Lot #792.1 - This amazing show piece began as a '62 Impala hardtop. Derick Samson then began by removing the roof and windshield top frame. An all steel construction process took place including the roadster body theme which includes a handmade package tray with two rear bucket seats molded into a headrest. A 1950 Chevrolet dash was widened 8" and includes handmade trim and one-off gauges. A one-off ultra leather interior rests inside the futuristic body. Custom-designed glass now creates an essence of movement at all times. The body was cut, wedged and widened 1" to exhibit full proportion from removing the roof. A 350cid engine rests inside an all handmade engine bay. Custom valve covers reading "Emerald SS" add to the elegance of the creation. A 350 transmission, round tube suspension and Air Ride finish the bottom of the show car polished undercarriage.
