During the growing California custom scene of the '50's, the Barris brothers pioneered the chopped Mercury look.  This favorite car of customizers got the typical Barris touch with chopped top and slanted B-pillars.  It was nosed and decked and lowered.  Fitted with frenched headlights, Cadillac hubcaps, bubble skirts with teeth, and custom taillights and finally finished off in the sweetest of Kandy Kolors.  All trimmed out and ready to roll, and Barris Merc was a dare-to-be-different dream come true for America's car-crazy youth!

BARRIS KUSTOM:  Where Kustom is Spelled with a "K"

George and Sam Barris were miles ahead of custom car builders when they opened the Barris Kustom bodyshop in Southern California in the postwar '40s.  Their extreme designs and custom craftsmanship influenced the '50s custom car scene and earned them the title "Kings of Kustomizing".

It wasn't long before Hollywood took notice and made stars of their flamboyant cars.  After Sam passed away in 1967, George continued producing hundreds of award-winning showstoppers and fantasy movie cars more famous than the stars.  In the world of showbiz, the Barris crest is the mark of a Hollywood legend.

This replica automobile has been sculpted with finely crafted precision pieces with the same pain-staking attention to detail that made the real car famous and captures all the beauty of the full-scale car. 

This 1:64 scale die-cast metal and plastic replica has approximately 30 scale parts and real chrome-plated parts. This is a limited production piece that is no longer in production. The detail on this car is of the quality of a high end replica with a paint finish that rivals the real car, it must be seen to appreciate.   

This is not a toy. It is an adult collectible.
