Features Kustoms blues? I need to see some kustoms....

A 1965 Pontiac Vivant concept car parked in the drive of Pierre Koenig’s Case Study House #21 -
the Walter Bailey House. Located in West Hollywood it was completed in 1959.

 

I'm digging the connection of the Pontiac concept with the trick architecture. Backgrounds
are so important when shooting cars.

 

I agree, It was too kool of a picture not to share it...

 

Race car designer Trevor L. Harris' first car, sectioned 8" (in 1954) when he was 17 years old.

 

On Darryl Starbirds Electra, can anybody tell me what the 'wiper' thing is on/near the front screen?
Always been puzzled.

 

El Sueno = "The Dream."

 

How about Raymond Loewy (and his new bride) at the Kaufman's Palm Springs house?
(The Kaufman's were also owners of Frank Lloyd Wright's "Fallingwater").




And speaking of FLW; Here is his own Continental parked in the motor court of his Wisconsin residence, "Taliesin".
(Check the window detail on the house. With FLW's obsessive attention to detail, this would not be a stand alone element, but would be as intrinsic to the whole as an element of a Tibetan Buddhist mandala.)




Incidentally, both cars survive to this day.

 

Great shot, love it...

 

Now that is a great look for a '37 coupe, I really like that...

 

In color.

 

This looks like a Bona-fide oldie. (Genuine Barris, perhaps?)
It was for sale in Tennessee (!) for $2,100, mounted on an S-10 frame.
Dashboard is 1950 Ford.
I hope it gets saved.

I've noticed the candy green from the 60's/70's appears to be the new color trend, new variations of it in modern paint.

 

Why is it that all of wicarnut’s pictures are blocked by a big red X ? Do I need to change a setting or something on my mobile app? Everyone else’s pictures show up fine.

check with tech on Hamb, it's a setting on your end somewhere I believe

 

I really like the way they did the skirts on this coupe.
