Summary

Among the hardest core of automotive enthusiasts, there has always existed a desire to press automotive styling and performance a step further than the showroom floor. This photographic and cultural history of the American custom car examines the evolution of this phenomenon from the 1930s to present, covering touchstone trends, influential builders (Barris, Roth, Coddington, et al.), significant auto shows, vital enthusiast magazines and regional variations in styling.
