This custom 1958 Packard named "Rita" - owned/co-designed by
world-renowned "Kustomizer" John D'Agostino of California - was
built by Oz Kustoms and is powered by a stock original 289ci engine
that was detailed and chromed. Finished in Lavender Pearl from
House of Kolor, the exterior features a 5-inch chopped top,
extended hood, fender and tailfins using frenched '56 Packard
taillights. It was completely molded, nosed and decked, the suicide
doors were extended 8 inches and the cockpit area has been
completely reshaped. The windshield was moved back 6 inches and has
custom-fabricated rear scoops with decorative chrome accents. The
Pearl White and Lavender interior has a fabricated console, New
Zealand lamb's-wool carpeting and a pearl steering wheel made in
Australia. It is equipped with an air-ride system and rolls on
Packard 15x6 wire wheels wrapped in Coker tires. "Rita" has been a
major show winner, debuting in 2016 in Pomona, CA; winning the Sam
Barris Memorial Award at the Sacramento Autorama; was a feature
entry at Concours on Rodeo in Beverly Hills, CA; and was shown
overseas in Sweden and Norway. It has been on display at the
Petersen Automotive Museum in Los Angeles, CA. ** PREVIEW
