![]() Today's car of the day is Majorette's 1985 Chevrolet Impala. ![]()
![]() For more information and pictures of the real car please visit: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chevrolet_Impala ![]() The more well known Majorette classic. With almost an infinite amount of variations big and small, this cast has come a long way. <And now looks ruined on the new big wheels...[The one here is the classic edition]> Typical with dot wheels, extra springy suspension, opening doors, and the usual taxi/cop take. This one was part of my newest additions of the Impala, as I have/had several police and taxi variations. ![]()

What a coincidence... Just yesterday I picked Up another Impala taxi that I purchased in my country's Ebay. I just love the majorette impala and this particular model was the first I had some 20 years ago, I`m so happy to found this car (still in i`ts unopened package). Thanks for this post. ![]() ![]() ![]()

New casting? Quick! Take it apart!
|
Jermaine's classic version looks like a typical cab, looks like it's had a lot of hard miles (especially from all those smokers in the eighties who made the glass so yellow...) but it has the better scheme with black and yellow, while I like Diegomg's version because the graphics are more realistic with an overall yellow scheme, and the glass is CLEAR, as it should be. Hope I score at a swap meet/yard sale/ boot sale and someday find me one of these, in any condition. I'd keep it as is, if it's a cop or taxi version. |

It makes me sad, as this is the example I grew up with. I miss it so very much. |

There's a Novacar version with metal base and plastic body, that looks better than the Majorette does. Perhaps it's because the doors are cast shut. |
