    I was not a fan of the El Capitola until I saw the feature in Kustoms Illustrated magazine. Radical kustoms are so kool because they stretch the imagination. For more pics of the El Capitola, Kustomrama has a good feature and background information check out this link http://www.kustomrama.com/index.php?title=Don_Fletcher's_1957_Chevrolet


    Check out the kool detail pics....

  3. I remember an article in Classic and Custom a zillion years ago showing pics of it and the current owner was keeping it a garage for her grandson. Hard for me to choose which I like better, the gold or the pink it is now.

    Simple and clean. The interior in this Merc was maroon leather and probably one of the best I'd ever seen...
