Nice ride, but you need to move it away from the '61 Plymouth (Dodge?) so the ugly from the Plymouth doesn't rub off.

Those Plymouths were unique. I will never forget the day my dad came home with a brand new one in 61. It's a image burnt into my mind forever! My dad could not grasp why my brothers and I had no re-action to the purchase. We were violentley ill from the vision and politely quite!!

There were a bunch of lines in Bo Diddley's 1959 hit record "Say Man" that would apply to 1961 Plymouths.

"You look like you got whupped by an ugly stick" Was that one of them? I haven't listened to my Bo Diddley records in a long time.
