1958 Imperial Southampton

Hi guys,

Back with a new built : a 1958 Imperial from AMT, it starts life as a built and painted convertible I stripped and restored using an AMT chassis and engine to bring life to the underside. I used a roof from a 59 Imperial kit reissue, modifeid the engine intake and air filter box, open the hood, painted it with a real Chrysler red color.

Hope you'll like it !! ;)

Thanks for saving this classic kit. You did a great job kitbashing in current parts to bring it back. I love those giant old cruisers that could probably hold 2-1/2 smart cars in the trunk. It looks huge as is but imagine all that Detroit iron wearing a continental kit on a three foot long rear bumper extension. I have seen that done. No fun to parallel park !
