Custom 1951 Chevrolet "Bel Air Royal"

The June 17, 2018 EyesOn Design car show at the Edsel Ford estate in Grosse Pointe Shores, Michigan.

This car is a clone of the original "Bel Air Royal" the second George Barris customizing of a 1951 Chevrolet, commissioned by Larry Ernst, who was a Catholic priest (of all things!) in Toledo, Ohio. After going through a few subsequent owners, the car fell into disrepair and was subsequently restored to the style of its first customizing. This car is a clone of the second customizing of the Larry Ernst car, done by Keith Ashey, who saw the Ernst car as a teenager, actually the first custom car he had ever seen, and he never forgot about it. Since the Ernst car was restored back to its original customizing, Ashley obtained another 1951 Chevrolet and restored it to the second "Bel Air Royal" version of the Ernst car, with some slight styling improvements. The full story is in these two links:
Larry Ernst's 1951 Chevrolet, Keith Ashley's 1951 Chevrolet
