The World Fastest Place - Alexandra Lier


“The World’s Fastest Place” is Alexandra Lier’s tribute to the vanishing era of internal combustion and fossil fuel racing.
These are portraits of a generation of Speedseekers who cherish the smell of gasoline and oil like the very air we breathe; people whose sense of purpose is tied to the creation of record setting vehicles.


They are powered by absolute devotion, friendship, and the ambition to win—from the first turn of the wrench all the way to the starting line at Bonneville.

George Barris R.I.P

Today the sad news went viral that legendary Kustom Car King George Barris, has died

Barris was born in Chicago in 1925 

Barris began building model cars and customizing at an early age. When he was in high school he created his first full custom using a 1936 Ford convertible as the base.

George Barris made a name for himself when he moved to Los Angeles after World War II, launching Barris Kustom Industries with his brother Sam.

After a while Hollywood saw what cool cars he did built and his first film assignments included work on cars for Alfred Hitchcock’s North by Northwest, 1958's High School Confidential and 1960’s The Time Machine.

The car that really made him well know'n was the vehicle he built for Batman. Barris did a Lincoln based concept car called the Lincoln Futura, wich he had kept in storage for years but finished in 15 days.



The success of Batman and the Batmobile led to more work, such as... Mannix, The Beverly Hillbillies, Knight Rider and designing the Munster Koach for The Munsters.

He also designed novelty cars or performed customizations for a lot of celebrities such as Elvis Presley, John Wayne, Bob Hope, etc...
