George Barris: The Automotive Genius Through His Daughters's Eyes
What do Batman, the Munster's and the Beverly Hillbillies have in common, besides being early TV shows? Our guests this week on the @WestOfTulsa show are related to the man himself, legendary automotive customizer, George Barris. All three of those 60's and 70's era hit TV shows included a Barris creation, straight from the genius himself. Joji Barris Paster, George's daughter, and her husband Barry Paster join us in studio to talk about growing up with such a famous father and where the Barris empire is headed next. Plus, how you can own a piece of Barris Kustoms history. Please follow, like and subscribe. Thank you for all of your support!
