That's right you're building a 53, that decal is for a 56. Sorry. Speedway Decals made that.

No worries! It looks okay.

Two door...AMT kit. Impala SS. I am not really a Ford or Chevy guy, but Chevy killed it with the mid-50s and the 67s. I think a "dream" car would be a 69 Chevelle SS .... But alas, it will likely morph into a Yugo.
