The Barris taxi for the Bob Denver tv show "Good Guys"

Read all about it: http://books.google.com/books?id=MoLmwZfLk_cC&pg=PA62&lpg=PA62&dq=barris+taxi&source=bl&ots=liHlPj1jMC&sig=-rRVZTxcp-wk5V066b4Tu7ESw3w&hl=en&ei=FPhLS-jbIIaIsgPa5emiCw&sa=X&oi=book_result&ct=result&resnum=3&ved=0CBEQ6AEwAg#v=onepage&q=barris%20taxi&f=falseBut the cool kustom stuff was a grappling hook to slow or stop it, no tires and rims were the same, the taxi meter was a pair of coffee pots linked together top to top to form an hourglass that had metalflakes (that usually are put in hot rod paint)

Ever heard of Norm's Henway? I just found it in the late 70's Hot Rod
I can't find where I pulled the above image from, Brandon Flannery took the photo, and says the image was probably from the HAMB / JalopyJournal
It's not like Gray wrote, (click on the image for a very large readable size) this wasn't a restoration, the Henway is a creation. A play on the old joke, what's a Henway... about 3 pounds.The rest of these images are from the Jalopy Journal and obviously not the same vehicle

I just noticed that all 3 of these appear to have different rear windows

I wouldn't drive, build, design, or own them, but I give them credit for being stunningly impressive

Cool images from Los Boulevardos ( too lowrider for customs, too custom for lowriders )
I found another photo of the above custom... it's a radical look for something new, I haven't seen many far out customs since the late 60's early 70's craze
