The Plymouth Gran Fury was a full-sized automobile manufactured by Plymouth from 1975 to 1989. Throughout its production, the Gran Fury underwent successive downsizings in 1980 and 1982, transitioning from intermediate to compact classes while retaining rear-wheel drive layouts. By the end of M-body production in December 1988 for the 1989 model year, the Gran Fury stood as Chrysler's last rear-wheel drive cars, featuring a V8 engine and carburetor setup which had been in use since the mid-1950s. It wasn't until the 1997 Prowler roadster that Plymouth introduced another rear-wheel drive car.
