Cool pic!  Any idea what ship that is in the background?

The ‘60 Plymouth is a quite attractive car.

I believe it’s a Savoy.

Beautiful ship! I’m reading a bit of her history now. Sounds like in her prime she was wonderful.

Back when cars were meant to be seen out of.

One of my best friends in high school was supposed to take a graduation cruise on her as SS Norway in  2004 and was all excited, his dad even more so due to the history of the ship. Then, that boiler explosion happened and it was the end of it.

And the 61s would go on to influence cars 50 years later:

Do you concur that the rear car is a ‘61-’63 Rambler American? I’m really unsure but having a hard time finding another good match.

Yup the fender line and hood ornament look pretty much a match.

Weird when there are two elegantly styled cars in frame and it’s the Plymouth that’s not only more opulent, but far from the cheaper.

It’s funny how a design from 1961, an odd ‘tweener year overall, can be seen as the one not trying as hard.
