Engine wired and plumbed. PPG green, Duplicolor black, Transtar clear
Wow! You did a beautiful paint job on that model!
I loved the styling of that car. That was when they all had intriguing features, and every brand did not look like every other. For instance, the rear end view is really unique and attractive.
Care to tell us how you got such a nice, glossy finish?
I agree, the fit and finish on this model is outstanding. I particularly enjoyed the realistic engine compartment detailing. Hopefully, one day I can reach your level.

beautiful model
Hey!
My Dad had one of those and a Four Door Flattop! The hood on his Two Door wound up fitting like that after the springs broke one frosty morning! You, Sir, did that model Justice, A Fine Job on everything and a clean build too!
Just a later note( Father’s day) Did you know that at Freeway speeds the Impala stern had a tendency to lift. There-by causing tire adhesion problems. That’s why the Sixty Had a stubbier cut in under the fins?
Beautiful! My favorite car fron the '50s, mainly because I learned to drive on a '59 Chevy, running it up and down the beach at Freeport, Texas. It was not the Impala but the low-level Biscayne, a fleet car assigned to my dad courtesy his job. We even took it on a cross-country trip to Southern California in August 1959 and suffered due to its lack of air conditioning.
Those cars were HUGE; there was almost enough room in the trunk to live in.
Some thought the styling of the '59 Chevy was bizarre; one reviewer called it “the Martian war chariot.”
Beautiful job.
Excellent job! I agree with all of the comments that have been posted already. Love the color scheme especially.
That is so awesome. There is tons of detail and it is beautifully executed. Nice work. And yeah, that is a classic car.

Very nice work! Love it!
Had my choice of a '59 or '60 and chose the '60 because a friend had a '59 and complained about the rear lifting at high speed. I was going to race it and didn’t want to take a chance.
