Plymouth VIP

The Plymouth VIP was a full-size car of the Chrysler group brand Plymouth, offered on the North American market from 1966 to 1969. The name, which recalls Very Important Person, first appeared on a 1965 show car, a one-off open two-door Fury with a central roll bar, and stood for Very Important Plymouth or Very Interesting Plymouth depending on the source. The VIP was mechanically and visually identical to the Fury family but had better equipment and was the luxury top model of the brand. In its first three years it was sold only as a two- and four-door hardtop, with a 5.2 litre V8 of 230 SAE horsepower as standard and 6.2 and 7.2 litre V8s as options. It returned for 1969 on the new fuselage-styled Fury and was dropped at the start of the next model year.
