chevy impala 1963/64 best brand

[rotormotor]

Ok so went to a real size american carshow today, figure i need an impala in my cabinet now.

Looks like its 63/64 that caught my eye, ertl/american muscle seems to be about it available yes?

Else 1/18 ertl might checkout DM FM 1/24.

Edit, FM does a crisp 1/24 as long as I want silver..geez price us up there for anything not silver.

I think the best one were the 1:24 West Coast Precision Diecast (WCPD) versions.

I had the silver FM, it was not bad but its an old one with old tech.

In 43rd scale Brooklin makes a nice 61 (affordable), Motor city makes a 62 (very pricey), UH makes a 63 (Affordable), don't recall seeing a 64 and Sabra makes a 65 (somewhat pricey).

Maroon convt. in 1:43 is in the James Bond collection. So-so quality.

I looked up on my shelf and I had (3) 1964 Impalas made by American Muscle. Duh! Sorry I'm getting old.

Love that Regular 1-75 Casting of the Impala, have some variations of that model

Those WCPD ones are pretty tempting. I see the factory seconds on ebay..white/red/yellow/light metallic green hard choice

I stumbled across a pair of 1/43 Ertl/ AM black and blue on our local site so waiting to see if the low start bid means I succeed.

Is 1/18 AM one cheap but budget brand in large scale can look naff.

1964 is the year that floats me boat most..'63 a close second

Well, Lars you already know what 2 of them look like but here is the other red one... they only made 3.

Got me the two impalas for pocket money. Fingers crossed the detail is passable.

Anyone had any firsthand with the factory second WCPD being peddled on ebay?

[rotormotor]

Arrived and they both have shocking paintfinish on trunk AND bonnet...cracked/crazed on black and im thinking zincpest..sending em back

Old Ertls and zincpest seems to be familiar friends.
