Autoworld's re-release did away with those silly rear, non-stock whitewall slicks; the model looks much better with 4 matching tires.... this gray color is pretty cool too. 😎
Actually, the supposedly "silly" rear tires don't bother me in the least. Also, the apparently "non-stock" tire option can be a matter of opinion, so, ... oh well.

Oh Wow ! That color combo is terrific. I want one !!!! Did Auto world make the trunk open or did you do it Chris ?

I've always loved the '61 Impala however the '61 Pontiac puts the Impala to shame, at least IMO.

HA! Good question.... LoL
Actually, all versions of Ertl's/Autoworld's 1/18 1961 Pontiacs have trunks that open (I own all versions ). I didn't have to do anything. 😏 😀 I have considered, especially on this gray release, doing away with those "dog-legs" and fabricating aspect door hinges. The bones of this model are very good, but it's oversimplified in many areas.
It's such a good looking car; it deserves better detail.
