    60 Impala

    lots of different things going on with this Impala. Some single stage, some base coat/clear coat, some panels were original, some horribly repainted.. i fought and learned. always challenging my skill set and looking to improve.

    VERY cool....that was top dawg in 1960 with the 335 HP 348 ci engine. My mother had a four door post with the straight six and powerglide. It couldn`t get out of its own way.

    Kinda thought it might have been the 283 CID. The 348/409’s were way cool but the the 283 really opened the door for the famous SBC.

    My Mom drove a 1959 Chevy Kingswood Wagon. Also had a straight six.

    My Dad called it "The Gutless Wonder."
