Visit to the Gilmore Car Museum on August 3, 2013. A special display 'American Legends' currently showcases several hot rods and custom cars. This 1933 Ford was customized in the early fifties, taking on an informal nickname of "Oliver Hine's 25 Varieties" because the car was built by Oliver Hine, who used parts from 25 different cars. Here are some details: 1949 - 1951 Cadillac 331 cubic inch V-8 engine; fenders from six 1938 Chevrolets and a Brewster Town Car grille shortened 6 inches.

The Custom Car gathering in Worthing coincided with the first day of the London 2012 Olympics. As I was committed to London 2012 my daughter kindly agreed to follow in Dad's footsteps and take pictures of anything she could so I've credited these shots to her though they are still posted under the Creative Commons, Attrib, No Commercial, No Derivative licence.
