Sorry guys, it was a 1958 Plymouth Sport Fury. I read the book and I've seen the movie quite a few times.

I know they used both a '57 and about ten different '58 Plymouth Fury's in the film. The '57 had the 318 dual-quad engine but the '58 had a (one-year-only) 350 cu. in. dual-quad set-up. All the '58 Fury's were actually beige but the one in the film is painted red and white, for effect. After all, a 'Satan car' wouldn't be beige! The interior is customized for the film, not what '58's came with. Hey; it's only a movie.

Cool film (teenage nerd gets revenge on everyone via his satanic car) and the Plymouth self-repaired! Man vs machine ending. Gotta see it.
