We've been fortunate enough to have several Chevrolet models offered to us from the Goldvarg Collection. In this post, let's take a look at 3 of them.
1961 Chevrolet Impala Convertible, GC 062B. Issued in 2024, it is a LE #216 of 240 in Seafoam Green & Ermine White
1962 Chevrolet Impala SS 409 Hardtop Sport Coupe, GC 044D. Issued in 2022, it is a LE #090 of 275 in Anniversary Gold
1964 Chevrolet Impala SS 409 Hardtop Coupe, GC 073B. Issued in 2024, it is a LE #014 of 200 In Azure Aqua

Really great looking Chevys John, but I never understood how that '64's top made it to production. That rear simulated "bow crease" incorrectly drifts down the sides of the C-pillars. 🤨

Great fidelity to the 1:1's; excellent color choices for the models and, as always, wonderfully photo'ed!

Here's another Chev Impala but not a Goldvarg. This is one that I just finished. It is an Ertl 1964 Impala 2 dr htp converted to a convertible. The hood and trunk had extreme diecast cancer and literally crumbled in my hands. I had to make a new hood and trunk from galvanized metal that I had on hand.

I had the same issue on one of mine and also created a new hood. But I had a number of these and only one had the issue. Others became different body styles.
