Online Obituary for Mike P. Alexander
.
I knew Mike to talk to and he was suffering bad health for quite a while. Most people are aware of his talents as a customizer and the famed Alexander Brothers Custom Shop of Detroit but anyone who got to spend any time with him will tell you what a gentleman the man was. R.I.P. Mike
As a kid growing up in the Detroit area the Alexander Bros were part of the group of customizers from the 50’s that I idolized. Mostly all gone now except Bill Hienz. R.I.P. Mr Alexander.
Yet another of my Customizing heros gone. From the beginning of my model car building years in the late ’50s — early ’60s I have always favoured the tasteful style of the cars the brothers customized as the very best there was. R.I.P. Mike Alexander.
