* So even though we don’t have a Papa John’s anywhere nearby, we see their commercials on the television around here, and one of the latest commercials features founder John Schnatter tooling around in a gold second-gen Camaro. As it turns out, that car’s a clone of the ‘72 John owned when he started the pizza chain, but was forced to sell to keep the business afloat. Now, John’s on the lookout for the exact car he sold off many years ago and has started a site to follow his search. (via)
* Though the CJ-8 seems to get all the attention when it comes to collectible CJs nowadays, the CJ-6 certainly has its own dedicated fanbase, and Boyink has a nice blog dedicated not only to his 6, but to all sorts of different CJ-6s. (via)
* There’s something quite incongruous about a kustom show in Italy. While kustom builders and Italians both appreciate aesthetics, the homegrown American aesthetic of the kustoms seems entirely out of place against the backdrop of handsome old-world cities criss-crossed with cobblestone streets. Which makes Lowtech’s photos of last weekend’s kustomweekend near Florence all the more compelling.
* We’ve been digging Retro Scene Magazine’s online content lately, and they deliver again with a tour of the Stanguellini family’s dealership, which includes a number of the family’s sports and racing cars from the etceterini period.
* Finally, another kustom post. This time, though, the Transforming the Pickle blog has a boatload of photos of SoCal customs and the shops that churned them out in the 1950s. Perhaps it’s time to create another Google Map to determine the kustom hotspots in SoCal?
