Brilliant 1960 Chevy Hardtop on the Avenue

Written by Ken Altes

Ran across this sophisticated car on S. Congress Ave.  Owner moved from Dallas, is a motorcycle and custom car fabricator.  I think this is one of the Martin brothers whose shop outside Johnson City, Texas.  Since, I have gotten a a bunch of cool pictures from their hot rod garage, Martin Bros. Customs.

1950ish Chevy Fastback Custom in Austin

Written by Ken Altes

Very interesting 1950ish Chevrolet fastback custom on S. Lamar Boulevard in Austin, Texas.  Frenched headlights, shaved door handles, decked radiused front wheel openings, nosed hood, decked trunk lid, fins and recessed taillights.  Did I miss something?  I don’t have pics of the inside but it has very plush bucket seats.  Need to be finished but I like it.

Here is an informative thread in Jalopy Journal about custom car terms.  I learned a lot!
