If you can see the Biarritz name in script on the leading edge of the front fenders http://www.georgeandevesclassicmotorcars.com/images/4/61%20great%20white%2001.jpg Eldorado Biarritz, if not Series 62 (6267F). The most probably is Series 62: 15,500 vs 1,450 Eldorados |

Yes I would go with Series 62. |

The car in the background is a Series Sixty Two, yes, but it's a 1962 model. As similar in appearance as the 1961 and 1962 bodies are, notice that the yellow car in the background lacks the color-keyed hubcaps that were standard in 1961. In addition, the fin is lower, with more of a straight profile. Finally, notice that the line of body sculpting below the fin does not wrap around the back of the car, over the rear bumper. Look, carefully, then, and you'll be able to see where the 1962 vertical rear bumper meets the trailing edge of the body. |

Not to mention a different grill and square vs round parking lamps. |

Reading back over this comment I made a while ago about the difference between the 1961 and 62 hubcaps, I need to make a clarification. Instead of stating that the 62 "lacks the color-keyed hubcaps that were standard in 1961", I should have written that to state that the 62 "lacks the prominent color-keyed hubcaps that were standard in 1961". In fact, the 1962 did feature color-keyed hubcaps, but, unlike the 81, which featured a cap that was color-keyed from the hub to the exterior ring, encompassing nearly the entire hubcap, the color on the 62 cap was limited to a much smaller diameter area just around the hub. Consequently, there's much more chrome plating on the 62 hubcaps, which becomes dominant, especially when viewed from a distance. |
