Elton Kantor’s Shoebox

Short and sweet today… I give you Elton Kantor’s shoebox to discuss. When asked by a buddy of mine to give an opinion, I said this:

“Never before has such a fine front-end been executed along side such an ugly ass. I consider Elton’s shoebox to be the Kim Kardashian of early customs.”

I was little harsh there, but only for effect. I actually have always had a soft spot for Elton’s car in both early and late versions, but I’ve never come around on the “hard continental kit.”

Maybe you have.

Interesting note: The color shot used up top was taken from the cover of the July, 1953 issue of Hop Up Magazine. Those of you from Oakland might notice that the negative has been reversed.
