1965 Chevy Impala from the November 2012 California Car Cover

For those of you who have recently received your November California Car Cover catalog you will recognize this 1965 Chevy Impala from the front cover. The vehicle belongs to local customer Bobby Jackson of Ventura, Ca. California Car Cover and I were thankful that Bobby was able to drive his Impala over to our photo shoot.

Bobby started with a stock 1965 Chevy Impala back in 2005 and it took him a few years to complete the full restoration. The Chevy features Ferrari Red paint and custom leather interior by Superior Upholstery. Brandon Echols did the paint and bodywork. The Impala features numerous upgrades to the brakes, wheels and suspension.

 Under the hood is a 383 stroker engine backed by a 350 transmission.

 Below is the California Car Cover November catalog cover. Bobby wanted to give a special thanks to his wife Alisa and his friend Alan Palmer for all the help on the project. We hope that you enjoy all the photos.

1967 Chevy Nova From Our November Catalog

We traditionally select red or green vehicles to feature on the November and December catalog covers to maintain a Christmas feel. I was at a local show looking for a cool, red vehicle for one of the California Car Cover catalogs when I came across a very cool 1967 Chevy Nova. I have been a big fan of the Chevy Nova for many years and have one at home in my garage, though it is not as trick as this one.
The car owner, Ricky Woolstenhulme, and I began talking and scheduled a time for him to bring the car over to the studio. I thought the Viper Red paint would look great on our catalog cover. I was glad that we could fit the photo shoot into his schedule as he is on the road quite a bit. Ricky plays drums in the rock band Lifehouse and is often on tour.
Here are some of the photos from the time at our studio. The Chevy Nova has a small block Chevy engine, Ride Tech air ride, Viper Red paint and large Billet Specialties wheels.
