A "left testicle" Chevy bubble top Impala. Two Door 1961

On of GM's best styling exercises and my favorite hardtop of many era's. Topic title indicates my willingness to bargain away one of a matched set of largely unused organs, preferably the left, to acquire one of these in White and Red as shown here.
This week conclude the car show season locally with two small shows. This unrestored original was the focal point for me of the smaller show.
Ladies, please don't be upset! It's largely a man thing!!

Why the left one? Why not the right one?

Bel Airs never had that particular side trim. If you go into download and then upsize the 2nd download, it clearly says Impala. Bel Airs were not trimmed out as nicely and weighed a bit less... which made them better racers.
Left because I am right handed!

Yes, and while I knew that, the owner shared that with me at the show. Thanks for confirming. There were always little differences like that to confuse the buying public and give the dealerships/sales people room for upgrades.
How do you think the Camera industry learned how to rip a bit more money out of our wallets. Isn't it obvious that cars use gas, and camera mfrs inspire us with a rolling cycle of gas, which really doesn't do squat for us as real improvements in our photography.
A Bel Air would take you the same places, often as fast, or faster than the Impala. Likewise, entry level camera's will also produce better images in the right hands, than Pro level camera's.

Nice car but I give either testicle for a 1960 Buick Electra 225 convertible white with red interior. Or, a 1954 Buick convertible.

Well, I've only got one left and I'd just as soon hang on to it, but I've always liked the '53 Cadillac Eldorado; if I had one it wouldn't just sit in the garage, either. The photo is not mine, got it off the Plan 59 website to use as illustration with this post.

Closest I ever got to that Caddy was a ‘53 Pontiac convertible. Lemon yellow.
I watch a lot of the car shows so I have a lot of favorites, but the Buicks are at the top of the list.

When I was in high school my neighbor's son had one just like that. (Except for the wheels, of course.) It was new.
