Dave Stuckey's 1953 Studebaker pickup of Wichita, Kansas. Dave ran Stuckey Kustom, and the pickup was his personal driver from 1958 to 1960. In 1960 he cut it up.
Ed Pogue's 1953 Ford was restyled by Darry Starbird at Star Kustom Shop in the early 1960s. Named The Glitra, it featured canted quad headlights and a sparking Metalflake paint job. Stuckey rebuilt the car for later owner Jim Opfar, after his wife had an accident with the car some time between 1962-1964.
Dave Stuckey's 1965 Pontiac Catalina of Wichita, Kansas. The build was started in 1967 and completed in 1969. The car was Dave's personal driver, and the overall height of it was drastically reduced by chopping the top 3 inches, sectioning the body 3 inches, channeling it 2 inches and lowering it 6 inches.


Stuckey Kustom was a full custom shop in Wichita, Kansas operated by Dave Stuckey. Dave opened up his shop in 1959 after working for Darryl Strabird and his Star Kustom Shop. Bill Johnson, Bill Tumbleston, Roger Hatchett, and George Huengardt that had worked for Darryl Starbird went on to work at Dave's shop.[1] Not lacking for customers, Dave was soon commissioned to restyle Pat Mulligan's 1958 Chevrolet.
