Bill,
Also note the narrow band white walls and black wheels. Those tires only came on the Super Sport in '61.

According to the literature, the SS option was available on all Impala body styles except wagons.

Probably not as much as a 2-dr. I think the "two too many doors rule" would still apply.

It is an interesting photo for sure. I wonder where it was taken and the purpose for the 2 gentlemen posing next to their cars. Maybe they were traveling on vacation together?

Verne

PS: I blew the photo up and I believe I can see the column mounted shifter handle in Park, so that would mean it's the 305hp 348 (the only engine available in the SS with a P/G trans)

Vern, it looks like they're in front of the Colony Hotel in the heart of South Beach, Miami. Why they're posing is anyone's guess.

Posing and South Beach go hand-in-hand (pun intended ), don't they?
