Press Release from the Kustoms Illustrated Office
In Kustoms Illustrated issue #42, we have an incredible line-up of great looking customs and event coverage tailored specifically for the traditional custom car enthusiast. From the East Coast to the West Coast, from the Mid-West to Overseas, we’ve got it covered!
Our feature cars this issue include Rick Marvinâs glowing â41 Ford coupe from Indiana. This beautiful custom features all kinds of neat tricks and fresh new ideas that you just have to see.
Next, we photographed âAngel Eyesâ against the breath-taking backdrop of Mount Rainier in Portland, Oregon. Dave Spearâs â52 Chevy is a perfect example of a classic 1950s custom. The modifications are endless, and they all flow seamlessly into one graceful package. Wait until you see the interior!
We traveled back east to shoot Fred Krolâs super-clean mild custom â56 Chevrolet convertible against the Googie architecture of the Shrinerâs building in Berlin, Connecticut. Fredâs â56 shows the restraint and style that a true mild custom should be. This period-perfect drop-top looks like it could have been cruisinâ the streets of Anytown, USA in the mid to late â50s!
Clyde Wootenâs â58 Pontiac has the perfect âCalifornia Rake.â This Portland, Oregon, cruiser has been causing quite a stir lately wherever it goes. Clyde nailed the late â50s street custom look with this seldom customized body style and the use of unique and original colors. Check it out in issue #42!
We have event coverage from two new shows as well as two old favorites. Rik Hoving takes us all the way to Sweden for the A-Bombers Old Style Weekend where he captured the amazing period-perfect customs in attendance. He also takes us on a special road trip along the west coast of Sweden where he rides âshotgunâ with six traditional customs in a row. The coverage is wrapped up with some amazing shots of the 2nd Annual Custom Car Line-Up where eight select period customs gathered to be photographed as one; just as the legendary Marcia Campbell did in 1951 with a selection of Barris-built cars.
âCustoms by the Seaâ is a brand-new show in Wildwood, New Jersey, held in conjunction with the âRace of Gentleman.â Sondre Kvipt and his brother Olav of Oslo, Norway, organized and produced the event, and Kustoms Illustrated has coverage of this historic and up-and-coming traditional custom car show.
Our two old favorites include Lead East in Parsippany, New Jersey, and the KKOA âLeadsled Spectacularâ in Salina, Kansas. Both shows are loaded with great kustoms and you can see them all here in the new issue!
