1965 Chevrolet Impala Wagon- My Way

[Ron Hamilton]

One of my favorite cars is the 1965 Chevrolet. The Revell-Monogram kits of the '65 Chevy are pretty nice, even though I have yet to build one straight out of the box. One of which I did was the Modelhaus Resin transkit for the Impala Station Wagon. I did mine as a 396/350 Turbo 400 loaded wagon.

I painted it with a custom mixed Orange Pearl Lacquer, with a Red-Orange "Flip-Flop" top coat, as I liked the color. Also, I used the MCG Photoetch set.

It's a little hard to see, but I had the entire dash chromed for better detail. The steering wheel rim came from Replicas and Miniatures, and it is real wood.

The wheels are the wire wheels from the Revell 1964 Impala Lowrider Kit, and the tires are Satco Firestone Deluxe Champion Pin-Whites. I should have added a trailer hitch, as this would have been quite a tow vehicle. This is one I will never let go.

Another GREAT build, Ron!! Given the right base, background and photography, both of your Chevy wagons would do well on the "Real or Model" thread!

Thanks for sharing and keep up the GREAT work!!

That's way cool! I'm trying to wrap up a '65 Impala coupe right now, but this makes me tempted to start a station wagon conversion right away.
