Barris Cars of the Stars

by George Barris, David Fetherston

Since the 1960s, George Barris has been one of the world’s most famous car customizers, creating countless one-of-a-kind custom rides out of his North Hollywood shop. Given Barris’s proximity to Tinseltown, it was only natural that when the world’s most famous Hollywood celebrities wanted to have their cars customized, they turned to George.  Barris Cars of the Stars  features rare images of Barris with his celebrity clients and the custom cars he built for them, along with commentary and stories from the King of Kustomizers himself. Featured celebrities include such luminaries as Frank Sinatra, John Wayne, John Travolta, Sammy Davis Jr., Farrah Fawcett, Bo Derek, Ann-Margret, Neil Diamond, the Beach Boys, and many others.

[Garry Foster · Rating 3 out of 5]

Mr Barris was renowned for his creative designs and personal connections to hollywood celebrities. Great stories here. I met George and was lost for 4 hrs in his tales and sense of humor. Batmobile, MunsterKoach, Dragula are but a few of his creative designs.
