I like the muscle, but who's got a custom?

A while back, I de-chromed my 65 Barracuda, removing the rocker trim, the wheel opening trim, the "Barracuda" emblems on the front fenders, and the trunk "Plymouth" lettering. The kind of stuff people used to do back in the fifties. But I've decided I'm gonna put all that back on. Already did the trunk lettering, just waiting for a round tuit to do the rest.

I do have Hirohati-Merc style teardrop radio knobs in my 64 Polara convertible, along with a metalflake red Moon steering wheel. Makes it a tiny bit custom.

And I have a Von Dutch inspired eyeball shift knob and dash decal on my 49 Dodge Wayfarer, along with a fuzzy mirror muff and green dice hanging from the rear view mirror.

And four-bar flipper wheel covers on my 56 Plymouth.

As well as a few Rat Fink (Ed "Big Daddy" Roth) decals on a few cars here and there.

Now we're getting somewhere! Mopars are the prime choice for customs IMO because the factory was seemingly way out there with their designs and engineering. I can't believe more people don't customize them. I had a 56 Imperial that was dropped, nosed and decked, Packard hubcaps, and I pulled the gunsight taillights off and made red lenses for the backup light housings. Everyone used to ask me if it was a Lincoln.
Man, I miss that car. It's in Minnesota somewhere completely restored back to original. It had functional factory air!
