Beautiful done Impala Karyn. Love when you add the details that are missing from the kit. Thanks for sharing this build with us and see you Sunday. GOD BLESS 🚂💖🚂💖🚂💖🚂💖
Wow! Great job!! I was born in 1958, and the first car I remember was our 1960 Impala Super Sport 2 door coupe White with Red interior! Loved that car! Your model reminds me of our Impala!
Back in those days the cars evolved a little bit every year. I lived through some of that era and was around the cars a lot because my father owned a repair shop. I had my preferences on the models I liked, and the features of some of the models. Now 60 years later my preferences have softened a little bit and I like more models now. You've done a very good job recreating that model.
I want to thank you guys for getting me back to building models. Looking for ...the Patty wagon..red Baron.many more.i better get a second job ha ha ha . fantastic work as always . Have a great week
I recently bought this kit , so glad I stumbled upon your video, I'm going to make it in blue ( had a red option). Might delete the seat belts. Enjoyed the presentation 😊
This is a very well done model. Excellent details, patience with the fine scale, especially on that dashboard and the gauge package ! I'm an HO scale modeler, and your work ( with your Husband ) is to be commended.............Bill S.
She actually has arthritis pretty badly in her hands. But doing things like this is great therapy! All the way around in fact! It’s fun it’s relaxing and it helps. Keep fingers nimble.
Karyn, this is amazing! Love the seat belts! Gauges are also detailed. Dice a nice touch. Windshield top shade and the blacktop parking lot are some other nice touches. Way above my skill level. I wonder if one last touch might be adding black into the tail pipe holes to give it more dimension and look of a running car? Love the channel and anything to do with cars! Thanks for sharing.
I love this channel both of you! I absolutely love the progress on your 1:20.3 scale layout you’ve made me want a Connie! And I’ve jumped back into model railroading full tilt!
Thanks so much! We sure enjoy building models! Working on the Railroad is very satisfying. Do a little thing here on a little thing there overtime it really starts to grow into something. When we look around ourselves at all the crazy stuff we’ve built it’s a little overwhelming.
Very nice one of my annt and uncle had one in metallic sky blue we kids got one ride in it with the top down I think it was summer and beautiful ride. Reminds me so much of that car.
Realy enjoyed this vid, it's great to listen to fellow model builders,last proper model I built was a 1/24 Monogram 1979 Pontiac Firebird Turbo,that was around 1979-80 and now I wish to restart that hobby I left so long ago,you have done a great job on the Impala. Best wishes.
Hi, Great to hear from you,yes im hoping to start soon, probably the 65 revell Mustang,im aiming for single color as want to replicate the old dealership style models firstly but thereafter do some more detailed ones, as a teen in 70s UK it was a real treat to get a Monogram model and I also built the Ford Capri, Triumph TR7 and some others, I later worked in American car spares in the early 80s even owned a Pontiac GTO 1970 Ram Air, that was super quick plus some English Rover V8s with there copy of the Buick 215 engine. I also follow Steve Magnante and his model builds,some he just glues together no paint, others super detailed and altered wheel base models some home made. Really enjoy your channel and send Best Wishes to yourselves and fellow viewers.
My dad had a 1 to 1 (real) scale 59 Chevy. He said that it was the worst car he ever owned. Once while traveling (at about 60 MPH) we were hit by a sudden cross wind. It literally spun the car around into the wind and across the country road we were on. An urban legend was that that strange rear fin arrangement was actually slightly aero dynamic and the faster you went the lighter the rear traction got. Still, Karyn that is a nice model, good job. ;-)
I remember when the 1959 impala was criticized for its tail fins. One complaint was that the sharp fins could be lethal. We kids mostly laughed at that charge.
Well I could tell a story here. Long story. Screwing around. Stitches. Lots of blood. Lots of stitches. Not the fins. The arrow heads on the front fender.
If I remember from Rare Classic Cars and Automotive History, GM management was shocked by the announcement of the Chrysler Forward Look of 1957. They needed to completely redesign the 1959 models to be more progressive. The plan had been to slightly upgrade the 1958 models for 1959.
Karyn was just mentioning that the car probably would’ve been better except it had it come out in 1960. Had the 60 been in 59 and the 59 the 60 we’re betting the whole thing would’ve been much more successful. Do you remember the Fisher guild? they had a competition for high school kids to design cars. the winner of the competition got a college scholarship. Also, most of those winners went to work at Fisher and General Motors in the design department. I bring that up because that is where the 59 came from! One of these high school kids designed a car that looked quite similar to the 59 and ended up designing the 59 for General Motors, and Fisher body. We did a show on the guild. Still around however they stopped the competition years ago. But the winners and others still meet once a year.
First thing I noticed was The Feliz Chevrolet plate. Nice touch.
Right on!

Right on. A friend had one of those. 396. Went like hell. Looked amazing.

Adding plug leads as you say does make the noticeable difference. Looking good.
Hi. And THANK YOU!

You did a masterful job on this model Karyn - You must have very steady hands!

@@ToyManTelevision Amazing work! And I love seeing that “we never grow up” spirit in you both!
I had a girlfriend who had a convertible that was just like your model. This was in 1962 . Great work Kayren especially details like plug wires.
Thanks! 👍

Nope. Final touch is drill it out so it’s a tube. Watch tomorrow.
Very nice Impala Karyn

Oh wow! Convertible. Da best! Love to have that.

Glad you enjoyed it. Do you start again! We can’t think of anything funner than working on a model at the bench. So satisfying.

❤ your modelling and the history it comes with.
🙏 Thank you 😊
Karen: You forgot the graduation tassel! I had a classmate in high school that owned an Impala. Long story there. Brought back memories.
Dale: You and Karyn are very modest. You both in your own right are expert modelers. Just look at your garden railroad!
Wow, thanks!
@@ToyManTelevision Meant sincerely and in no way a platitude.
Very nice!
Thanks!
looks great K...
Thanks 👍oh.. and Hi!👋
WOW
Thanks!!!

Yep. I had a 59 Chevy Biscayne. Traveling about 60 mph, the back of the car lifted from the road and moved a few feet to the left, then set back down.

I Learned to drive on a 59
Me too! My first car. Well. I guess my third. But the first one I drove on roads.
Such a shame about GSL last year. Once they go, it’s hard to come back. Hope someone carry’s it on.
I’m sure some other show will emerge, it won’t be the GSL, it will be totally different, but I’m sure it will be wonderful

The engine is a 348, not a 327
Right. Mine was a 283.
