Do they still put on the Cowtown Nationals? In a non-2020 kind of year? I have fond memories of those shows in the late 80's.
I am not always a fan of Mr. Starbird's visions but that car has always been one of my favorites and actually turned me onto the Invicta body style in general. Great post on a great, iconic custom.
59 Buicks rock and yeah...that's a classy one and what a sweetie...thanks for sharing it @Jive-Bomber...
And he's going strong up on Grand Lake. His kids and grandkids still put on the Tulsa show every February. Have it on your calendar. https://www.starbirdcarshows.com/ http://www.darrylstarbird.com/
I lived down the street from Starbird customs when the shop was by the RR tracks in the early 60's. Like a lot what came out of that shop, but I still have a bad taste in my mouth for Darryle claiming he built the Lil Coffin.
How much of the car was metal work and how much was body filler? I remember seeing a 40 Ford that the owner claimed Starbird did the bondo was 2 inches thick. I miss Douglass of the 60s.
