Arrival of Chevrolet Impala models...
And unloading.
 Open to the public...
I'll let you identify the models; for at least 3 of them, it's easy! 😊Â

A very nice looking display of Chevys and the pending trade-in, a '50 Buick. Not sure about the hauler.

@randyrusk This is the reproduction of a Brazilian truck by IXO for ALTAYA in 2018 : FNM (Fabrica National de Motors) D 11000 CW 1957-1973.

Very nice set-up and models. IXO/Altaya did a few 1/43 "haulers of the world," each one is a gem. I wish they'd tool up more American versions.

Between 1956 and 1960, FNM built more than 15,000 heavy trucks of Alfa Romeo design under license in Brazil!!! I need to search for on e of these!!!

Superb setups and pictures. The placement of the people makes each picture come alive.

And a few more 1959 Chevrolets, some rarely if ever modeled.

Very nice display of Chevy's. It brings back the good old days when dealerships had the all window fronts with the cars being the stars behind them. THANKS for sharing!

@john-quilter Many years ago I bought a resin 1/43 '59 Impala 4-dr sedan body which required a donor car.... I started the project but never completed it. A few months back I noticed that there is NOW a 1/43 1959 Chevrolet available..... so, I'll probably never finish mine.
Looks like your 4-dr sedan was like mine, a "resin."

Most of the pictured items are Kagar resin transkits for Vitesse diecasts. Vitesse diecasts needed the front ride height corrected but otherwise they are good models.

@domi7777 I always like looking at your displays, I have made several dioramas myself and I would be interested in knowing where you get your figures from, they really bring the scene to life. Keep up your great work.

@cfcooper Merci, Chuck ! J'achète certaines figurines chez "Carreravroom" où il y a un large choix à peindre.
Pour ceux déjà peints, j'ai choisi des fabricants comme Bachmann, Preiser ou Woodland Scenics.
