Rob Morton's 1956 Oldsmobile
1956 Oldsmobile owned by Rob Morton. Rob used to hang around Darry Starbird's Star Kustom Shop on Mt. Vernon in Wichita in the early 1960s. In 2017 Rob told Kustomrama that it was fascinating to watch the master at work; "At some point he modified my Olds. Leading in the chrome parts and lowering the car, which was a problem going to the drive-in movie. The Olds would barely clear the berms," Rob remembered. The Olds also featured a Candy Apple Red paint job, a white rolled and pleated interior, chrome reversed wheels, and baby Moons.[1]
