tomsheehy Posted February 29, 2016 Share Posted February 29, 2016 66 Chevy Biscayne, Chicago PD...this is a collaboration of sorts. The body was done by a friend of mine, Dave Neuman of the Chicago area. He actually converted the Revell 65 Impala convertible body into a 66 Biscayne 4 door...no resin here. He did this a few years ago, before Revell introduced the 66 Impala kit. I was lucky enough to obtain this from him a few months back with the body all done, but nothing else completed. I sourced a 66 Biscayne interior from Model Car World and converted it to a 4 door, then built the chassis. I used Replica & Miniatures of MD resin 6 cylinder engine, as per the real CPD squads. Paint is Ace Hardware safety blue enamel, interior was done with Dupli-color interior paint. Since I'm getting close to filling my photo limit, I'll post a few here, along with the link to my build up and more under glass images, including some paired with my 67 Biscayne wagon that I built years ago. http://public.fotki.com/tsheehy/scale_models/66-chevy-biscayne-c/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

High octane Posted March 1, 2016 Share Posted March 1, 2016 Real nice job on that Chicago cruiser, only thing I don't like about them is back-in-the-day when they would pull up behind me with their lights flashing. I was in a heap of trouble then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

espo Posted March 1, 2016 Share Posted March 1, 2016 Beautiful Squad build. I looked on your link and enjoyed the '67 wagon also. I didn't know that CPD used 6 cylinder cars. I'm sure it saved the city on operating expenses but if that had to chase a "Purp", say a "J" Walker or something they would be at a disadvantage.

Bob Ellis Posted March 1, 2016 Share Posted March 1, 2016 I like you 66 Biscayne. Seem enough 66 Impalas.Even with cruisers with 6s, it's hard to outrun a radio. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
louie Posted March 1, 2016 Share Posted March 1, 2016 That's beautiful. I went to your site and you really have some nice photos. I really enjoyed them all but what stood out to me was the history of the Clarkstown police, Wow what great stuff and all of those Pontiacs and Chevys ,just awesome. I have to say that I really enjoyed seeing those pictures. Thank you.Jeff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
