1950 Chevrolet Coupe

A REAL PIECE OF CUSTOM CAR HISTORY!

In the fifties and sixties, this car was featured magazines such as Rod Builder & Customizer, Custom Cars, Rod & Custom, and Car Craft. Often in more than one issue. It was featured in Car Club magazines and newsletters such as Swanx of Vallejo, Motorcade and The Wheeler of Northern California.

And it won time after time and was entered into shows like The Road Run, the Autorama, National Roadster Show, The Napa Valley Rod & Custom Show, Custom, Rod & Sports Car Show, and the Rose Festival Auto Show.

George Barris, a legend in custom car building, is quoted complimenting elements of this 1950 coupe while explaining what it takes to win a custom car competition.

This is a one family-owned custom always kept in California and Nevada.
