Hope it helps!
Problem is that it's really a 1965 Impala and it's really 1/25 scale since Hasegawa merely copied the bodies of 1/25 scale American car models of the time ('65 Impala, Buick Electra, Pontiac Bonneville, Cadillac Coupe DeVille, '66 Thunderbird). They're very old models, and while the body detail is good, the interiors and chassis are generic. Don't be mislead by the name "Hasegawa", because these kits are nothing like newer kits.

1/25 was the standard for American car models, hence the lack of 1/24 Impalas in styrene.
