George Barris RIP

Probably not very well known among turbo readers because of the time frame he did his most work was during the 1950s and 1960s...highly skilled at customizing....I met him back around 1980 at the huge event they do in northern michigan...somewhere I have his autograph.

Yeah surprised not many people realize who he is, or what he created. Batmobile, Beverly Hillbillies car, Monsters car, Red Baron, and The General Lee! I bet everyone has had one of his Hot Wheels cars too and never realized it.
 
I attended a seminar he and Linda Vaughn gave at Mid America Corvettes in Effingham, IL a couple months ago. Other than being kind of forgetful he seemed to be in good health. I didn't get their autographs but I have a picture of them on my phone. Thanks for posting as I didn't know he passed away.
