What a legacy! Man’s hands were created to NOT be idle and Darryl’s work is a testament to that. I’m inspired. - Pappy

I used to go with my brothers to the National Hot Rod and Customs show at the New York City Coleseum every year. And for several years the first car you saw when you emerged from the escalator was either the Predictor or the Forcaster.....WOW No, more than wow...Darril Starbird (What an amazing name!!!) Literally, well, the word reprogrammed hadn't been invented but, those two cars blew and forever changed the circuitry from the neck up of THOUSANDS of young Americans who were uddenly and forcefully jerked into the future, liked it there and left a part of their minds..and hearts there. Guess how many engineers, scientists and auto service industry personnel...and kustomizers were made in those one moments. was one of those kids and I know. Thank You Darryl.

From saudi Arabia 🇸🇦 big love and hugs to you 😘😘😘 guys for this kind of arts 👍👍👍 really appreciate you all ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ best wishes 💐💐💐

The genuine artistry of these cars is still underrated (i.m.o.). Modern designers could still learn stuff from theses cars. Maybe not practical but fun and original.

Astounding work. I can’t fathom how someone can form materials like he did.

This guy is quite literally living in car heaven

Mr. Starbird is a true gentleman!

@@MyClassicCarTV Did you ask him if any of his bubble cars can really be driven ??? Many show cars are not practical, but when you lack any real ventilation they are even worse. I've seen a few over the years, and how driving them a short distance results in dripping sweat of anyone who tried to drive it farther than from the trailer in the parking lot into the show... [ by the way the Bell UH-1 Iroquois had to have the rear doors removed for use in Vietnam in the summer, so they didn't cook everyone inside...]

I was born in 1955 in Wichita Ks. Darrell had a shop for a short time north of town and had a few cars in the front window of his shop. My dad took us kids out there to gawk at some them displayed. Man did that excursion set my imagination on fire. I didn’t see the car that captured my attention the most, it was a three wheeler with a bubble top and joystick steering. The man had quite the drive and imagination when it came to customs. Every year he hosts a car show here in Wichita. Can’t say exactly how many years is been going, but it’s got to be nearly 40 years. Definitely going make a motorcycle day trip to his museum soon.

ultra fine bubble cars 🚗 ❤, thanks for sharing 🚙

That place looks like a full size Hot Wheels collection.

Darryl Starbird is a customizing LEGEND!, this was a real treat to watch!

My jaw literally dropped at some of these creations. I loved bubble top customs as a kid. So cool to see such an amazing collection. The interiors are just as amazing as the exteriors. Daryl Starbird to me, blows George Barris away as far as talent. His work had a much nicer finish to it. Barris’s stuff was great from 10 feet away.

I was lucky enough back in the mid 70's to have the guy that had painted some of Starbird's cars to paint my 1973 Monte Carlo. That was one of the best paint jobs I had ever seen at the time, expensive but worth every penny to me!

Easily some of the coolest cars on the planet!

Outstanding collection of customers hot rod cars , l just love the bubble top designs 😀👌👍

The king of customs. Chip Foose can only dream of having half the talent as Darryl.

A talented craftsman.

Beautiful video of Starbirds cars!

I have never heard of this man or his art. Thank you so much for sharing. 👍

Someone needs to make a retro future style movie using these cars.

If only they made customs like that today!!!

Barris, Winfield, the Alexander Brothers, Big Daddy Roth, Darryl Starbird; heroes of my youth. I still have an unbuilt Monogram 1955 Chevy "Customized by Darryl Starbird." I'll never build it; I'll just keep it the way it is. What a fantastic collection!!!

Darryl was out mowing the grounds when I was there. Electric bicycles are my hobby, and I was inspired by my visit to imagine a wide range of trike designs. This place won't be around forever, get there and experience it now.

That pantera was awesome

The man is amazing These cars are awesome as. WOW. To think they are sheet metal and NOT fibreglass is true craftsmanship. Well done Darryl. You Rock. And we have the same name. Your cars blow me away .You are a true legend man.

Where does this fella find the time to create such vehicles? WOW!! UNBELIEVABLE TALENT

Wow ! I love your channel but screw the montage part on this episode... you need to film them all even if you put it out ad a 2 or 3 part series..this man has put his whole life creating these awesome vehicles..he deserves his place in the sun for sure! Remember, I have liked your channel from the beginning and you have brought so many great vehicles to all of us but this episode touched me enough to comment for the first time..thank you for all your hard work as well!

Yeah, but now the communist infected americans want to transform the USA in a place like the one you grew in, taxing, regulating, banning cars, so that they can live their dream of cruising in their UN-CO2 approved Gaz-14 limousine while the plebs are on bikes and on 10 years list for a 12 hp Trabant.

Bubbletops look spiff and all, but you gotta have triple-power airconditioning to use them. They concentrate the sunlight something fierce and the interior turns into an oven.

ROLLING ART, BEAUTIFUL WORKS ! A TIP OF THE HAT TO YOU. MANY THANKS.

Mind blowing amount of hand fabrication.a dying art.

Oh wow this is like Hot Wheels heaven!

Beautiful Cars of the future, Would be great to see these beauties on the street. I agree the motoring future is going to be more rebuilds from the past based on great platforms. There are so many great platforms produced over the decades. Who needs another mass car to buy new? When you can have the car you want for the same price as new mass car. The irony is, the "mass car" has provided us with the platforms to create our Dreams cars of the future. Imagine what you could put on a TESLA platform? The mind boggles !

Absolutely amazing how gifted and talented this Man is. And blown away by the amount of work he's completed over the last probably 45 to 50 years of his life. I was born in 68 and remember many of these cars from Hot Wheels, but I never realized that they were an actual car first 🤯 Thank you for allowing us to look into this amazing world of one-off custom made from all steele cars. They really could be from any era if one did not know about the whole bubble top thing from the 60's. Truly amazing even from the KZread perspective. sEven if you didn't care for custom cars, the amount of work and attention to detail each car received would be highly appreciated.

DROOOOOL! I love them! I want them! All of them!

Man, I gotta go there someday. Beautiful work !

Hotrod heaven!

This was a perfect video for a cold winter day on a Saturday morning😎✊🏽💪🏽

Unbelievable! Wow. 👀👀

Wow fantastic cars! I had a few hot wheels versions of a couple of them! Please do a part 2 ! Mr Starbird was great to listen too!

Cars of the future , built in the past

I'm so glad I saw this. I'd never seen/heard of these things before and they are sooooooo cool!

Absolutely amazing cars!!!

It look like a "Jetsonmobile". Not only you will need a driver's license, but also a pilot's license to fly to the air.

Fantastic video Dennis. Thanks for visiting Darryl and sharing with us. Ron

Great knowin' where some of Bill Hines' cars are at! Thanks Dennis!

Great job Dennis and crew! 👍

Amazing sheet metal work... incredible

My favorite model as a child was the bubbletop, Predicta. I've waited years to see this again. Thanks for uploading.

Sorry but the 56 Thunderbird was and is a heck of a lot more beautiful. I do give him props for the amount of hours he has put into these very creative cars. The perfect car in my humble opinion will always be the 1969 429Boss. But you probably knew that #mustangmedic 🏆

Amazing collection! Thank you , Dennis.

This show was mind-blowing. What a great job!!! Thanks 👍👍👍

Loved this episode. Just think of all the hours spent on each vehicle! Thanks for showing this museum.

WoW amazing, pure American craftsmanship, it seems like a galactic version of iconic American muscle💪 cars Thanks for sharing Dennis👍

What an awesome collection!

Yeah, come on...make a 2nd part. He..and the cars deserve it. C'mon

The purple and blue cars,my favorites.

So cool to hear the builder himself go thru the weird and wonderful cars. Would be cool if you got to try the one that didn't have a steering wheel on the road.

Amazing!!

This is better than Darryl Starbird's Super-fleck moonbird!!

Bubble Bubble toil and trouble. The Sheldrake Seven. The Commander Balock. The trippiest alien to ever pilot a starship. Please gentleman,, sit. I know, a thousand questions, but first the Tronra 🥃.

Fantastic ! Thank you Dennis

Why doesnt this chanell have over 1 mil subs

Dennis, This has to be one of your better shows, besides the previous one with Jay Leno and the vintage race cars, or would that be antique Classic race cars? lol. We haven't heard from Darryl Starbird in years so this is a good time. Brings back a lot of memories. You get a thumbs up on this one, what the heck, I'm subbed and clicked the bell already. Thanks for sharing, I really enjoyed it.

Looks really pretty ... but do they drive?

You missed 1965's cars from movie 'Wild Wild Planet' looked like the Jetsons on wheels

Wow. Such an amazing collection and man that guy is talented. Would love to see a full tour of this place. That Vantasta sort of looked like what I would think was the recreation vehicle in the old tv show Space 1999. Anyway, cheers and greetings from Australia and subscribed.
