was "shorn" of its fins on the vertical plane, but they reappeared
on a horizontal plane as part of the body lines at the rear and
front side of fenders. The TorqueFlight automatics were vastly
improved with aluminum cases, reducing weight. 1961 was the last
year for a full-sized Plymouth carline until 1965. In 65 the Savoy
