1959 Imperial

[bbowser]

My latest completion, from the Model King reissue of a couple years ago. Curbside, basically an unassembled promo so it went together pretty quick. The color is kind of a champagne gold over ivory that I thought looked pretty classy. A nod to Rich and his class of '59, I love that model year. The height of excess, batwing Chevies and tailfin Caddies. Comments welcome, thanks for looking.

Beautiful model Bruce and it looks classy.

Elegant job on an elegant car! Looks like a good match for factory Ivory White over Frosty Tan. I've read here that the chrome parts had to be recreated to replace missing molds; they did such a good job that both the original and the reissue have a little gap between the grille/headlights and the fenders/hood! It takes some trimming on the fenders and grinding under the hood but it's fixable.

Bruce, that Imperial looks great, I love it. Thanks for the nod to my "Class of '59". So far I've only built 3 cars from '59 (Chevy, Dodge and this same Imperial kit.) Forgive me, but I'm not trying to hijack your thread here. The '59 Imperial that I built a couple of years ago was what I called my "Pimperial". It was done up to look sort of ...... a little different. Here's a pic.

It was a totally fun, tongue-in-cheek project.

I like the looks of your's better.

Thanks for sharing...

It musta been lots of fun identify these big land yachts cruising down the neighborhoods.

The "Jelly Bean" cars of today killed car spotting game.

Absolutely beautiful build! Looks close to factory Cameo Tan Metallic as well as Frosty Tan metallic.

[Chris White]

Excellent job. Those big boys didn't just "drive" down the road, they "owned" both lanes

[Dominik]

Well done - if i remember the (terrible) kit. Also like the colorchoice. Looks good!

[Shardik]

Perfect choice on the colors, Bruce. I've never seen one look classier!

The white/tan with the ruby interior is a beautiful combination.

That looks great, Bruce.
