Tonioseven Posted June 22, 2015 Posted June 22, 2015 (edited) This one's not finished yet... I also have two '60s, '69 hardtop, another '70 convertible, and two '70 hardtops all awaiting their turn at the bench. Edited June 22, 2015 by Tonioseven
59-Desoto Posted June 22, 2015 Posted June 22, 2015 Most of mine are in line for restoring but I 'll give a peak at a few anyway that are stashed away future projects
fseva Posted June 22, 2015 Posted June 22, 2015 Here is the only one I have done. It's a detailed '56 promo re-issue in Olympic Blue and Sun Beige. Wow - I never thought a "promo" could look so good!!!

Ron Hamilton Posted June 22, 2015 Posted June 22, 2015 Steve. Is the last one a 1961 ? I REALLY like that one So do I. I think it is drop dead gorgeous!!!! By the way the others are excellent too.

I've been really "eyeballing" a '60 Bonneville hardtop I have yet to restore. After seeing a beautiful his & hers pair of '60s @ a car show this past weekend, I'm thinking that may be one of my winter projects. Steve
Southern Fried Posted June 23, 2015 Posted June 23, 2015 Great thread.Back in the day when Detroit just went wild.Our first "New" car was a 1961 Impala. 2 door hardtop. I think the tag was around $2400. Not the"biggest" GM, but these excellent "big" GM builds here brought back memories.I was 4 at the time.At age 6, we went to Canada in it.From Alabama...to Canada.At night time driving, me and my Brother would swap out sleeping. One on the back seat, and one on the "hat rack" above, under that giant back glass. Wind flowing from Dad "cracking" the window.Keep the pics coming...I may dream some more.
mike 51 Posted June 23, 2015 Posted June 23, 2015 (edited) Wow - I never thought a "promo" could look so good!!! Hmm.. do you even know what a "promo" is? Why would you assume they couldn't look as good as any other model? Edited June 23, 2015 by mike 51

John Goschke Posted June 24, 2015 Posted June 24, 2015 John, By all means show what ever you got. Projects is my middle name Whats with the missing spear on the pass side fender of the 58 ? Thanks. Going for a mild custom look. After I get back to that project, both fender ornaments will be gone.
