Ted Sitterley's 1932 Ford 3-Window Coupe of Tucson, Arizona. Ted paid $50 for the coupe in 1955. It featured gray primer, Indian blanket upholstery, and a 304-inch flathead engine that Ted and his brother built with help from Little Wolf Machine Shop.
Gil Lippincott's 1934 Ford Tudor was built in California in 1950, but Gil brought the car with him when he later moved to Safford, Arizona.
Harold Agresti's 1951 Cadillac Series 62 Coupe was restyled in the San Francisco Bay Area around 1956/1957. In the early 1960s it was sold to Arizona.
In 1972 Von Dutch gave Gene Bowers' 1966 Yamaha YM1 a flame paint job. In November of 2023, Alton Bowers told Kustomrama that he vividly recalled the story his dad told him about how he met Von Dutch at County Cycle on Cave Creek Road in Arizon. Gene was working at the shop, and Dutch either worked at or visited it when their paths crossed. Alton recounted, "My dad knew that Dutch was difficult to approach and cared little for money so my dad introduced himself with a six-pack of Coors. After they consumed most of the six pack my dad convinced Dutch to paint the gas tank on his bike." Photo courtesy of Alton Bowers.
Barry Atkins' 1955 Chevrolet of Columbia, Connecticut. The car was supposedly restyled in 1958, but the original owner and builder are unknown. Barry bought the old custom from Red McCormick of East Hartford, Connecticut in the early 1980s. He restored and restyled it further before he sold it in 1984. Marc M. of Wittmann, Arizona bought the old custom in 2005.
Glen Patrick's 1948 Chevrolet Stylemaster of Beavercreek, Ohio. Glen resyled the Chevrolet in 1985. Inspiration for the build came from the Barris Kustoms built High School Confidential 1948 Chevrolets. Jim Eckard of Glendale, Arizona bought the car in 2008.

Frank Sonzogni's 1950 Mercury was destroyed in Phoenix, Arizona.

Ron Price's 1933 Ford 3-Window Coupe of San Jose, California. Built in the early 1960s, the car made its debut in 1961, at the Grand National Roadster Show. In the late 1970s Ed Roth was commissioned to redo the car for a later owner. Roth gave it an orange paint job that he dressed up with pinstriping. Steve Montgomery of Phoenix, Arizona bought the car in 2017.
Roger Miret's 1954 Chevrolet 210 of Scottsdale, Arizona. Known as "Morphine," the build was started in 2010 and completed in 2018. Roger is a founder of the Rumblers car club.
Richard Rini's 1951 Mercury of Chandler, Arizona. Rini bought the car from Jamie Hall of Angola, Indiana in June of 2020. It was redone in its current state in the 1980s, but photos of the car from the 1970s or the early 1980s exsists.
The 1947 Kurtis-Omohundro Comet, designed by Frank Kurtis and built on a 1940 Ford chassis, was a pioneering postwar American sports car. Featuring a lightweight aluminum body it represented an innovative blend of American engineering and European-inspired design, standing out as a significant yet rare piece in automotive history. Wayne and Amy Gould of Tucson, Arizona owned the car in 2023.
