Features Kustoms blues? I need to see some kustoms....

Not that I'm aware of. Are they a cut down '59 Impala taillight?

 

Thanx K13, never saw that thread...very interesting...

Always floored by this Kaiser Kustom

 

Daring to be different with the hidden headlights, the amount they sectioned the Buick is purrfect.

 

Hi Straykatkustom
Have you got any more pictures of this Buick or a link?

 

Couple more from the Sacramento show...

Thanks for posting the pics, would be kool to attend the show...

 

Thanx Mick, Sacramento used to be known in past years for all the kustoms that showed, it's not that way any longer...it's becoming simply a car show...Most of the "kustoms" were in the "Suede Palace" portion of the show...and that's where I shot most of the pix...

Merc "hardtop"...

"Suede" in the Suede Palace...!!!

Clean little '52 Chevy convert...

Not exactly a "kustom," but this woodie was nicely done...

Chopped '40 body with a '38 Ford front clip...work in progress...

 

Cody is on the HAMB as Cody Walls.

You probably are familiar with his incredible Chevy wagon. (Note the Buick Sombreros.)

 

Thank's Straykatkustom and Mo.

 

Nice looking Buick

 

Thought this was pretty cool...

 

You guys must have a libary of pictures at home. Very cool thumbs up.

 

Marcus Edell posted this on FB. To Kool not to share it..... CHP bust 1962. You can see the Jim Russell roadster I own in the first pic. Rod Powell is next to it with his back to the camera. Rod writes- "These pictures were taken summer of 1962. Our car club the “VIOLATERS” of Salinas was on the way to Bolado Park south of Hollister. We were almost there when the Highway Patrol had a roadblock waiting for us. It was a classic bust. The cop car was sideways across the road to stop us. We spent about an hour there while they wrote everybody up on fix it tickets. Jim Russell was in his 29 roadster and I was in my chopped 51 Merc. Jim & I got the most citations"

 

Great post!
Most of us are more familiar with Rod Powell's Merc when it looked like this.
