Posted this one many years back, but am sharing some of my faves again. I did some touch ups in the interior and foiling, plus added a custom up top. I still have this model! Hope you all can enjoy it again!

"Hope you all can enjoy it again!"

I can... and it reminds me of my "Impala Patty Impala."    😀 😎 😉

Nice,  I like this color.  The ERTL '64 Impala I got back in 2000 was black.  I bought a group or them and did some style additions. Well, actually I went a bit crazy.

"Well, actually I went a bit crazy."

Had I noticed a 4-door sedan I would've agreed, but.....

What a great job on a "cheap" ERTL!  Looks like a million dollars now!
