I had a 1996 Impala SS in black that looked spectacular when it was detailed. When I decided to replace it with a 300C, I started out thinking I wanted black. But when I saw the Chrysler metal flake black in various lighting situations, it could look good or it could look very bad. Plus, the black color accentuated the excessive use of chrome on the car. With the silver color, the chrome doesn't jump out so much.
No offense to anyone who bought one in black. Color is a very personal choice. |
Dave,
Isn't it a small world. It seems that several of us "Old" Impala SS folks are moving to the 300C scene. We met at Dave Zemels home in Bloomington, Il several years ago when you had a brake clinic going on in his garage. It’s a shame that GM (Chevrolet) has lost us since they no longer build what we want. I enjoyed your writings about the 96 several years ago and I will be looking forward to your going through this car and your updates on it as you go. Are you starting to plan on going to Detroit next summer when the Merc’s, Impalas and 300’s get together? If you are I’ll see you there. In the mean time, stay in touch.
Mike
