1:18-Scale 1961 Chevrolet Impala Diecast Car Collection

When Chevrolet unleashed the Impala Super Sport in 1961, it was immediately clear that it was no ordinary family cruiser. As Chevy's very first car with the Super Sport package, it was a ticket to high-performance heaven, with a monstrous 6702.3 cubic cm V8 engine at its heart. With 360 horsepower and 409 lb-ft of torque, this V8 was a powerhouse that could rocket the Impala from 0 to 96.6 kph in just over 7 seconds - a blistering pace for the time, making the SS 409s the fastest cars in the world in the early 1960s! Only 142 of these machines were built. And now, with this Chevrolet Impala diecast car collection, you take home two forms of this incredibly rare and iconic muscle car. Introducing the Super Sport 409 Impalas Diecast Car Collection, an exclusive production run presented by The Bradford Exchange. This collection begins with Issue One, 1961 Chevy Impala SS 409 Hardtop Coupe. Next to arrive will be Issue Two, 1961 Chevy Impala SS 409 Convertible to complete your collection. Each issue will arrive separately.‡

Precision-engineered with over 200 individual parts, each diecast car in this collection is precisely scaled to a collector-preferred 1:18 scale to capture all the important details. Issue One boasts a classic bubble top roof and a factory-correct Tuxedo Black paint finish, while Issue Two showcases an open convertible form and is hand-painted in Roman Red. Their hoods and trunks open to reveal authentic recreations of the legendary 6702.3 cubic-cm "Giddy Up" big block V8 engine and roomy trunks. The doors on each of these 1:18-scale diecast cars open to reveal a detailed interior, complete with a chrome-plated "Four on the Floor" shifter, factory-correct Rallye gauges, sporty red and white ribbed vinyl seats and an authentic two-tone steering wheel. Plus, genuine "Super Sport" emblems and badging, as well as rolling rubber tires, complete these high-power presentations. Each model is fully authenticated, certified by Chevrolet, designed and manufactured to the highest standard. Intense demand is anticipated, so don't delay. Order now!
