Yep, the '61 & '63 are my two favorites from this foursome.

GORGEOUS! Love the overall look of the '64 but enjoyed the added highway visibility from the '61's thin rear roofline!

Great Chevy show today John!  WCPD's replica's were off the wall perfect!  Sadly, in my opinion, Franklin Mint really botched their '63.  The ride height on the front fenders is way too high on them.  The roofline appears (to me) to be a little off too.  And the taillight chrome piece seems not right to scale.  I have the red one and also the silver one.  I keep them in the back row of shelf, as I feel they show well.  Continued prayers for your health John!
