Starting with the gorgeous cover car, we have Sam Schoenberg’s chopped and radically customized ’49 Mercury. Certainly, one of the nicest Merc’s out there. I am sure you will enjoy reading about the history of this car. Next up is a wild flamed, but mild custom ’51 Ford shoebox coupe that cruises the streets of Lakewood, California. Simple, but sweet! We also feature a beautiful ’59 Chevy Brookwood wagon from “across the pond” in the UK. You are going to love this well-thought-out custom that looks like it could have been plucked right out of the “Watson-era.”
Speaking of the UK, we are honored to sponsor and report on, one of the best custom shows in London called “The Leadroom.” Some of the finest UK customs gathered in a very unique setting creating a one-of-a-kind event. Our event coverage continues with some of the best custom cars at the Grand National Roadster Show in Pomona, California.
We love our history here at Kustoms Illustrated and we know you do too. You are going to flip out on our story entitled “A Day at the Beach in a Radical Custom - Circa 1959.” Sound intriguing? You will have to get the issue to read the story and see the never before published photos in glorious black and white. Want more history? We have a feature on the freshly re-restored ’57 Olds called “The Oriental.” This old custom was restored a dozen or so years ago and then sadly caught fire before it could be brought out to the public. Amazingly it has been brought back to life again and we have it in full color.
Throw in some Kustom News and you have another solid issue of Kustoms Illustrated magazine.
