    Ditch the visor and the rear window louvers and you've really got something! :D

    Such a beauty...The unusual two-tone just makes this car.
    I saw an early magazine (Custom Rodder) photo of the car, painted completely in a deep maroon (I believe shot by DaRosa?). Although it already sported its distinctive side trim, the car simply was not the sensation it was to become.
    Does anyone remember, or have a photo? (I think DaRosa's orange 4-door was in the same issue, if possibly not featured.) You may not have recognized it, nor thought twice about it!

    That's very interesting! It has been the "Bruce Geisler" truck for more than a half a century...and proudly so!
    Does the original grille still exist (and will it be used)?

    Starbird car show is this weekend in Tulsa, Ok. I'm so blessed to live by so much kustom history. Love these old Kustom show pics...

    Might they be '55 Chevy fender lips? I was going to put a set on my Fleetline a million years ago, but that project went down the road before it happened.

    Here's the original Zeppelin. Art Himsl owns it and is the one that built it to it's current state. All the fab work was done at Jim Howe welding in Concord CA. Howdy Ledbetter did the interior, and of course Art Himsl painted it.

    The first time I saw the Cool 50 was at Andy's picnic in Castro Valley at Crow Canyon park, maybe late 70's, and it was in primer. It was then painted Maroon. It's final and current paint is the candy red and silver. The interior is silver leather, or Naugahyde. Richard Zocchi had it built, showed it for awhile, sold it to show promoter Bill Larivee, Sr. in the ’80s. It's back in the Zocchi family again. Richard passed away a few years ago.
