RR7808B UK LONDON CUSTOM CAR SHOW

(20 Feb 1978) RR7808B UK LONDON CUSTOM CAR SHOW
It was the Hot Rod craze on America's West Coast in
the fifties that started off the art/sport/hobby of car
customising. In those days, teenage enthusiasts with
little cash took the engines, axles and gearboxes from
huge American V8 write-offs and shoe-horned them
into even older bodies. They chopped and lowered
chassis and body, sprayed the whole thing in multi-colour
paint, pleated the upholstery and topped off their creations
with a supercharger. Twenty years later, the scene shifts to
Britain and the Third National Custom Car Show.
