This one is about as close as it gets.  The '62 roofline and tail light surround gives it the nod; plus it is my fave Chevy of the '60s.  Come to think of it there wasn't a bad one in that entire decade.  IMHO the Chevy styling slide started in 1970-71.

Interesting how we have different opinions when it comes to cars.  In the case of the SIXTIES CHEVY's, to my eyes the three most beautiful eye-poppers are in this order:  1) '62  2) '65  3) '61.  The rest of decades Chevy's lose me completely.  

And my favs are '59, '61 and '65. All 3 are beautiful IMO..

I'm glad you put your post on the wrong thread because I  also love the 1963 Pontiac, especially the Grand Prix.

In Nocturne Blue (dark blue) as I recall......right?  My choice would be Marlin Aqua Poly, with yours being a very close second.

@georgeschire Wouldn't our hobby be boring if we all liked the same cars......

Absolutely!  Not liking the same cars is what makes talking about cars fun.  And of course liking the same cars too.  I'd love it if all of us here on the Forums could sit and chat in person about our model collections, our cars, and whatever else comes to mind.

That would be a memorable occasion George.  Then if Tony P. would kindly shake us up a batch of his killer martinis and JK would smoke up a brisket dinner that would be perfection.

Sounds like a party that would be heaven to attend.

The good old days back in the 1990s when the D4C members would meet at TFM in Media PA for a fun weekend to discuss cars and models. I miss those days.

@jkuvakas I find that hard to believe John K. because you married the prom queen.

Without question, his Mrs. could have done a lot better. Smile
