Thinking about a land yacht.:eek:What do you think? The difference between bumper years.

That's a hell of a thing. Not my thing, but looks like an awesome option. I guess I'd prefer the blue one. I do love that GM pale yellow, but I like the blue car because it's got a little more character.

Need more pics of each year. What about the 1963?

62

The 62 looks better. Those horizontal lights below the fin on the '61 don't look quite right. Turning them vertical for '62 really cleaned up the look.

I'd buy the one that's in the best condition.

Targa68 09-11-2024 08:47 AM

Dixie, I'm talking about the style of the bumpers ;)

1963 is nice, but the 61 and 62 has the lower fins:D

zakthor 09-11-2024 09:09 AM

mmmm... 62 for me please.

Scott Douglas 09-11-2024 09:33 AM

'62 for me.

mgatepi 09-11-2024 09:39 AM

The 61 vert is the WINNER!
Awesome!!

I dont think that would fit in my garage!!!!

Luxobarges...we'll never see 'em again. Guess I'll join the crowd..I prefer the vertical tail light treatment of the '62.

Steve Carlton 09-11-2024 09:54 AM

I could go either way, but I prefer the 1961. I like the angle change in the upper fins and panel between the taillights better. For me, the color combination, condition, options, and price would factor in. Are the front ends and interiors the same?

'61. The styling is just a little crisper down the sides, and the rear edge of the trunk lid offers an interesting shadow line that looks like it was expensive and difficult to achieve so they eliminated it on the 62.

Either way, you'll get attention, if that's what you're hoping for.

Targa68 09-11-2024 09:59 AM

Pretty much Steve

Speaking only to the rear end and all other things equall (0ptions, condition, body style), I like the 62.

mgatepi 09-11-2024 10:07 AM

I agree the 62 rear end is much more attractive, so I change my vote! Its the 62 in the colors of the 61! There thats it!

HobieMarty 09-11-2024 10:25 AM

62 has a cleaner look to it.

61

I always liked the 61 better. I have a thing for 49s too.
