"Rockets on Rubber" – This feature from The Baltimore Sun, published April 17, 1949, spotlighted the rising custom car culture in Maryland. It showcased the creativity and technical skill of local builders and enthusiasts like Ed Kairis, Harry Heim, and Ray Giovannoni, whose 1936 Ford roadster became one of the most iconic East Coast customs of the era.
