I didn't use to really get into cars built before I was born like this '61 but some are really growing on me. I think this one is super cool!

To me, the '61s are pretty bizarre, but that uniqueness has become almost attractive 60-some years later.
Those Dodges in particular seem to me like the front-end designers never saw what the rear-end designers were doing.
I can picture that car doing some street racing back in the day.

Very cool car.

Not something I ever thought I would like. But I like it

This car is pretty epic, the owner had it listed for $21,000 and it didn't sell now it's on BAT. I have my challenger r/t vert for sale if the stars align it will be mine.

It's that rear end styling that really grabs me. So cool and unique. Virgil Exner is one of my heroes.

Another one of those cars that for as much as I like the stocker, I'd love to see with a modern chassis and engine but left looking as it is now. Make it a long distance reacher not a show poodle.

But that's just me...... blush

I've always like the looks of those for some reason, not so much the other Mopars from those years.

Real D500 manual trans car, very rare combo. That D500 emblem on the back alone is worth a penny.

I like the look of the '61 Dodge,awesome in a wagon as well. The grill has a bit of a Buick-esque feel to it.
