I remember building this kit some years ago, so I somewhat knew what to expect from it despite my rather foggy memory. The last issue came in a rather low, long box as opposed to the re-issue’s normal-shaped box. The ’59 Impala spun off the ’60 Impala, also packaged in the unusual box.

For the modeler: I wondered how they would retrofit the parts trees for this box. It seems Revell pulled it off quite nicely. The instruction sheet contains a glossary of part numbers with their corresponding identifications. Dealing with “Pretzel Logic”, scratch building a radio mast, custom foiling the taillights, use of metalizers and a preponderance of clamping issues are fully explored in this review.
