1965 Plymouth Fury II.
The Plymouth Sport Fury was the '65 Indy 500 pace car. Looking at that print advertisement, the '65's taillight is pictured.

I was guessing on the year. I don't know enough to tell the difference between years of the TR-3.

Fun Fact from our friends at AI: "A 1957 Triumph TR3A Roadster was driven by a member of "The Barrons" car club in the
Leave It to Beaver television episode "One of the Boys" (1962), which featured Tony Dow."

I know exactly what it is but I'll wait to give the slow people a chance to respond.

My roommate had the same year, same platform, different brand. I always liked the brand pictured better.

My roomate's was a '64 Falcon convertible with a 260 and 4 speed manual as I recall. He bought it used and the passenger door had more bondo than it did metal. Remember bondo? We had way too much fun in that car. He was my best friend from age 5. He's gone now but the amazing best-friend memories are still there, now amplified with photos of the beautiful Comet.

It's the rare 2/3 train-car.

Very correct.

[sygazelle]

What do we have here?

When I was 16, the '61 Chevy was 4 years old and I wanted to buy one. My dad talked me into getting a '61 VW instead. It was probably the right financial choice, but my craving for the '61 Chevy Impala never went away.
