This photographic and cultural history of the American custom car examines the evolution of this phenomenon from the 1930s to present, covering touchstone trends, influential builders, significant auto shows, vital enthusiast magazines and regional variations in styling. Rare period photography and exclusive modern shots also helps illustrate how Detroit informed the styling of customs, the explosion of the custom car scene after World War II and the factors which led to the custom's near-death in the 1960s and its resurgence in the 1980s.
