I would have Comprehensive Loss coverage on this car, for sure, for its transit.

What could happen (to it)?

Whether or not Steph gets Comp coverage on this ride...for the rest of you: after you buy a car that is going to be delivered
to you, by any means/manner, please get it insured with Comprehensive all-risk coverage, to protect your monetary investment
in that ride.

Around the 60-61 era, would wide whites actually be correct?

I would have tought that they might have moved onto the skinny whites around that time?

It does look good Stef, I am sure you will enjoy it and spend the next few days (once its home) cleaning it and staring at it

The narrow, (1inch), whites debued on production cars in 1962. I believe the 61's were equipped with A 2" wide white as an option.

Beautiful car Steph. As hard as it must have been to lose your lovely black Fury I think you've done very well finding a suitable replacement.

Congradulations on sticking toyour guns about what you wanted in a car ...... And finding it.

Roger,....... who voted that .....? Your neighbor ....? LOL.

It's pretty evident the style was disliked by the dismal sales when new..... people RAN away.
My appreciation of the 61 Plymouth began in 1967, I found a black Fury convertible on a used car lot lot that stole my heart away.
Dad said no way would he co-sign for a convertible.

I finally got my hands on one ....... 45 years later. I'm gathering the needed stuff, polishing the stainless & aluminum, plating what needs to be plated and hope to do the restoration next year.

I think that the front end of the 61 Plymouth looks a lot better WITHOUT the optional grille guard stalled on it.

The grille guard adds nothing to the front end's appearance (it breaks up the grille's "waterfall" effect), but, it IS an
'optional' item, to add onto the car.

It was in a tread here on FL, 61 Dodge was 14th, shows how my taste goes, got rid of a 61 Dodge to move up the ugly list to 13th, and that's as far as I'm going.

Steph, I don't know hardly nuthin about the 61 PLY, but how did you learn that that expensive Aero wheel came standard with the
power steering option?

It would seem to me that having to add the cost of that steering wheel (anybody know its OEM price??) to the cost of the P/S option would
really raise the total-cost of the P/S system option.

Not everybody liked or wanted that 'square' wheel in their car....most magazines didn't love it, and their opinions shaped the desires
of their readers.

The Aero Wheel (square type) was optional only on power steering cars.

For non PS cars a "Deluxe wheel" could be ordered. Which was the round type aero wheel. All cars came standard with the regular non Aero type wheels.

i would expect the 61 aero wheels to be close to the cost of one for 1960 . which was a factory retail price of 14.25$ ------------------------------------later

I recently learned that it would cost me around $1300.00 -$1400.00 to have that aero wheel restored
