    Texas Maid Impala, maybe?

    I recently purchased a Texas Maid aluminum runabout. From what I can find online, I think it's an Impala model. Does anyone know for sure?

    Thought I would throw a couple pics of the one owner I just bought. Guy bought it brand new when he was 16 years old. Had a good story and my wife and I just had to have it. 🙂 All original and I am excited to get it running again soon. It has been a few years as well.
