Description 1958 Chevy Impala

Corvette Car Show

Here is something I have been waiting for months to upload. This is the first upload of my "Tails From the 1950s" series. I don't know why but I love how the back ends of American cars were styled. They weren't just plan squares (ok some were) but it was automotive architecture at its finest. There were fins, circled lights, pointy lights, lights stacked on top of each other, huge bumpers, lights on fins, etc. As you can see there were many different styles of back end design. So I will be capturing those styles when ever I see them. I may even start enlarging it into other decades who knows.

The '58 Chevies were always under-acknowledged, but they were truly fantastic stylistically!

This picture is absolutly great! Now that you point it out, they were pretty outragious with their designs back in the day. Something else to consider is that cars took A LOT more time and effort to make back then too. It wasn't all just CAD drafting. Good work man.
