Exner Expert 19,174 posts. Neil passed away 18 Sep 2015. You will be missed, Neil! Posts: 19146 Location: bishop, ca | 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. | ||

Expert 5K+ Posts: 8443 Location: Perth Australia | The Chrysler Kid - 2014-04-16 5:23 AM A real set of wide whites and she will look good! 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 | ||

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. 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.

Exner Expert 19,174 posts. Neil passed away 18 Sep 2015. You will be missed, Neil! Posts: 19146 Location: bishop, ca | 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. | ||

Expert Posts: 2633 Location: Minor Hill, TN | I believe that is optional. | ||

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. Edited by fenix 2014-04-17 9:39 PM | ||

Posts: 19146 Location: bishop, ca | 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. | ||

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. | ||
