I think around the third picture there's an incorrect 1962 Chevy Impala.  Either it's a Bel Air converted to an Impala or much less likely that someone changed the roof.  The "bubble top" roof as they are sometimes referred to were only on the Bel Air in 1962.

I bit, and went and looked. It MOST DEFINITELY WAS NOT the 3rd picture. I finally found it, but saw nothing identifying it as either a Bel Air or an Impala. Did I miss something here?

I did like the orange colored Buick convertible. It looked pretty sharp!

This one.  Normally it would have four rear lights vice six and narrow trim on the body sides.  It's a hybrid.  Bel Air roof and Impala trim and lights.

Of course, you are 110% correct.  I am getting old and forgot all about the 2 and 3 tail light distinction.  But then my Chevy Bel Air only had 1 tail light per side.  Of course it was a 1955!

Nice cars. The thing which i like most in these cars is the wrapping or graphics work. I think these changes the entire look of the cars.

Wrapping/Graphics do indeed change the entire appearance of a car.  Is that big in Australia?  Here in the U.S. I only see it used as a means of advertising.  Is it used for other than advertising in Australia?  If so, how?  Any pics?
