Hot Rod Magazine feature car! From their story:
Anyone who has more than a passing interest in custom cars is
likely to be familiar with John D'Agostino's name. He's been a
major player in the scene ever since debuting his mildly
customized, Art Himsl-painted '70 Pontiac Grand Prix at the Grand
National Roadster Show in 1970. Since then he has designed and
produced more than 40 customs, averaging one new debut every year.
All of his cars are traditional in style; most are also pretty
radically redesigned.
The '64 was handed over to bodyman and painter John Cardinalle in
Antioch, California, shortly after being purchased from the
original owner. In the interest of accentuating the car's crisp
styling and giving it a longer look, the front fenders were peaked
and the rear quarter-panel peaks were extended to create small
fins. The rocker panels were also extended, and all seams welded
and filled. After frenching the stock taillight lenses and shaving
off virtually all of the trim and emblems, John sprayed a bright
finish of PPG Lemon Chiffon Pearl paint with Peach Pearl
highlights.
Dressing up the stock grille with Lucas lights and a couple dozen
bullets helped finish off exterior appearances, as did bolting on
chrome 14x6-inch Wheel Vintiques rims with vintage cone center caps
and Coker 1 1/4-inch whitewalls. The lowered stance-achieved by
Frank Russo with modified coil springs and a C'd frame-contributed
even more to the car's visual length. Like most D'Agostino customs,
the original 394ci V-8 engine and automatic transmission were left
stock, although they were rebuilt by Frank Russo and Brentwood
Transmission, respectively. Antioch Muffler bent and welded the
dual exhaust pipes.
Just as he's done many times in the past, D'Agostino called on Bob
Divine to stitch pearl white upholstery in a manner evoking the
look of the early '60s. Divine responded with rolls, pleats, and
biscuit inserts on modified late-model bucket front seats, a stock
rear bench, and a custom console. Naturally, the trunk was
upholstered to match. Yellow carpet was laid down to coordinate
with the lemon and peach paint on the dash, while a Pioneer stereo
was stashed in the glovebox to provide cruise-worthy tunes.
Power steering, power brakes, a hiddedn AM/FM/CD player in the
glovebox, radial white wall tires, chrome wheels, customer
interior, custom trunk upholstery and more! Don't miss your chance
to own this gorgeous one-of-a-kind Oldsmobile!
