Customs In a little garage in a little town tucked away in the corner ...,,

Knox, PA?

 

Wow, a tomato with wheels!

 

I was picking up a 1957 Mercedes a few doors down - it was suggested I check out the small custom car collection next door ....

John Winkler built this car back around 1995 ....

There was a small photo album of the build .....

Enjoy

You know the saying about if you have nothing nice to say, say nothing? Well all I have to say is……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………..

 

Headlights need work.

 

Although dated, looks like a quality job and a ton of work. Thanks for the photos. Snowman.

 

I am editing - resizing as I go ....

Keep in mind this was 33 years ago ....

This front clip looks like an Asian Monster Bad Dream....

 

Did I just sleep away 10 years of my life? Tons of work for sure. Very cool.

 

Customs are not my cup of tea but this is COOL.

Body treatments are nice, and I love that body style- headlights are literally a square peg in a round hole...

 

Wink is gone but not forgotten.

 

It's very difficult to look at the rest after seeing the headlights....looks well done except for those and maybe the top needs to be chopped to help the profile. Thanks for sharing . UGHH those lights

 

I just went back and looked....ugh the front bumper also!

 

This .... is just so very cool .... the rectangular headlights are so counter to the design ... so very wrong ..... that they complete the car in my view.

 

Square headlights in a round car yuck

 

So you probably know the history of the car ...

I don’t think it gets seen much these days.

The current owner wants to keep the exact location private - most folks who visit get this view ....

Yeah, yeah...... the head lights are ugly. It was the 90's for craps sake, even Jeeps got stuck with them.

 

I think it would be a cool car if you changed out the headlights and the front bumper.

 

Easy... put the cover back over the car...

 

Winkler was one of a kind.
