A 1/43 scale 1960 Chevrolet Impala convertible (top down) made by Brooklin.

This is a Limited Edition of 200. Notice the tachometer on the dash. All parts are diecast except the windshield and the tires (hood ornament, trim, hubcaps, mirrors, etc.).

Man STUTZ...that Impala looks SaWeeeeeeeeeeeet!

You just can't help liking that metallic maroon and white interior combo. From the color, chrome trim, white wall tires, etc...everything on that car seems to compliment itself.

THANKS for showin that baby off!:thumbsup:

Stutz,
Of all the models you've shown us so far, that one is probably my favorite. Wow! And only 200 of them too!

Thanks for the kind words StreetFreak and Zeb.

I have a few Limited Editions that are 1 of 100. Eventually I'll post them.

Please post some more pics of your 1/43 scale diecast cars. Myself, I enjoy looking at a single pic of a car with a brief description of the car. Pics of collections are impressive, but most of the time it's hard to appreciate the quality of some of the cars.

I wish I could take better pics of the cars that I post. I hope to improve next year with a new camera. Any suggestions for make and model camera to buy for really sharp close-ups?

Cool. I did an etching on glass of one of those in the same colors. But the top was up. If I can find a shot I'll post it.

I'll be looking forward to seeing it ClearHooter. It sounds nice.

I've looked at the Brooklin 57 and 59 Galaxies and was not pleased with the wrap around windshield treatment. They did a great job with this Impala. The 1951 Ford Victoria is currently my only Brooklin model. I think it is one of the best they have done. :thumbsup:

I also have the 1951 Ford Victoria made by Brooklin Jim. I really like it!

Thanks for posting here Jim.

Here's a 1951 Ford done as a police car by Brooklin.

And as a standard release by Brooklin.
