I was saddened to see that the King of the Kustomizers died-George Barris.
I was fortunate to meet him at a Rolling Meadows Illinois Car show in 2010.
He was famous for creating the Bat Mobile, Munster Mobile, Beverly Hillbillies car and many other famous Hollywood movie cars. When he appeared at the show, I asked him for an autograph, he said "I don't have a pen!" I replied, "here's mine, and you can keep it ," he declined the offer and later I found out that he was signing autographs the next day for charity so he couldn't comply with my request.
The Bat Mobile pictured came from the Volo Auto Museum.
