Roger Squires' 1947 Chevrolet Fleetline was restyled by Roger Squires of Torrance, California in the late 1960s. Known as "Pastime", the car is a surviving example of the early lowrider style, and it was engineered and built to a standard that was unusual for the time. The first version of Roger's Fleetline was completed around 1968.
Bo Sandberg's 1959 Ford Thunderbird of Stockholm, Sweden. The Wild Bird version of Bo's Thunderbird was completed in 1966. By 1968, he had redone the car, turning it into The Deejays GTA.
Carl Tucker's 1961 Ford of Panorama City, California. In 1967 or 1968 Carl's Ford was pinstriped by Walt Prey.
Dave Prey's 1963 Chevrolet Impala of Inglewood, California. Known as the Cherry Heering, photos taken in 1968 show it running a custom paint job by Dave Kent and Walt Prey of Kent's Customs. Photo from The Howard Gribble Collection.
Allen Duke's 1964 Chevrolet Impala SS, of Wilmington, California, as it appeared in 1968, after Carl Darling had given it a custom paint job.
The second version of Bob Huffman's 1965 Chevrolet Impala, of Norwalk, California, was based on a design by Harry Bradley. The car was restyled by Bob and Tom Chafin. The build was completed in 1968.
Jim Arkin's 1967 Buick Riviera of Los Angeles, California. Jim was a member of the San Fernando Valley Illusions car club, and in 1968 his Riviera featured 8 inch Ansen slotted aluminum wheels, and a subtle business men's pinstripe by Larry Watson of Watson's House of Style. The pinstripe consisted of two lines, a half inch apart, that ran the length of the car.
