For 1960 Chevrolet toned down the Impala look a little bit and made the design a bit more conservative. Three modestly sized round taillights were placed on each side of the Impala and the nostril air intakes above the headlights were deleted entirely. With more than 490,000 Impalas produced for 1960, compared to nearly 60,000 built in its debut year, the Impala may have featured more chrome than Bel Airs or Biscaynes but it seemed to work in its favor as it was America's No. 1 seller. The 1960s model had a white band running along the rear fender along with nonfunctional air intake scoops and the slogan, 'Space, Spirit, Splendor'. Leading the Impala lineup at $2,847 was the Convertible Coupe, followed by the Hardtop Sport Sedan, Sport Coupe, and Four-Door Sedan.
This is the first issue from Revell and debuted in 1998. The kit features modern era tooling and is truly a jewel both in build ability and authenticity compared to earlier era Revell models. Build an American masterpiece!
