A 1958 Impala has always been one of my favorite cars. Beautiful in any scale. Thanks Galen.

...as I've noted numerous times, although this is decades old Ertl tooling, it still holds up - more or less. With a bit of "wheel work" and other enhancements, it's not a bad model. It's certainly light years ahead of Motormax's version. Nice pic Galen!

Chris, what was your “wheel work”? Did you re-locate them inward a bit?

@100ford2003 ...yes, just a hair, added detail to the wheelcovers, and narrowed the whitewalls. 👍 Here's before & after pics.

@chris Nicely done! That little change makes a huge difference in the overall look.
