Greetings from the uk

Hello all, newbie here from the UK.
Have just acquired a '61 Dynamic sedan which I'm hoping to use daily once I get it roadworthy.
Look forward to talking with you all!
Andy.

Thanks Darrell!

Ok, here's some pics, sorry it's taken me a day or so to get round to it, I've been putting a lot of my free time into the Olds but decided to have a night off tonight!
The old girl needs a bit of love but is complete and solid.
Can't wait to get her on the road....

Thats a pretty car, I love the little skirts or whatever on the bottom of the rear quarters. I imagine this must be a pretty rare sight in the UK?

Thankyou, yes pretty rare over here, I'm sure there are others but I've never seen one!
I believe the lower rear skirts are called skegs (nice name!)
They only appeared on GM cars for a year or two around this period and were dropped as one of the top bosses didn't like them, or so the story goes.
