Dear Mr. Watson,

I write to you with some unfortunate news. Sometime in the mid 80s, your beautifully crafted Cad Brougham Kustom was subject to poor decisions and unprofessional craftsmanship. This included removing spot lights, stripping the raspberry candy paint and undoing of your beautifully molded tail fins. I find this type of behavior utterly shameful and when I find the commies who committed such crime, I intend to give em hell. OFF THE PROPERTY!

As bad news as travels fast, I would also like to share a positive note. I’ve made leaps and bounds on understanding Bill De Carr’s process for shaving and smoothing the tail fins. So with confidence, I will get things put back in order just like it was 1959. We will get the Brougham back exactly how you intended. I got you.

Give ol Gene, Bill, Geroge & Sam my best up there. Love you pal. Kustoms Forever.

Larry Watson’s Cad Brougham loaded and heading to Crusin’ Nations 2025 in Santa Maria, Ca this weekend.

This is just so cool. I’m so grateful to be in this position to showcase Watson’s Cad, which has been missing for over 35 years.

There was a poor attempt in the 90s to refit (not restore) the Brougham for resale. Because of this, re-assembling the car (in current state) has been dirty, nasty, difficult, smelly, bloody and incredibly enjoyable. Don’t mind the rat p**s odor at the show. Its just the beginning 😎
