Here's one of those 1961 Impala model that is not often seen, while not as rare as the Shadow Gray or the only SS Convertible in Arbor Green, it doesn't show up much either. I bought this one during a conversation with Brian, I was inquiring about the Shadow Gray version, which he happened to have 1 left and mentioned this color, I hadn't seen it yet, so figured, why not. Of the 4 convertibles I have, this is my least favorite but it's still something to see.

I love this color combo John, she looks classy, that's for sure. Tony, I had the '57 Olds pre-ordered,  and the '59 Impala flat top, I was seriously bummed when they got canceled. 😟

@jcarnutz 

Thanks John. I regret never getting one as the ‘61 Impala is one of my favorite Chevies.

All the WCPD Chevrolets are beauties including the featured Twilight Turquoise convertible.

Yes sir! On a level with the Mint's best and in certain cases, even better. Switchable wheels and covers and tops come to mind. They had the high-tech scissors hinges on the hoods, internal door hinges and other functional features that DM had as well.
