Customs Illustrated – January 1961 “New Face, Old Favorite”

Customs Illustrated – January 1961 “New Face, Old Favorite” – a blue convertible leads the charge in this issue devoted to budget how-tos: grille mods, nerf bar tricks, and dash facelifts. A how-to bible in its heyday, this issue taught postwar car kids how to chop and rebuild on a dime.

Once dog-eared in driveways and clipped to garage walls, this issue helped build the golden age of custom culture—one bent bumper at a time.
