Restorations as a replica of the "Royal" built by King of Kustoms
George Barris for Larry Ernst, this 1950 Chevrolet Bel Air is a
faithfully executed homage to one of the most influential custom
cars of its time. The original Royal's lineage began when Ernst, a
Toledo, Ohio, Catholic priest and custom car devotee, legendarily
drove his then-new stock Chevrolet to Barris Kustom Industries in
California shortly after buying the car. The first Royal was
subsequently featured in numerous magazines in the early '50s
including Hot Rod, Rod & Custom and Hop Up. The restored Royal more
recently made the cover of Custom Rodder and took the top spots at
the Grand National Roadster Show, Detroit Autorama and Glenmoor
Gathering. The Royal doppelganger follows the customization path of
Barris and his brother Sam, who chopped the top, slanted back the
A-pillars, shaved the door handles and fitted a curvaceous
Oldsmobile front windshield in place of the two-piece stocker.
Tri-tone paint and a Canadian Ford Meteor grille mimic the older
Royal and dual Appleton spotlights are purported to have come from
the original car. The custom cabin is loaded with two-tone tuck and
roll upholstery from the headliner to the seats and plush
carpeting. A deluxe Bel Air steering wheel presides over the dash
with a radio and clock." If you're looking to keep a piece of
