A heavily customised, chopped 1939 Oldsmobile Touring Sedan 4-Door Kustom ‘Street Rod’. An unusual choice of marque, model and body style for such a custom creation, but also very cool and unique. Possibly the only such example of a customised 1939 Oldsmobile in the country. The car is RHD, which implies this may have originally been an export model, possibly sourced from Canada, or it is an aftermarket conversion. Imported to the U.K. in 1996. On display at the first annual ‘National Street Car Challenge’ festival, Wetherby showground, 18.07.26.

Owned by well-known Northern drag racer Alistair “The Mooster” Plunkett, seen in this pic with his “Rat Rod” mobility scooter. I would see this Ranchero in action next month at Melbourne raceway.

Not my usual subject , but my son dropped by yesterday on his 1971 Yamaha XS650 and I couldn't resist it... especially as it wasn't glaring sunlight and I could see what I was doing - well, sort of!
He has 'customised' it to give it a 'Street Scrambler' look. He is a Mechanic by trade and has a few old cars/bikes that he loves to restore and use on the road.

Ford Gran Torino replica on display at a fan convention, National Exhibition Centre (NEC) Birmingham, in Solihull, West Midlands, England, United Kingdom, on Saturday 26th November 2005.
About this photograph.
This is a Ford Gran Torino. I do not know what year this model is, and this is likely to be a customised replica of the famous car seen in the 1970s US police television series known as Starsky & Hutch.
It was on display during a fan con event called Memorabilia at the National Exhibition Centre. Anyone can have their photos taken with the car. They can also ask for their photos taken next to the actor Antonio Fargas whom played the character called Huggy Bear in the series, as he was attending the show for autograph session.
He can be seen in this photo www.flickr.com/photos/132335712@N05/49972893543/ posing with the same car.
The photograph was taken with an Olympus Camedia C-3040Z camera, and the photo is at full size of 2048 x 1536. I did not have my Nikon DSLR until a few years later.
There were a couple of people in the background, behind the car, so I made a copy of the file, opened it in Adobe Photoshop, and edited them out of the photo. I still have the original unedited photo.
About the subject.
Starsky & Hutch is a 1970s American police action television series about two streetwise detectives in Bay City, a fictional location within Los Angeles. It lasted 4 seasons and was one of the most popular buddy-buddy cop shows.
The Ford Gran Torino in bright red with a white vector strip on each side, was used as the main car for the show. In the fictional show, the car is owned by Detective Dave Starsky.
Many people often think the car is nicknamed as Zebra Three, but that is not correct. Zebra Three is the call sign for both Starsky and Hutch, regardless of what cars they use, and in one episode, they were using the call sign when on foot.
The car’s actual nickname is The Stripped Tomato.
This happened when the actor Paul Michael Glaser was shown the car and remarked to fellow actor David Soul by sarcastically saying “That thing looks like a stripped tomato!”
The nickname later made its onscreen mention, when Hutch called Starsky’s car as a stripped tomato.
The series used as much as about four or more different models for various roles, such as normal driving, stunt driving, interior filming, and so on.
The Ford Torino was manufactured by Ford for the North American market between 1968 and 1976, and there where three generations of the model.
About the event.
Memorabilia was a British fan convention, that started in 1994, aimed for the collectors of movies, television, and sporting memorabilia. It included celebrity signing autographs and fans in cosplay.
It later became a sister event to the MCM London Comic Con. In 2008, MCM Expo Group bought it and it went through changes, until it folded into MCM’s London Comic Con.

I sometimes feel quite frustrated about customising work.
Carving is my favourite part, I enjoy every single moment of this part, even when it turns hard or challenging. But when I start spraying and giving color I feel all the carving hard work is missed, as if sealer fill in the gaps and colors turn into the leading star of this story.
So, that's my frustration, feeling the carving work is sometimes missed on the long process, but, as my favourite part I'll continue trying to improve my skills day by day Emoticón wink
Does it happen the same to you?
Have a nice Sunday.

A customised 1962 Jaguar . English luxury with an American flavour . Big yes , massive in the best American style of the times .
I remember polishing one of these back in the 70's , it took most of the day with three people rubbing away . I didn't think we would every finish it . It was the first car that I travelled at near 200 kph in .. so fast for a machine as big and heavy as this fine car weighing in at about 2 tons .

Rear-quarter onside view of a 1959 Buick Le Sabre 4-Door, 6-Passenger Sedan; Customised, model code [4419], one of 8,286 examples built. Age-related six-character registration “651 UXM”.
Back in 2018 I snapped this brutal 1959 Buick Le Sabre 4-Door Customised Sedan outside the famous Mathewson’s auction house in Thornton-Le-Dale, Ryedale, North Yorkshire, U.K. (around the time the first season of the popular TV series was being filmed). This jet age-styled car was by far the most radical vehicle on auction that day.
This Bad-To-The-Bone Buick, registration “651 UXM” had been in the U.K. for quite a while, and had received some interesting custom work, including aftermarket alloy mags, removed door handles, missing some chrome trim, and its front bench seat was a replacement which might’ve come from a pickup truck. The car was painted in a shade of Kustom “Matte Black” respray, underneath a glossy “Glacier Green” roof. At the time the car was up for auction, it still had its original (possibly tuned) 6.0-Litre, 250-HP, 363.5-CID “Nailhead Wildcat” OHV V8, column-mounted 3-Spd helical M/T, and an (assuming) original 3.58:1 ratio live rear axle hypoid differential. The car required some mechanical attention, including new brakes. The chrome bumpers were quite badly pitted, too. However, the rest of the car seemed pretty solid and complete. This Buick was purchased by an enthusiast who has since undertaken some much-needed recommissioning work.
Believe it or not this is actually a 1960 Vauxhall PA Velox that was customised by its owner Jake Mellor.
Given Jakes transformation of this iconic Vauxhall I thought I would "Cluke" it.
Not only because of it suiting the image but also in acknowledgement of Clukes support and encouragement.

Another front-quarter view of a customised full-size 1967 Ford Galaxie 500 XL 2-Door, 6-Passenger Hardtop Coupe, model [63B], V8, registration “NDB 434E”. Spotted outside Bridlington, Northeast Yorkshire, U.K., in July 2022.
1950 (ish) heavily customised Buick Special or Roadmaster Riviera coupé spotted during a classic American car/truck parade on Maldon High Street in the County of Essex (UK).
Very hard to tell the exact Buick model here although I'm reasonably sure it's Special or Roadmaster Riviera coupé .
Note it is illegal in the UK not to display a front registration mark (plate) on any road legal vehicle which would help somewhat in the identification process.
