I can’t seem to resist painting the tops of some of my 1950’s Chevys white. In the case of the black DM ‘57 and blue DM ‘58, I think they look better with a white roof than they do all one color. Especially the ‘58.
I did the FM ‘56 as an experiment. It’s okay, but I think I like the original black roof better.
I may sell the ‘56 and ‘57.

Two neighbors had '58 Impalas in the '60's; one was silver blue and the other pink, both with white roofs. I love the look of your '58. I think I'll do the same to mine.

That is some nice work. Thanks for sharing.

The 58 is outstanding, the 57 is okay but the 56 is questionable.

to be honest I too agree with Bob. As for the skill and effort on display.....brilliant!@bob-jackman I agree with that assessment.
