Here is my 1961 impala sport coupe aka bubbletop, new mexico car, very sold and very original. I just pulled out the original carpet to get a look at the floors.

I like the dirty banana!

Some folks do not like the term "BuBBleToP"

Great car, great color; personally I prefer the '61 bubbletops over the '62's. What are your plans for the car?

So what was that shade of yellow known as in '61?

Sorry to let ya guys down with the title

The color is Corna Cream and the interior is Fawn Beige. The car is a 348 car. The car is going to get a correct restoration red oxide primer over spray and all the markings. I am tempted (Havent decided yet) to put some day two type items on the car such as Wide Chrome reversed wheels rear skinnies in front, Stahl headers, vintage cheater slicks, etc.....
