Question
Hello Mr. Bahm

I have a 1966 Plymouth Fury with 34,500 original miles on it. All the pictures I see of this year has a front bumper on them that is just a bumper . On mine it has from the factory a like smaller bumper pad in the middle of the main bumper. Is this a deluxe item on it or am I looking at a different year. Thanks for your time . I don't know the value of this car either . Can you help me with this. Mark

Answer
I can't help  you with the bumper, but somewhere about that time, the bumper standard came in.  The center pad could be an addition to pass the test.  Not sure, but not a big deal anyway.  Go to the walter p chrysler club site and see if they can help you.

Also, look around for a chrysler or plymouth car club and join it if it is near you.  They will be a big help and you will have a lot more fun with your car.

What a great car to have.
Good luck
