	After presenting a couple of high dollar dream kustoms in the [[Kustomrama Styling Studio]] I had to drag [[Janne Kutja]] down to the earth again, so I asked him to come up with an affordable concept that the average Joe could afford. He came up with a beautifully mildly restyled [[1963 Buick]] Riviera boulevard cruiser. [[Bill Mitchell]]'s first generation Buick Rivieras have great custom potential, and Janne's design shows what a mild custom job does to a Riviera. The trickiest part of this job is without doubt the mild chop.

-	Third concept in the Kustomrama Styling Studio is a [[1937 Cadillac]] V16 Series 90 Fleetwood 2 Passenger Coupe designed by [[Janne Kutja]] of [[Tuusula]], [[Finland]]. 47 of these Cadillacs were produced in [[1937]]. It is unknown how much you would have to pay for a project car, but a restored [[1937 Cadillac]] V16 Series 90 Fleetwood 2 Passenger Coupe sells for around $200,000, so chances are scarce you will ever see one customized like this in real life. Curious about how this prestigious automobile would look restyled, Janne designed one with a reworked and chopped roof.

	Back in the [[1950s]] popular custom car magazines like [[Car Craft]] and [[Custom Cars]] had their regular styling sections featuring the latest trends in custom car design. [[Car Craft Magazine]] had a column were recognized custom car builders and shops were asked to restyle a specific car, while [[Custom Cars]] ran their "Styling Studio" focusing on a monthly subject, like scoops, or rolled pans. [[Kustomrama]] is picking up the torch where these two magazines left it by introducing the '''Kustomrama Styling Studio'''. "Kustomrama Styling Studio" features custom concepts carried out by recognized custom car designer, builder and owner [[Janne Kutja]] of [[Kutja Design]] in [[Tuusula]], [[Finland]] and old-timer [[Andy Graybeal]] that started his design career at [[Gordon Vann's Body Shop]] in [[Berkeley]], [[California]] in [[1953]]. From there he went on to enroll at the [[Art Center School of Design]] where he became classmate with [[Syd Mead]]. After graduating from the [[Art Center School of Design]], Andy landed a job at [[General Motors]] designing cars in 1960.

		+	[[1966 BMW]] 1600 Neue Klass designed by [[Janne Kutja]] of [[Tuusula]], [[Finland]]. The old [[German]] compact car has been given a [[1960s]] Boulevard cruiser look, a look rarely seen on these or any other Euro cars for that matter of fact. In order to melt in with the rest of the cruisers at the McDonald's hamburger stand at the corner of Crenshaw and Artesia Blvd in the early [[1960s]], Janne has reduced the height of the roof by chopping the top 2 inches. In addition to a lower roofline, 2 inches is all it takes to remove the dog leg from the c-pillar. Other body modifications consists of shaved doorhandles, emblems and front blinkers. The roof has been covered with sparkling silver flake, while the rest of the car features a deep, dark candy red paint job. The front end has been restyled by removing the distinctive BMW kidneys, and by installing a horizontal tube-grille. The tube-grille gives the car a cleaner and wider look from the rear-view mirror, a view very important for a slow going boulevard cruiser. The suspension has been lowered for a proper stance, and a set of [[Astro Supreme]] wheels with skinny whitewall tires makes the circle complete. If you had enough money you would have [[lifts]] all around, or at least up front. If not, you could go old school and stuff the trunk and back seat full of good friends!

		+	[[Scandinavia]] has always been years behind the current [[California]] car trends. Take for instance the early [[1960s]] Boulevard Cruisers, also known as the first [[lowriders]], it took almost 40 years before that style hit the scene over here. I guess things would have looked different if we had the internet back in the [[1960s]]. If we had, the streets of [[Helsinki]] might have been filled with Euro-Boulevard cruisers such as Janne's slammed [[1966 BMW]] 1600...'''[[Kustomrama Styling Studio no. 6 - 1966 BMW 1600\|Click here for more information and photos]]'''

	After presenting a couple of high dollar dream kustoms in the [[Kustomrama Styling Studio]] I had to drag [[Janne Kutja]] down to the earth again, so I asked him to come up with an affordable concept that the average Joe could afford. He came up with a beautifully mildly restyled [[1963 Buick]] Riviera boulevard cruiser. [[Bill Mitchell]]'s first generation Buick Rivieras have great custom potential, and Janne's design shows what a mild custom job does to a Riviera. The trickiest part of this job is without doubt the mild chop.

-	Third concept in the Kustomrama Styling Studio is a [[1937 Cadillac]] V16 Series 90 Fleetwood 2 Passenger Coupe designed by [[Janne Kutja]] of [[Tuusula]], [[Finland]]. 47 of these Cadillacs were produced in [[1937]]. It is unknown how much you would have to pay for a project car, but a restored [[1937 Cadillac]] V16 Series 90 Fleetwood 2 Passenger Coupe sells for around $200,000, so chances are scarce you will ever see one customized like this in real life. Curious about how this prestigious automobile would look restyled, Janne designed one with a reworked and chopped roof.
