classic custom compacts

Were there any early compacts that were Kustomized back in the day? Falcons, Comets, Darts, Americans, Valiants and so on. I know they did Gassers but what about cruisers? Bust out those old 60's car mags! I want to build a 60-61 Merc Comet and would like to know and see some pictures.

 

Good question, I'm curently trying to finish my '62 Comet and trying to keep the early '60's custom theme.

 

Im a sucker for midsize cruisers/kustoms, but its hard to find them done right.

 

There was a nicely customized '63 Corvair coupe that showed up at the annual Speed and Custom Car Show in Chicago in the late '60s/early '70s; it was metalflake green and had handmade rectangular taillights that wrapped around the rear quarters and were Frenched in. Wonder where it is today?

I have a lot of pictures of corvairs done in the 60's but cant find any other makes! I'll post the corvair pics when I have a chance.

 

There was a whole spotlite book on custom compacts, been awhile since I looked through it and can't remember if there was any Comets
