George Barris 1936 Ford Coupe

 

George Built this car while he was working with Harry Westergard in the early 40's. It is one of the first custom cars George Built, and as you can see George was teached well by Harry Westergard. All the elements that made Harry famous are incorporated into this 36 Ford. Narrowed grille (Nash) dropped headlights, removal of the running boards, chopped top, and that wonderful speedboat stance. This early custom ran black wall tires with single bar flipper hubcaps and 41 Ford bumpers. So I think it was at the begin of the WWII that this car was finished.
