Timeline 1958: Yes, I remember those days as an ornery 9 year old at the time and the 1958 Chevrolet Impala was my most favorite car of all time! It was also the very first year for the Impala badge that is even in use today by Chevrolet. I had the pleasure of owning a 1:1 1958 Chevrolet Impala Sports Coupe in 1983-85. It was a dream come true! The Revell ’58 Impala pictured here in this review is a 99% correct replica of the actual vehicle I owned; only difference is that my Impala had a single 4-barrel carb whereas the kit has a tri-power setup. I chose to build this kit as a stock offering to represent my car.
For The Modeler: – This Revell 1958 Chevy Impala 2 in 1 kit #85-2073 is a skill level 2 with over 143 parts count in white, clear and red colored plastic. This particular kit has more than enough parts to build an accurate stock vehicle or a beautiful crusin’ low-rider custom version. This plastic model kit was originally a diecast offering by Revell. In doing this crossover from diecast to plastic, Revell had to change a few parts to accommodate the plastic construction. For accuracy – trunk modifications are detailed as well.

Nice looking Impala Todd!! I gotta ask you though Ive never used the Testors window clear glue infact I didnt know it existed Ive got some clear body kits and would love to build them but Ive never came across anything Ive liked to build them with because they yellow with a short time of age so I just leave them in the box thats ok there pretty high price older kits and I just want them to be nice if I ever do build them. Normally if a windsheild is in a tight spot were glue could be seen I use scotch tape on the fine edge then attach to the body but a clear body with the windsheild what do you do?? If you can help drop me a line even though I build for right on replicas myself its funny you can find something new to try from other builders
Tony, thanks for the comments. The Testors Clear (part #3515C) Clear Parts Cement has always worked great for me on so many of my projects. It does go a long way as it takes so little to do the job.
Enjoy! – Todd
