<VV> 1961 Loadside update

[The Reinharts]

Bill, My 1961 Chevrolet truck engineering features book states: The custom 
equipment option furnishes the Corvair 95 models with a stainless steel 
windshield reveal molding, rear door or tailgate ornamental inserts, and 
special interior trim. Chrome-finished hub caps and bumpers are available as 
a separate option. In the interior section: Items of additional comfort, 
provided by the custom option include a 2-tone treatment of the doors which 
is achieved by painting the upper embossments charcoal grey; 2-toning of the 
instrument panel, with a silver-grey front face; right hand sunshade; left 
hand armrest; cigar lighter;silver anodized aluminum trim plate for the 
dispatch door; and more luxurious seat trim. So according to the book the 
deluxe model is the base model and the custom optioned Corvair 95 is the 
fancy one. So I guess I have a Custom optioned Loadside. Can anyone add to 
this?
