Kings of Kustoms
Ever since Henry Ford created the assembly line, there have been car customizers determined to break the mold. This unique art form has produced true visionaries, customizers building both stars of the street and stars of the screen.
There are a select group of these artists that set the bar for all the rest. Their original creations establish trends that are imitated for decades. They are the best of the best, they are legends, they are true Kings of Kustoms.
For more than 65 years Gene Winfield has been creating the world’s finest custom cars.
Hollywood also discovered Winfield’s genius and the results were some of the most unique and memorable vehicles movie and TV audiences had ever seen.
Whether it’s turning a ’50s sedan into a full blown custom, spraying a classic Winfield fade paint job, creating a time-travelling DeLorean, or rocketing at 200 miles per hour across a dry lake bed, Gene Winfield only has two goals, to be the best and to never stop.
Three Days in Northern California
Los Boulevardos Car Club enjoyed three solid days of car culture in Northern California starting with a cruise up 101 from Los Angeles to San Jose with the crew from Starlite Rod & Kustom. We arrived at the Deadend Magazine Cruise Night for a perfect way to unwind after the drive. The next day Los Boulevardos cruised in and took 3 awards at the NorCal Knockout, and still managed to wake up early enough to line up for the Strangers BBQ on Sunday after enjoying late night libations thanks to Stoney & Brooke.

Depth of Speed – Andy the Pinstriper
Depth of Speed takes us to pinstriping shop of Andy Kawahara. Known succinctly as Andy’s Pinstriping, his craft is a true unification of art and automotive. Josh Clason speaks with Andy regarding why he loves pinstriping and how the old crowd has embraced the artform. While most will unanimously agree, the art of pinstriping much like sign painting is a dying breed due to the vinyl industry but with that comes glimmers of hope.
