For the first time, Bill Pack takes no look at a classic car designer in this monthly feature series. Instead, it is about Dean Jeffries and the Porsche 356, which he modified in the 1950s.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Into The Mind Of The Designer – by Bill Pack<\/h5>\n\n\n\n

It is easy to learn lots of facts and information about any automotive designer. We learn what great shops they worked for, what model of cars they designed and the innovations they have brought to the industry. We know about them, but we do not know them. With my imagery I attempted to get into the soul and spirit of the designer. By concentrating on specific parts of the car and using my lighting technique, I attempt to highlight the emotional lines of the designer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1956 Porsche 356 Carrera – Kustomized by Dean Jeffries<\/h5>\n\n\n\n

For this month\u2019s installment we take a divergent path from the automotive designers to a pinstripe artist in LA, who dared to redefine perfection.

He re-envisioned a Porsche 356 A, which is now known as the Jeffries Porsche. To the Porsche purist it is ‘Sacrilege’. To customizers and enthusiasts it is the birth of a new era known as the ‘Outlaw Porsche’.

In the 1950s \u201cKustom Kulture\u201d had a huge influence on American car culture and at the core of this movement was Dean Jeffries. Dean started out pinstriping with artist Von Dutch and went on to create a colorful pinstriping portfolio. His most famous and understated design was the \u201c130\u201d and \u201cLittle Bastard\u201d he painted on a 550 Porsche for his friend James Dean.

Dean Jeffries became renowned for his limit pushing contemporary design and style. Jeffries was behind some of the most iconic and unorthodox car creations to date.

Working out of George Barris\u2019s garage he started building his own cars. One of the most notable was the original Batmobile which lead to a major dispute with Barris.

This lead Dean to set up his own shop, the Dean Jeffries Automotive Styling, where his creations added a new dimension.

In this collection of imagery explore and get to know Dean Jeffries, a 1950s icon of contemporary stylings.<\/p>\n\n\n
