All Toyotafest 2001
Robert Van Den Brink's custom started out as a regular 1969 Corona RT-52 Coupe. He and the students in his high school class tackled the project of building an "old school" custom, with all the trimmings! Robert's custom is for sale, so if you're interested contact him.

Chosen coolest custom in LA 1994, judged by Boyd Coddington. Top has been chopped 4 1/2 inches. Phantom Carson top and custom interior by Collins Custom Upholstery of Uplands, CA. Other features include louvered hood, electric doors, and Chevette grille and head lights in front.
The rear is customized with 1968 Pontiac tail lights molded into the rear panel. 50's-style chrome side pipes, custom dash and steering wheel, and an AM-FM tape player with 4 speakers round out the package. Even the tandem axle trailer, with storage in the front, and surge brakes is custom built.
Here's a shot showing Robert (L) describing his car to an admirer.
