the history

“No matter what you pay, you won’t find a car that pays more attention to your comfort than the jet-smooth ’61 Chevy.With full coil springs at each wheel and the hundreds of insulators built into the body and chassis, you enjoy a ride that’sumptuously soft, relaxing and quiet. The first time you slip inside a Chevrolet you’ll also see the world of difference some well-placed inches can make in your comfort. As much as 6 inches added to door openings make your ins and outs easier. Seats up to 14% higher make for easy sitting as well as easy seeing. There’s more rear-seat foot room for the man in the middle. And as for that huge bin of a trunk-there’s never been one quite like it before. It’s easier to load with the lid opening as much as 10 1/2 inches lower. And you stack luggage 15% higher because of the new recessed floor. Yet-the fascinating fact remains-this ’61 is slimmer and trimmer, inches shorter than last year’s model, to make parking and garaging easier. Your dealer will be happy to fill you in on all the delightful details. And while you’re talking you might take the wheel and see how conversation-quiet this jet-smooth Chevy can be.”

This car is amazing, 7900 miles since new, when in doubt if a car is “really” original, just take a quick smell of the interior, it never lies…still crayon marks on the fire wall from the assembly line inspector
