I spotted the 1961 Mercedes 190SL, the "Mercedes Bent" , on the 5 freeway yesterday... nice to see someone uses a show car for a change

For the gallery of photos I took of this when it was at SEMA last November: http://justacarguy.blogspot.com/2010/11/1961-mercedes-190sl-with-custom-touch.html

1946 Hudson truck, the Superwasp

This is the 2nd show, maybe the third that I've seen this Hudson at... I'm guessing it hasn't felt pavement yet, and maybe won't because it's too pretty. I haven't seen it with the hood down yet either.

Hinkle's Gold Rush

Terrific display, simple, direct, and sharp

The stands bolted to the lugs bolts are superb, great way to let people view the bellypan

Here is an odd coincidence.... I found these two images minutes apart from each other, of the same one of a kind custom show car

The full car photo was taken at the 19th Annual Autorama at Cobo Hall

I finally stumbled on the name of that kustom I'd posted several photos of but could never find a link to.. it's the Galaxian from the Pharaohs c.c.

Finally found a link to the 2008 Yokohama custom car show somewhere that led me to Shige's blog for Mooneyes http://www.hobidas.com/blog/shop/mooneyes/archives/custom/

The Jackman Brothers sport coupe

Sonny and Cher Mustangs that Barris kustomized went for $198,000

The pair stayed together and sold for $198,000.
Both cars were originally taken straight off Ford’s San Jose assembly line and the Motor Company commissioned the legendary George Barris to personalize these cars to reflect the couple’s flamboyant onstage personas.

Sonny’s Mustang was finished in Murano Gold Pearl, adorned by dark brown side panel and with an orange and gold fade-away treatment over the wheel wells and grille openings. The interior was upholstered with Bobcat fur and antique buffed leather trimmed with rustic suede.

Cher’s Mustang featured a hot pink pearl finish, blended with candy red, deep red side panels and a matching fade-away treatment. It also had white Ermine fur and black antique Scottish leather upholstery, trimmed in hot pink suede. Both cars were fitted with opulent three-inch long Mouton fur carpeting, Sonny’s in gold and Cher’s in hot pink.

Upon completion, the cars were used for publicity purposes before going on to appear in Sonny and Cher’s only feature-length movie, Good Times. Following the movie’s wrap, they toured the car show circuit before they were returned for the use of Sonny and Cher and later reverted back to George Barris. http://classiccars.about.com/
