Well, with bench seats, it depends on the transmission - in 1961, all cars with 3-speed transmissions and Monzas with buckets used the straight armed shifter; 4-speed transmissions used the more modern curved armed shifter. 

Per Dave Newell, as posted on SCG website here: http://stock.corvair.org/wordpress/2011/06/straight-shift-levers/

"The straight shifter started with the ’60 Monza, in which the three-speed was of course the only manual transmission available. 61 Monzas with buckets and 3-speed continued to use the straight lever."

Please see the below question - any caveman out there that remember - I know there are several different versions for bench and bucket but do not remember the specifics.  

"Question for you - on a 61 bench seat car- should the shifter come back and touch the seat. On a bucket seat car the shifter is longer." Best regards,
