It's great to see old-timer's still in the game.
Russ Meeks' Ford...



Graybeards will remember Russ Meeks' sectioned Nomad, built in the Sixties.
(It's another classic that is still with us!)

Among his many other builds was John Corno's 1972 AMBR Award winning, rear-engined, reverse-tilt bodied, full-fendered Model A roadster. .

 

quite a few of his cars are still around. The nomad was in restoration last i heard, but its current status i am not sure of.

 

SWEET !

 

Is this the same car as the four door sedan as shown above??

 

Any more info on this? its fantastic!

 

Maybe find more info on
Kustom Paul Instagram. He built the car.

Saw it or its twin at the Twin City Idlers show last year in Stanwood, WA. It is one of those ideas that sounds great until you see it in person. At least that was the general consensus

 

Starbird's '55 Ford, 'The Majestic'.......

 

I've seen the Rivvy headlights grafted on a few cars and the only one that looked like it "might" work was on a mid to late 60's Caddy ragtop

 

My favorite, hands-down!

 

Okay, I have to admit that's pretty cool too.

Wow the emperor of Japan was into custom cars?

 

This is Ted Leventhal's recreation of the car he had built for him in 1955!
Hence the name "the LAST HURA".

The Mel Pinoli paint job on the original car (below) is widely held to be the first ever Candy paint job!
(Bailon is famous for his Candy Apple Red.)

 

corrected spelling, spell check changed it, I did't catch it.

 

Looks like the original may have been more olive green, or it could just be discoloration of the old magazine image.

 

You should probably check his first name spelling as well.
