This ’28 A, also channeled over the stock frame with mechanical brakes, has a nicer, straighter, painted body, a filled Deuce shell, and a 59A V8 with finned Edelbrock heads, twin carbs, and even a chromed generator. It’s hard to see, but it has a set of those rare “crescent” Du Vall caps on the front, and maybe big airplane(?) tires on the rear. But that sports-car-style cut-down, filled-in door and big puffy upholstery just kill the otherwise cool look.

Hello,
Joe Anderson’s original shop on 64th street, in Los Angeles right in the middle of what is now “South Central.” The neighborhood has changed somewhat since those early days.

66 years later the street is still there, the old post war stucco Spanish style homes are still there. A refurbished unit is these days is about 700k.

The custom paint shop was not the only shop in the area. It has been posted on the HAMB that several shops of note, made their home in the same area from the late 40s to the late 50s. Beradini Bros, Itow Automotive, Howard Cam, Harrell Brothers, etc.

About a half mile West of Ansen Automotive…

By the late 1960s, his shop had moved to Gardena, CA. Where most of us had seen the requisite sign at various car shows on hot rods and customs. “Colors by Joe Anderson”
