History Custom Car builder Spotlight: GEORGE CERNY

This is not the actual Buster Litton Ford, but a "clone" built by Andreas Åberg from Sweden.
It does show how, or at least as close as how George Cerny did it on the Buster Litton Ford. Andreas near clone has the lip on the front wheel opening a bit different than the Buster Litton Ford. But the Studebaker front fenders where used just as George Cerny did.

All body work by Anreas Åberg

 

Thankyou Rik for the pics and the information. Andreas shoebox is very nice.

 

HISTORY LESSON TIME!!

Just bring this back up incase someone might have missed it.

 

Here is a photo of George Cerny from the Jack Stewart Collection.
In this photo George holds the old hood side of Jack Stewarts MG.
George did all the custom work on Jacks MG.

 

HISTORY LESSON TIME !!!!

Look these guys build cars that were CL***Y not TRASHY. Maybe for people will start building CL***Y CUSTOMS again.

 

History lesson time !!!!

 

Great customs!!!! These are not over chopped,looking broke on the ground, and flow from the front to the back. I love these threads!!

 

Great stuff here guys.

 

George Cerny, had the best eye in the biz I think!!

 

Sure would like to see any updates on the wagon or any of the survivors there might be. Cerney is one of the most underrated customizers there is. What great taste and style he had.

 

Plenty more on Cerny at Kustomrama: http://www.kustomrama.com/index.php?***le=Cerny's_Custom_Shop

 

I hope the resto is going well.

 

LOVE THIS THREAD!!

And I will be able to help shed some light because my close friend is George's grandson,and his father is the last remaining Cerny son .

And they have the historic Plymouth and are in the middle of restoring it.( photos will be coming)

They are going to trust me to share family photos and stories and facts for George's bio

I am excited to be able to do***ent the Cerny legacy

So look forward to it

 

That frontal overhang... If you pare back the angle of recess from the headlights, you get a nice Merc- ish thang..

 

Car Craft Magazine (Dec., 1955) ran an article ***led "Cerny's Body Shop RESTYLES '46-'48 Ford."

Pictured were George Cerny, Carl Cerny, and Roger Cerny (and others).

 

I thought I understood that Larry Cerny had built this '55 Ford some years ago. Is (or was) Larry George's son, or related in some other way?

 

My buddy(George Sr's Grandson) says Larry is his Dad's (George Sr's son) cousin.

 

So where are the pictures and history? Any update?
