Expert Posts: 3887 Location: Northen Virginia | oh my, sorry guys I completely left all the info behind. This is a 1961 New Yorker convertible in Argentina. I was amazing how low the production was for this body style. This particular car was exported for the Argentinean Auto show of 1961.

If there is a tondeau cover, it will be the same colour as what the top was. I don't think that the cowl data plate tells us anything. Igor? Robert? Ian? Edited by 56D500boy 2021-03-16 1:09 PM | ||

For the verts 1960 there was the following colors; 331 black 332 white 333 green 334 blue 335 terra cotta | ||
