History Virtual top 100 Custom car show

Love the thread, thanks all who contributed. My votes to add to the list are:
Bob Hirohito's Merc coupe
Earl Bruce's '40 Ford coupe, as it looked about 60 years ago
Bob Merry's mid-50s Olds - anyone know if this one still exists?
The Packard Request

 

local merc custom that rivals any merc custom anywhere of similar vintage. Built by a friend of mine.

 

Stunning ...... he must have seen the video.

 

What a gorgeous mercury,just had to take a look at this often overlooked custom.Also wanted to check out this great thread.

 

They don't have to be fat fendered to be customs... chopped, sectioned, channeled, and shortened quarters...

 

This car was (is?...still around?) perfect.

 

Always loved this car,didnt Andy Granatelli (sp?) own it at one time back in the day?

 

Actually,the 41 Buick is the way Kurt bought it from Barry Mazza.

 

Bill Couch still owns it... he was 16 and his Dad bought it for him in 1953... originally built by Joaquin Arnett of the San Diego Bean Bandits in 50-51... was purchased by Andy Granatelli in 52 and added a full race Grancor equipped flathead and Allard independent frontend

 

I think any car built by Doug Thompson should be included.

 

What ever happened to Larry Purcells' chopped 41 Ford coupe?

 

I could probably go on all night
but here's what influenced, and continues, to influence me.

 

Well almost... not visible in this photo, but Kurt did change the interior a bit.

 

Just too cool !

 

Miss Fine Wine built by Marshal Mastrud of Bend, OR for Olan Ford of Sisters, OR about 1991
