    Even the license plate color compliments the car! For sale, but I'd guess, not for long. Thanks for sharing it before its gone, Lou.

    Hi Lou & Bill: When I was a kid, I recall building plastic models of this Corvette. I believe they were Revell / Side bar, kids today are know longer building plastic model and Revell is going out of business. Is this true? Cool tour and ride.😎 Gary

    Another gorgeous Corvette! I'm not as crazy about the black-walled tires as you are, but it is a sharp looking car. Thanks for sharing that, Lou. :)

    Thanks, Lou…… nice overview of a **1961… great year & engines (* kind of remembering that **283 FUELIE engine of 315++/HP:: supposedly a noisy , difficult engine(?)…….. that was about the era , I was starting , hanging around Service Stations/Car Hang outs….. Oddly, I bought a *1961 Convertible , in 1965: Ford GALAXIE 352/4BBL/ Dual exh/ auto(;RED, WHITE top)….. would have been ecstatic for Corvette Convert: generally much more expensive & insurances, etc……

      I hope so. It would be much more fun to drive the streets of gold than to walk the streets of gold. I would imagine that, in heaven, cars would never break down, they'd never crash, they'd drive like a dream, and there would be no road rage. How great would that be!
