This is my '58 Impala, using the Revell kit (love all that separate chrome trim). I built it as I remember the car that first lit the car loving fire in me when I was 13. At that time (1960) a guy who lived in the same apartment bldg. as I did, (in The Bronx, NY) would park this car at the curb in front of the house every day... and I drooled over it every day too.

Here's my '58. I'm doing all the Impalas from '58 up through that I can find kits for. Saving the '59 for last as it's my favorite.

The first family car I remember was Dad's '58 Impala convertible. It was a late-model when he got it. He took us to McDonalds the first night we had it (golden arches, walk up to the window, over 100,000 sold!). I spilled a vanilla shake down the rear seat speaker (I was 5 or 6). He was not impressed!
