    Copper 50 Chevy HT Coupe

    Rob Gerring's `50 Chevy hardtop custom David Martinez hardtopped the car and worked a '48 Merc rear ...more

    window and '53 Cadillac fins and decklid into the coupe. He also pie-cut the hood, rounded the corners, and lowered the headlights. It's a custom in the most traditional sense, yet it wears a House of Kolor's Cinnamon Pearl and Snow White Pearl spray by Gary Brown.

    Walt Leeman 1950 Chevy Fleetline

    Owned and built by Walt Leeman of Delta, Colorado...
    Powered by a Ford engine/tranny...and it gets ...more

    driven since the owner does not believe in trailering a car

    The mild custom has some great mild body touches like the 49 Ford taillights inlcuding grafted on windsplits. Packard grille and side trim with a grille opening to match the new grille. The rear fenders received a workign scoop with three chrome bars.

    Thanks to Roger Jetter for the additional information.
