As a kid, Darryl's cars were a dream. A perfect storm of hot rods, the future, your pre-license dreams in full color. Thanks to my dad for taking me to several of his shows in OKC. Batmobile, the Hulk signing autographs, Rush's 'Tom Sawyer" echoing in the arena. : )
I own four different Starbird, Barris models that I built as a kid back in the late 60s/early 70s. They sit near my 1/4 scale visible V8 w/ motor to make it "run" and flashing "spark" plugs I made and added w/ some early LEDs. I built the V8 at age 15 and took a week to build it, taking extra care prepping all of the moving parts w/ emory cloth to make sure everything operated smoothly and doing my best to hide the wires that lit the LEDs. Fun when folk come over and see an engine running, some for the first time, which stuns me, personally, being such a gear-head. lol
Fantastic I'll see if I can pick the book up I live in Minnesota so I'm sure one of the bookstores are online I can get it thanks Darryl and all those that helped you family and other mechanics to be who you are today much appreciated
I love these cars! I remember when he had the Custom Car Shows in the 1980's! Just awesome!!! Starbird, Roth, and Barris! What I call great artist in the car world!
You had to be a teenager in that Golden 1955 to 65 era to understand what the Predictor and Forecaster were....they were a mind blowing glimpse into the future. I went to the New York colliseum Kustom Kar show, went up the escalator and at the top the first car in the show you saw was....the Predictor!!!! WOW People's eyes were bugging out, you were instantly blasted into the future!!! Tell you what,...if Mr Starbird had just stopped there, he would have been a national car design icon.
At 6:57 sound like somebody let off gas. Anyway this looks Like a show from the early 80s. Yes the people that lived in the 60s and 70s visualized at that time what the cars in the future would look like they came out with these ideas. Took vans and cars at that time and added bubble tops wide flares and other cool stuff. But now I quess we can call them 60s and 70s future cars or future idea cars
one of my first models was the bubble-top. didn`t it also have a record-player? damn i`m old. and the car shows.(k.c. mo.) i remember you, breedlove, travolta, morganna, batman, and many more, over, the decades. will not buy your made in china models though. i know, why not put a factory in kansas. get the koch bros. to chip in. buy american! stop the greed!....
As awful as this is (poor video quality, bias statements, dated vehicles, etc.); what new cars will possibly be in museums from now? Shit's depressing.
Justin Flynn there's a lot of new cool thing's still being made,the price of used teslas,are getting low enough for normal guys to afford ,I love the idea of a 4 door super quiet sedan kicking hellcats to the curb in the quarter mile, they are gonna be beasts with street racing.

Awesome... Thank you Darryl for being such a trend setter.
These cars live in tornado alley. Think about that.

interesting
The museum is located in in Afton, Oklahoma, thirty-five minutes southwest of Joplin, Missouri off of Interstate I-44.
talk about a blast from the past
This is a old one Chip Foose was inducted into the hall of fame in 2003 or 4
Tax exempt? That train of 'tour the stars homes' in the background behind Connie is hilarious....
Too much talk and chest thumping, and not enough CAR footage!
But thanks for the video upload!
I was thinking the same thing....

Eric Polston I caught you straying away from RPeek's channel.
too much yammer not enough cars.
Why does that guy say Starbird as 'Starboard'?
Oh that's right, I don't care.
*drools at the cars*

Not very inspiring cars. Not sure Kansas was cradle of custom cars for this era.
You'd be surprised Eldon Titus Wichita Ks. Ray Farner Raytown Mo.(I was told, developed first tooling for louvers.) Starbird Mulvanne Ks.
