History I dug some old shit out last week.

These are some of the pictures I own of Hershel JR Conway's Shoebox from the 1950's.. These have never been seen before Here is a color transparency of Golden Sahara This is a picture of a young Bill Hines doing some file work when he worked for George Barris. The Kustom is Shirley's Bird. A few contact sheet cut out photos of Sam Barris working his magic. This is an original early 1950's Barris Kustoms price list - catalog Contact strip of photos with the truck if this post works I will upload a bunch more. I also have an extensive collection of Ed Roth and Kenny Howard originals.. I'm just not too keen on how all this fancy ****on **** works on making posts.

I think that's the only picture I've ever seen of Bill Hines w/o a cigar hanging from his choppers.

I'd really like to see the inside of that Barris catalog, that's amazing. The unseen pics are great too.

 

Excellent stuff to discover...Thanks for sharing!
I was talking to Kenny Howard at the San Jose Autorama, 1955...my bud Jim Rose took a pic of us, (he was a 'bug' at pic taking)
Months later, R&C did a brief cover on "Von Dutch"! Wow!
Wish I still had that pic... There were a few others I wish I'd had pics of, too.
Tommy the Greek was one.

 

That's some great history @Germ...looking forward to more...thank you...

 

Thanks Germ. Love to see more.
