I owned this car in later 70's, it was in braxton co. wv. Glad I was able to find out more about the car. when I bought the car it had a rebuild 350 with full race cam and 4 speed. I painted the car blue, fixed the brakes, hooked the elec. switch back up in door, installed parklights. I enjoyed driving the car for awhile then sold it.

When Vern saw all the Customs at the GNRS Customs Then & Now exhibit in 2011 and when people mentioned the stance and tires to him he realized he might have gone the wrong direction with the car. He was thinking hard to change it back to a more custom look... as it should have been all along.
Hey Rik, My Uncle built this car in 1961 in Williamsville NY. Don Pritchard owned it. I have a chance to purchase it, but she is really rough shape. Fritz owns it.
Hello Rik!! I have quite a few examples of the early Barris business cards, spanning the years 1948-54...there are various printing and set up differences, most minor in nature. I located a small stock of the paper you refer to as "pearlised" about five years ago...had some personal cards made. The old printer fellow I obtained it from told me it was in use before the war. He had a trade name for it. Nick Matranga gave me a card circa 1951 that has his name, address, etc. and used the Barris insignia as well. David.
