Note the bullet holes in the cowl. Apparently, he was shot at by PD when he stole aviation gas from Long Beach Airport. From @kustomrama https://www.instagram.com/p/ClZPa3LPtbq/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

 Janne Lepola had to travel around the world to find out how special the Suomi kustom tradition really is! "On my first trip to Los Angeles I showed pictures of Suomi Kustoms to my new friends and even though they said "nice," I could see from their faces that something was wrong!" The Finish custom scene has always tickled our interest! Eager to learn more, we asked Janne Lepola to give us an introduction to this distinctive nordic kulture. Janne delivered, and he has provided us with a great collection of photos and stories. These two photos show Kalle Uusitalo's 1961 Cadillac custom of Loimaa, Finland. Loimaa is a small town with a lot of US cars, and according to Janne, Kalle set out to build his Caddy in the early 1990s. Bigger was better when it came to continental kits in Finland back then! Be sure to check out Janne's story on Kustomrama or in Lead News #62 while we work our way through his photos of Finish Kustom Madness:

The hood was shaved and molded to the body to achieve a cleaner appearance. Side scoops trimmed with two chrome bars were made behind the front wheel openings. The headlights were tunneled into the body and the headlight housings were chromed. The Jaguar Bubble-top was powered by a fuel-injected Corvette engine. The car was fit with a pair of unique chromed pipe-style headers. Once the bodywork was done, it was painted Candy blue.... ... ...

Jari Itäsaari's 1962 Chevrolet custom was built in Lathi, Finland in the late 1980s. According to Kustomrama Contributor Janne Lepola, it is one of the most beautiful Suomi Kustom Chevy's of that era. "Sadly, it has disappeared. Born four-door. Of course." Janne had to travel around the world to find out how special the Suomi kustom tradition really is! "On my first trip to Los Angeles I showed pictures of Suomi Kustoms to my new friends and even though they said "nice," I could see from their faces that something was wrong!" The Finish custom scene has always tickled our interest! Eager to learn more, we asked Janne Lepola to give us an introduction to this distinctive nordic kulture.
