Sergio is the blue one Twliight Mist irridescent ? Hard to tell but that color is beautiful on the color charts; it has a hint of mauve it seems.

As I did with the 1960 Olds post above, I checked out the color chart for the '61 Olds. The 3 color combos that appeal most to me are (in order of preference):
Tropic Mist iridescent (light met. green) with white roof.
Twilight Mist iridescent (blueish lilac shade) with white roof.
Garnet Mist iridescent with white roof. (as shown in Sergio's post).
Maybe have a look and give your thoughts. Sergio appreciates our input!

I can't find production numbers for these coupes. I've never seen one on the road.

Olds 98 production was down for 1961. I've seen many 4 doors and a few Starfires but never saw a 98 or Buick Electra coupe. I remember seeing more than a few 61 Cadillac coupes.
