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!

I really like the looks of the 1961 Oldsmobile.To me the rear of the 1960 seems to droop, likely because of the fin and side trim at the rear.

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.

Definitely the '61 for me. Much more interesting to look at than the plainer '60.

I love Oldsmobile's, but NOT the '61.  Though I thought the '60 was bland compared to the beautiful '59's the year before, it is by far better looking than the "pointy rear fenders of the '61.  

SIXTY FOR ME PLEASE!

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.

1961. I like its looks and its smaller size.


Retired in Dunedin, Florida.

The '60 is too big and boaty with plain drab styling;  the '61 is alright and the best of the two choices.  Much prefer and love the '62 & '63.
