I think this is the Testor's diecast 1961 Impala SS in Seamist Turquoise. Not sure if 1/25 or 1/24. I painted and detailed the interior, but alas, have no pictures to prove it. They must have been in an old, now discarded computer. Ha. This is the only pic I have of this model that I have. I no longer have this model in my small collection, alas. The photo is staged with a plastic gas station diorama and shot outdoors. Just a blast from the past...

These models are 1/25 scale but display nicely with 1/24 scale. Love the picture Patty.

The garage is a nice touch and the Impala shows really well, detail-wise!

Nice pic!  That color was sure popular back in the early to mid 60s.

Patty, great pic AND model. I've thought about picking one of these up and detailing it myself. Kinda looks like the Classic Metal Works version also. What are you thoughts overall on these? Just curious. Thanks.😊
