Photos by Dick “Fuzzy” Fuerholzer

This week, The Legendary GENE WINFIELD, one of the Industries premiere customizers & painters, flew to Illinois to put the finishing touch on his old '61 Cadillac "Maybellene" now owned by Larry Tarantolo, with one of his blended/fadeaway style paint jobs, making Maybelline probably the best it

has looked.  The car was damaged in Scottsdale, Az in a storm in January during auction time.

This is a rare view of Gene Winfield at work painting  I hope you enjoy these photos of Gene doing his masterful painting of his old car. By the way, the car has 26 square feet of painting on it! Fuzzy

Would you be able to move like that in your 80’s?
