I was out for the past several days experimenting with S, A, & M modes on my new D7200. The below images are nothing special and are very far from being good photographs, but I found them interesting. I have only very lightly edited a few of the images.

I remember the Firego gas station on US Route 301 in Stony Creek when I was a very young teenager back in the early '60's. It was the only gas station around for some distance. The owner was a not a very pleasant person, very grumpy. I-95 had not been completed in this area and Rt 301 was the main highway. The road closest to the building was the South bound lane of Rt 301 and the road to the left of it was the North bound lane, and is now the South bound lane of I-95. Now there is a very large truck plaza about 1/4 mile down the road from this old car next to I-95.

The old farm home is just one of many in this rural area that have been left to neglect. Active farming has been less and less for the last decade or so. There are a number of active farms in the area, but they are only a few compared to what once was. Old dilapidated farm buildings are one of my favorite subjects.

The car sets in the woods about 30 to 40 yards off of the road. When I first noticed it I thought it to possibly be a '57 Chevy because of the tail fins. When I went down to it I saw that it wasn't. I think that it may be either a Desota or Chrysler. I could not find any identifying information, or names on it. Does anyone know what it is?

The Nandina & holly berries just caught my eye because of the vibrant color during these dark, rainy days here in SE VA. Enjoy. Comments and constructive criticism are welcomed.

Nice series Fox - I don't think Desota had such high fins maybe Plymouth - I would say 55 to 61 era, had a 56 Coronet nothing like this. Thanks for sharing.

Your mystery car is a 1958 Plymouth Savoy. Enjoyed your pics.

Fury.

It's Plymouth Fury 111

The 1958 was available only in the color shown, Buckstone Beige. The Fury 111 was released in 1965.

1958 Plymouth. They made Belvedere, Savoy and Plazas. My dad had a used car lot and several of these things showed u[ there. At 3-4 years old they were selling for $100 and no one wanted one. Bad suspension (ride, handling). Used lots of oil.

The Fury ...1955 to 1989. It was introduced for the 1956 model year as a sub-series of the Plymouth Belvedere, becoming a separate series one level above the contemporary Belvedere for 1959.

'58 Plymouth Fury did not have the solid window pillars as is shown on these pics posted. The Fury models were hardtops w/out pillars. The Belvedere and Savoy did have them. Despite the rusted condition of the pictured car and missing identifying markers, the trim line seems to nod toward the Savoy.

I think you are right on the Savoy. And the grill points toward the '55 as I remember it lo those many years ago. Lots of blue ones, and some reds.

Looking more and more like a Savoy 4-door sedan!

Been fun!

OK, it seems like the mystery car is a 1958 Plymouth Savoy, correct? I want to thank all for you comments and help in identifying this "mystery car". The bird like white area where possibly a makers name plae may have been sort of drew me away from the Plymouth ID. Oh well, I know where there is some old farm machinery lying up in the woods rusting away are located. Suns out today, so gotta get rollin' If anyone else has any ideas as to another make or model of this car,, please chime in with your thoughts/opinions.
