Also all '61 Chevy 2-dr. hardtops,,Bel-Air, Impala and Super Sport are "bubbletops" so no need to be redundant. The term was properly used to differentiate between the '62 models when the new roofline came out for the Impalas and Super Sports, whereas the Bel-Airs retained the previous roofline,,but then you guys knew that didn't you?

It's worth noting that not all '61 Impala 2 drs. were hardtops. They were also available with the 'flat top' roofline..like the Biscayne and Bel Aire sedans...complete with post. I owned a '61 Impala 2 dr. sedan (not hardtop) in the early '90's.

But you knew that, right?

But since were not supposed to talk about '61's......
