I have always loved the look of the 61 Olds; especially the tail lights. I know some others don't feel this way about it though. The 60 is a nice looking car too, but IMHO it can't compare for looks. I am really looking forward to Sergio's 61 2drht coming soon!
Again I’m the minority but never cared for the 61 Olds, prefer the clean lines of the 60,best friend had a grey 60 convertible back in 65 that was one sweet ride.
parked along side my deep Red 60 Bonneville Convertible they were a nicely matched pair lol.
No contest for me tonight, the '61. I guess when I was 7yrs old the '60 didn't float my boat but when I was 8yrs old the Olds style smacked me in the face and I loved it !!
Lol
There are alot of '61 GM styles that I think are great. Less so of Ford and Mercury. MOPAR's are nice too.
Gimme a '61 Impala or Catalina any day over any other '61 make and I'll be happy.
Well, I have to go with the '60, the '61 is just kind of odd looking.
When I was very young, we lived in an apartment building in Detroit, my bedroom looked out onto a very busy street. Instead of sleeping I would stand on my bed and look out the window at all the cars going by.
I remember the '61 Olds, I called it the fox car, to my little self, it looked like a fox. The Metropolitan was a little piggy. I had animal names for a lot of cars back then, most of them I don't remember now.

Neither one excites me....if I had to pick one it would be the '61.
