CLASSIC 1961 CHEVROLET IMPALA AT CLASSIC BETHESDA THEATRE (PHOTOS)

Last week, Fleming's Ultimate Garage of Rockville displayed a vintage 1961 Chevrolet Impala SS by the historic Bethesda Theatre (now known as the Bethesda Blues and Jazz Supper Club).

They don't make 'em like they used to. The Impala hasn't had much style since the mid-90s Impala SS. And while several new movie theaters are under construction in Montgomery County, none are a true movie palace, which the Streamline art deco Bethesda Theatre is.

As both show, with good maintenance, classic icons don't have to be demolished.

Fuzzy dice included!

ONLY ONE BETHESDA BUSINESS OFFERS THE GIFT OF GODZILLA FOR CHRISTMAS (PHOTO)

Give the gift of Godzilla - as the Nissan GT-R is known - from Chevy Chase Nissan in downtown Bethesda.

The GT-R is the spiritual successor to legendary Japanese sports cars like the last-generation Toyota Supra, and Mitsubishi 3000GT VR-4.

All three feature timeless designs that suggest no specific decade -  designs that innovate, rather than ape other classic cars.

Like the VR-4, the GT-R features a twin-turbo V6. But at nearly 3 times the price, the GT-R is a true supercar.  545 horsepower. 0-60 in 2.7 seconds.

With stats like that, the GT-R really will treat vehicular challengers to a Godzilla-style beatdown.

The showroom Christmas tree sets quite a scene, with this GT-R in its most flattering color - black.
