Projects Pink-ish Customs

Hey guys,
I'm looking for Pink/Lavender/Purple/Lilac/Magenta Customs.
Preferably built to late 50's style.
I have an archive of images already, but wanted to put the feelers out and see if i had missed any.
This is inspiration for my own mild custom 53 chev HT.

If anyone has any more photos of the pink 40, please share! Thats a huge influence so far.

 

There are a lot of great ones out there. Some of these are more '60s than '50s, and some are more purple than pink-ish, but here a few that jump to mind...

Jimmie Vaughan's Chevy


The first few versions of McPhail's old Chevy


McPhail's '60 Ford


Trawick's "Elektracutioner" Buick


Lee's Nomad


The early version of Cole Foster's "Blue Chevy"


This wild Buick that Winfield painted (and I think it's in Japan)


Wertheimer's Cadillac


And if you want PURPLE, Doug Vaughn's Chevy rules

 

These pics are from my folder entitled: "I'm gonna build a cool Kustom for my wife someday."

• The Riviera is Bill Ganahl's (South City R&C).
• The '57 4-door & Corvair are stockish Chevy colors.

 

My old 54 Chevy. Custom mixed pale lavender Pearl, and Candy Purple.

 

D'Agostino's "Rita"



D'Agostino's "Caribbean"



Zocchi's '61 Olds

 

59 El Camino customized in 1960

 

The search term "mauve" can bring up additional examples.

Not that I've been looking at pink cars or anything...

 

A few that I have taken photos of.




Not quite a Kustom in some folks book but the requested color.

Love 'em!!

 

Maybe @Nads will post his el camino

 

I have always loved the pink/purple hues on customs. Every time I have said I'm painting something pink, everybody laughs & tells me I'm stupid & it'll look like ass. But, every time I have, they had to say they were wrong. I think when you say "pink," everybody assumes it's Pepto-Bismol, and "purple" is always plumb crazy. There's so many shades of colors, that people just never think of.

 

A very cool thread !!

 

My slightly chopped El Camino

Here is a favorite of mine , unfortunately I think it was in a fire , dont know its current state , a very beautiful kustom ! Wolf

 

Eew...

 

A little Pinkish… and a little bit of everything.

 

TinWolf, Joe Moreno car in the 90's, burnt in late 90's, where is it now? I'm wondering if all those Strombergs attributed to the fire. I saw the car in person when it debuted at the Oakland Roadster show, it was beautiful. Never saw it run, and not sure it did run. I don't know if it was repaired after the fire, or how bad the fire was.

 

TinWolf,

 

That Pick-Up is so bad ass!!
