Fantabula
Car Craft, February 1963, pg. 29
There are no photo captions, only this text:
The latest creation to leave the Star Kustom Shop is Fantabula, a sectioned '58 Chevy Biscayne, sporting a wild double-bubble Lucite top. Winner of the Best Custom Sweepstakes at the recent NHRA Championship Show in Indy, the car is owned by hair stylist J.P. Danos of New Orleans, Louisiana. The front and rear end received a custom renovating by Darryl Starbird. A special mix lacquer, Iced Ruby Red, is harmonious with the white pearl Naugahyde and red frieze interior. Contoured seats are partitioned by a chrome console that contains the central control stick, gauges, buttons and television. The Lucite top and doors are electrically operated in keeping with the up-t0-date styling. The rear fender fins have also been restyled.
Owner: J. P. Danos
Builder: Star Kustom Shop
Make: 1958 Chevrolet
Darryl Starbird built this National Custom Sweepstakes winner (NHRA show at Indy) for one J.P. Danos. The '58 Chevy features a bubble top which is electrically controlled, as are the doors.
Contoured bucket seats done in pearl Naugahyde and red, tufted frieze accentuates modernity of interior. The large console has center stick steering and a TV screen positioned for rear-seat passengers.
The lean look is emphasized by fins, extended 6 inches rearward and 12 inches forward. Side trim with bracketed round rod tub rails adds to illusion. Taillights, bumpers are handmade.
Body has been sectioned 4 inches, and frame has a radical drop to achieve lowness. Note protruding lower front pan section, molded in.

Traded the BSA for this '51
I'm trying to refrain myself... I need to seek help.... I'm trying to distract myself... but I can't help it... Envisions creep into my thoughts... Finned Valvecover, Two 2's on the inline six, cherry bomb single exhaust, braapp braapp brapp, fulton visor, thermador cooler out the window, ass scraping the ground, gleaming chrome in the store windows as I pass... please... someone help me. My disease clouds my judgement. I can't have two, one has to go, It's just not possible, out of my league... BUT she could be so bad...
