There was a cut off point if you go by serial numbers and the dates of the SN stamping. All the November 61 serial numbers L151XXX were on the next year's 1962 Corvette 5 speeds. The Corvette 3 speeds had a model year transition around the 15th of November 1961. There was about a month between the last built 61 Corvette 5 speeds and the production of the new 1962 models in Nov. 61. Also note there was about a month between the first 62 production in Nov. 61 to the next production run starting with serial #'s on Jan. 18, 1962.
