Tiny Lund´s 1959 Chevy

Here is Tiny´s Chevy, not sure if here drove an Impala or a Biscane.

I posted this one earlier, so here it is again for the new boardmembers:

Very nice looking vintage stock car. Chrome trim and door handles, these were truly stock cars.

Wow! That's a super nice build Michael.

Another beautiful build, Michael. Super clean and the stance is just right. Shook's Transfer was the long-time sponsor of my dad's favorite driver back in the sixty's. Emanuel Zervakis drove a 59, 60 and 61 Chevy also sponsored by Shook. His 61 chevy was actually built by Rex White. I have that on my bucket list of cars to do. The gold foil numbers the car had has been holding me up because I would have to use gold bare metal foil to make them and that might be a bridge too far.

Great looking model! The 1959 Impala is one of my favorite cars ever built.

Thanks for your comments on the #88 guys!

Mark,
thank you for your infos on Shooks Transfer.
It´s allways got to get some background facts on driver, sponsors and cars.

I learned that the ´59 Impalas "batwings" lifted the rear of the cars at highspeed
and reduced the downforce wich make the handling of these Chevies difficult.

Beautiful build Michael - those old school car make great looking models when done right and this one is definitely done right.
