Oklahoma-Starbird the Custum Car King

Saturday, July 19th, 2008

I just so happened that we went on vacation next to one of the best custom car museums in the nation, Daryll Starbird's Rod and Custom Museum. He had 25 of the cars that he has built over the years on display, many of which are so unique that Monogram made models out of them.







Upon visiting Daryl Starbird and seeing his creations, I realized that I tend to make many things in my life way too complicated. This man is rich and famous with world wide renown for his custom car creations, but yet he is still out in his small little shop plugging away on the next project by himself with the simplist of tools. This in and of itself is a huge lesson
The boys were asking Mr. Starbird about the Batmobiles, and he said he didn't build it but happened to have the original one the 50's in the boneyard out through the horse pasture. So after running away from a dozen hungry horses, chasing us because they thought we had food, we finally made it. Mission accomplished.
