The Holy Trinity (1 of 3) - Boo-Berry Chevrolet Impala

LUGNuts' founder Lino Martins has graciously given me permission to replicate his series of automotive illustrations based on various mixed alcoholic drinks.

 

The fourth in this series is a Lego -model replication of 'Boo-Berry' - Chevrolet 1963 Impala Low-rider.

 

In Lino's own words.

 

"For the first installment of a holy trinity of cars I went with a 1963 Chevy Impala customized as a lowrider. Starting in Los Angeles in the 1940’s, lowriders are an important part of Mexican-American culture and often include flamboyant paint jobs and religious iconography. I figured Boo Berry would best serve as “The Holy Ghost” in my Holy Trinity of cars. Thin whitewalls, small 100-spoke gold rims and minor gold details completes the look nicely. This one features subtle luminescent orbs that some believe to be spirits, especially when appearing in photographs. Let me know what you think and stay tuned for more soon. Thanks for stopping by. Procreate and Apple Pencil."
