5 Cars of the Past, Rebuilt Today

3. Impression

The smooth headlamps, oblique grilles and low windshield fulfilled the looks of ‘Impression’ to become a favorite car of all time.

The story behind this car started at a dinner table with a pen and a dinner napkin. Ken Reister, while having dinner, sketched out the designs of this car. It took him 7 years to bring his design into reality.

The resting model of this car was the perfect design for the roads in the mid 30s. Somewhere, it resembled to the 1936 and the 1937 Ford cards with a sleek and longer body built.

Upon completion of the design, Impression started attracting car lovers across America and was declared to be the ‘America’s Most Beautiful Roadster’ and was also awarded with the ‘Detroit Autorama Ridler Award’. These two awards were the most reputed awards during those days and Impression was the winner of both of these.

Soon after these epic wins, plenty of changes were incorporated into this car. Impression was bejeweled with more than 4,000 hand-built parts.
