Hard to tell the 1:1 from the 1:43

I always liked the 1958 Chevrolet. Is the 1/43 scale model made by Brooklin?

That is a beautiful automobile by Chevrolet and a fine white metal replica of it by Brooklin.
My Dad and our family had a 1:1 1958 Chevrolet and I had a 1/25 scale plastic promo model of the Chevy.

Beautiful model and comparison photos. I sold my 1/1 several years ago because I was out of space. I have the Brooklin and also the MiniMarque. The MiniMarque has the skirts and Continental kit like my 1/1.

...always loved 1958 Chevys, even 45-50 years ago when no one cared AND you could buy them for practically zero money. Everyone wanted tri-fives!
Hard to believe but even today I consider this "ancient" 1/18 Ertl still one of the best '58 Impala models ever done. All I did was "fix" the whitewalls; Ertl made them too wide.
Not bad for 36 year old tooling, right? Blue is a nice color too! 😎 😎

An excellent model and even more so when it's been redone by John Roberts.

Here's a 1:1 ("Belle") that Frank Racibozynski used to own. Complete with "necker knob" and dice valve stem caps.

Not an Impala but a Bel Air.
