electra225 ◊ 2024-07-02 22:50	Not a Catalina because it had got different plainer tail lights not of this kind: just two oblong units instead of six round ones, used on both Star Chiefs and Bonnevilles. Maybe this one could be a Star Chief Vista. -- Last edit: 2024-07-02 22:56:18

Maybe this one could be a Star Chief Vista. If it was a Star Chief, then there would be three pointy bird-shaped emblems right next to the rear fascia on both sides, which was on both the Laurentian and Star Chief for the 1961 model year. The thumbnail provided above doesn't seem to have it on closer inspection, so probably not. Correct me if I am wrong. -- Last edit: 2024-07-03 06:14:04
electra225 ◊ 2024-07-03 11:16	I was thinking the same about the three rims. Could we consider it a Bonneville ?
