RIP Richard Zocchi

Richard Zocchi of Walnut Creek, California. Richard is a Northern California native who has been radically customizing all makes of cars since the age of sixteen. Richard's first custom, which he drove at age 16 was a slammed 1953 Ford that featured a 1954 Chevrolet grille with extra teeth added, 1956 Oldsmobile taillight lenses, 1956 Oldsmobile spinner hubcaps and Appleton spotlights. After the Ford followed a 1957 Oldmobile in 1960 that was all molded in and covered in a Candy gold paint job by Gene Winfield.



Richard's eye-catching creations have won countless prestigious awards at all the major West Coast car shows based on excellence in design, workmanship and paint. In the mid 1970s, when custom car creations were virtually at a standstill, Richard’s awesome “Cool 50″ Mercury was one of the primary vehicles that inspired the resurgence of customizing 1950s cars that continues to this day![1]


In 2013 Richard continued to design and produce a stunning new cruiser every year. His cars have graced countless magazine covers and his passion for this “sport” remained stronger than ever after almost fifty years.
