What makes a proper “Custom” car and how were they different from Hot Rods of the same period? We dive into the world of Customs in Part I of our “Hirohata Merc: Custom Legend” documentary!

The 1951 Mercury Sports Coupe built by Barris Kustoms aka “The Hirohata Merc” is the embodiment of the custom car craze that became popular in post-WWII America! This chopped Merc helped set the trend for many custom cars to follow and made an indelible mark on America’s automotive history!
