Starfire!
I'll keep the commentary to a minimum here and let the images paint the picture- this is the announcement brochure for the mid-year 1961 Oldsmobile Starfire. Excitement- glamour- romance- what else could one possibly need in a car?
I had a '61 Starfire low mile, one family owned, white on blue leather. What was most interesting was it still had its factory convertible top. That top was a very pale blue with about a 2.5" wide strip of the medium blue interior color running down the sides of the top just above the side glass. I was told this ('61 Starfires) was the ONLY time a two tone top was put on an American convertible.
