Super sweet! Fender skirts are from '57-'58 Mercury Turnpike Cruiser or are aftermarket copies thereof.

1929 Ford

A crew laid out, masked and painted these flames over a weekend. The car was rolled out Sunday evening and headed for Wilmington's cruise strip, Avalon Blvd. Then general consensus among those who viewed it that night was that the spray can painters had been "loaded". In the sixties flames had fallen out of favor and the public wasn't ready for something this radical. In other words, the car was ahead of it's time because "Old School" was still a few years away. Nevertheless, it was an interesting and enjoyable exercise at the time. Thanks to Allen Duke for offering up his car!

Twin spotlights seen here were manufactured by Appleton.

1955 Ford

One of my oldest shoots. Way back in 2007.

Classic lines of the custom Mercury.

Looks good from any angle

Only $11,500

This good looking Chevy is a lowrider but the lack of sun visor, fender skirts and other accassory items take it out of the "bomb" catogary.

Characteistic horizonial tail lights smoothed over and replaced by verticle units.

WTF!!!

When this photo was made in 1967 the "Six Four" was already popular lowrider choice. Paint here was by Joe Anderson.

Seen recently at Vet's Stadium in Long Beach, California.

Custom Car Show, Ipswich, August 2007

Dual Appleton spotlights and moderate lowering make what would otherwise be a restoration a lowrider "bomb".

Looks like European coachwork on this American car.

Note fender skirts molded to the body!

1932 Ford Coupe

Chrome spear on fender skirts is from a '58 Buick.

Nice late '50s, early '60s style "panel" paint job, as popularized by Larry Watson.

Clean custom grille.

Old school late 50s, early 60s style scallop job.
