VERY nice Chris - well put together; I like every one of them.

I did notice, though; you missed just one:

"...you missed just one."

I was saving that for PART 2: Impalas in the wild.  😏

@grockwood Thanks for adding those....  I thought I might have one or two of those, but I did not.

"...great job with the staging!" 

Thanks, but the only pic that took lots of time (staging ) was the "red-61, white-60 & blue-59 shot."    I made several trips, carrying boxes full of 1/18 Chevrolets... then I "park"  them around the pool, then I posed a few figures, then I open a few doors, etc., etc...   and THEN I took the pics.    Despite all that work, years ago, only a few pics were saved.  😫 😫

"Number one is number one for me."

I too have a soft spot for '58's.    I made a few enhancements to that Ertl - just to make it look a bit better.    IMO, this Ertl still holds up despite being 30+ yr-old tooling!  😀 😀

Great pics of Chevy Impalas!  IMHO GM did a fantastic job worth the Impala styling from '58 thru '69 inclusive.  After that it got  a bit generic looking, like many American cars of the Malaise era.
