I want to share some pics of this car with you guys. What a cool old custom, was pin striped by Larry Watson, been in a bunch of mags.
Looking for more info on the car if anyone knows any more. Thanks.

I think that is the custom that Larry Hook owned over twenty years ago. Does it also have Edsel gilles in the back of the car? Larry's a well known pinstripper from Cumberland RI.

 

Yes it does, click on the photobucket link for more pics. A pinstripper did own it at one time.

 

Wow Edsel grilles and drawer knobs, who would think of that combo?
The custom guys were always looking at everything and thinking "I wonder what I could do with that"
I wonder how that would look as a wagon....naah...

 

wow, what a survivor - super shape throughout - all it needed was a chop for a complete full-custom look....aa beaut!

 

It kinda looks like a big FB Holden, I like it though.

 

Yes that is same car... I have known Larry for twenty one years, and he had the car and sold before I knew him. If I got the story straight... He found it in delapatated condition in Taunton MA. He had someone restore it for him, don't know who. I notice in the photobucket pictures it has New Hampshire plates on it. When were those pictures taken?

 

Those plates are just something the photographer put on there.
Definetly interested in the resto info.........................

 

Raffman thats the car we were ment to see after the piza night at your place but you took me to that non car place insted...I wonder why I had no $1 notes left in my wallet the next day !

 

That be the one Arthur ! All though that place had younger models they were more curvy !!!!!!!!!!!!!!111

 

Larry did in fact own that car.Here is a picture of it along with his Deuce 3 window taken at a Boston Area Roadsters meet around 1987.

 

That car is awesome.

 

Here's an update for ya.............Luke Karosi from Kustoms Illustrated was out Sunday and shot a couple hundred pictures of the car. Turns out he knows the car and has been searching for it. Says he still would like to learn more about it if anyone has any knowledge. There will be full coverage of it in this winters edition....KOOL !
