RIP Ed Rincon

RIP ED RINCON

We are sad to report that we lost another Custom Car guy, Edward Rincon from Sacramento at age 79.

 
Chip Chipman informed us that another Custom Car guy has left us. Ed Rincon from Sacramento, worked as a paint-mixer for his own company as well as for Dick Bertolucci. HeĀ had amongst many other cars and bikes an 1951 Mercury that was mildly customized by Harry Westergard and later finished by Dick Bertolucci.

Our deepest condolences go out to Ed’s family and friends.
