Barris Chronicles The Golden Sahara

Barris Chronicles The Golden Sahara              Barris Chronicles The Golden Sahara 
         was  a 1953 Lincoln.The car was crashed
         by  George,and the whole top half of the
         car ,and rear was removed.A complete top
         body would be made,along with a custom
         rear body  with  deep angled trunk and a
         set of double fins for each side of car.It
         was the creation of "The Golden Sahara,"
         for  a client,which any of us would loved, 
         to have, this famous dream rod on wheels.
        This is my ideal Batmobile of gold dream car.  
       "The Golden Sahara" had bubble top made
        by Carson Tops.The fender skirts were very
        pretty, and amazingly  beautiful to look at on
        the car,just by themselves.

                                                                                                                                                  
                                                   
                
             It had two cool  curved fins pointing  left
        and right on each  side.The Barris version 
        originally had bullets that were pointed,   
        coming out of each side of the grill in the   
        front.However,after it was taken Bob Metz,
        he decided that the pointed bullets,were too
        much, and went with a flat point.It worked,
        and people loved it.
             The car also had a super angled trunk,in
        which, was at a deep angle between the cool
        custom double fins.1.Left top picture shows
        the crashed Lincoln,and front,the finished
       "The Golden Sahara"2.The crashed Lincoln
        with more of how accident happened. 3.Right
        The whole top of car was removed,including
        the  whole trunk.The car had to totally to be
        redesigned,to be safe,and pleasing to the eye.
        3. Left top picture,look at one double fins.Also
        notice the deep angled trunk.4.A lady in gold
        modeling  with The GoldenSahara.5.A major 
        show shows off The Golden Sahara.6.rare old
        picture in black in white of The Golden Sahara.
       The V shaped grill,and the angled lights,with in
        front, really make this dream car stand out. Along
       with those way out double fins,and super wide,
       deep angle trunk.
           Great for your your favorite retreat,and
        vacations ladies.Just think,how many shoes,
        formals,tennis skirts,tops,tennis shoes,and
       hats,vests,slacks,jeans,capris,leather,vinyl numbers,
       along, with your air mattresses,and beach balls,
       swim suits, and inner tubes would fit in this trunk.
           By the way ladies if you have the money,this car
       could be recreated,but it will cost over $250,000
       to have it built.Think of such a beautiful dream
       rod,that is not only dazzling to look,but think all
       that beautiful room to put your things,in this breath-
       taking car.If it was not for accident,this 1953 Lincoln
      would have never been turn into this golden dream rod
     "The  Golden Sahara." 
          You can see this car in the Jerry Lewis movie,called
     "Cinderfella" as  the Coach for his character.

  2. Jerry Lewis never drove the car, it was Jim Skonzakes the owner, and for few takes, the actor Norman Leavitt played the rol of the Chauffer.
