Dave Wright's 1959 Chevrolet El Camino of Poole, United Kingdom is a distinctive custom that originated from Wright's admiration for Gene Winfield and Larry Watson. Named The Golden Idol, Wright's El Camino manifests his vision and the expertise of these celebrated car customizers. He purchased the car in 1989. In 1994, he decided to turn it into a 1960s show car. After restyling the body, Wright flew Gene Winfield in from Mojave, California to have him lay down one of his famous fade paint jobs. The build was completed two years later, in 2009.
Dave and Sue Wright's 1959 Chevrolet Brookwood Station Wagon of Poole, United Kingdom. Known as "The Headhunter," Dave and Sue found the car at the Pomona Swapmeet in 2001. It underwent a transformative journey, starting with a green paint and a Metalflake roof. It later received an Air Ride kit and a striking panel paint job by Stylecraft Coachworks. The build was completed in 2023.
Andy Saunders' Dodge Daroo I Tribute of Poole, Dorset, UK. Inspired by Dodge’s 1967 factory show car built by Bill Brownlie and George Barris, Andy Saunders' Daroo I Tribute pays homage to one of the most radical Scat Pack-era creations. Based on a 1969 Dodge Dart and reworked to match the original’s 1967 profile, the tribute features a 10-inch shorter rear, 17-inch longer front, V-nose, wraparound windshield, and signature side pipes. Built using only two reference photos and period-correct details, including Parnelli Jones mags and Firestone Goldline Tires, the car was completed in June 2025 after 1,200 hours of work. Saunders debuted the car at the Beaulieu Custom and American Show, honoring the bold design legacy of the original Daroo I.
