The Custom Cars of the
1950's and 60's
became known as
Kustom Cars
That's Kustom with a
CAPITOL K
|
After WW
II collecting old cars became a passion of many people.
The economy was booming and people had the extra money needed for this hobby. They were tired of poor times and the war. They wanted to do something to express themselves. This collecting also became a way of keeping the history of the automobile alive. However there was group that didn't want just any old collectable car. They wanted something special that no one else had. The KUSTOM CAR was born. Through the late 40's, 50's 60's
70's and up to today many of these custom cars were made. Some of these
cars are only slightly modified while others went to the extreme but all
offer a different look at automotive history.
These include pictures of cars
customized by people like Barris Brothers (Sam and George Barris), Larry
Watson and Bill Cushenbury.
