There were some nice touches that did not make it onto any other year, and so they are sought after by collectors today. This kind of lineage is why the black paint has been given the right investments to give it the kind of high gloss shine that instantly attracts attention. Plus, this one has all the right brightwork elements from the large wraparound bumpers to the intricate gunsight the gun sight fender ornaments. And it's sure to draw a crowd with elements like the wraparound rear window with body overhang, and the full-length sweeping trim that also gives a nice hint at the interior color. But the part we know you love the best is the dipping "V" in the trunk with the three tail lamps on each side. It's something so daring that this style is unique to the '61. Inside is a custom setup that nicely repeats the exterior color scheme. So the great glossy black returns on places like the dash and upholstery.
