The Paint’s the
Thing!
Most of the Classic Cars of this era had
“Flame” painting. Also popular at the time
was something called “Scallops? Which unlike
flames tended to follow the lines of the car’s
body. This style was more popular
circa 1950 through the 1960s automobiles.
Popular too, is the two-tone paint which also
accented the lines of the car or highlighted
the top or the fenders. Styles ranged from
the subtle to the high-contrast paint. Shown
here is a few pages of excellent examples of
such paint jobs. In the American Graffiti town
of Modesto, CA. A Custom Car Shop owned
by Gene Winfield was the most noted cus-
tomizer of cars around.
