They are both great. With that straight on rear view, the back of the 61 reminds me a bit of the early corvairs (similar/same time frame, I think).

I too change my vote. I like the extra character in the '61 but the '62 is a more cohesive look from the rear.

The 62 is looking better and better:D

I like the 61 front end more than the 62, but it's all about the ass:D

61 front and 62 rear.

61 dammit.

Lol

1961 front
1962 rear
1963 each and every one of the143 available options
1964 429 ci engine

Glad to see so many people lining up behind the correct choice. :D

I agree, the rear of the '61 does look like it was inspired by the front end of a Corvair.

Actually, the correct choice is 'a 67 Eldorado. ;)

67 to 69 front wheel drive:)

You must be an engineer. :D When I worked in engineering, it always drove me nuts that they couldn't give a straight answer to a question.

Me - "I'm painting my house green. What is the best brand of paint?
Engineer - "You should paint it yellow."

OP - "Which is best, '61 or '62?"
Engineer - "'67."

It's all about the look, the fins

Lol, you're close. Dyscalculia made engineering a non-starter. (I can't tell you how many times I got hollered at for screwing up check registers.) Fortunately, software deals with logic more than math, so that became my career path.

I like the 61, but as Dixie said, the one you can find in the best condition.

Working on a 1962 year, I'm leaning toward the Eldorado model:cool:

Found a 62 Eldorado in Venice FL. Trying to work a deal.

Now THAT is nice!!! Look at the crispness of those fins!!! [emoji15][emoji1786]
