    I admit that I love the ´61 Buick Flamingo show car. Anybody know if its still out there or gone to Buick heaven?

    I have a friend who is hot on the trail of it. He believes that he may have found it but hasn't been able to get the owner to show it to him.

    I read some years ago that it is indeed still hidden away but the swivel seats were removed and if memory serves me it was repainted white

    61 Electra convertible custom show car done in a metallic flamingo pink with a swivel seat that turned to face rear for conversation

    I too had never heard of it, but I like the '61 Buicks anyhoo, and that would make me want one on the lawn as well.

    I think the seats actually pivoted, and you were sitting on the forward facing seatback when facing rearward.

    Anybody have buckets for a 61 Electra? Mine is a bench but it'd be fun to make a bracket have it spin. Then the wife could spin around and yell at the kiddos more effectively!

    Start a separate thread for those parts under "Parts Wanted".

    A weak attempt at humor on my part, didn't mean to kill the thread.
