Wow is right!  Super pics.  I would love to have those 4-door Impalas in 1:24.

John,

Great Michigan scene from the 60’s. 
2 questions, where did you find such a nice 63 Chevy and last where’s Goldvarg’s 62 Impala?

Wonderful as always. This is the first time I see a phone booth in 1:43. Do you also have this Impala?

@michel-lemieux  Here are two phone booths in 1:48 scale, although I think suitable for 1:43 scenes. The larger phone booth is vintage Plasticville; don't recall where I got the other one. However, I like John's better than either of these. Car included to help with perspective.

@john-quilter Thanks for identifying the model. I thought it might be a Kess model. It may be very difficult to locate one for sale at a reasonable price. I think I may have seen a black version, but …..

thanks, cfcooper

The Kess was issued in 2015, an LE of 250 in that two-tone combo. Will be darn hard to find one now I think.

BTW John, you might retake that pic with a '62 added.

Unfortunately, I don't. I only have the two from Goldvarg and the sedan from Trax.

As already identified, the '63 is a Kess model. I took these in 2020, so the Goldvarg '62 wasn’t  around yet. But I can always rebuild the diorama and include it-maybe this winter.

@tedweller It's unbelievable how much they can make as accessories. Merci! For the pic.
