Another Rod & Custom cover car with all the polishing and plating done by CustomChrome.

This '54 Mercury Monterey is owned by Mark and Evonne Morton of San Juan Capistrano, CA. Mark, as you may know, is the driving force behind the reincarnation of Hop Up Magazine.

An interesting feature on this cool custom is that all of the stainless steel trim has been polished, then chromed. It adds a lot to the usual aspect of the car, especially when seen in person.

Another Rod & Custom cover car! This time it’s a ’32 Ford Sedan Delivery built by Dave Lane of Fast Lane Rod Shop in Donohue, IA. For George Poteet. This car is an understated stunner and CustomChrome is proud to be a part of this way cool ride.
