"His most famous creations, such as the Ala Kart and the Hirohata Merc, remain instantly recognizable on the car collector circuit to this day." —The Guardian
George Barris is indisputably the "King of the Kustomizers," the most phenomenal kustom car builder ever.
George Barris known to millions of car enthusiasts and collectors around the globe as “The King of the Kustomizers” began making custom cars in the early 1940’s with his brother Sam. Motor Trend magazine proclaimed, “George Barris changed the face of Detroit” with his kustomizing creations. In the 1960s, the biggest stars and musicians in Hollywood lined up at the studio in North Hollywood to have George create and kustomize their cars including John Wayne, Elvis Presley, Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, The Beach Boys, Sonny & Cher, Peter Fonda, Jerry Lewis, Bob Hope and Bing Crosby. Barris created some of the best known and iconic cars of the 20th century, inlcuding the original TV Batmobile, the Munsters Koach, Hirohata Merc, Ala Kart and countless other made-to-order vehicles for movies, TV, and for the private use of his celebrity clients.
