 1/64 scale Johnny Lightning with Buddy Reperton's camaro and a large scale greenlight model.

I also have a 1/64 scale greenlight Fury in buckskin beige with gold anodized trim AND a 1/64 scale hotwheels fury with an Avengers paint scheme.

Needless to say, I've collected quite a few of these cars.

[andrewdrabble]

I've got that 1:18 scale Christine and it is a lovely model. I once tried taking her apart to clean her and she would not let me take her chassis out from her body lol

[thomasrodriguez]

The effects back in the 70s through the early 90s were fantastic. There is too much cgi used now a days, and it can look even more fake than back in the days. It's one of Steven Kings' great movies. As always, your insights are greatly appreciated.
