BobT-47P15 Posted January 16, 2015 Report Posted January 16, 2015 .......Darryl Starbird..... who has a museum and shop near Grand Lake O' The Cherokees in Oklahoma. About an hour from here in Joplin...or about an hour from Tulsa. The museum is approx. 40,000 sq feet and houses 50 cars built by him and others. Darryl has built several of those futuristic bubble top sort of cars.........plus other things that will probably not be pleasing to strictly antique auto fans, Darryl began his career back in the 50s in Wichita, KS. --- moved to the lake several years ago. He also hosts a big custom show in Tulsa. Anyway.......we went to a casino near Seneca, MO (about 20 miles from home) last night to hear a fellow we know Eddie Valen, and his band. Daryl, his wife, and another couple had also come to hear Eddie. So I wandered over and visited with Darryl for a bit....a real nice guy.....and he invited me to bring the Plymouth to a show at his museum on June 5th and 6th of this year. Will try to do that if possible. Link to a page on Darryl's place and cars........... http://www.darrylstarbird.com/showtime.htm And another one........http://www.darrylstarbird.com/ Darryl says he likes to keep busy in his shop to maintain his touch with the cars and the body work. 4 Quote
