The Custom Car scene has a lot of history in it, and this month we’re kicking off a new regular feature designed to take you back to the good old days. The Custom Car Years is all about the way things were both in Custom Car and the world in general.
This month’s first instalment stars a steel-bodied T-bucket, a Pod-bashing Escort and a rodded Standard Vanguard (yes, really), as well as Elvis, Tricky Dickie and Last of the Summer Wine. You wouldn’t believe the amount of work it takes – but if you enjoy reading it as much as we enjoyed putting it together, it’ll be worth all the effort!
We just know you’ll enjoy the feature cars in this issue, at any rate.
Mel Garrard’s Ford Pop is and Kieron Smith’s ’37 are two absolute works of art. Kieron’s father just happens to be the famous Whiff Smith, interior trimmer extraordinaire, and the results are there for all to see. And Mel didn’t just build his Pop for shows, but to be shipped to the States for a major road trip. Talk about living your best life.
