ray goulrt olds out of san diego later shown in isca as the candy dandy i last saw it in phoenix at a good guys show i would really like to find it!

 

It's cool seeing so many different custom changes from back when that never get considered anymore. Anything went once upon a time....some didn't turn out so good, but lots and lots of them did.

 

Agreed Dave, I used to live for Car Craft magazine, used to check the Candy Kitchen's new mag rack back in my home town in Iowa every day in 1958-1962...when the mag finally arrived I was "gone" for days, reading and re-reading about the new kustoms hitting the shows...I can still remember that feeling of "some day I'll have my very own kustom in magazine."

Of course, like anything else, my first kustom took a few years and when that one wasn't good enuff to be feature material, I built another...finally got a nine page feature but not in a magazine - a book: Custom Cars & Leadsleds by Tim Remus...and after that, several more features on several more cars in magazines -too numerous to mention here. I'd finally come of age...!!!

I started to ask where the hell these cars went and you show us one. Thanks for the pics and your devotion to Kustoms. We all benefit.
