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

Wichita!

 

Wichita played an important roll with Kustoms and Hot Rods. Love how the Kustomrama article Mags, drags and Rock n Roll starts....

It didn't take a long time before show rods and custom cars started experimenting with Cragar S/S wheels. Chromed and reversed wheels had been a favorite for Kansas customizer Darryl Starbird since the late 1950s. From 1963, Starbird changed to wire and mag wheels, and the first custom to roll out of Star Kustom Shop on Cragar S/S wheels was his brand-spanking-new personal 1965 Pontiac Grand Prix. "The Pontiac was the first car he put them on," Donna Starbird told us in 2020. "They became a sponsor for us, and Darryl used them on cars after that up to around 1975."

You don't see to many Donna Starbird quotes.

 

Those full-length flame jobs look like someone took out a hotdog stand.

 

Are you sure it’s not the car that’s the hot dog stand? He he.

 

anthony myrick, that's funny.^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ That's my Mother and myself standing next to the 54 Chevy Convertible. Car was Gold, had an Olds with a stick. My Mother couldn't push in the clutch, so it was sold.
