1961 Chevrolet Impala Sport Coupe by Brooklin

The Chevrolet Impala was a full-size automobile built by the Chevrolet division of General Motors from 1958.
The 1961-1964 Chevrolet Impala Sport Coupe introduced America to the concept of a sporty full-size car. Up to that time, the sporty full-size car was a virtual oxymoron: two concepts that just didn't work together. With its Super Sport edition of the restyled 1961 model, Chevrolet was out to change that perception.  The new body styling was more trim and boxy than the 1958–60 models. Sport Coupe models featured a "bubbleback" roof line style for '61, and a unique model, the 2-door pillared sedan, was available for 1961 only. It was rarely ordered and a scarce collectible today.
 Common knowledge for Chevy fans is the tailight configuration. The Impala was distinguished for many years by its symmetrical triple taillights, all other models had two lights on each side.
Brooklin Models only makes this beautiful coupe. Sleek lines describe the Impala name (name from the southern African antelope). Advantages of the model is well balanced shapes and proportions,  nice original color Roman Red with white stripes. Handicap - the lack of chrome details.
This beautiful model from the years 1993-2000 I bought on eBay for £ 33.00.
