Out cruising yesterday, desperate for material for the week. This beauty was sitting at the side of the road in Forest Park. It is a restored 1959 Chevrolet Impala, a serious piece of classic Detroit iron. Strange, though, that General Motors named this model (it's still in use) after a slender and agile East African herbivore. This baby isn't any of those things.
We have a severe ice, then sleet, then snow, then plunging temperatures and howling wind storm moving in on us today. The clairvoyants say we may have .75 inch / 2 cm on ice on the ground by late tonight. Who knows, maybe I won't be able to get to work. May have to sit around the house, editing pictures and writing comments. But I'll probably get to work.
There's a photograph in need of a supply of Zoloft on Downtown St. Louis 365.

superbe cette Impala, un tres beau design
I'm not too sure about the colour but yes, that's a beauty allright.
I haven't forgotten, I've actually got a post-it sitting on the desk. It had disappeared for a while under a pile of paperwork. I did the paperwork yesterday and fished it out!
a classic - in every way!
Boy, that IS a beauty....we had a red one, but this metallic sort of green is great...probably not the original color, but who cares? Love it.
Nice !
Thanks for your comment
... thanks for your comment about Ikea. So Ikea hasen't reached the heart of your country eh? And Marie-Noyale says that the branch they opened in Larchmont ended up closing down so making it isn't as easy as it sounds.
What a beauty this is. I remember as a kid my dad had one of these in a sort of rosey red.
Now that brings back some memories! Stay warm!

That is one gorgeous car. I should look so good myself since I am vintage 1959 too!
We used to make beautiful cars. Now they all look the same!
Superb photos of an 'only in America' car!
This is such a classy way of going "green". We're also anticipating a humdinger of a storm. Stay safe.
Hahah awesome! This is my car. I have owned it for about 5 1/2 years and just had the paint and body restored in November. Next step is freshening up the interior.
I saw you taking these photos Sunday morning probably around 11:30. I was playing frisbee in Forest Park in the field adjacent to where it was parked. Nice shots! Enjoy!
