PICs - Daily Dose of Diecast... Saturday some more photos of my 60 Impala taken when I did my brief "photo-shoot" on the roof.

1960 Chevrolet Impala Convertible

Sharp / outstanding pics. Why 'the roof'? Wasn't that risky?

Billy, it proved to be a little bit. I decided that I wanted to feature just the sky as a background, I tried several platforms and layouts that just didn't work well. So I got out the ladder, and up I went. It worked well enough, but balancing myself, the camera and the models was a little much, so next time I will need a different plan.

On the roof? So you got "high" to take the pics? Wouldn't have thought that of you John. Smile
I've always really liked this Danbury Mint Chevy. My only frustration is that the front fender ride height is so high. But other than that, it is simply a nicely done model.

I have this one. The 4X4 ride height and the dull wheel covers distract from an otherwise..........

nice image. Prefer the blue issue, which I also have. Great pics of course.
