     After using Adobe Photo Shop 12,
I was able to do the best retouching
up original designed. I'm still trying
to go back to grape color. Forcasta in
a grape lacquer color. It took hours to
do, but I did my best to show the real
color and design of Daryl Starbird's,
Forcasta. It was a '60 Chevy Corvair,
like the 50's with double bubble 
tops. The interior was cool fuchsia.

the front, before the chrome brace. I

body is, just curving the fenders

they do is ruin the original design,

   Below are three colorized photos 
in a grape paint. Today's paints are
really better then back then. Infact
your cool pearls started back in the
fifties and sixties.


   Darryl Starbird had purchased a
low mileage 1960 Chevy Corvair 
Monza in Wichita Kansas.This was
done in 1961. Darryl Starbird had 
stripped the body down to two door
pillars and hinges, the rocker panels
and flooring. He added a pair of 1960
Cadillac rear quarter panels, which 
were very extremely modified. Fins
repositioned and angled outward,
then lengthened with extenders.
Doors hand formed contoured to 
rear quarter panels. 20 gauge 
sheet metal was hand formed with
side panels with cool spaced age
styling. The rear deck had round

rods that were rigid to the back
pieces. Front fenders were rolled,
handformed and newlyformed to
shaped. The hood panel modified to
give the car convex shape. That cool
design was over twenty years ahead
car companies back then. The peak
affect came from new rolled edges
that were welded into place. Both
front and rear V formed grills were
from 2-inch chrome tubular bars.

The double bubble top, split's at the
doorlines, with front double bubble 
top lifting hydraulically. The wild
interior took 500-man hours before
it was completed. The interior is cool
pearl white Naugahyde and button
tufted fuchsia frieze. It has four cool
bucket button tufted seats, that were
contoured from the headrest to pedals.

of Wichita Kansas did the styling of

area, Wichita Kansas, did all the
electrical. All Chevy Corvair Monza

American Plating Company. The
firewall and inner panels were also
chromed, and all suspension parts.
