Lynwood, Compton, Bellflower, Lakewood, North Long Beach… by the mid-1950s, a handful of communities in what was still suburban Los Angeles had moved to the vanguard of the custom car scene. At the epicenter of it all, Rolleiflex camera in hand, was professional freelance photographer James Potter. In this photographic review of that time and place, renowned modern-day car designer Thorn Taylor organizes the best of Potter's historic photography of the cars of this "Kustomland" into features on two-dozen customs ranging from mild to radical. The results showcase not only Potter's exemplary work, but the exceptional and often daring creativity of the owners and builders of the period. Taylor's histories of the cars and their owners and captions detailing the cars' features are complemented by features on legendary custom painter Larry Watson, the Renegades car club, and Potter himself, as well as the historic context that gave rise to Kustomland and what was truly the peak era of the postwar custom car.
