Cristina Dudley's 1955 Chevrolet of Huntington Beach, California. Known as "Daddy's Girl," the car was built by her father, Gordon Dudley as a tribute to the custom car culture of the 1960s, combining period-accurate aesthetics with modern touches for enhanced comfort and performance. Photo courtesy of Gordon Dudley.

The meticulously crafted interior of Cristina’s Chevy featuring white upholstery with purple piping to match the exterior's 1955 Ford Regency Purple. The interior was upholstered by Wahl’s Upholstery, and the chrome and stainless steel work were handled by Sihilling. Photo courtesy of Gordon Dudley.

The custom touches, including a 1959 Chevrolet Impala steering wheel and dash knobs handcrafted by Gary Niemi, evoke the style of early 1960s custom cars. Photo courtesy of Gordon Dudley.
