I've built one '58, few years ago, Revell Lowrider kit with few modifications, bit like Taildragger Style...

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!

Here's an old build that I built back in 95-96, came out on Lowrider Bicycle Magazine in the Summer 97 issue, the interior and suspension getting redone.

Some nice work here! Here is my Revell 59. Built back when the kit was first released, 93 or 94, I forget which.

Nick, I'm quite impressed , you've come a long way sir . Ed Shaver

X2 Nick. I think this is why you hang on to old builds, so you can judge how far you've come. Great job on the latest!

Hard to believe I built this car back in 2001! :o In fact, I have every model Impala from '58-'68 (although I don't have a '66), this is the only one I have so far that's built.
