KOOL KUSTOMS...
|
OK, if you're a purist, you may want to go back to the main page... But, if you're like me, they're ALL good. I may prefer most restored cars over their kustom counterparts, but when they're done right, I sometimes prefer the kustoms... Here are just a few examples my dad and I have run across over the years... |
|
 |
This is a famous, chopped 1941 Buick Roadmaster Convertible Coupe, built by George Barris... This car is now in the Kurt McCormick collection... |
 |
Here's a front view of the Barris Buick... |
 |
This is a very conservative kustom... It's a 1953 Chevy Bel Air, spotted in the early 1980's, at a KKOA meets in Springfield, MO... |
 |
Here's a radical 1956 Buick... The body on this one has been sectioned... |
 |
Here's an interesting old kustom... This pic dates back to around 1979, and was taken at Six Flags over Mid-America... It's a 1956 Chevy, with 1958 Lincoln headlights, and a '58 Buick grill... |
 |
This little '57 Chevy convertible was actually built from a '57 and a '59... |
 |
Here's a 1940 Mercury coupe... I think this car is owned by Dave Conrad... |
 |
Note the Matranga / Hirohata style window treatment.... This pic dates back only about 3 years... |
 |
Somebody has been watching too many old Munsters episodes... This pic was taken sometime in the '90s... |
 |
Here's the famous Jack Walker clone of the Hirohata Merc... |
 |
This one was spotted about 15 years ago at a KKOA meet... Jack's attention to detail is magnificent on this car... |
 |
Here's the great Ed Lepold "King of Mercs"... This chopped 1950 Mercury is one of the nicest I've ever seen... This pic dates back to around 1997... |
 |
They don't get much lower than this kustom 1956 Lincoln Premiere... |
 |
I like the color scheme on this car, as it's very similar to the colors on my Kaiser... |
 |
This wild kustom probably started out as a 1948 Chevy, but anymore, who can tell? |
 |
Nice 56 Packard taillight treatment.... |
 |
This neat little kustom, wearing '53 Buick headlights, is actually a 1953 Oldsmobile coupe... This pic was taken around 1979 or '80, at another Six Flags show... Where is it today??? |
 |
This 1965 Riviera looks a lot like a Barris Kustom job... This one was spotted at another Kustom Kemps of America meet, back in the 1980's... |
 |
This wild 1939 Graham sharknose coupe is flawless.... This one was featured in a few magazines several years ago... |
 |
Here's a former Kurt McCormick car... This little shoebox Ford was still in primer around 1979... |
 |
Here's a 1950 Ford Coupe spotted at the big Hoosier Meet around 1981... This one has a nice teardrop rear fender well treatment. |
 |
Here's another neat little shoebox, spotted in the late 1980's or early '90s... |
 |
Here's another Jack Walker car, spotted about 10 years ago... Look closely at the details. This is an amazing car... |
 |
Everything about this mid 1930's Cadillac Victoria Coupe is just right... |
