Those '65 Impala convertibles in the first photo are promotional models, which were handed out by dealerships to buyers/customers as favors/incentives.

My uncle sold Chevies, Olds, and Caddies and I remember he gave me a '56 to play with. I don't remember what happened to it or when, but I probably tore it up by the time the '58s came out.

You should be able to find a pretty good indication of their value by checking ebay. I'm sure they're worth more if you have the boxes. Wow, check this out: https://www.ebay.com/itm/1965-Chevrolet-Impala-Conv-Promo-graded-9-out-of-10-23794/382321990668?hash=item59042a9c0c:g:Hg0AAOSwVF1aQ9Q B

That seller has lots of dealer promo models of all types: https://www.ebay.com/sch/wheat/m.html?item=382321990668&rmvSB=true&hash=item59042a9c0c%3Ag%3AHg0AAOSwVF1aQ9QB&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2562

None of that other stuff is worth much of anything unless someone needs it for parts. That red '57 looks like a Cox .049 powered tether racing model. I have an old Chaparral 2C with the same undercarriage/engine someone gave me.
