I remembered incorrectly. You showed a 1961 Olds 98 two door hardtop, not a 1961 Electra.

So please accept my apology for my error.

One side has four vents and one only three (but a hole where a fourth should be)

Check the sample for a lost vent.

So is this an Electra (the only 61 with four vents) or is it something smaller with the more sloped rear window and column?

I will buying all colours

I would be happy for one them to be a two tone blue or green or fawn and beige but I would wish for the other to be red. I would prefer a red 225 convertible. If there is only to be bubble tops then definitely one in red for me please.

Uh-ohhh...I better get my wallet on a calisthenics regimen for an upcoming workout!

Early 60s enthusiasts are dancing in the aisles.

The roof should be higher and the rear B pillar thinner.

But your point regarding the roofline for the '61 Electra is still important, David. It's the same, more angular roofline of the Ninety Eight and Coupe DeVille.

Arctic White over Laguna Blue Poly and solid Laguna Blue Poly were very popular in 1961. +++++
