The Blood of CHRISTINE

This 1958 Plymouth has been created as the ultimate Christine tribute

- John Machaqueiro

What’s not to love about an automobile that fixes itself and can dispense some justice to your enemies? If that brings a specific car to mind, then you’re probably thinking about the demonic 1958 Plymouth Fury used in Christine, John Carpenter’s cult-classic horror movie based on the Stephen King novel of the same name. While King’s novel was a huge success, the movie didn’t get the same kind of love. It opened on December 9, 1983, to lackluster reviews and poor attendance at the box office. It has gone on to be one of the most iconic horror and car films ever produced, however. Cast with relatively unknown actors, and what King described as a “forgotten car,” it cemented the 1958 Plymouth Fury forever on the automotive landscape with a huge worldwide following. As a result of the popularity of the film, it has spawned many Christine clones, yet only a handful can lay claim to actually being used in the movie.
