Who built this and when

Does anyone one know the history of this custom chevy?

When was it first built, rebuilt, where is it today etc?

Thanks

 

wow...

 

The tags look like it is/was registered in CA.

 

It's "The Chevillac" by Doug Thompson, build in the mid 80's I think. No idea of current history...

 

This is owned by Jack Walker of Belton Mo. Doug Built the car for a friend of Jack's who has since p***ed.

Thanks Epinut, Chopp47 & Striper.

I looked under Doug Thompson on Riksters site and found more photos (here for those interested - http://public.fotki.com/Rikster/11_car_photos/beautiful_custom_cars/doug_thompson/49_chevy_ht/)

Would be interested to here more about Doug Thompson as the guy is clearly very talented, is he still building customs?

 

Indeed built by Doug Thompson who can be seen here on the left. I think the guy on the right is Chopolds (but not sure about that)




The car was also the first winner of the Harry Bradley design Achievement awards (1986)


Perfect custom... from every angle

 

YES PLEASE

 

I just wet myself...................
