The new Impala from Goldvarg wasn't the only one issued recently. Another one from Top Gear/Trax was issued last month as well. Here are the two of them together.

A great job done by two crafters of fine models. They are very close in image, but why does the Trax have 2 rear bumper guards on each side of the bumper and the Goldvarg only has one on each side?

Obviously, the Trax 4 door is an Ausie car (right hand drive) so maybe that was an Ausie requirement?

Not sure, I am sure it's just a difference in the Australian style. I did find one on Google that shows that feature as well. It also shows the amber center light on the rear that the model has, but is not real clear in my photos.

Yes, they did. Two of them. One in Parisian Lilac, the other Wedgewood Blue.

Interesting that (I assume) in Australia the '62 Bel Air had three tail lights per side.
