1960 Starliner Information

By -

Does anyone out there know any history on this Starliner, body work, paint, etc.?

We brought the car in 2006 in Northern California from a friend who purchased it from party in the Los Angeles area. That person stated that he had purchased the car from a collection in the San Diego area.

We believe that it was customized in the late 70's early 80's in the Midwest. Possibly in Michigan as the radiator has a plaque on it from Kalamazoo Mi where it was re-cored. The pin striping is signed "MN Kid" The car has been driven a lot after getting lowered and customized as evidence by the under carriage, wear on paint, upholstery, and engine.

Any Information would be appreciated.

Saturday June 18 we took the 51 to  the Yavapai Classic Cruisers car show at Mile High Middle School in Prescott AZ. We left the house at 5:30 AM as it's a 2 hour trip to Prescott and the show started at 8 AM, all went well except one of the trailer tires had a large blister on the side of it when we arrived at the show. I carry 2 spares in the trailer and changed the tire after I unloaded the car, checked in and had the car set up.  They had over 200 cars show up for the Fathers Day show and a good verity like this willies Gasser and chopped 34.  Chopped and channeled rat rod I think it started out as a Chevy.  1953 Kaiser like Karens Kaiser except this one is stock with a Chevy V8 in it.  Nice stock 46 Hudson coupe.  Model A very nicely done.  This Pierce Arrow Limo was a parts car when this owner bought it and made a hot rod with a Pontiac, automatic trans. and 9" rear end it also has the privacy glass behind the driver and a TV in the back
