As some of you know I moved to India two years ago, letting my 66 f85 at home. Yesterday I saw something next to the street. Does anyone know what car it is? Thanks

 

Ha ha....all missing or rusted away! It looks like a 61 impala from the rear. But the 61 has 3 taillights each side

 

'61 Biscayne

 

Got it! 61 Chevrolet biscayne

 

I don’t think so 😂

 

I forgot how ugly they were.

 

Nope.
1961 Bel Air

 

That car is not a Biscayne .
It is a '61 Bel Air . Notice the trim on the quarter panel .

 

A tougher question would've been "what is that white foreign POS you are driving parked next to this American Beauty"?

I think the pecking order for full-sized Chevys was Biscayne << Bel-Air << Impala << Caprice (yeah, I know not all models were available all years, but some years in the mid-late '60s they were).

That blue Biscayne in Greenwood, IN is a beauty, but you can tell what it was primarily used for (blown 409 in its first year, 4-speed, super low mileage).

 

Pappy and Charlie are correct, Impala indeed had 3 tail lights , however Belair and Biscayne both had only two, the Belair was a tier down from the
Impala and had the side trim, Biscayne was a tier down from the Belair and was mostly void of trim,
My dad had a 63 Biscayne, talk about your basic transportation !it was a radio delete 3 on the tree, 230 cid 6 cyl, no p/s or p/b and had no
carpet it was vinyl flooring it was a 2 door sedan, it did have heat !! at was a damn good car reliable and dependable.

 

Looks to appear like any U.S Major City these days!

 

That's an odd looking crunch to the decklid and the the grille. I am guessing it died, it got pulled over and abandoned, and someone jimmied the trunk, and someone took off the hood and punched the grille out pulling the engine. Much of the US and the third world is like that, when there's a whole bunch of people, people just take things.

 

It's a 1961 Chevrolet Bel-Air. Notice the chrome trim on the trunk lid, Biscayne didn't have that.

 

Tempest??
