2 Frank DeRosa Customs to new owner

Frank DeRosa’s The Golden Piranha and the ‘1951 Mercury 4-door have been for Sale for a while, after the DeRosa family bought them back from the late Blackie Gejeian. Insane Design recently shared on his Instagram that a good customer of his has acquired both DeRosa Customs and that his shop will be doing a revamp on both cars. Good news!

These Customs, and especially The Golden Piranha have made a huge impact on me when I was a kid. There was a small picture of it in one of the early Chrome and Flames magazines…. and I so much loved the idea of mixing the 50’s Custom Car designs with a late 60’s car…. I so much loved the outside the box thinking that Frank DeRossa did when he created that car. So this one has been special to me ever since.

From Insane Design…
“Enough of the teaser shots…lol… a good customer of mine bought both Frank DeRosa cars, The Golden Piranha, and the 51 Merc. known as Mercury 4. I will be going through them mechanically, and cosmetically. I like cars with history, and these two have plenty of that….”
