Art & Inspiration Traditional images that need no explanation.

There is so much custom car innovation involved with this car, it would take a small book to enclose it all -- from hydraulic lifts (yes, I know) to bubble tops. (I'd surely buy the book.) I've always been partial to the history as most of it centered around the San Bernardino area.

(I was so-so cool with my V-8, 6-pot '29 Roadster cruising the main drag one weekend, but what did I see? -- this beautiful space-age bubble-topped lavender and pearl image approaching, gliding along the street in some magic way.)

-- and the hydraulic lift story is all so true and a great one. Someone please find it and share it with us all.

Good I put the Or Not disclaimer in!

When you read the story, it mentions Carl Burnett. I remember carl Burnett at Hershey many years ago wearing an army surplus olive drab overcoat, and a straw hat with a broken brim. I asked Carl if he was trying to shop incognito as many people would not recognize him. He just smiled.

 

No, Walt Knoch.

 

What a beautiful set up. And extremely rare, too.
