Reviews
" Barris Cars of the Stars and pairs the famous custom car builder with his A-list clients, everyone from the Beach Boys to Barry White." - John Neff, autoblog.com, "Seeing Sonny and Cher clowning around their new custom Mustangs, John Travolta in full Disco regalia and Farrah Fawcett lounging on the hood of her custom Corvette, big hair and all, brings a twinge to the gut and a fondness and longing for things that used to be. This will affect anyone who lived though those times even if they aren't car lovers. It is quite well written and full of George's reminiscences which make it far more than just a picture book, although it certainly does not fall down in that respect either. Barris, Cars of the Stars is a must have for anyone who enjoys custom cars, movie stars, Hollywood or just plain George. Four out of five stars, no pun intended." - David Grainger, guildclassiccars.com, "The book features mostly two-page layouts with period photos for 62 celebs. It is easy reading with as much text or more about the star rather than the car that he or she worked with Barris to create." Mark Maynard, San Diego Union Tribune "What's especially charming about this book are Barris' personal recollections of the people concerned. In fact, there's no shortage of great stories told between the covers of this 160-page hardback." - Classic Car Mart "From silly golf carts for Bing and Bob to Farrah Fawcett's Foxy Vette, most are contenders for tasteless corner, but it's a surprisingly captivating gallery complemented by revealing personal notes from Barris." - Classic and Sports Car, "Barris, Cars of the Starsis a must have for anyone who enjoys custom cars, movie stars, Hollywood or just plain George. Four out of five stars, no pun intended." David Granger, guildclassiccars.com "From the day that Barris was approached by the star to the day the car was finished, this book highlights the entire collaboration between each star and Barris, as well as the friendships that developed."
