In 1965, Chevrolet redesigned its full-size model lineup from the ground up…making their flagship models more aerodynamic and pleasing to the eye. This redesign resulted in over 2 million full-size Chevrolets sold during that time period…over 1 million of those units were Impalas – a sales record that still stands today. This review focuses on the Impala SS convertible which sported the venerable and potent 409c.i. V-8 engine, which met its demise mid-year and was replaced with the 396c.i. power plant.

For the modeler: Revell originally introduced the ’65 Impala hardtop and convertible kits back in the early 2000s. This particular kit is a re-issue of the original “long box” version of the convertible introduced back then, with the exception of the 396 mill being replaced with the 409. This kit features 136 pieces and full suspension detail with coil springs, “top-up-or-down” choices, a separate chrome windshield frame, soft rubber tires, a large chrome tree and both stock and custom decals. Full engine detailing and correct color choices; exhaust modifications for fit; suspension alignment; coil spring detailing; engine bay detailing; instruction error corrections; interior color choice and full detailing; applying foil accents; simulating a wood grain console techniques; windshield installation; correct exterior paint selection and finishing; are all fully examined in this 9 page, full-color Step-by-Step review.
