What are the correct arm rests for 1961 BelAir hardtops? I see chrome bases for sale quite often that look like the ones on my car, but are always listed as being for other models....62 thru 64 usually.....sometimes also fitting Chevelles and Chevy IIs.

Thanks for the reply Dan. That auction is actually my reason for posting this question......I mean I had always wanted to know....but seeing that listing reminded me to ask on here. That is the only place I've seen them listed as fitting 60-67 models. Everywhere else I've seen repros for sale the year range started after 1961. Are you sure they are the same? Or can anyone else chime in on this?
EDIT: I just noticed the seller has the same bases listed on another auction as fitting 60-67 Biscaynes and I know the 61 Biscayne used a much smaller and plainer arm rest. Now I'm even more suspicious as to whether they are right for the 61 BA. Maybe Phil or one of our other experts will chime in.
