1961 Chevrolet Bubble Top Wagon 'Double Bubble' From Greening Auto Company

  • If there was ever a case for two Ridler winners at the Detroit Autorama, 2016 was it.
    The 1961 Bubble Top wagon from Greening Auto Company grabbed the audience attention from the moment they walked in the front door.
    It's hard to believe this wasn't a factory GM build. By lengthening the front and completely fabricating a rear this is exaclty what GM would have done in '61 when building a wagon.
    But when you add a fuel injected 409 engine with a manual transmission, this is no Sunday driver.
    JF Launier, JF Kustoms has always had a thing for wagons. After winning the 2014 Ridler, he's got an eye for great builds. So JF just had to get with Jesse Greening and take a personal tour.

    I think he should have factored the V at the back between the lights into it in some way. That was some daring styling by Chevrolet that worked like they knew what they were doing. That was a bit of an aesthetic backstep in my opinion to just straighten the back out. Maybe made it wider to take up the lost inside light and keep the form. But the rest of it is shocking! Superb work.

    She's a Beauty would have liked to seen it with the back hatch down as the rear end styling looks phenomenal❗ My own personal dislike is the dashboard with all the instruments in the center instead of on the drivers side where they belong. If that was suppose to modernize the car it didn't. A flat screen with onboard diagnostics in the center would have. Not saying that should be done as I like the retro look that is era correct on a 1960s automobile, they were futuristic enough originally. 😎👍 Beautiful looking double bubble 61'👍
