Barris Kustom Techniques of the '50s Barris Kustom Techniques of the '50s
Flames, Scallops, Paneling and Striping
by George Barris
People are as interesting in painting and customizing now, as they
were when this material was first created, in the 1950s. Everyone
wants to know how to do a flame job, or how to run a pair of pinstripes
straight down the side of their car. In this book George Barris
explains how he and brother Sam did their custom painting and
early flame jobs in the 1950s. No one can tell this story as well as
George Barris, a fine photographer and the man who built many of
the cars shown in the book. This particular book, Volume 4,
contains more than just the photos and words of George Barris. This
volume contains first-person side-bars by legendary painters and
builders like Dean Jeffries and Larry Watson, describing how they
developed their talents and what it was like to customize cars in
those days.

Route 66
More than three decades after Route 66 went by the
wayside, so to speak, it remains a nostalgic signifier of a
50-year period when cross-country travel was synonomous
with meeting interesting characters, absorbing marvelous new
sights, and stopping to check the oil along the way. In this
colorful biopic of the "Mother Road," author Tim Steil retraces
the wandering path of Route 66 from Chicago to Santa
Monica, returning home with a scrapbook of new color
photography and evocative period imagery profiling
businesses and attractions that continue to operate alongside
Route 66 despite the demise of the legendary two-lane. The
result is a unique look at motels, service stations, restaurants,
truck stops, and museums, and the colorful folks who
continue to whittle out a livelihood along Route 66 despite the
death of the road trip as spelled out by the vapor trails
overhead.

Muscle Trucks: High-Performance Pickups
While not a hot rod, the Cameo was super cool and it proved
that customers would buy a truck that could play as well as
work. Ford then followed with its crossover pioneer, the
Ranchero, which was half car, half truck. The Ranchero
inspired Chevrolet's El Camino, and both of these hybrids
featured high-performance variations before all was said and
done. This book honors all the hot trucks, then and now, with a
selection of outstanding color photography detailing these
high-performance haulers inside and out. Among others,
photo subjects include the Chevy SS 454, SS 396 and SS
454 El Camino, Cobra Jet Ranchero, GMC Syclone, Chevy
SSR, Ford SVT Lighting, Dodge SRT-10, the Lil Red Truck,
and the new Dodge Hemi Rams.
