George Barris Car Show 2014
Car Show Find
Picked up this lunch box at the Pomona Swap Meet, took it over to the GB shop, Mr Barris was sitting in his office, no one was around. I walked over, he asked if he could help me and we started to talk and finally I brought the lunch box into the conversation and asked if he would sign it. What a great afternoon, talking classics with an amazing automotive icon.
Hood Mascots
Great mascot from Cruisin' Back to the 50's.
George Barris was a self-made man.
This custom car legend created some of the most famous television rides and held an amazing car show every year introducing the public to his passion. Not knowing Mr. Barris, I purchased this vintage lunch box and drove over to his North Hollywood studio, he was super nice, stop what he was doing, signed my lunch box and we had a great conversation. Thanks Mr. Barris for the rides.
The George Barris Car Show Cruisin' Back to the 50's 2015
Managed to get to the car show before the crowds. The line-up was packed in like sardines so getting great shots of all the cars can be an interesting challenge. Overall the show was filled with some amazing cars and George Barris brought along his classics. Also standing out, the artwork that defines a ride from pinstripes to lace overlays. Look for photos of the show late this week.
