Kustoms Illustrated #62
We have some great features this issue starting with our cool cover car, "Just a Dream". This mild '55 Ford Crown Victoria is actually a '70s revival-era survivor
that has been given a new lease on life. Next up is another survivor. This time from the 1950s era.
This unique shoebox Ford has an equally unique story behind it. It was started in the '50s and finished in the '80s and still going strong today.
History-wise, we have an update on the Joe Bailon "Candy Bird" that is currently being restored, as well as a story on east coast customizing legend
Don Blake, who made a name for himself locally in the '50s customizing cars in New Jersey. We also have massive event coverage from the Custom Car Revival
in Indianapolis, the Cruisin' Nationals in Santa Maria, California, and the Kustomrama Invitational in Sweden.

Kustoms Illustrated #57
Issue #57 kicks off with a historic restored original Northwestern custom from 1957. Tangerine is a survivor that has been fully restored to perfection. It has a little books pedigree and was co-built by Ron Courtney who also built the famous X-51 shoebox Ford coupe. We have extensive coverage on this car along with vintage never before seen photos of both Tangerine and the X-51!
Next we have the latest custom build by Barry Mazza (the current owner/restorer/caretaker of the famous Barris-built Aztec '55 Chevy). His gorgeous period 1946 Ford coupe was also done in the early-Barris style and just oozes pure traditional custom class. See it in its full color glory!
Wait until you see Curt Stechert's Larry Watson-influenced '56 Chevrolet! Curt built his version of a Watson style custom in just over 10 months and it will blow you away. This mild and smooth custom proves that the Watson influence will always be with us.
History? We got it! Albert Drake takes us on a Wartime Road Trip from Portland, Oregon, to Los Angeles, California in 1943 where three close friends hit the road in a drop top 1936 Ford and visit the Mecca of hot rod and custom cars. Along the way they visit speed shops, used car lots, drive-ins and more, purchasing speed and custom accessories from fledgling shops and pioneers, all during the birth of custom and hot rodding culture. First hand accounts from the guys that were there! Don’t miss this great story.
Event coverage this issue includes the great Custom Car Revival in Indianapolis as well as a brand new East Coast show called the Full Custom Showroom. Guaranteed to satisfy the custom car lover in you!

The Mandarin Princess is a gorgeous ’56 Chevy convertible with a radical front-end restyle that was done in the early ‘60s in Portland, Oregon. Wait ‘till you see this survivor!

Issue #30 contains the third and final installment of the ledgendary "Customs - Then & Now" event held at the 2011 GNRS and more event coverage with the West Coast Kustoms "Cruisin' Nationals" held in Santa Maria. Our cover kustom is the wild and radical "Atomitron" '49 Studebaker pick up truck that is taking the custom world by storm. Many of the great custom ledgends (Barris, Hines, Dean, Watson, etc..) have had a hand in the build process. The result is a period perfect early '60s Kustom. We also have one new and one old custom featured this issue. "The Gator" is a well-known So. California '51 Chevy that was built in the mid-'50s and recently freshened up. "Staten Island Slammer" is a very clean, mild East Coast custom in the form of a '52 Ford Victoria. Last but not least, custom car historian, Rik Hoving, brings us not one, but two incredible articles: The continuing series on Larry Watson's personal photos, and an in-depth look into Wally Welch's personal scrapbook. Tons of vintage photos this issue!

We also have a wild metalflaked '54 Ford Panel truck to round things out. Historically speaking, we have never before published photos from Larry Watson's archives and a look at a little-known car show that happened in San Juan Puerto Rico in 1961.
