| | 1955 Ford Bubbletop - Rod And Custom Magazine |
 | | Since most of the 1955 factory sheetmetal had been reduced to dust, Gary had to hand-form the body panels, using a dozen 4x8 sheets of 18-gauge steel. |
 | | On August 19, the Beatnik rolled onto the block at the Monterey Sports and Classic Car Auction in Monterey, California, and sold for $360,000 plus commission. |
 | | We're confident that whoever went home with this amazing bubbletop will continue in the tradition of Starbird, Barris, Roth, the Alexander brothers, and other early customizers, who were not only builders but showmen. |
