pinstriping by Dean Jeffries

Looks like he put a character in the middle of the license plate too!

John Glazier's car was yellow, until he took it to Barris Kustoms in 1958. Dean Jeffries striped it. Then he used it for college, and after that, parked it in the family garage in the mid 60's, where it remained unmoving for 60s year

Now it's been restored by Foose, and the asking price on Hemmings is a half million dollars

George Barris even had to watermark this image of Jeffries workshop? Effing get over yourself and let someone else shine for pete's sake, George

Great little T Bucket, without a Jeffries flamejob, that's odd. Maybe that was why is was at the shop? 

Phil Sauer owned this 51 Merc built by Dean Jeffries and striped by Von Dutch in the mid 50's and had a custom surfboard rack built for it. Photos from July 1957

the car was stuck in storage in San Diego, for 40 years, until it was pulled out in 2007

if you want to see a lot of 30s and 40s vehicles in a movie you can enjoy, but probably haven't seen since the 80s... I recommend Who Framed Roger Rabbit. Exec produced by Spielberg and Frank Marshall, directed by Zemekis, a couple movies before Forrest Gump, with Christopher Llyods best acting performance

1930s replica streetcar was made for the movie by Dean Jeffries

Bob Hoskins' character drives a 41 Plymouth

it was the last movie Betty Boop was in with her original voice actress, it was the last movie for Mel Blanc also

This movie is the only time cartoon characters from Walt Disney and Warner Bros. have appeared together on-screen.

Since the movie was being made by Disney's Touchstone Pictures, Warner Bros. would only allow use of their biggest cartoon stars, Bugs Bunny and Daffy Duck, if they got as much screen time as Mickey Mouse and Donald Duck. For that reason, they were always in pairs, such as the piano battle between Daffy and Donald and the parachute scene with Bugs and Mickey. This was continued with Porky Pig and Tinkerbell at the movie's ending.

Tim Curry auditioned for the role of Judge Doom. His performance was too scary

Bill Murray was offered the role Bob Hoskins played. Since his trademark voicemail system for getting contacted for work, instead of an agent, or real phone number, was delayed in his hearing the offer, the role went to Bob Hoskins. Eddie Murphy turned down the role

Several voice actors make cameos as the voice of the character(s) they have played before. 

These are Tony Anselmo (Donald Duck), 

Wayne Allwine (Mickey Mouse), 

and Mel Blanc (Bugs Bunny, Daffy Duck, Porky Pig, Sylvester, and Tweety Bird).

But most noticeable is Mae Questel as Betty Boop. Mae did Betty's voice from 1930 until the character was retired in 1939. Mae Questel then became Popeye the Sailor's girlfriend, Olive Oyl.

David Carradine’s car from the 1975 goofball classic Death Race 2000, based on a Volkswagen chassis, and it’s powered by a Chevrolet Corvair flat-six which is hidden underneath the dummy engine visible in the rear, designed and built by James Powers, Dean Jeffries, and George Barris

 

The 70s sure had some stupid movies, or people simply didn't yet realize they could make clever, engrossing, addictive stuff like Sopranos, Breaking Bad, Deadwood, 24, etc without special effects, simply with great writing

The red-on-white scheme is thought to be the second custom job sprayed by George Barris and striped by Dean Jeffries.

the Moonbuggy from "Diamonds Are Forever" is based on a concept sketch by production designer Ken Adam, and was designed and built by Dean Jeffries, but the remains of the rotting and rusting Moonbuggy were found in the early 1990s in a farmers field in Kent

the Manta, which was designed and built by Dean Jeffries, who also made the bubble top, nailing it on his first try

Screen grabs of the Manta Ray from an episode of "Mission: Impossible" called "The Freeze" ... the story has the team convincing a man he's just woke up in the future.

Dang it Jeffries, come up with your own thing? Why wear a Von Dutch shirt?

Ripping off another artist's trademark? Seriously, that's not cool.

it was there all the time, hiding behind Dean and the woman he was pinstriping!

Hidden in plain sight, all these years...

the Manta Ray in '67 vs 65, and some time in the 70s

Here in 1965 http://coffincorner.proboards.com/thread/11612/vintage-1-show-rod-pics

though we are used to seeing it completely white, Dean seems to have painted it occasionally to add some new factor to it while on the show circuit...

if this is the 1st time you've heard of or seen the Manta Ray, and want to learn something cool, read

Yeah, Dean was selling knock offs of the Meyers Manx

The Disneyland Car Club Day and Autocade, 1959... a coincidental gathering of talent and future icons of custom cars it would be impossible to find again. Probably George Barris is the only guy alive from that show

March, 1960 issue of Rodding and Re-Styling magazine

a one day event at Holidayland in Disneyland in California.

The show was promoted as an annual show, but was only held once.

The participants of the car show drove their cars down Main Street USA and continued to Holidayland for the show and judging.

At the time the show was held, Disneyland was only about 4 years old, and they were hungry for special events to bring more customers to Disnelyand
Famous cars and people attending:
Norm Grabowski's The Kookie T
 The Kopper Kart
 Dean Jeffries' 1956 Porsche
 Ed Roth's Tweedy Pie and Excalibur
The name Excaliber came from a sword Ed used as a gear shifter in the car. The sword was a Revolutionary War sword that came from his mother-in-law's family. As no one could pronounce the name for the car, he changed it to the Outlaw later on in 1960.

There were about 500 cars there according to the grandson of the promoter. http://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/threads/the-great-disneyland-cover-up-of-1959.394779/page-3
