Re: Picture Thread:Golden Era Customs
You know, I have never understood the attraction to spot lights on customs. Singles or duals. Dummys or working ones. That used to be used a lot in the 50s and 60s.

Re: Picture Thread:Golden Era Customs
I read somewhere that the popularity of the spot light came from speed boats.The tail dragging stance came from them as well.I don't know how true this is.

An artist's pallet of primers
Clean. Looks like some custom work on the nose and tail. How about a hot hauler C-model Ford that was Watson the custom painter's... Cool!

Re: Picture Thread:Golden Era Customs
Now there's a car better off unchanged. GM built one of the finest factory custom cars when they did the original Riviera.

I always liked the Rivieras. 69 was a good looker too.

You could take any of those cars in post #371 to a show today and they would be a hit.
