Description

In the mid-1950s a handful of communities in what was still suburban Los Angeles stood at the vanguard of the custom car scene. At the centre of it was James Potter, a freelance professional photographer with a Rolleiflex. Kustomland gathers his pictures from 1955 to 1959.

What carries the book

Thom Taylor, himself a car designer, narrowed the material down to some two dozen customs — mild to radical — and wrote the histories of their owners and builders. Separate features cover the custom painter Larry Watson, the Renegades car club and Potter himself.
