Speaking of 1:1s…what was the first 1:1 that you purchased brand new?
Mine was a 1965 Chevy Impala SS coupe. It was sierra tan with a saddle interior and tinted glass. It had a 283 with Power Glide. I paid $2,995. It was delivered in Brooklyn, NY from Park Slope Chevrolet?.back in February, 1965. Boy?.did I love that car!!!

A 1976 Chevrolet Caprice Classic 2 door. If I remember right, I paid about $5,000 for it new. Red with a red vinyl top and red interior. Great car, but the '70's Chevies were really prone to rust, especially the back of the front wheel wells, the door bottoms and rear quarter panels. Bad memories about the rust, but the car ran super.

1964 Chevrolet Impala SS 2-door hardtop Silver blue. Loaded. The great thing about this car is that WCPD made a model of this exact car. The only one in my collection that is the same as a car I onced owned. I still have the original bill of sale........cost $3,345.50. I traded in my 1958 Ford Retactable and got $1,146.00 for it. How I wish I still had both these cars. When I traded in the Retactable, it was just another used car......but it was already rusty......the winters and salt in Rockford, Illinois were really hard on the Ford.
