Many of these cars found their way into Joe Bortz's phenomenal collection of Motorama cars as well as some from Chrysler.

Wow. Just did a bit of reading on this. Had no idea. I grew up 3 miles away (in the 1990s but these cars were already gone) and Harry used to live in my in laws neighborhood up until a few years ago. Still keeps in touch with my father in law.

and guess what? He had a mid year convertible (I believe a 63).

I'm surprised GM didn't want these cars crushed with pictures for proof.
