History Elegant Customs

Please excuse my language but, every time I see a potentially beautiful car that somebody has decided to make an ass dragger out of it I just cringe.

 

This is the HAMB,,,,,,,there will be some Hot Rods and some Custom cars.
Why are you here?

What a beauty

 

My 51 just mild

Barry Weiss’ 1939 Zephyr

 

I was at a weekend show earlier this month and a buddy put it best, he said when he goes to an art gallery he doesn't like every painting and sculpture on display. Same goes for car shows. Rat rods, hot rods, customs, donks, low riders, VW's muscle cars, trucks, antiques, oddities and tail draggers. He looks at the stuff he likes and walks past the stuff he doesn't. It would be a boring art museum that just had 1000 Mona Lisa's hanging on the wall.

 

Wonder what happened to it?

 

Looks like one of Terry Cook's Scrape replicas. Handsome car.

 

It is Terry Cooks old purple car . Barry Weiss had it painted black.

 

I may be the only one to think this, but I have never liked Scrape.

 

Bert`s Cadillac.

You aren't

 

Here’s my 50’ Merc

 

"Scrape" looks pretty traditional below the beltline but modern above the beltline.
Look at the windshield- while covering up the body with your hand- and you'll see what I mean.

 

I don't dislike Scrape, although watching it drive with its suspension "up" is hilarious.

 

Some Caddies.
A few were in house customs.
The Eldo Broughams were custom made at Pininfarina. IT.
