“Hi everybody ! Hope everyone reading this is “storm free” and able to be Crusin’ once again !
The work that my friend Travis does on this Site is awesome…hope you come back often to check-it out
Here’s an important story that I want to share with you right now…
LONG-TIME HALL OF FAME MEMBER, Frank Livingston, wow’d the crowd’s over a decade ago when he unveiled his Pagan Gold, Oz Welch-built ’49 Chevy Fastback !
It was very similar to his 1955-built ’49 Fastback…but it was not quite a “clone” for a number of reasons that he explains, and you may have seen the car in-person at the GNRS, or, at Santa Maria.
Frank’s an old friend, and the story about how the idea for this build was put together is just super-cool….and what he say’s about the paint work alone is something you won’t want to miss ! Simply Click-On-Right-Here to Listen !!

WHILE I WAS On-The-Air on JUKE BOX 96 Radio in St. Louis on New Year’s Eve, 1993, I received a surprise phone call from my old friend the Legendary WOLFMAN JACK !

process.

Well, a few years ago, Fritz and I sat down, relaxed, and talked about his cars, then-current & future, plus his views on “creating art” through Rolling Sculpture.
Fritz is a cool guy with lots of talent. To “hear all about it” just CLICK-ON-HERE , listen, and…Enjoy !

Jonnie King and Darryl Starbird on “The Shark”
“HI ! I’m Jonnie King and I want to take this opportunity to thank my friend, Travis, for inviting me to share some of these great Interviews I’ve put together from these true Legends of the R&C Industry through the years.
Travis is a FANTASTIC photographer, and he and I eMailed each other, starting a few years back, while we were visiting on another R&C Site. Then, when we were at the 2011 KKOA Lead Sled Spectacular in Salina, Kansas, we ran into each other as we were admiring Yaril Quintana’s “Custom For Korea” Clone.
I was explaining to this nice young guy, standing by the car with a camera, that I had loved the Original Version of this “shoebox” since I was a kid…and still had my original Car Craft copy with it as a Cover Car back in 1953…
Finally, when the ‘nice young guy with a camera’ and myself got around to introducing ourselves, I found out he was “Travis From Kansas”…the same guy I’d been exchanging eMail with for over a year !
SO, that’s how this friendship started, and when Travis asked me about sharing my Interviews with all of you on his truly superb Website…well, it was a ‘no brainer’ !
What follows next is my latest story and Interview with the iconic DARRYL STARBIRD:
DARRYL STARBIRD’S NEWEST SUPER-CREATION is a Concept Version of what could have come out of Detroit ! A truly mind-blowing 1957 Cadillac Eldorado Brougham called “THE SHARK” !
In this one-on-one Interview, Darryl told me the story of he created it, how it can be used in 3 different versions, and, a humorous tale about what some early viewers said about it.
This is one story, from the true “King Of The Bubble Tops” that you must hear ! PLUS, you’ll see some rare photos that Darryl let me take during the early build of this fascinating, rare, Eldorado Brougham ! To Listen, Simply CLICK-ON-THIS-LINK: http://www.legends.thewwbc.net/gpage36.html
