I stopped to take a few pics of this very fine 1955 Buick Riviera Super Coupe in Monterey, California, during Monterey Car Week, during which several other shows and auctions occur, including Pebble Beach. It was a great several days!
Pretty 1955 Chevrolet Bel Air “Sport Coupe” in Buda, Texas, at one of my favorite hot rod fab shops, Murphos

Love this dolled-up 1955 Ford Fairlane Crown Victoria with lake pipes, fender skirts, (Cadillac?) wheel covers, visor, and bumper guard. Am I missing something?
I snapped this pic on S. Congress Avenue in Austin, Texas, during the Lonestar Round Up car show weekend when the scene on the Avenue Friday and Saturday nights is epic.
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!
