This car has the optional for 1965 back up lights. Should be talking about the correct AL harrison radiator, ignition shielding, expansion tank, cking pad for numbers and suffix showing 365hp letter codes, + show nterior trim plate to show correct color combo + show underside of frame to get idea if the side pipes were originally on the car as probably most of them have been converted from rear exhaust cars originally. Sides make the car almost obnoxious to ride in for more than an hour, so test a car before you buy one with sides. Love the car otherwise, its rare because no one put reproduction knock off's on it and actually looks like vast majority did they did back in the day with the caps.

Great car! My favorite year prior to the tri 5's. The 54 has full pressure lubrication with an oil pump instead of the rod and babbitt splash system of previous years. I bought a sold good running one for $50 in 71 and drove it to work for two years and sold it for $150. It ran and drove great and did not burn oil. Even the radio worked. The guy that I bought it from thought it was toast because it smoked like crazy. It was billowing smoke from under it as I brought it back k from a test drive. He was asking $120 and I offered him $50 which he jumped at on the spot. I put in a couple of quarts of oil the short drive home and the next day went to NAPA and bought a new oil line and filter for the bypass oil filter and some engine decreased cleaner which took care of the massive oil line leak that was squirting allover the engine and manifold. It didn't burn a drop of oil or smoke after that. Best car buy that I ever made!

One tip, youngsters. When slowing down, you do not shift into Neutral, nor do you declutch right away. You are supposed to keep it in gear until you get down to about 15 MPH so that engine braking helps to slow you down. When you get to 15, THEN you declutch. That's why stick-shift cars were known to be easier on their brakes - better engine braking.

Actually the public didn't care for the rear end treatment on the '61s. In fact GM came very close to an unprecedented mid-year restyling of it but decided to stick it out until the model change. Hence the very noticeable re-do of the 1962 editions, at least from the rear. Personally I like the 1961 styling, but I read about this decades ago.
