Hidden Headlights and Distinct Taillights

Hand built by Andrew Murray. When I asked Andrew about what were the taillights off of his reply was, "little German taillights" (a Porsche, in this case)
1960 Chevrolet Impala convertible
The Impala name was first used for the full-sized 1956 General Motors Motorama show car that bore Corvette-like design cues, especially the grille. It was named Impala after the graceful African antelope, and this animal became the car's logo.
The Impala became a separate series, adding a four-door hardtop and four-door sedan, to the two-door Sport Coupe and convertible. Sport Coupes featured a shortened roof line and wrap-over back window. The standard engine was an I6, while the base V8 was the carryover 283 cu in (4.6 L), at 185 hp. Optional were a 283 cu in with 290 hp (220 kW) and 348 cu in (5.7 L) V8 up to 335 hp (250 kW). Standard were front and rear armrests, an electric clock, dual sliding sun visors, and crank-operated front vent windows. A contoured hooded instrument panel held deep-set gauges. A six-way power seat was a new option, as was "Speedminder", for the driver to set a needle at a specific speed and a buzzer would sound if the preset were exceeded.
The 1960 Impala models reinstated three round taillights on each side, and a white band running along the rear fenders.
The available V8s were reduced to seven, in 283-cu in or 348-cu in displacements. The carbureted Turbo-Fire 283 cu in V8 could have either 170 or 230 hp. The 348 cu in was available in 250 to 320 hp with a 350 hp Special Super Turbo-Thrust with triple two-barrel carburetors, 11.25:1 compression ratio, and dual exhausts. Fuel injection was no longer an option on full-size Chevrolets. New to the options list was speed and cruise control. Production was 490,000 units.
My husband was pretty excited to see this rare 1948 car at the Geneva Concours 2015. The car owners were constantly wiping the rain off of their vehicles. We were happy to see the drops in our photos.

The classic Chevy Bel Air tail fin.
The black paint on this car lended itself to a darker edit. The chrome still shines.
I have been one acquainted with the night.
I have walked out in rain—and back in rain.
I have outwalked the farthest city light.
I have looked down the saddest city lane.
I have passed by the watchman on his beat
And dropped my eyes, unwilling to explain.
I have stood still and stopped the sound of feet
When far away an interrupted cry
Came over houses from another street,
But not to call me back or say good-bye;
And further still at an unearthly height,
One luminary clock against the sky
Proclaimed the time was neither wrong nor right.
I have been one acquainted with the night.

Rainy and cold today, I've even heard it's been snowing in the mountains and even closer to Calgary. Yuck, a good day to stay inside.
Playin along the road in the dark
This gets done a lot I know, but it is still fun to do.
I'll get around to your streams throughout the day!
