I like Venice Blue Poly with a lighter blue interior. Arctic White with a red interior would be good too. Actually, just about any color will work.

Will this '61 Buick be in addition to the '62 Electra you were developing?

Very excited about a 1961 Buick. However, the interior indicates an Electra series car, and (PIC)

the Electra 2-door hardtops had the more squared-off roofline like the '61 Ninety Eight and '61 Cadillac Coupe DeVille.

Here's an example:

What happened here? The first prototype shown months ago had the correct Electra roofline.

The roof on the car shown in these pics is completely wrong for an Electra. Yet it still has four ventiports. Is a Leabre two door hardtop being developed along with or instead of the Electra?

Sergio, if you take my advice, the best color combinations for the 1961 Buick Electra 225 Hardtop top model would be: 1. Dublin Green/Kerby Green (roof) 2. Desert Fawn met./Phoenix Beige
3. Laguna Blue met./Newport Silver met.

Dear David Crowe, the photos I published previously are from the 1962 Buick Electra.

This is a 1961 Buick, which is completely different to the 1962.photo no longer available
