He also mentioned that he had more photos of Jerry’s El Camino in his Personal Collection which could have been used perfectly for that KI article. When the Kustoms Illustrated article was published Larry mentioned he really like the article, and even send me an signed copy of it. Larry signed the article I created about four old photos of Custom Cars Larry had painted, for Kustoms Illustrated magazine #21. Jerry emailed me three photos, all he had of his old 1959 Chevy.

Jerry was the owner of the 1954 Ford shown in one of the four photos. At the time Larry Watson was still alive and when Luke Karosi, editor of the magazine asked Larry to help with some information about for the article he got us in contact with Jerry Preston.
