Here are some pics of my wife's '64 Fury:
I would like to paint the car and do the interior the same as my '63 Pink Fury, but my wife wants to paint the '64 a corral / peach color.
I was also thinking maybe a light blue UU1 code (a 1968 Barracuda color).

IF THE CAR IS TRULY FOR YOUR WIFE, THEN YOU SHOULD PAINT IT THE COLOR SHE WANTS, RIGHT? 11/5/00 1:57:15 PM
I would paint it black cherry red like the newer Chrysler color w/burgundy cloth interior 11/5/00 10:42:21 AM
Forgot too add my choice: White, of course or possibly a light metallic. 11/4/00 1:03:22 PM
My opinion is that the beauty of these cars is best served by allowing the unique styling to take precedence. Too dominant a color hides detail. 11/4/00 2:00:10 PM
why not a custom paint with all the above colors included strips etc. 11/4/00 7:12:52 AM
I envision that 1964 as a blue car.......the vibe feels right 11/4/00 7:26:30 AM
Black is nice but need a lot of care... I will go with RED ext. red interior. From a black car owner!! Good luck. 11/4/00 5:16:12 AM

Jeez, Larry, your wife sure is a lucky woman!
It looks like you are doing a great restoration of the Fury. :-)
Keep us posted, please.
UPDATE: In the end Larry's first color choice instinct prevailed!
See the finished car!
