Hot Wheels Collectibles joins Rod & Custom magazine in celebrating a classic '60s dynamic duo. Two auto icons from an drain which "custom" was king. Dean Jefferies' Manta Ray - Winner of the 1964 Oakland Roadster Show, the Manta Ray was the quintessential custom car of the era. Its full-house Cobra motor rested on a Maserati Grand Prix chassis encased in a sleek, handmade aluminum body. It's single-seat cockpit by a Plexiglas canopy. Bob Tindle's Orange Crate - A huge Olds mill, with front-mounted blower, produced plenty of juice for this classic '32 Ford 2-door sedan. The Orange Crate featured knock-off wheels, a single seat and a custom paint job that speaks for itself. It's no wonder it raced away as an Oakland Car show winner.
