Top Custom

Tony, the Ron Dunn car still exists and is at SAR in Portland. The front end of the car in the pic was damaged shortly after it was completed and restyled during the subsequent repair.



but you know I'm biased for this Valley Custom car.

​

 

thats dope! never seen this car

 

What do mean built ?? The year of the car ? Or the year that all the custom work was done to it ?

 

Thanks, Larry. I'm aware that the Dunn car survives and is being restored; my question was whether anybody knew the fate of the Litton car.

 

The year the car came off the assembly line.

From the OP:

... so Matranga's '40 Merc doesn't "qualify" in the context of this thread.

 

The "Grapeveine" because sometimes less really is more.

 

Buddy Alcorn merc (early stages) or Miss San Pedro. Its a tuff one.

 

Just went to the peterson museum on saturday and I saw this valley custom in person for the first time.

 

many that i like but i chose these 2

 

If I had to pick one from the 1950s era it would be "The Hawaiian"..or better known as the Hirohata Merc.

 

Larry Ernst`s first version.

 

The HUDSON from Down Under has to be very near the top of my list--



Just very clean flowing lines.
