StevenGuthmiller Posted October 5, 2014 Posted October 5, 2014 (edited) Gary cook had asked me if I had ever built a '59 Impala & if I had if I could post some pics of it. Well... here it is. A little long in the tooth as they say, this is a very old build & is showing it's age. I believe this was one of the first times I ever used MCW paints when there used to be a local hobby shop in town that sold it in rattle cans. Can't remember the color, but I believe it may have been a late 60s Corvette or Camaro color. Steve Edited October 28, 2014 by StevenGuthmiller
IceMan Collections Posted October 5, 2014 Posted October 5, 2014 This looks great. Any engine shots, Steve?

slusher Posted October 5, 2014 Posted October 5, 2014 Man Steve that's a real beauty. Looks excellent to me..
deuces wild Posted October 5, 2014 Posted October 5, 2014 Color looks like Fathom blue Metallic.. I once owned a '69 Camaro SS 396 in that color..
TooOld Posted October 5, 2014 Posted October 5, 2014 Really nice Steve ! For some reason I always thought the '59 and '60 convertibles looked better with the top up !
impcon Posted October 5, 2014 Posted October 5, 2014 Thank you for posting these photos Steve. For being "a little long in the tooth", that car looks pretty sweet to me, I must say! The color is indeed nice and your build is a fine tribute to what is without a doubt, my all time favorite automobile. I can not honestly say that there is one feature about a '59 Chevrolet that I do not like although some people do not care for them. To me, they are eye candy - especially in stock form. I can remember going to swap meets in the early 80's and having people actually laugh at me when I asked if they had any '59 Chevy parts. I remember one guy laughing and saying, "Who would even want one of those?" Time does have a way of changing things, doesn't it? I am grateful to have the 1:1 ones that I have and regret selling some of the ones that I did over the years. Thank you again.
Grumpa Posted October 7, 2014 Posted October 7, 2014 Beautiful '59 Steve! Incredible interior work! Very nice!
