Dodge Equivalent of the Plymouth Fury
The Dodge equivalent of the Plymouth Fury was the Dodge Polara/Monaco/Custom 880. In 1965, the full-size Plymouths, including the Fury, used a larger body that was shared with the Dodge Polara/Monaco/Custom 880, and Chrysler Newport.
In addition, the Dodge Phoenix in Australia was based on the Dodge Dart and the 440 until 1965, after which it became a right-hand drive version of the contemporary Fury. The Phoenix continued in production in Australia until 1972, each based on that year’s North American Plymouth Fury.
