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

Nice car but look at that tree!!!!!

 

It’s about time I saw pictures of the Madam FiFi( spelling) clone In motion. Love love love it.

 

It was too kool to see the pics. Very happy to see it finished. Hope it makes it out to the Midwest.

 

The other day Rikster shared this kool post A couple of sketches Jim Roten created in the later part of the 1950’s as design proposals and studies for cars being Restyled at Riley Collins Custom Shop in Chico California.
Jim and Riley were close friends and they worked together on many projects. Jim’s sketches helped Riley’s clients see what they had in mind for their cars.

 

I just like this a whole lot. Ford Custom Caravan I think the whole set was called?

 

Would be kool to see the Ford Caravan rolling down the highway.

 

Ford Caravan seems right. That looks like Gene Winfield's Pacifica underneath of it. Which was built for the Ford Caravan in 62

 

And that appears to be a 1964 Galaxie lightweight car above the Cobra.
The slots in the grill inboard of the headlights are where the air intake tubes are.

 

Paging @OGLilE to the front desk.

 

I searched for a bit and came up empty....

 

Would be real kool to own it...

 

Ford obviously owned the cars and they sold the Custom Car Caravan to an Indy driver who died a few years later. It's not really clear if they sold the cars or just the name of the show but this article states that many of the cars were destroyed or donated to sub suppliers. If Ford kept the cars they probably treated them like concept cars hence the destruction.
