Re: '59 Custom

Sorry to hear that Richard passed away. I wonder what happened to the custom... I've seen lots of pictures, but I have no idea how old they are, and if they were taken when the car had new ownership.

IIRC, Dan, He completed that car late in 2001 and showed it at Sacramento Autorama the next February. As with most car builders or designers, after a few major shows it was sold, and he moved on to a different project. Last I saw this '59 custom, it was owned by someone in the southeast, maybe Florida.

Here's a bunch more pix of "Furious I". I don't think it's a lighting effect - the car appears to have once been painted yellow, and then green (or vice versa). Which color is it now - and, where is it?!?

Richard was a customer of mine before he passed away several years ago. The paint color was a pearl yellow-green, and would change in different lights. I recall seeing this car at its debut at Autorama, and a few later shows. Haven't seen it for several years now.
