@paul-rouffa I thought it was a joke when I got the announcement list.  It would seem to have a prospective market of one person. Not naming names here.

It is a joke.  Proportions and details are so far off.  Too bad.

@d-crowe I believe so too but it was on an announcement from Burbank House of Hobbies for Stamp and Matrix new releases.

Oh I believe it is a scheduled future release.  I mean it looks awful.  The proportions and details are way off.  I wasn't commenting on the color.

I agree! That absolutely hideous black top boot throws everything off. Otherwise, it would be a stunner!

The hideous black top? That's probably the least offending concern with that model. The photo definitely doesn't do this one any justice, but neither do the other two colors. I owned a '71 Impala hardtop and was excited to see a model coming - now I'll wait to see what comes of it after production.

I had a '73 4-dr hardtop; it was a nice, big comfortable car.    😉

I’ve always been incredibly fond of the 70s Impala and Caprice cars. I’ve had a 70 & 71 Impala and a 73 & 76 Caprice, they were all 2-doors. I had a 79 Impala sedan too, but it wasn’t in the same class as the others.
