Custom Buicks. As well as loving hot rods, I used to buy the customiser's magazine 'Car Craft', which featured the astounding futuristic creations of George 'King' Barris and Ed 'Big Daddy' Roth (famous for his 'Weirdo Designs' and creator of the character Rat Fink). The pictures I hoarded as a schoolboy of custom 1959 Buicks like these became reality in the early 70s, when I found my own 1960 Buick Invicta 401 cubic inch pillarless sedan, just in time to use it for gigs with the Hot Rod Gang.
