. She was born on a assembly line in Detroit in 1957. Deep with in her chassis and optioned equipment lives an unholy presence that is undestructable. The undestructable vegenance inside Christine will destroy any outsiders who dare to interfer or get's in her way. My friends meet Christine.

She is a Cherry Red and Ivory white 1958 Plymouth Fury Sport Coupe. Christine is no lady, she is Stephen Kings queen of darkness.

Even on the assembly line, one person get's wounded and one of the car inspectors dies from dropping a cigar ash on her brand new uppholsered seat.

She was special orderd by a man of Roland D. Le Bay who himself was a very mean and unruly man ever since the child hood. They say that bad feelings can linger on and Christine and him were a perfect match, until one of them passes on, of which Lebays wife and daughter both choked to death in Christine. Roland Lebay eventually dies the same way by his own wishing. Or was it to be for him and Christine to be togather for eternity.

By September 1978, a High School nerd happens to spot Christine, of which has basically turned into a basket-case of a vehicle sitting in George LeBays backyard, who is Roland D. LeBays brother. His name is Arnie Cunningham. He is seduced by her chrome laden body and low sweeping foward look. Arnie at first is not aware of the demons inside Christine nor of the past that she had made for herself.

During the next few months, Christine begins to take shape, and by the 3rd month, Christine is 100% brand new, and her odometer shows the same, because basically Christine is basically going back in time every time she is moving, mile by mile, as the odometer reads backwards, Christine is getting younger and younger. She uses this to her advantage.

Arnies best friends Dennis Guilder and Leigh Cabot don't like her from the start. They could sense something that was not right with the car right from the start. Before Arnie took Christine home, Denis sat inside of her and basically was taken over by a force or transe of some sort. Inside there was a smell, a stomach renching, of something rotting, like rotting turnips or a rotten egg mixture. The smell was eventually thought as the smell of death.

Leigh and Christine also have their match as well. Leigh almost chokes on a Mc.Donalds hamburger. Leigh claims Christine caused her to choke on the hamburger because the interior lights came on to a blinding brightness and the turnsignal lights turned into green glowing devilish cats eyes with slats of pure hatred and evil. The bottom curvature of the speedometer housing looked like a evil grin of sphinx. Leigh survived the choking incident, but right then she new that Christine was alive.

As the movie goes on, Christine takes over Arnie's mind, by the end of the movie Arnie is no longer the Arnie that everone remembers, but a cold mad young man and totally possesed by Christine's demons, one of which mentioned by Stephen King is Roland D. LeBay, his wife, daughter, the teenage hoodlums, Will Darnell, Arnies parents, and the previous unfortunate people who were destroyed by Christines rath.

Christine is supposed to protray a 1958 Plymouth Fury 2-door sport couple. Although the supply of original Plymouth Fury's in the 58' sport model, were very slim. So production engineers for Carpenter took 2 door 58' Plymouth Belvedere's, Savoy's, Suburbans, and Plaza's and converted them into Fury look-alikes.

Plymouth never offered red in any Plymouth model in the 58' model year, nor the interior in Christine was a correct design. The only color the 58' Fury was available in was the Buckskin Beige color, and of course the most apparent thing that was most noticeable was the missing Gold Anodized grille and side stripe trim. The 350 dual carter 4bbl. V-8 was a option in both the Fury and Belvedere models, although the engine that was shown in the "SHOW ME" scene was dressed up with chrome dressup parts. In that dash department 150 mph speedometer was standard in the Fury and optional in the Belvedere.

Basically there were only 3 really good shape 58' Plymouths used through out the movie. Others were the basket case in the backyard of LeBays scene, and others were parts and chopped pieces to make up to parts for the other Christine cars.

In order to make the car reassemble itself in the "SHOW ME" scene an exact replica or model was molded out of rubber like balloon and wrapped in sheetmetal. In order to show the car reassemble itself, this special model used a vaccuum to reinflate it and it was shot in a slow time elapse filming.

When the glass in in the mirror redoes it'self, the mirror is basically already in mint condition, they use a small airbrush paint compressor and blow small flaklets of confetti to make it look like glass.

The interior basically was a balloon stitched and upholsterd with the same interior material. When inflated it looklike the car was reassembling the interior.

The 3 great condition cars of which 2 were sold at auction and Carpenter owns the third.

There was about $300,000 spent on buying up cars and converting them to Fury look-alikes.
