(Pics) 1959 Chevrolet Impala

Great pictures Mike of an excellent model at an affordable price.

I have the Vitesse in red.

great pictures Mike!

Matchbox reissued the Vitesse in white with a bit more detail. I have a project in mind for mine - stay tuned!

Very moody Mike. I have the Matchbox version of this one. I'll be interested to see what Harv does with it.

I did quite a few things with these Vitesse '59 Chevys somewhere around 1994-2003.   Shown are some transkits,  I think by Kagar,  and some may be "customized " by me.

Did somebody mention '59 Chevies?

Uh oh !  

John, before your certainly inevitable picture contribution,
let me show some of my 59s.
Maybe they will weaken the effect of your coming contribution a bit

@ralf, very nice, commendable even. But hardly up to the aesthetic apogee the 1/43 universe experienced when this precious jewel was introduced. As Burt Parks exclaimed upon its unveiling, "The world of artistic expression will never be the same!"

Oh yes, Burt Parks, I know him...

@jkuvakas  Sorry but for the sake of accuracy in your post John ......you misspelled apology (apogee)......I'm sure you meant "aesthetic  apology".

@ralf  Groucho says...."the secret word is revolting....as in the Chevy wagon looks revolting."
