10 Of The Coolest Kustom Classics

April 29, 2018

El Capitola

Horrific Spanish aside, this is a wonderful full kustom. The last such car created by Sam Barris at his Sacramento garage, the custom 1957 Chevrolet 210 was created for Don Fletcher. The roof was chopped by three inches up front and five in the rear, and the car’s B-pillar was removed. The windows were butted together, creating an unbroken expanse of glass from the hood to the trunk. Quad Lucas headlights were installed at the front, the hood reshaped, and massive 96-inch fins installed at the rear. Back there, you’d also find split DeSoto bumpers. The door handles were removed too, with an electrical system responsible for opening and closing them.

The interior featured bucket seats, and white Naugahyde upholstery, and replete with a chintzy French gold frieze. The car featured a TV, tape recorder, and a phone. Finished in Dust Pearl white with Kandy Burgundy on the panels, El Capitola was a good-looking legacy for Sam Barris to leave behind.
