1961 for its bubbletop and fresh styling.


Retired in Dunedin, Florida.

The 62 is my fave 60s Chevy but that 61 is gorgeous too.

I like the trim look of the ‘61.

I love that side trim that sweeps down the side and swings up at the back end.

To me, the '62 is too blase and lacks the character of the '61.
