Goodbye Harley Davidson, Hello 1962 Chevrolet Impala Russell Guy Russell and Alicia Guy have visited Cruise Martinborough for a few years now on their Harley Davidson but decided last year that 2020 would be the year they drove in in their own car. “I have owned and operated a mechanical workshop for almost 17 years now so to say anything automotive is in my blood is an understatement,” says Russell.
“From fuel leaks to hydro leaks, everything needed work and it definitely sorted out the boredom of lockdown.”
“Alicia and I have two young girls - Payge and Paytin and as they get older and bigger the want for a family vehicle grew bigger so I set off to clean the Harley up for sale and the search began. I couldn’t bring myself to sell my Harley, so I kept it! “The 1962 Chevrolet Impala popped up on Trade Me and I called the seller instantly and bought it over the phone - sight unseen. “The vehicle was delivered a few days later. A week after that we headed into lockdown so I did what every man does - sunk myself into the garage, working on the car and the beer fridge in an effort to clean, fix,
improve and personalise the car. “From fuel leaks to hydro leaks, everything needed work and it definitely sorted out the boredom of lockdown.” Since then, the Impala has been involved in weddings, school balls and even the Petone Christmas Parade.
