Custom Cars Painted by Larry Watson in the 1950s

Larry Watson describes custom car paint jobs that he did in the late 1950s. Each car is featured on a poster by automotive artist Steve Stanford and Larry uses his remarkable recall to provide details about each one and its owner. The Clock was a drive-in burger stand in Bellflower, California.

Great Paint jobs I did some myself but have no photos. Everything today is overdone. Shows what the painter can do but they have no style just gaudy.
