A very well done, highly customized 1964 Chevrolet Impala was in the alley downtown, where a modeling agency was using it as a prop for a photo shoot. They had finished the photo shoot by the time I was leaving the office, but the car was still there. When the owner saw me walking up with my camera, he told me to please take as many photos as I would like. He took me around the car and explained some of the details, and the cost of the various engravings, all done by hand — only $50,000 dollars for the engraving on the chrome on the rear end and spare tire cover in the last photo.
Off Center & Not Even 
Lovely RED!!!!
Yes, it’s a great red. And even though I think I got it really close to the right color, it was even better in person.
It’s gorgeous!
Wow – gorgeous custom work, and beautiful color! And under the hood too! Mandolin Bros. in Staten Island, NY used to have a photo of a guitar with lots of custom inlay that reminds me of that car. Might still be there somewhere at

Didn’t see the guitar right of hand, but I’ve have seen fancy work on guitars. This car’s engraving was very well done.
I would be scared to drive the work of art.
I would too!
Wow, that’s impressive!!
I pass by it almost every day. I finally stopped and got a photo.
I’m not a car person, but even I recognize that is one sweet ride! The engraving detail is stunning. I’m too practical to ever own anything like that…. I’ll take a used car with dents already included 🙂
Thanks, Janna! I agree, cars like that are fun to look at, but they for other people to own and worry about as far as I’m concerned.
pretty color 🙂 i love red color ❤
Thanks, Leyla!
One sweet ride!
Looks like a “Low Rider” to me!
It’s a low rider. Thanks, Resa,
Gorgeous!
