Cool thread! My junk has been posted 'Too Much', around here.. But I look forward to seeing others cars! 62 bubbletops, are really one of my favorites!

 

Here's mine.

 

I used to park next to a 2dr 61 Impala everyday, when I worked for Ford. I got hired just because of my 55 Chevy, at the time. That car also got me a job at Super shops #1, too! Hot damn, I love old cars

 

I had a '55 Chevy 4-door wagon with a 348. Cut it apart and made it a 2-door wagon shorter than a VW Bug. Decided I'd try it on my '59 Cadillac 4-door.Cut up a plastic model first to see what it would look like. Discovered issues with the "x" frame design and much needed fabrication. Sold the '59 instead. There is still a bulge in my garage door to this day from it being so long. Sure would have been the neatest "SHORT" with the tallest fins to ever grace a Cadillac.

 

Here's a few pic's of X-frames owned some old some new.

62 Impala SS w/hopped

 

Man, I love these cars!

 

Here's a few of mine. The black 63 was original unrestored except the wheels. It had 50K original miles on it.
The blue 63 is a barn find that i redid everything but the paint. that was a 327-300 4 speed SS. Both sold.
The blue 62 is one i just finished a frame off on. 409 4 speed bench seat with air ride. Got a couple hundred miles on it already ironing out the bugs etc..Very fun car!
The maroon 63 is next on the list. Numbers match 409 glide car. This one is identical to the one my dad bought new aside from the motor. His was a 327-300 4 speed bench car.
I bought the maroon 63 from a fellow HAMBer back in Jan due to the Impala thread that was started a while back. Because of the connection with my dad's original one, this one is very important to me.

I have a serious illness with these cars...i love em.

Verrrrry nice. You need to put an album of it in your profile. If you do that I won't plagiarize your grill treatment

 

I sold the flattop but still have the sedan.. It now has a white roof.. Next summer I am lowering it with a kit from Jamco..

 

here is my '61

 

Go ahead and use it, I have pics of the making if you want to see it better, there is 222 knobs used in it and I have about 15 hours making it. Made a folder in my profile with grille pics.

 

Here are a few pics of my '63 Biscayne....(work in progress)
Cheers,
Bob
