Theres difinetly some bad ass cars on here! Wish mine was finished to share but not even close.

 

These old buicks are classy stock, and more so with some tasteful mods, looks good to me!

 

My old Merc and Larry Purcells 41 Ford @ the first KKOA nationals in Wichita '81.

Thay look kinda classy together.

Here is my Cadillac kustom

 

You might want to do a little more homework about your assumption of the first 49 merc to be cut in 49. Or just ask Rikster about it.

 

I'm not sure how I missed this thread before, but I'm glad I found it.

I with you Ryan, this car is the cat's ass.

 

This was a "what would you want to take your girl out on the town?" kind of design.

 

This thread has got me giddier than a fly in a cow pasture! Keep em coming!

 

There are a lot of nice customs here. Not all of them I'd categorize as "classy," but cool none the less. Punched louvers, flame jobs, even panel paint (although I love it all) just doesn't seem "classy" to me. Maybe wicked or wild, but not classy. Personally, I seem to categorize pre-1950 cars, with the exception of maybe a Caddy, or other top marquee 50's car more easily fitting in the classy category. Swoopy flowing lines, nice paint and interior. Something a movie star would drive to an awards show (although I'm sure that never actually happened). Coach built cars seem to almost always fit the bill.
Here is one that's in Japan that I consider classy, but almost over the top. I would never change the paint on this car, but I'd love to see it in a solid, dark color.

 

i agree a classy custom is painted,upholstered.etc..Edgey is coming soon!I think you will start seeing more of a resurgence of the wacky looking custom that resemble those that came out of mainly east coast states during the late '50's.Now those were edgy(tasteless).My 2cents

 

I believe the Ayala brothers were the first.

 

This definitely win the contest. This merc is incredible!
Anyone have more information about?
