Kustom Kulture embraces the art, cars, fashion, and hairstyles of the people who fabricated and drove custom cars and motorcycles in the United States from the 1950s to today. Spawning from Southern California in the 1960s, the hot rod culture was so strong there that it resonated with the rest of the car community and grew its own identity.
Posted on eBay, we found an item for sale that embodies Kustom Kulture; a 2011 edition of The Modern Pin-Up: A Collection of Photographs. Containing 240 pages of the best contemporary photography of Kustom Kulture, there are models from across the globe who contributed to this showcase.
Models that grace the collection include Sabina Kelley, Candace Campbell, Dita Von Teese, and Bernie Dexter. With the collection’s expansive amount of Burlesque and ‘50s lifestyle, The Modern Pin-Up should please any hot rod or street rod enthusiast.
Based on the photos we’ve seen, it is clear this collection is willing to almost bare all for their viewers to keep turning the pages. From conservative poses near trucks to being skimpy near a Bel Air, The Modern Pin-Up doesn’t disappoint.
“If a picture is worth a thousand words, then The Modern Pin-Up is the Encyclopedia Britannica of 21st century cheesecake, expertly exposing a thriving subculture of sensuous sirens that excel at exuding eroticism without coming off as sleazy or salacious,” said Will Viharo of RetroSpective Magazine.
