What custom goodies and modifications you would put on a car depended on
the area and part of the country you lived in. East coast kustoms always looked
different than West coast cars.An old timer told me where he lived in PA you
never saw a chopped top and if someone was to have one he would be looked at
like a freak.The best way to see what was actually done to cars in the old days
is get an old JC Whitney catalog or an old Almquist catalog and see what
was available,or rent some old 50's J.D. Hot Rod movies.Old 50's Hot Rod and
Custom books show the trends too.My favorites are the "mini" mags.
